I haven't seen the TV show so this might be a bit wobbly.

"Hurry up," you say under your breath as you cross your arms.

It's so cold outside and you've already knocked on the door, like, twelve times already. Where is he? Barry Allen is never late even at his own home. You sigh as you tap your foot against the ground and continue to wait for your best friend.

It's not like he could've forgotten, could he? He was the one who asked you to come over anyway. For some reason he's been missing a lot of classes and now he has no idea what to write down for the test next lesson. You offered to help and he told you to meet him at his house on the weekend. Well, it's the weekend and you're here but where's Barry?

As if the weather wasn't cold enough, you felt this gush of air pass by you making you shiver. Almost immediately after the wind calms down, the door in front of you opens and there you see Barry, puffing slightly and looking confused.

"(Y/n)? What are you doing here?" He asks.

You widen your eyes in an are you kidding me sort of way and then sigh.

"You told me to come here, remember? Test Monday?" You say.

"Oh, right! I completely forgot." Barry says, hitting his head with his hand, "I'm sorry, come in."

He moves back to allow room for you to pass by so you walk inside and wait for Barry to close the door. When he does so he walks over to you and stands there. In silence. Awkwardly.

"We going to your room?" You ask.

"Right!" He says and walks up the stairs.
(I imagine stairs in his house, so sorry if he doesn't have them).

You follow behind him wondering what's wrong with him. He's stuttering, even more than usual, and he's been forgetting a lot of things lately.

When you reach his bedroom he opens the door and then immediately shuts it.

"Uh," Barry breathes while leaning on his doorframe, "Just, um, give me a second."

He quickly runs into his room and then after a second, literally-- just like he said-- he opens the door with a goofy grin on his face. His bedroom is absolutely spotless. You raise your eyebrow at him and then walk inside.

"Alrighty then, let's get started." You say.

After setting up on the floor-- books everywhere and notepads open with pencils and pens lying next to them-- you start by asking Barry questions that'll be on the test. He gets confused a lot so you have to either say the question again really slowly or explain to him how to get the answer.

It's really odd, though. Sometimes you can see that he's listening and other times it looks like he's completely zoned out. He does it again so you snap your fingers in front of his face.

"Hello? Earth to Barry." You say.

He shakes his head and laughs, lowering your hand with his own.

"I'm here." He smiles.

"You sure? You keep spacing out."

"Yeah, I'm fine. Just distracted I guess."

"By what?"

You look behind you to see if he's watching anything there but it's just his bedroom wall and clothes on the ground. When you turn back to look at him he just smiles softly.

"Not behind you." He says.

"Then where?" You ask, voice low.

"Here." He says, pointing at you.
