Chapter Seven: School

Before we start I'm starting a new "book"! Tommy is a foster with Wil and Techno and they go live with Phil but Tommy has had some troubling past homes and just doesn't want to trust phil or fit in, Will his family turn on him or stick together?
————————————————————————

Tommy climbed back up through his window at the front of the house, a route he knew well but still found hard to take. The blonde had been sneaking out almost every night now, and with school starting today, he really needed it. Tommy knew it wasn't the best thing to do at the time given school was in an hour, but he was stressed out. Between training, planning races and watching, and balancing his friends and family, he had no time for school it was just an inconvenience no one needed it anyways.

He stepped through his window, shoes off and halfway through he scanned his room, making sure no one was in there while he was gone, when he was sure no one had been he quickly entered his bedroom fully and slid his window shut not making a sound. He quickly set down his shoes, and slid into bed not caring what clothes his family would find him in, on a usual day they wake up about forty five minutes before school starts, so that would mean he could get fifteen minutes of sleep. He felt his eyes heavy and closed them about to drift off to sleep when his brother knocked on his door.

"C'mon Toms! It's the first day we're waking up early so that we can get there early and find our classes, don't want an incident like last year right?" Wilburs voice was heard through Tommys door. Even with the pillow shoved against the blondes ears he could still hear his brother.

He sluggishly got up and began grabbing everything he needed to get through school that day, pencils, paper, notebooks, highlighters, pens, and flash cards were shoved into his backpack messily. He flung his bad over his shoulder and headed downstairs, still wearing his same blue jeans and black collared shirt from the day before.

Quickly he grabbed the bottle of concealer he had lying on his chair and rubbed it under his eyes, he started having huge bags under his eyes in the past weeks almost black front eh lack of sleep bu the didn't necessarily care. He planned to catch back up on sleep this week given training wasn't going to happen. Karl had a date with Quackity and Sapnap, and Tom suggested they spend the whole week together given they hadn't seen each other much.

Walking down the stairs he sat on the bottom step, watching the chaos in front of him. Wilbur was shouting at Phil asking where his chemistry textbook was, Techno was looking calm and collected but not acting that way, he had his hair tangled and was trying to brush it into a bun on the top of his head, but failing as it fell down. As he turned his head at the noise on the steps he saw Tommy sitting down.

"Hey Tommy can you help me with this?" He asked with a sort of pleading look on his face. Techno has always tried to do his own hair but always has to have Tommy do it for him, although the youngest didn't like to admit it, he liked styling Technos hair.

Tommy stood up and took the supplies needed from his older brother. Technos hair was a soft pink color and his hair played into it. It was almost like silk, Tommy didn't know how he got it that way, his own hair was soft but still very coarse. He finished putting it up, two strands of light pink hair dangling in front just how Techno liked it.

"Thank you." Technoblade said, "You have everything you need for school?"

Tommy nodded and sat back down, not having the energy to reply. He tried keeping his face looking energetic but even that wore him out.

Techno noticed this but didn't say anything to his younger sibling other than, "Hey if you're tired still you can take a nap on the couch I'll wake you up when we leave ok?"

Tommy simply nodded again and layed down on the couch. Closing his eyes he began dreaming of himself sleeping in a white sheeted bed, in the middle of the sunset ridden sky.

"ommy.... Tommy? Mate wake up." Tommy opened his eyes seeing Phil standing over him. "C'mon mate we need to get you to school, you're riding with Techno and Wil remember?"

"Yeah yeah I got it I'll see you later Phil." The younger blonde grabbed his backpack from by his feet and stood up, Techno and Wilbur were by the front door waiting for him. The three shuffled out of the door one by one and got into an old black car.

"See you guys in a bit! Have a good first day." Their father yelled to them from the front door as they started out of the driveway. Phil getting smaller and smaller as they got further and further.

"So Tommy what you didn't get enough sleep last night?" Wilbur laughed, looking at Tommy through the rear view mirror.

"Oh just staying up late on my phone haha." Tommy tried playing off, it worked quite well. The next conversation topic was school and their classes, who's picking who up when, taking the bus etc.

The youngest stared out at his window and counted how many days until he could drive again. 6. Six more days until he didn't have to be around the constant pressure that was his family. The past few weeks leading up to school it was "What can we do to keep your grades up this time round?" Or "Hey do you want a tutor for your classes Wilbur and Techno probably have some friends that can help." No one ever saw how stressed he was, how he would sleep most days and go out at night, the way he was almost never at home or how he barely came out of his room when he was home.

....or so he thought....

~FlashBack~

"He's fine you're just paranoid man, c'mon it's Tommy." Wilbur assured Techno. They had been up since 7 am that morning and it was now 3 am the next. "It's fun, energetic, annoying, loud Tommy."

They were pacing, well Technoblade was pacing, around the living room and Wilbur was sitting on the couch, scratching his head watching his older brother. Technoblade had been bringing the conversation about Tommy not being himself for a few days but Wilbur just thought he was overreacting he tended to do it a lot himself so why not, it wasn't unreasonable. Technoblade thought it was his job to keep everyone, even Phil, safe.

"Are you sure? I mean really look at him the next few days okay? I mean-" Just as Techno was telling Wilbur to look after his brother more, the boy in question walked in.

The blonde had his hair all disheveled, clothes dirtied, and his face was worn out and tired. He looked as if he had just rode a bull.

He didn't say anything really just a "Hi sorry I'm past curfew make it up to you later.", and went up to his room.

Techno gave Wilbur a see what I mean? look and the brunette just sighed. "Alright alright I'll look into it."

~End Of My Crappy FlashBack~

"Stop looking out the window like you're in one of those sad music videos Toms, we're here." Wilbur snickered as Tommy frantically grabbed his pack and opened the door. "See you after school and remember no talking to us, you'll ruin our image." Wil said with a wink joking but still stinging Tommy a bit. Techno just slapped his arm and reassured Tommy to come up and ask them for anything if needed.

Tommy just got out of the car and started walking to his classes, he caught site of Ranboo and Tubbo talking with Purpled but was too tired to make an effort to say hello. He continued off to his first period, History, and sat down in class.
