After mine and Tommys hangout, I went back to my dorm to waste away the time i had until detention. I got in and closed the door behind myself, then sat down on my bed and laid down.

"Do you- h-have any friends?"

The concept of friends always felt like a distant dream to me. Something i could see yet couldn't quite grasp. I envied those with big or small friend groups, all huddled around in cahoots, talking, messing around, caring for eachother. I've never been a talkative and or easy person to manage. I can't really manage myself. I've always been distant and a bit brain dead, only during my senior years did I start to become a bit of a brute.

I've had a friend before, but, well, it didn't end well. I do know I ended with me being a loner again, but I think i just stopped caring about it. But...it's different now. Tommy's entered my life, in fact he was forcefully shoved into it. He was sour and cold and bitter towards me at start, but he would soften up to me and show me his real self. Now, he's starting to act as a friend. He hangs out with me and talks to me more frequently and doesn't act like he hates me anymore. Well, not as much.

In other stances, I wouldn't pay to much mind to it. But i don't wanna let this go. I will hold onto this thread until it frays, I can't let something this great slip through my fingers. Yeah, I'll be a friend too. I smiled to myself, then dozed off into a nap.

...

I woke up to knocking at my door. My eye lids felt heavy yet as I managed to pull them up to stare at the ceiling. The knocks came again. "Y-Yeah?" I yawned. "[Y/N]! We've got cleanup!" I heard a soft voice outside my door. Tommy. My eyes popped up as i shot up in my bed, I grabbed my phone to check the time, 3:45pm. Shit i overslept, i can't believe i stood up Tommy like that. "[Y/N]??" He called out. "Y-Yeah! Just a sec!" I answered, scrambling off my bed and quickly making myself seem presentable.

I then rushed out the door to be met with Tommy, who was very close to the door as I almost bumped into him. "Sorry hah, I overslept, sorry for leaving you hanging," i chuckled apologetically. "It's alright, but Mr. Watson almost killed me and you since you weren't there!" He remarked as we walked to class CH4. When we'd got there, we began to do as we usually did. I was still shaken up from my sudden wake up call while in a deep nap, I probably slept longer because it was the best sleep I've had in a few weeks. I felt myself dozing off too frequently, Tom had to keep snapping me back into the world.

"[Y/N]! Wake up!" He repeated. "Hah! Wah, sorry," I stood up. "Geez do you even sleep? You always seem so exhausted, plus your eye bags are always really heavy," he stated in worry almost. "Welll, i do stay up late doing school work and then end up handing it in maybe late or half-assed, but the later i stay up the better quality!" I explained. "Why not just do it in the day?" He asked.  "Good question, because my days are very busy, i don't get a lot of time to do work during the day," i answered. "-and i kinda procrastinate sometimes," i added quietly.

"That seems...tiring," he said. "Thats not even all of it Tomsey," i chuckled. We'd continued cleaning, still half-dozing off, still reminding me to wake up. As i wiped the whiteboard, I couldn't help but notice Tommy who was staring at me. I'd look back at him, and he'd turn away red faced. When I'd caught him again, I chuckled to myself. "Take a photo it'll last longer,"

"C-Can I?"

"Pardon ?"

I looked back at him with a confused look on my face yet a grin aswell. "Well- yeah it seems like a weird answer but its- its for my photography class," he explained. I raised an eyebrow at him and smirked. "You wanna take a photo of me for your photography class?" I asked. "Well- yes," he mumbled. "Of course if its too much to ask thats okay!-" "where should i stand?" I asked.

"What?" He questioned. "For the photo, where should i stand?" I repeated. "So that's a yes??" He beamed. "Yes?" I chuckled. "W-Wow! Thankyou- so much!" He chimed. "Uh huh, cough I mean uh, thanks I guess, i appreciate it," he rephrased. "You're doing an adorably bad attempt at trying to hide your excitement," i remarked. "Shut the fuck up," he blushed.

He'd set me against the window, he said some shit about how it would affect the tone and the cinematography but i dont know what the fuck that means and i feel like i should. The sun was shining brightly and shone in my eyes aggressively. "Are you sure this us the best place?" I wondered. "Trust me, I'm definite," he stated. "Plus the light bounces of your skin and- eyes nicely..." he murmured, his cheeks abit pink.

He put the camera around his neck up to his eyes and turned the lense slightly. "Okay, turn your body like 20 degrees to the left," he asked, i did so. "Nice now, turn your head slightly to the right?" He asked again. I did as asked, and he grinned and murmured, "perfect," it made me blush slightly. "Stay still please," he pleaded, as the camera clicked, I've never seen him so focused on something. I did a couple more positions, until he was completely well and satisfied.

"These turned out good!" He chimed, looking through the photos on the camera. "May i see?" I asked. "Yeah sure," he said, moving the camera to my face so i could see. They...looked really good, he was serious about that tone mumbo-jumbo he talked about. "Tom these look astonishing, genuinely!" I cheered. "You think so?" He smiled. "Yeah, I do so," i grinned. We ended up smiling at eachother for longer then we expected, and looked away eventually, he seemed awkward about it nether the less. After our work, we went back to our dorms, and i laid down on my bed, feeling sleep beginning to come over me.

He really has a talent.
