Tom & Bill stories

Best Frenemies || Part 1 : { Tom }

{ Sorry for not writing much atm! I only really write these when I come up with good ideas. Also, I realise most of my stories keep switching from 1st - 3rd person, so please excuse that! I just can't help it😭 }

story begins :
It's the first day of school after 2 weeks off, spring break. I can hear my alarm blaring out but I'm struggling to wake myself up. I'm sprawled out in bed, rubbing my eyes as I'm thinking. Shit! School! I fly upright, eyes wide as I realise I'm gonna be late. I jump out of bed and fling open my wardrobe. There's practically nothing! I think to myself, chewing on my nails anxiously. I pull open my drawers, and pull out black leggings and a black tank top. Super simple, but it'll work.

8:12 am
As I've just finished off brushing my teeth, I go to put some mascara and highlighter on. Like I normally do, no biggie. I pout in the mirror as I put a tiny bit of lipgloss on. I look good! I smirk, and run downstairs to grab my bag. I spray a dash of my signature perfume, now I smell like fresh lilies. I dash out the door after getting everything sorted.

8:24 am
After sprinting the whole way, I finally make it into the building. Where's Lia? I ponder. She's my best friend, and I really need to see her today about our project. My eyes scan the hallways as I'm leant against my locker. She's walking this way, there she is! I run up to her, hugging her enthusiastically which she reciprocates. "Hey girl!" She says, smiling at me. While we're walking to our form room, we're talking in hushed voices.

"What are you gonna do if he's in your classes?!" I sigh. "I don't know." Lia's just told me that some people have swapped sets. Great. Now the most annoying, aggravating, weird, human being could be in all my classes. We're on about Tom, of course. But I adore Bill. He's one of my good mates.

8:30 am
We make it to our form room, and I walk up to my seat. I see Lia across the room, looking at me worriedly as the teacher begins to speak after doing the register. "Since some people have moved sets, we have some new people coming into your classes. This will also include them in your form." I facepalm. Please, just not Tom. Lia giggles behind her hand as she sees my reaction. Suddenly, all eyes are on 2 boys walking into the room. I squint slightly, as I'm at the back so I can't see very good. I see, Bill and ... Tom. No! Oh my god. They stand there slightly awkwardly.

I glance up and see Tom staring right at me. If I don't get to school early, he's always doing something annoying to me, so I learnt to avoid him. He winks, and I fake gag back. "Okay so, Bill, there is a seat next to Lia. And Tom, there's one next to Y/n." The teacher says while putting her hand up, dismissing my huff of annoyance. Lia smiles at Bill, and I feel like she may have a little crush. She then looks at me, and does the priest thing. Like - the father, the son, the Holy Spirit, with her hands, right as Tom walks down the room to me, at the back. I laugh at her antics, when suddenly he speaks to me.

8:35 am
"I knew you'd save me a seat!" I eye roll. He gets in beside me and immediately starts picking at me. "You smell nice today! What'd you wash with? Canned sardines?" I did a full turn to the side, facing him directly. I heard a few others gasp from his comment. It was funny, but it's the thought behind it that pissed me off. "What'd you do with your face? Did a truck hit you or what?" I say back, while smiling pointedly at him. He claps his hands, almost amused. I laugh, unable to keep a straight face. He laughs with me, surprisingly.

8:40 am
As the form bell goes, I dash up and head straight out the room. I feel like Tom's looking at me, but I just ignore it. As I'm about to step out of the room, Lia catches up to me after ditching Bill. "He was staring at you, you know!" She nudges me in my side, making me giggle. "Totallyyyyyy." I say sarcastically. We walk together, chatting as we normally do.

As we make it to class, we stand in the door frame, shocked. "Nah! Not again!" I say, pretending to fall to the ground dramatically, as our science teacher holds a new seating plan in her hands. Tom laughs, and then Bill joins in. Lia smirks, and I know she's holding in her laugh. Mrs. J looks unimpressed, as she raises an eyebrow at me. "For that, first row at the front. And Tom, right behind her." Lia breaks out laughing, her hands wrapped around her sides. Then I actually fall to the ground, wiping a fake tear. Tom laughs as he makes his way behind me, and I stand up and walk over to my seat.

When everyone finally gets their seats, Mrs. J gives us each a piece of paper. She wants us to introduce ourself to the new people in our class, Tom and Bill. Just then, I feel someone against my ear. "You should get on your knees again sometime." I could practically hear the smirk in his voice. I knew it was Tom. I spun around to find him back in his seat, acting all innocent. I turned back around. I couldn't help but feel butterflies in my stomach..
