Highschool Sweethates (eng)

no.1 Fake Friend

„Morning, Tord!“
„Oh, good morning, Eddie.. Why so soon?“
„I go by the bus and well busses don't always fit in your schedule perfectly.“
„I get you.“ I smiled as I inhaled smoke in my lungs as I do almost every morning before school. „What about you?“ Eddie asked, awkwardly looking at his shoes. „My mom had to be at work early today. It's fine tho, at least I got to meet you.“ I didn't care whether I meet him or not. I was glad I could have a smoke before school. „That's so sweet of you!“ Eddie smiles and keeps looking at me as I smoke. „Can I have one of those again?“ He asked politely, but unsure. He took out a lighter out of his hoodie pocket and I smiled at him as I took out my box. I just finished my cigarette so I decided to take one more, I covered the cigarette with my hand so wind doesn't blow off my light - which was handed to me by Eddie. Then I handed the lighter back to him, he copied me as much as he could. It was kind of cute. He wanted to give me back the pack with one remaining cigarette when he managed to light his up. „Keep it. I'll go buy myself a new pack after school.“ Eddie nodded and shoved his things into his backpack. „So would you maybe want to go out with us sometime again? Everyone had a really good time.“ Except that idiot Tom. „Uh, sure.“ I smile. „Won't we like.. smell? Won't anyone find out?“
„Nah, don't worry about it I'm a pro.“ Eddie laughs and I smile. „I have deodorant and guns-“
„Guns!?“ Eddie asked, shocked. „Gums! I meant gums.. as in chewing gum?“
„Oh.“
„Shit did I say guns?“ I asked laughing. „Yeah you did.“ Eddie laughed too. „Well we'll be allright, no worries.“

Tom walked in the classroom ten minutes after Matt did, and fifteen before me and Eddie did. „Morning, Tom.“ I smiled as he sat down, headphones plugged in his ears. „Tom?“ I turned around to look at Eddie but he had a conversation with Matt. I bet he didn't even notice Tom. „Hellooo? Earth to Tom?“ I asked again and he didn't answer, again. „Are you ignoring me?“
„Yes.“ He said and I sighed, not trying to have a conversation anymore. As our opening class we had Maths. I never really knew whether I do or don't like maths. I am good at it, but mostly I didn't care. But it impressed me bunch when I saw how good in maths was Tom. He looked even worse than before. Eyebags basically on his cheeks, pale as vampire. Eddie was good too, but he was doing a lot of mistakes. And I guess the only thing Matt could count together are his shopping bags and price he left at the mall. People were sighing when Matt was thinking how much is eleven times twenty. It took him two mistakes a five minutes, three questions, one painfully loud sigh from the teacher and finally a calculator to figure out the goddamn question. By the time he sat down the whole board was covered in chalk and a bell rang as it was recess. English and France were allright but history? Teacher gave us all a test even tho its just second day of the school. I bet the whole class would be screwed if it wasn't an ABC test. I guessed almost every question and handed over the test after fifteen minutes, Tom after twelve. As I was bored, looking around the whole class because of it, I saw Tom writing something. He had his headphones in so I lightly nudged him. He took them off and looked as me. „What is that?“ He rolled his eyes and kept writing. „Are those lyrics?“
„Yes? What do you care?“
„Just asking.. So you write music?“
„Yes.“ Tom said annoyed and I smiled as we finally had a conversation, even if we were just whispering to kill time. „That's so cool!!“
„Whatever.“ He said as he kept writing. „What is it about?“
„About you and how I want you to shut the fuck up.“ Tom said, now almost angry. „Harsh. Am I that much annoying?“
„Yes.“
„Wow you hate me so much.“
„I don't care about you, nor what you think.“
„Maybe you should because you're gonna lose your friends real fast.“
„Not your friend.“
„Yeah but them.“ I pointed at Edd and Matt. „They adore me, so you better play nicey nicey with them before I replace yo-“
„Yeah yeah how about you shut the fuck up!“ I smirked as his whispers were getting louder.
„We both know you're a loser. They will realize it too. Soon.“
„I thought I told you to shut up!“ Tom said even louder and the teacher looked at him angrily. He put on his headphones back and kept writing. I didn't want to act like an idiot, but even bigger idiot was needed to be put down. I despises him and wanted to be an idiot to him while playing nice with Edd and Matt. I wanted him out. I just didn't like him. Like he didn't like me too.

