Even though you kind of had a suspicion that they were friends. It was a joke that Nate had invited this guy over, they'd only known eachover for a day!?

Not even realising that you were rooted to the spot, you say "What!? Why are you here!?"

Tom looks to you, then Nate, then back at you. His face is a mixture of shock and a smile. "Yoo is that your girlfriend Nate? that's so weird- we sit next to eachover in science"

Both you and Nate look to Tom disgustingly. People often thought you and Nate went out. You didn't really look similar and he was only a couple years older.

"NO NO" you both shout in harmony. "I'm her brother man!!!" Nate says.

"My bad" Tom uttered sarcastically. "you literally look nothing alike."

It was kind of true. Nate had dirty blonde hair and tanned skin with blue eyes. he was a very big guy- literally. You'd always bullied him for his fat head.

Whilst you were paler than him, with deep brown eyes and dark brown hair. He was at least 10 inches taller than you.

"Anyway.." Tom continued. Causing You to realise how long you'd been standing there in awe. "Nate was just borrowing me a lighter"

After Nate and Tom had made fun of you, Nate had also told Tom about your friendship with Bill.

Now back in her room. you plug in your earphones once again. climbing onto your window ledge with the can in one hand, you prop yourself up and jump onto the ledge, sipping the beer and staring out into the night.

After around halve an hour, you'd noticed Tom, only just leaving your house. Legs dangling out over the window, hoping he doesn't see you, you watch him walk back into his own house and close the door.

"just borrowing a lighter" you mutter to yourself, mocking him.

The night had come and gone. It was finally Friday.

You lie in bed. Thinking about how much had happened in the space of one day. You'd met those twins, become friends with Bill and seen Tom in your living room. They were also living next door.

at around 7:30 you'd finally gotten up. Throwing whatever on you got ready for the day. Really not bothered.

deciding you weren't in the mood for breakfast you head downstairs waiting for Nate

deciding you weren't in the mood for breakfast you head downstairs waiting for Nate. who arrived rubbing his eyes and yawning.

Although he'd gotten dressed he still had bed hair. You ruffle it and laugh "your 17 and you still can't remember to do your hair?!"

Wafting away your hand and fixing his hair in the mirror Nate grunted "And your 15 drinking Mums beer" Hearing that you stop and turn to him, noticing his playfull smirk.

"Asshole. Actually didn't you give our 15 year old neighbour a lighter?" you smile crossing your arms.

He turns around and grabs his back pack. which was always empty. "Nah actually Toms 16. Apparently there in some big band and missed a year of school because they were on tour, that's why he's in your class"

sure.. nate was always lying to win discussions.

You and Nate head to school. Today is kind of cold, but hints of spring sneak through in the form of yellow beams

You see Your friend group by the school gates. Maria, Anna, Yvette, Leon, Lina and Emma.

You and maria were kind of just a duo though. You both secretly hated Lina. So kind of distanced yourselves.

The two of you dragged behind the group as you all headed to class.

Before you reached maths- however, you were stopped by Bill, who aproacched you with a big smile.
