After going on holiday with his parents, it's time to go back to school. On one hand, it is good that he is going back to school, he will see his friend and learn some things that he is interested in like, Biology, English, Math, and one of his favourite pastime activities, analyzing people. He loves seeing how the teachers act and how those "lovey-dovey" couples do their thing, or how the janitor reacts to another "spill" in the janitor's room caused by students, or how some students and teachers would do anything to piss each other off. And of course, the reason he hates it, is that he will see Adrien.
Adrien is, in Taylor's point of view, a menace, a disturbance, and just a mentally exhausting presence of a human being. The only good thing that he can remember about Adrien was that time when he needed some help with understanding the school's football field. That time Adrien was somehow suspiciously there, while the other jocks were supposed to be out of school already. Taylor purposely picked after school hours to measure the field just to not be bothered by all those jocks and how annoying they can be sometimes, and unfortunately also kind of, fortunately, Adrien was there to help him.
While being helped by Adrien, Taylor got the sense that excluding the "cold and mean" aura of Adrien, he was kind of caring. He helped Taylor precisely. He explained everything and how to understand the distance in an easy way and that it felt like for a second there Adrien cared about Taylor, but then again he knew that its probably because he is lonely and the only love he has, excluding his parents's, is self love. But then again, after helping Taylor, Adrien would tease or pick on him, it is like as if one good action towards Taylor from Adrien would result in teases and being called names. But he is trying not to think about it because it is not tomorrow but in a couple days.
After the not so waited day came by, it is time for him to go to school. He was awoken by a slap from the sun and a "excited but want to kind of not exist" type of feeling, a feeling he would call "familiar". He got ready and headed to the bus stop down his house, while waiting for the bus, a familiar scent came around, something like Dior Sauvage but not too strong, before he even could turn back, someone softly pad his head, it was Adrien. Now the weird thing here is that, Adrien came for a family line of an extraordinary amount of wealth from his ancestors, and it is a well known thing that he has drivers ready to escort him wherever and pick him later on, yeah drivers. And that time a word got out about him having "a really expensive car" for his seventeenth birthday, and people have seen him in parties using that car, Taylor knows about all of this, obviously. But it still doesn't click in his head, why would this rich kid travel kilometers away from his house, which approximately took fourty five minutes to a bus stop, when it could have taken him only thirty minutes from his house to school.
He knows who that person is, it is Adrien. While softly padding Taylor's head, Adrien said with a cute teasing tone "Hey short short, how was your week ?". And compared to Adrien, Taylor is short. Adrien is approximately 6'4 and Taylor is 5'11, so yeah he is short in comparison. "Good" he replied, barely any tone in that, and then ten minutes of akward silence, and then he asked again, "Did you miss me" with a cheeky smile on his face, Taylor wanted to slam that expression with his bag but he is trying to be the bigger person here, so he gave Adrien a "bruh what ?" expression with a three steps away from Adrien, he gave Adrien the silent treatment till they bus arrived and they both got in and arrived at school.
After finishing his first class, there was a fifteen minute break, and he just headed outside to clear his head, and sadly Katherine, one of the previous crushes of Taylor turned best friend didn't come because she was just not exhausted from her trip. Kat lives with her parents and she is an only child, just like Taylor. So her family, both of her dads, and their cat, Aflo went on a trip to a beach resort for the whole two weeks of holiday, getting tanned and absorbing that good nutrients from the sun, and they have just gotten home literally yesterday. She texted him when he was on the bus "Hiii im not going😌✌️" and saying "im so so so sooo tired from the past two weeks and i cannot be bothered to hear about some human organ explanation or angles or a house😎" and he replied "bruh okk then, but you are good rightt ?" she texted back "🙁" "jk all good🥳". So he spent his time sitting outside listening to music, and one of his classmates told him that someone is waiting for him in the library.
