My brother's bestfriend // Wilbur Soot x OC

"I've always wanted to go to Brighton"

CW/TW: Swearing

My alarm woke me up at 8, and I got out of bed, got dressed, did my makeup, and grabbed a monster from the fridge. Tom walks downstairs, his hair looking like a bird's nest.

"Are you really drinking monster this early?" He asks, his voice deeper than usual.

"I got 5 hours last night, I need to not fall asleep when Will's giving me the tour"

"Oh right, yeah, your new boyfriend" he says, yawning.

"Fuck off back to bed, gremlin" I say, playfully hitting him with a tea towel.

"Bitch!" He complains

"Pussy!" I yell, as he walks back upstairs.

I get a call from an unknown number. I answer, "Hello?"

"Hey, Syd? It's Wilbur"

"Oh hey, are you on your way?"

"Oh, I- uh, I mean, I can be, if you're ready, I just didn't know what time you got up"

"Yeah, you can come now, it'll give us more time to look around, right?" I say, nervously

"Yeah, ok... Right, I'm on my way. See you in 5 minutes!"

"Ok bye!" He hangs up and I finish chugging my monster.

"Dad!?" I yell. He doesn't reply. "Dad!" I yell again. I sigh and run upstairs. I knock on his door.

"What, Syd?" He asks, half asleep.

"Will's gonna be here any minute, so I'll see you later"

"When will you be home?" He asks. I think but get distracted when a text from Will pops up.

Unknown - *Here :]*

"Ok, gotta go dad, see ya later!" I run downstairs and out of the door. I run towards his car and let myself in the passenger seat.

"You excited?" He asks, starting the car.

"Yeah, my dad called the college and they confirmed that I can start on Monday!"

"That's so great! Oh my god, it's gonna be so fun!" he exclaims

"Yeah, I'm sure it will be," I smile. "Do you always pick Tommy up for school?" I ask

"Yeah, even if we're arguing. Always. He's my man, you know. He relies on me- probably a little too much"

"It's nice you two are such good friends" I look out of the window. He hands me a cable.

"You should connect your phone to the Bluetooth speaker" he suggests

"Why do you like my music so much?" I connect my phone and play my playlist. 'By your hand' By Los Campesinos! plays.

"Because we have the exact same music taste, so it doesn't really make a difference" We both laugh and sing along to the words.

"We're here, come on!"

I pause the music, as he steps out of the car and waits for me.

We go into the main entrance and begin the tour.

"This place is really nice" I say, admiring the front room.

"You like this place? You should see the common room"

"Can we go there?" I ask, excitedly

"Yeah of course. That's where we all usually hang out, so I'll show you our table" We go into the common room. He shows us the table everyone sits at.
