Smile

Y/N pov:

We started back on monday. Back to school. Back to normal.

Over the weekend me and Tommy had been talking more and more. I was so glad to have him back. It feels like everything in my life is piecing itself back together. Tommy made me smile. He was always one of those guys to ask if your ok when you're smiling. We supported each other, always there for one and other. I had made a promise to myself that if he went down then we'd go down together. Starting with today.

I was anxious for Tommy about the backlash and aftermath from fridays events when the stupid teacher played his video. I knew I couldn't go to the head teacher about it as Tommy would actually kill me.

"It's fine I promise" Tommy looked down at me and came to a stop when we reached school, knowing we never really hung out together at school other than in classes. I always felt bad for this, but it's how my life seemed to fall. It was out of my control.

"Let me know if any fucker starts I swear I will boot them the distance of 12 football fields and fucking-"

"y/n. Stop it's okay, chill." he said gripping onto my shoulders to grab my attention. "I'll see you later" and walked away before I even got to say anything else. He seemed upset and afraid, I knew this but I also knew that Tommy was trying to be strong in-front of me in attempt to get his act together. The more I thought about it the more I wanted to internally smash my head against the walls of this school.

I smoothly followed Tommy into the halls just in case anything were to happen, not like I could do anything about it. My grades where ok but my behaviour that was the school's problem. I was on very thin ice one wrong move and I'd be gone for good. Sure I jumped the fence and left school last time I was there but you only get 'behaviour points' if you got caught abbey luckily for me in this case I didn't. However, I think getting into a fight would be very hard to get away with.

The whole corridor had fallen silent as tommy started to walk down it, everyone from their lockers watching him do the walk of shame to his class, closely followed by whispering in friend groups.

Stay calm.

I followed behind from afar making everyone turn back to their normal volume conversations.

I reached the end of the corridor to be attacked by my friends, loosing sight of Tommy.

"OW" I said as Tamsin jumped on my bad in surprise nocking my balance. She giggled at my sudden pain caused by her, but knowing I was ok as I steadied myself.

"ello stalker" Polly said leaning against her locker with her arms crossed and a smirk creeping on her face

"what do you mean stalker?" I asked laughing lightly

"following Tommy I see" tamsin said jumping off my back and leaning on her locker that was next to mine and pollys

"We are.."

"what?" they said in unison with wide eyes and smiles

"Ugh I don't know. Friends? I guess" throwing my hands up in frustration in my brain and slammed open my locker grabbing my text books. Are we back to being friends? or just strangers that seem to talk every now and again?

"And how's kyle?"

"He's uhm- good I guess" not wanting to really tell the girls about what happened as I wasn't in the mood. I slammed the locker door, books in hand, and speed walking it to class.

"OOOO SOMEONES IN LOVE" my two very annoying best friends shouted behind me. please I was very far from being in love with kyle. He slightly made my blood boil. I know I know. I'm trying to think more positive about kyle. I'm really trying to but something about him seems off but I guess I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. That was our first time hanging out together outside of school, maybe we were just both nervous hence the awkward tension.
