In The Middle of Everything

Chapter 13 pt. 1: A secret lab

Tom's POV

"Good luck on your first day!" Edd waved [Y/N] goodbye as she went out. We all watched her as Edd slowly closed the door.

"So, what now?" Edd turned to us with a puzzled face.

"I think we all know what you will be doing today, Edd." I gave him a furious glare. Although the answer was pretty obvious, no one else in the room seemed to realise it. (Idiots.)

"The animation!" I pointed out and Edd finally realised and went from making a surprised face to smiling awkwardly because of the fact that he was a moron.

"Right. Well, I'll be of to work, too." Edd said as he walked into his room, shutting the door behind him. It was only Matt and I now.... great.

"So, what now?" Matt asked the same question, looking at me with wonder in his big eyes.

"I dunno. I guess I'll go get drunk or somethin'." I shrugged and walked away from the annoying one to my room. Unfortunately, he started following me at the same pace, still with that look on his face. When I got in front of my door, Matt was still there, breathing down my neck. I opened the door and turn around to face him one last time.

"Alright, you can go now." I shooed Matt away and slammed the door. (Finally, I'm all alone.) I thought as I happily crashed into my bed face first. I was about to get up and get my bottle of special Smirnoff in the closet, but I noticed that someone was standing right above the bed.

"Ugh... Matt, what do you want?" I buried my annoyed face into the pillow. I wasn't getting an answer so I turned to see what was happening. Matt was just blankly staring at me. I couldn't tell if he was just processing the question or if he was possessed.

"Go bother Edd." I again buried my face into the pillow, even more annoyed this time.

"Hey, what's this?" Matt suddenly exclaimed, probably pointing to something he should not touch. "Nothing." I didn't even bother to get up from the pillow. Matt wasn't worth wasting the energy over, after all.

When I heard him moving around though, I quickly got up to monitor every single movement. I can't have him running around and breaking my stuff all over the place.

"Oh, look! It's Tomee Bear!" Matt grabbed Tomee and brought him right in front of me. I was starting to feel a bit embarrassed, but then I remembered I was talking to Matt.

"You still have him? Aww, does the little Tom want his toy back?~" Matt started teasing me like an asshole, not even considering the fact that he himself had a toy collection.

"Gimme that!" I quickly snached Tomee Bear from Matt's hands and started dusting him off. "Can you leave no-" Before I was even done with the sentence, I noticed that Matt had lost interest and started looking elsewhere around my room. I just facepalmed until I heard Matt touching Susan, specifically her strings. I quickly dashed to him, grabbed his arm and squeezed it as tight as posibble.

"What do you think you're doing?!" I fumed with anger, squeezing Matt's arm even more. (I am not going to let anyone break Susan ever again!)

"Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" Matt was squeaking like a mouse in a trap, trying to pry open my hand and stop it from crushing his. I let the arm go and Matt quickly retrieved it to its owner. He even started petting it.

"Why do you have to be so mean all the time?" Matt turned to me with an angry look, but then he started staring behind me.

"What?" I asked confused and turned around to see what he was looking at. There was nothing but a...

"Why do you have a picture of Tord in your room?" Matt walked up to the picture he was referring to, examining it from top to bottom.

"I don't know... I guess I was too lazy to take it down when I moved here." I scratched my head in confusion. "But the picture does tell the truth. Tord does smell." I pointed it out and chuckled a bit.
