Matt's POV: 

When our lunch period was finished I was dreading for P.E class. I have a little bit of knowledge about sports but I don't think I can be close to labeling myself as a 'professional.' 

"Don't worry Matt, you'll be fine. It's a little bit of dodgeball and if you want, you can ask the 'Norway guy' for help" Edd was sincere in the beginning of his sentence but then he just started teasing me. But it was really easy to know Tord was a Norwegian from just the sound of his voice, his accent was a bit thick anytime he spoke and it gave off a Norwegian vibe you know? Or it's probably just me and my nerdy knowledge of knowing the differences between some accents.

If he's Norwegian then that means he can speak the language, right? That's really cool if I'm being honest. I've always wanted to learn different languages but with the moving and new schools I haven't been able to pick up on my language studying.

"Did you know he was Norwegian?" I asked Edd.

"Kinda, Tom told me he was a foreigner but I didn't know where he was from" Explained Edd as he walked over to the door leading to the gym.

"You talked to Tom?" I questioned and Edd nodded.

"I knew him since middle school, but we aren't friends, I just talk to him every once in a while" Edd said as we both walked into the gym. I was really close to asking Edd if he liked Tom but I kept quiet. Some students were in the gym already, including Tom, Tord, Kim, Katya, Eduardo, Jon, Mark and some other students that I've never talked to in my life.

"Eduardo and Mark are here.." I sighed frustratingly as Edd frowned. Eduardo and Mark aren't the best people to hang around, they're both equally mean in there own ways. Makes sense on why they're even friends to begin with. Jon isn't so bad, anytime his other friends mess up he trys to apologize for it, even though he doesn't really make fun of Edd, there are times when he can't stick up for Edd.

"P.E is going to be much harder with them around, be careful. They know your my friend so they might do something fishy to you, okay?" Edd said with a worried look upon his face. I gave a warming smile in reply.

"Don't worry about me Ed, I'll be fine!" I said as I put my thumbs up and smiled brightly. Edd smiled back and nodded. 

"Okay students listen up! Today we'll be playing dodgeball and I'll be splitting you up into two groups!" The gym teacher said excitedly, but really, nothing was exciting about dodgeball.

Basically, dodgeball is a death sentence if your asking for one for free. 

Luckily, I had Edd on my team and the so-called "best team player ever," Tord, was on my team along with Tom, Kim, Katya and some other students. On the other side of the gym, team Eduardo, Mark, Jon and a bunch of other students were warming up. What was this? The army or something?

I looked over at Tord and he seemed calm and relaxed while I was panicking over here. All I knew about this game was that both teams had to throw balls at each other so you could disqualify them off the opposite team. Was that the rules? Ugh. Why didn't the teacher explain it in case someone didn't know on what exactly to do?

"Are you losers ready to LOSE?" Eduardo snickered in disrespect. 

"Aren't you getting a little to bold here? I've won against you numerous amount of times and I can do it again." Tord stated and Edurado gritted his teeth in anger. I couldn't help but smile because Tord gave me a little more confidence by saying such a thing to Eduardo. 

As the teacher started the game, balls went flying everywhere and students were desperately trying to defeat there opponents. 

I picked up a random ball from the floor and threw it, it ended up hitting a student named Kayla and she had to be taken off of the team.

"Good job" Tord smiled at me and I unintentionally smiled back. 

I wasn't paying attention and soon later there was a ball.

Flying straight towards me.

How did I not notice?

Was it because of Tord's sweet smile?

No, I can't blame it on him..

My eyelids slowly lifted up, blinded by the bright light, it burned my eyes. I tried adjusting to the light and when I did. I quickly sat up in shock, my head was hurting, a lot.

"Are you ok?" A voice asked and I immediately knew who it was. Tord.

Tord and Edd were there. Tord stood up to quickly aid me while Edd came closer to my bed.

"Where am I?.." I asked, rubbing my forehead, trying to ease the pain I was earning.

"Answer my question. Are you alright, Mattrew?" Tord asked, he was more demanding but I could sense he was a bit worried.

"Y-yes.. I'm fine, my head hurts a bit though" I said while I looked at Tord and then at Edd.

"This is the school's infirmary..." Edd trailed off as he looked at me in a worried way.

"Eduardo hit you with the ball, I'm sorry. There is nothing we can do since it was practically part of the game" Edd sighed as Tord gritted his teeth. 

"Eduardo's a jackass, all he can do is wish I don't punch him next period" Tord stated and then he let out a soft sigh.

"Stay out of trouble ginger" Tord smirked and I chuckled.

"Why are you talking to me as if I'm a kid?" I asked and he replied with a soft smile.

"I mean it" He said with a serious glance and I nodded.

"If you want, you can go home or skip next period and stay at the infirmary" Edd suggested while I nodded,

"I'll come to class, I'm feeling a lot better" I said and then looked at Tord. 

"Oh, here" Tord said as he pulled out strawberry milk in his left hand and chocolate milk in his right hand.

"Had no idea which one you'd choose so, I brought both" Tord said as I smiled.

"Thanks Tord... I like strawberry milk actually" I said as I took the strawberry milk.

"You do? Me too!" Tord said as he chuckled, I blushed a bit in reply.

"Look, when you two are done being lovey dovey, can we go to class? I don't want to be late" Edd implied in annoyance as Tord blushed and stood there awkwardly.

"Your just jealous you can't do this with Tom, aren't you?" Tord smirked as he forgot all about the shyness he had seconds ago. 

That was really, really, sweet. 

The way he changes the topic with forgetting about the whole point was... sorta sweet?

I don't know.

"Let's just go to class!" Edd exclaimed as he flushed bright red, half embarrassment and half.. something else? 

Oh ..

He definitely likes Tom.
