Him~ a Tyler Galpin story

Weirdo

So, here we are again. Once again i am in class, absolutely bored out of my mind because once again I know this subject.I am itching my new cuts. But finally in the middle of class, the principal bursts in.
"Everyone please head to their dorms this instant. Theirs been an accident in the woods with one of our students." She says. I sigh and for once so as I'm told, if only for a little bit.
I enter my dorm and sit on the bed, utterly,benevolentely bored. I grab my phone and enter a number. I look down at it again, and decide to text him.
Me:hi
Tyler: hey, who is this?
Me:its Trixie
Tyler:oh hey shadow. Have you heard?
Me: about the body in the woods? Yes.
Tyler: my dad says its around a day old.
Me:okay? Cool ig. Wyd?
Tyler: sitting in my room bc my dad told me to stay at home for the rest of the week 🙄
Me: ah. I am stuck in my dorm.
Tyler:wanna stop by?we could chill at my house.
Me:sure. Be there asap.
Tyler: sys.
I click off my phone and stand up. I open the window and jump out landing on the ground.
I walk through the gates and  through the woods. I am not afraid of the monster, I truly believe it means me no harm.
I see his house, and walk up. I decide to play it bold, and knock on the door. A familiar face opens it.
"Hey, glad you made it. Come on in."
I enter and give him a half smile.
"Wheres your dad?" I ask, noticing that his father is the only one missing here.
"Out investigating. My sister is home too, though." He says casting a glance to the living room. I truly never got why the called it that. Like, is their a dead room in the house too?
"Ah. What  do you want to do?" I ask looking around.
"Play a game?" His answer comes put as more of a question. I nod and follow him into the living room.
"You ever played monopoly?" He asks holding out an unfamiliar game.
"No."I answer.
"Oh, hi Trixie, didn't know you were stopping by. Would've expected your school to be on lockdown at this time." Valera says
"They are. Fortunately I am not with them." I say sitting across from Tyler. Valera decides to be both banker and the third player. Halfway through the game it is clear I am dominating it.
"That would be $125." I hold out my hand, waiting for payroll from Tyler.
"Can't, I'm out of money." He says sadly.
Soon the game is over, I won obviously. So now we're just talking. For some reason I can't fathom, Valera is glaring at me.
Tyler sees this and pulls her aside. I hear parts of a whispered argument, but I'm more focused on my now bleeding arm. I picked at one of my fresh cuts, and it is now oozing blood. I step past them and to the bathroom. I wrap some toilet paper around it and axit the room.
I am pleased to see that when I return they are both sitting there, not arguing.
"So. " I say sitting beside Tyler on the couch.
"So?"
"Is there anything else to do around here? I mean besides monopoly?" I ask, flipping the paper so it absorbs the blood better.
"Eh, not really. Thats why I invited you over. Thought you might know of something to do." He says.
"Well I do know a game. But really, it's quite scary." I say.
"Spill." Says Valera in a bored voice.
"Well, we take turns telling scary stuff that has happened to us. Or I can show you by the shadows." I say.
"See, I'll start." I shift the shadows in the room. I make them form the monster I saw in the woods. Tyler's face pales as he looks at it.
"Yesterday I was in the woods, I ran into this monster. I don't believe he's bad though. Just slightly abnormal."  I say. I wave my hand and the shadows return to their normal positions in the room.
"Well, one time I saw someone getting mugged, and the dude mugging them saw me and chased me." Valera  says.
"I woke up in the middle of the woods one time. Still don't know how I got their." Tyler says. I look at him and give him a tight lipped smile.
The silence in the room is diminished by my stomach letting out a loud grumble. I sigh. How embarrassing.
"Well you know, it is dinner time." I say in defense to their odd looks.
"True. How bout we have breakfast for dinner?" Tyler asks.
"As long as you make those yummy eggs." I say smilling.
"I will. Still won't tell you how I make them though." Tyler says with a laugh as he stands.
"I might just look into your mind and see then." I giggle and stand.
"How do you know about the eggs? Have you came here before?" Valera asks with a grim face.
"Yes, why?" I answer.
"Iust- never mind." She huffs and walks away.
I sprawl back out on the couch and close my eyes.
"I'll wake you when the food is done." Tyler says softly as he walks out of the room.
I nod and close my eyes. Only too soon, my brain is filled with bad memories of men beating me up. I awake with a start. My hair is plastered to my forehead, and a cold sweat coats it.
I turn when I hear someone behind me.
"You okay?" Tyler asks, a soft questioning look on his face.
"No-yes. Just bad dreams. Thats why I don't sleep." I say standing up.
"Oh. What you said earlier about the monster. Not being afraid of it. Why?"
"I felt as if I knew it. The way it looked at me, I knew it meant no harm..  It almost looked human. " say sitting at the table.
Tyler gives me a plate full of food and sits across from me.
"Your sister?" I ask with a quicker eyebrow .
"Shell come down when she wants." He says. I shrug and dig in. To my sadness I cant even finish my whole serving. I stand and help Tyler clean the kitchen. He is drying the dishes while I wash them.
"You know," he says grinning at me. " you look funny with the pink gloves on."
I glare and throw some of the bubbles at him. He looks appaled. Well, till he throws some back at me. Soon were covered in soap. I grab the last bit of bubbles and rub it in his hair. I giggle at the look on his face.
It's only when I stop, that I notice how close we are. Close enough to be kissing. I blush and turn away,  going back to washing the dishes.
Do I like him? I cant. Last time I liked someone it didn't end well. I would hate to mess up this amazing friendship. If I said I liked him,  wich is a small possibility, and he didn't like me, I would make everything awkward.
We finish the dishes and I head to the door.
"I best be getting back." I say, going to pull on his old jacket.
"Why don't you stay here? Its dark out and there's a bear and monster on the loose." He says stopping me.
"I don't want to bother you though." I say.
"You won't. Father won't notice you, if thats what yohr worries about." He says taking the coat from my hands.
"Fine." I say.
We both sit on the big couch, and decide to watch a movie called legally blond. I dislike it, and I glare at Tyler, knowing he picked this out on purpose.
Soon my eyes grown heavy. I snugle up to something warm,before letting the darkness I call sleep take me.
