Tom knocked on the bathroom stall door. Edd was crying beyond the door which made Tom a bit uncomfortable but he knocked once more. "Hey Edd, the bell has already rung man. We have to start walking home if we wanna make it in time." Edd's sobbing quieted down but didn't stop. "Edd! We need to go! They are going to be locking up the school soon." Tom was getting a bit more agitated as the minutes went by but soon Edds whimpering was starting to get to him. "Edd im going to leave without you!" was Toms last ditch attempt to get Edd to stop crying but he didn't. Tom furrowed his eyebrows as the sobs wrung throughout the empty bathroom.
"Edd can you open the door?" Tom hear something shuffle and fall on the floor. He waited a minute or two but nothing happened so asked again "Edd? Can you tell me why your crying?" Tom waited a bit, not expecting a response but to his surprise a "Tord" came from inside the stall. Tom knew he was going to be here for awhile based off that response but he accepted it and wasn't as annoyed as before. Now he just wants to help Edd feel better.
Tom muttered an "of course" under his breath then inquired about what the school bully did to Edd. "He um.." Edd was starting to breathe normally again and he was crying a bit less "He shoved me down and took my sketchbook to show everybody." Tom wondered why it was that bad but then he remembered Edd draws a lot of personal things and puts the in his sketchbook. Even Tom, who is his best friend, isn't allowed to look at all the contents of the pages. For Edd it must've been like showing everyone your personal issues and ideas. "Well if it makes you better I didn't see any of it."
"Yeah thats good. Oh god but so many people did Tom. you don't get it, almost the entire highschool Tom!" Tom leaned on the door and let Edd see his shadow. "It can't be as awful as your making it out to be. I would've heard if anyone was gossiping or whatever about it ok? So trust me, nobody cared." Edd let out a shaky sigh and Tom felt his back hit the cold tile flooring. He blinked a few times only to see Edd staring down at him with red eyes and a solemn expression. "Yeah but what if they kept it from you."
"Thats stupid. I hear all of the drama in this school, whether I want to or not. Most of time I don't want to." Edd straightened his mouth and looked to the side. "You're my friend." Tom finally sat up and faced Edd. "Even that wouldn't stop all the girls that love to run their mouth no matter whos in the room." Edd sniffed a bit and looked back at Tom, staring straight into Toms soul with those loving, brown eyes. It caught Tom off guard but he couldn't complain for once in his life. He felt his face heat up slightly but luckily Edd started getting up off the floor.
Edd Swooped his bookbag from beside the toilet and offered Tom his hand. Tom took it and got up himself. "Thanks Tom! You're the best." Tom smiled back and grabbed his bag before Edd could notice how pink his face was.
They walked out of the restroom and made their way towards the main entrance. "Oh my god Tom! This place is so empty!" Edd completely did a 180 with his mood and started to giggle. "Yeah dumbass, i told you everybody left like an hour ago." Tom playfully hit Edd's shoulder which got another quiet laugh out of the green hoodie wearing boy. "You were being so over dramatic! They don't lock the school until later!" Tom rolled his 'eyes' "I just wanted to get you outta that stall and to walk home." Edd smiled as they walked out of the vacant lunch room and out the door.
Their walk home was mainly uneventful and was just filled with banter between the two. Tom eventually made his stop and left Edd to walk down the road to his own home. He stepped inside his home and went towards the kitchen. Tom popped a waffle into the toasted and leaned towards the counter. He lived with his mom and she doesn't get home til later in the night. While waiting he pulled out his shitty samsung flip phone which was quite popular at the time. He ran though his messages and saw one from 2 days ago which he though was spam but looking at the first few words obviously it wasn't.
There were 13 photos attached to the words 'Edds sketchbook!'. God damn it. Tord really took his time searching up everyone's phone number in the school then adding them all in a huge group just to poke fun at Edd. Despite having a strong moral distaste for Tord he looked through the pictures. Tom knew Tord only took the ones that could get people talking, thus why there weren't many shared. The first few were just naked men and women, with the word anatomy scribbled next to them. Tom was on the 5th photo when he saw it. A drawing of him and Edd kissing. I mean Tord successfully stirred the post so he did what he set out to do. Tom just sat there on that one drawing for a while before the toaster notified him that his waffle was done.
He grabbed the waffle from out the toaster while running upstairs, scrolling through all the photos. They where all other things that Tom didn't care about to much, All he found himself caring about was the 5th photo. He jumped on his bed, feeling his heart race as it all clicked together. He pulled out his flip phone once more and texted Edd a simple "So i saw the photo that u drew of us." he slammed his phone shut and buried his face in his soft comforter, waiting for Edds reply.
