u can't touch this

- ☆

i was awoken by the sound of 'break stuff' coming from my phone. someone was calling me.

'hello?' i answered, voice raspy from sleepiness.

'open your door i'm here' i immediately recognized the voice on the other end.

it was emma. she's been my best friend ever since middle school. we have made a habit of going to school together. 'you will NOT believe who i'm talking you', she didn't even wait to get inside. i gave her the 'not again' look. 'HEAR ME OUT it's different this time! he's actually so sweet and...and he's coming to pick us up', she smiled, glaring down at her phone.

i stopped in my tracks and turned to her, 'i'm not getting in some stranger's car emma', and then went back to my search for clothes. 'well...he's... not a stranger', her words laid in the air for a while. emma has a talent for picking jerks. i tried to think of someone, but my brain was too slow for this. 'who?' i asked coldly. 'i'll leave it be a surprise', i could tell by her voice that something was off. considering i didn't like any of her exs, maybe she was just worried for my reaction.

i was tying my shoelaces when i heard a knock on the door. i saw emma tense up. 'this romeo?', i smirked at her and went to open the door, but what was revealed made my words get caught up in my throat. '...bill?' i asked, shocked. now it made sense why she didn't want to tell me.

bill used to go to middle school with us, along with his brother, but they both moved away after the first year of high school because their band - called tokio hotel - had become famous. the three of us were best friends before he left. we haven't seen each other in two years. emma went over to hug him but i was too starstruck to move. i couldn't believe my eyes. 'you've changed so much y/n!' bill's words snapped me out of it. i smiled and hugged him as well. it felt surreal to have him in front of me again, and even though i was happy, i couldn't let go of the fact that he had slowly distanced himself from us in the midst of his fame. it was as if we completely vanished from his life - calls got fewer and fewer, texts were more and more dry, until we eventually lost all contact.

we got in the car and the two in front of me started talking about all sorts of things, stealing glances at me from time to time. 'is your brother back in town too?' i finally popped the question that was holding up the tension. i could tell by emma's face that i was not going to like the answer to that. 'yeah... but i haven't seen him since we got here two days ago', bill said hesitantly, 'we're moving back for good tho'. for good. i was already planning on how to avoid his brother. 'hold on, two DAYS ago?', i felt anger sparking through me, 'you've known this for two days and you haven't thought to warn me, emma? what if i had bumped into him on the street or something??' paranoia started to build within me, 'but you didn't. y/n, you can't just expect to never see him again. you'll be fine', she attempted reassuring me but we both knew it wasn't that easy. i brushed it off and enjoyed the rest of the car ride in silence.

we got to school pretty fast. i was too zoned out in my thoughts to realize time passing. i could hear bill and emma discuss all sorts of things but nothing recorded into my brain. i did my usual monday routine - went to my locker, picked up my english book, then headed to class. emma had math first class and i noticed bill glued by her side so i just left. i turned on my headphones and played mc hammer's 'u can't touch this' as i walked through the hallway. i reached the classroom but there were a bunch of girls swarming around the door, blocking my way. just what i needed. i tried to push past them hearing them moan in frustration before shouting 'piss off' to get them to actually leave. i heard a muffled low 'thanks' behind me but i didn't bother to look back. i sat down, annoyed. 'good morning to you too, grumpy!' mr. langdon said to me, already familiar with my forever-angry monday face. the door opened short after and the teacher introduced a 'new classmate', whom i was too unbothered to see. i was enjoying my lecture of camus' 'the stranger' too much to pay attention. he sat down behind me and mr. langdon started calling on attendance. i heard my name being called and i answered with a distracted tone, but then i felt a kick in my chair. 'what the fuck-' i turned around and to my surprise, met eyes with the one and only - tom kaulitz. he had changed quite a lot, but i could easily recognise him, even in a sea of faces.
