Reaching the front entrance, Skylar grabbed the door and tried to open it softly. He wasn't sure if the doors would be locked by now. They were only a couple of minutes late, so the teacher would most likely give them late slips or call the office to change their attendance. Sky hoped the teacher hadn't already done the attendance because it would make it easier, but he didn't mind taking a late slip to the office. The door didn't open when Sky pulled on it, so he pressed the ringer to get into the school. Stepping back, he waited to hear a buzz that signalled that the door was unlocked. He opened it and stepped aside for Alex. He let go of the door and was quick to return to Alex's side. "To the art room we go." Skylar said When they got to the art room, Sky walked in first, slightly holding the door open for Alex. He went to his seat, and sat down, trying not to make eye contact with anyone. He offered a small smile to the teacher but that was all.

Alex slowed to a stop a few steps behind Skylar when they reached the doors of the school. He glanced towards Skylar before watching as he tried the doors only to find them locked and hand to press the ringer to get the doors opened for them. The idea that he was late enough for the doors to be locked like this sent a tendril of worry and unease through him, though he did his best not to let it show. Hopefully, his parents wouldn't learn of this. Funny, how, when he'd made the decision to go to Skylar's place he hadn't held any worry about his parents learning he was late to class, but now that he was here, waiting for the doors to open it was almost overpowering. He nearly jumped when he heard the buzz signaling that the doors had been unlocked and looked up to find Skylar pulling one open and stepping aside for him. For a second Alex was still before he offered him a smile and moved to step inside. After taking a few steps from the door, Alex slowed and turned to wait for Skylar to join him, and once he had he started walking next to him towards art class. At Skylar's words, he chuckled softly and gave a nod. When they reached the art room Alex offered Skylar a thankful smile when, once again, he held the door for him. Turning his blue hues to the teacher he gave a slight nod. "Sorry, we're late." He said before he moved to take his seat at the back of the class.

When Sky was seated, his eyes moved to look at Alex. He watched as Alex sat down in his spot, and he offered him a quick smile before looking away. Sky couldn't belive that Alex was officially his boyfriend now. He wouldn't be able to show him off but knowing that Alex was his, and he was Alex's, made his heart flutter. Sky was fine with this being a secret, for now. Sky leaned back in his seat, letting his eyes wander around the classroom. It seemed like nobody cared, they were in grade 12 and that's when people get less judgy and stare less. "Hope you had a great vacation Skylar, you've got lots to catch up on though." The art teacher said (forgot her name). Sky was slightly surprised when the art teacher spoke to him, his mom must have said something. "Ya, it was great." Sky replied, swallowing thickly before looking at Alex. "Also, you guys are just in time for attendance." She also added.

After sliding into his seat, Alex slipped his backpack from his shoulder and set it down on the ground, propping it up against his leg once he'd done so. Briefly, he let his gaze sweep over the room before he turned to look at Skylar, catching the smile that Sky threw his way just before he looked away. Feeling a smile tug at his own lips he let his gaze remain on Skylar a second longer than necessary before he turned to look toward the teacher when he spoke. The fact that she would say anything at all surprised Alex and instantly his gaze returned to Skylar, as if wanting to make sure he was alright. Sure, Ms. Pierce hadn't suggested anything had been wrong, but she'd still made a point of bringing up his absence in front of the entire class as well. When Skylar looked at him, Alex did his best to offer him a smile that was as reassuring as he could manage and gave him a slight nod. Despite the teacher saying something it didn't seem like anyone else was paying much attention or judging Skylar's absence. Letting out a soft sigh at that fact he looked towards the teacher when she spoke once more and paused in surprise before feeling himself relax. If they were in time for attendance, then there was no need for his parents to be notified of his tardiness.
