Connor's P.O.V (Remade)

I walk to school, as usual. Watch as Zoe's car zooms past me, as usual. Get to the school steps, as usual.

But I feel like somethings wrong. Which, that usually isn't a very good sign, right? Thinking or knowing that something is wrong? I walk up the steps, keeping a steady grip on the railing to my right. I keep walking until I reach the top, and look around.

Then I spot it, or him more like. He looks like he's about to have a breakdown right then and there on the bench he's sitting at. I walk over, trying not to be so obvious, because 'Hey, are you okay?! You look like your about to cry!' would honestly just scare him, and ruin the friendship that I've been quietly trying to build up. 

I stop when I get around seven feet away from him. He looks up. Must have noticed the looming shadow I left over him. He slides his headphones down, hugging his knees to his chest. I take that as a clear enough sign to sit down and work this out. 

"You.. uh. Okay?" He blinks, and shakes his head. "Right. Kinda figured.--" "It's that obvious?" I force myself not to stutter out an answer, and set my hand down on the bench in between us. "No, no! I just, um. Well, okay, maybe a little. But I'm sure it won't hurt your 'street cred' or whatever." I force out a small laugh. He seems to too. "So, do you like..." Pause. "Wanna talk about it?"

"Maybe." 

I sigh, and grab one of his hands, squeezing it. "I'm gonna listen to you, you know that, right?" He grabs his glasses and shoves them into his pocket. "Evan randomly decided to visit this morning." He mumbles. I raise my eyebrows. "The fuck did he do that for?" He shrugs, and seems to unstiffen a little bit. "Idon'tknow, he just decided to come over, and like, wait stakerishly by my truck, and all I could evendo was just answer him, but he wasn't fucking listening, and..." He gives me a look like I'm staring way too much, and then points his gaze down at his converse. I look down at the bench. "And. And!" He starts up again, as I point my eyes back toward him.

"He didn't even say 'Hey!' or like, giveme a heads up or anything, he just fucking came over, interrupted me, andlike, I didn't sleep atall last night so that really fucking sucked. And now I'm talkingtoomuch. Cherry on top." What the fuck? No, no you are not. "Nononono, your not, I promise. And like, I love hearing you talk so it's fine, it's chill." I pause to recognize what I just said. "I mean! I mean, your funny. And cool, and like, I dunnoIjust. Sorry." 

Then something really fucking unexpected happens. He hugs me. He goes straight in, lets go of my hand, and full on hugs me. And it doesn't even end there. I hug back, and we just sit there. He buries his head in my shoulder and all I can do is sit here and be a baffled gay with no idea what to do other than listen and comfort at the moment. "Thanks." He says, and I can absolutely tell that this hug isn't stopping for another forty five seconds or so. "And, I'm not cool. I don'tknow where you see that in me. Your cool. Your tall, and badass, and nobody wants to fucking mess with you." He brings one arm down, and grabs his glasses from his pocket, putting them on. "I have to wear these. So. Y'know." 

"Whoever said tortoiseshell glasses weren't cool?" I laugh, as he pulls away from me. "Literally everyone." "Ahem." I start, reaching over and adjusting them for him. "I think their awesome. And everyone else sucks a lot, I mean, they are teenagers." 

"Connor, we're teenagers." "And sometimes we suck too, circle of life. Wanna go get some coffee?" He looks down at his phone, laying neatly on the bench near him. "First period starts in ten minutes." He yawns. "You'll do better in class if you have atleast something in your system, so I think they won't mind if we miss a few minutes." I get up, stretching out my hand. 

"Well?"
