“Hi” I said nervously and very embarrassed
“Achilles wanted me to stay the night” I answered him
I assumed the reason he asked is because he already talked to his dad about it but apparently not. He looked up and down at me, His face completely neutral which made me more nervous.
Him being mad I could at least understand, I could apologize and then just leave but, him looking so calm made me feel sick with doubt.
“What's your name?” He asked me calmly
“Patroclus” I answered trying to steady my breathing, I also assumed Achilles told him he invited me
“Oh your Achilles new friend” He smiled at me
Seeing his smile made me feel much more relaxed; I could see more of Achilles' features in him and their smiles were practically the same.
He opened the door and we walked into Achilles' room together, I looked around the room. It was a normal boy's room.
He had posters of superheroes around his walls, I saw a red chair in the corner, He had a nightstand next to his bed and his closet was closed. His room also smelled nice, Like vanilla beans
“Should've known he was inviting someone to his room, His room is cleaned for once he joked
I sat down on the bed awkwardly. He walked out and came back with pillows and a blanket. He handed them to me and then walked out again and came back with a small bed on wheels.
“Thank you” I thanked him and he smiled at me
“Achilles should be up soon” He said to me as he walked out of the house
I placed the pillow and blankets on the wheel bed and laid my head down on it, I heard the door open and I saw Achilles walk in.
“Hows your mom” I asked sitting up on the small bed
“She’s fine, She was just asking me about Spring break” He answered and grabbed clothes from the closet, I saw he grabbed a red tank top and black shorts
That's when I came to realize that I was still in my nice clothes and since I had anticipated staying the night I didn't bother bringing anything else.
I didn’t say anything not waiting to make things awkward, Achilles got dressed in his closet and walked out and flopped on his bed
“What are you doing during Spring Break?” I asked
“I’ll be with my mom, she always has me during spring break, I go to her house” He answered me as he rolled to his side to face me
“Where does she live?” I asked rocking myself slightly
“She lives near a beach called “Poseidon's ocean” I don’t know the address” He shrugged
“Oh so just the two of you?” I asked
“Yeah well…” He said as he stood up and crossed his legs on the bed
“Poseidon beach is pretty popular, so a lot of parents have summer homes near there so I’ll be seeing Deidameia, Iphigenia, some of the boys, and Briseis works around there so I’ll see her too.
“Oh” I nodded
“Iphigenia will be there” I thought
“What are you doing?” He asked me
“Oh um…I’ll be back home so I guess I’ll spend time with my mom” I answered
“Nice” he nodded
“Are you dating Iphigenia?” I asked, it wasn't until the question was out in the opening when I realized I've already asked before only days ago
“No” He answered nonchalant so I guess he forgot I asked already
“People seem to want you guys to date” I said
“Oh yeah everyone does” Achilles chuckled
“I'm pretty sure our mom’s have been planning our wedding since we were 10” Achilles told me
“But you don't like her?” I asked
“No were just friends” he told me
“Do you like any girls right now?” I asked
“No” Achilles shrugged
“You?” He asked me
“No” I shook my head
“Cool” He said and coughed
“Well we should head to bed” I said and laid down on the small mattress
“Yeah” He agreed and laid down on his bed
Achilles went to bed and I slowly followed after him; The next morning I woke up with him inches from my face rubbing his nose gently on mine.
“Good Morning starshine” Achilles greeted me and I slowly stood up
“School starts in two hours so we can eat breakfast” Achilles told me and walked into his closet
“Oh I’ll just grab my uniform before heading to class” I yawned getting off the bed
“You can borrow my old uniform from Middle School, it's basically the exact same” He told me as he grabbed his clothes
“You think I’ll fit your clothes?” I smirked at the idea of my tiny self in his clothes
“I was shorter in Middle School” Achilles answered and gave me his old uniform
He started undressing and I immediately turned around and I quickly got dressed. We walked out together and I noticed Achilles' father wasn’t at the table.
“Where’s your father?” I asked as we walked into the kitchen
“Work” He simply answered as he sat down and a tall woman came and placed a plate of waffles, scrambled eggs, and bacon
We started eating and after we finished we walked out the door holding hands and walked to school. As we got closer to the school I started to feel embarrassed by how I looked.
Achilles' clothes weren’t that much bigger than me but they still didn't fit. The sleeves going down to my hands were barely visible and while they did look exactly like our regular uniforms the only difference is that Achilles name is ingrained on the front pocket which I worried one of the boys would see.
We made it on campus and he hugged me as we went to our separate classes. I walked into Math class and sat down without saying anything or looking at anyone.
I opened my notebook and had my head down the whole class.