„The fuck is this?“ I looked at Eddies, Matts and Toms plates. Food looked horrible. „Torture, honey, just pure torture.“ said Matt without getting off his phone. His food was untouched. „Lucky I decided to skip lunch today.“ I said as I sat down next to Edd. Tom looked at me like he wanted to kill me. „You don't like the food? Go home. School is over today anyway.“ Tom said and I smiled. „No, I don't like the food, Tom. But like honestly you must be insane if I leave you guys all alone with this horrible pile of sadness. I'mma take you out on lunch. Pizza Hut? Cola as drinks?“
„Oh my god, yes I love cola!“ Eddie said happily and I smiled. „Sure, anything is better than this.. not that you would be bad-“ Matt said as he stood up. „You coming?“ I asked and he looked at all of us already up and ready to leave. „Sure, Tord... why not.“ Tom said and gave me a fake smile. Guess he took my words to heart. „Love your look today by the way. Black nail polish suits you really well.“
„Thanks..“ Tom said and I smirked to myself as I knew he was just playing nicey nice with Eddie and Matt. Just as I told him. „Oh my god he's so right! I'm always telling you that!“ Eddie said and I saw how Tom smiled just a little. We were out and chatting all. It was nice, even more when Tom finally stopped acting like a child. „Yeah, I'm working on something new now.. the base riff is really good.“ Tom was answering Edd and Matt, they had a conversation about his music. „You play base?“
„Yup..“
„I play guitar! We should do music together!“ I said and Tom sighed to himself as he agreed to what I just said. „Oh my god a guitar!? That's so cool!“ Eddie said to me all happy to hear that. „You think?“
„Are you kidding? That's like the coolest thing on the earth!“ I laughed on Edd as Tom roled his eyes and Matt just listened to us, quietly, not bothering to join in. „I think it's even cooler how you can draw so well. I saw your works in the halls. They're magnificent.“
„Aww, Tord!“ Edd said happy. „That's just so sweet! You're a sweet sweet person!“ Eddie said and I smiled as he did. I opened the door for everyone when we got to the mentioned popular fastfood restaurant. „So, pizza?“
„Maybe a slice.“ Matt smiled and Tom laughed. We all turned around to look at what he's laughing about. „I mean come on Matt, worried you're gonna get fat?“ We all looked at Matt, who clearly looked uncomfortable.
„On a second thought maybe I'll just have some light salad.“
„Tom!“ Edd was furious. I wondered what was wrong. Does Matt have an eating disorder? „Matt, you can have a slice. It's honestly nothing, I don't mind sharing I get full from two slices anyway.“ I said to calm everyone down and he gave me a fake smile with a nod. „Edd, Tom you guys prefer any flavors?“
„Just surprise us with anything I gue-“
„Yeah! We'll find seats while we wait!“ Eddie said, agreeing with Tom. I ordered one low calorie Margherita and two pepperoni and bacon pizzas. Three colas and one diet. I found Edd, Matt and Tom already holding bottles of cola. „One for you, you and you.. diet for me.“ I said with a smile. „You don't drink normal cola?“ Matt asked me. „I just like the diet taste more.“
„Oh, me too!“ I switched my and Matts drink with a smile. „You have it then, I don't mind.“
„Oh but-“
„Honestly. I invited you so you guys are the ones that must feel the best.“
„Should've bought me vodka then.“ Tom said and everyone laughed. „I'll keep that in mind.“
„Just have in mind that the only vodka Tom drinks is Smirnoff.“ Edd said and now the colas we're fully forgotten. „Not the diet one.. hate it.“ Tom said. „Who would even buy diet alcohol?“ I asked as I laughed and Tom only raised his shoulders.

„Oh! You bought a low calorie one?“ Matt asked as they served us all pizza. „Yeah, normal one makes me bloated.“ I explained, taking a slice in my hands as Matt nodded. „You just know my taste, Tord! Pepperoni and bacon?“ Edd asked excited. „It's his favorite one.“ Tom explained and I smiled. „I don't even eat any other pizzas!“ Edd said and Tom sighed. „Just tell me you only eat green apples and we can be besties..“ The way Edd looked at me made me scared a little. „No fucking way-“ I started laughing. „How do you drink your syrup?“
„Half water half syrup how else?“ Edd looked at me even more excited while others were switching looks between us. „You guys sound like you were meant to be.“ Tom rolled his eyes as Matt said that. I took another slice of pizza while Matt finally took a bite of his first slice that he was holding for a long time. „Two peas in a pod, huh?“ I asked. „You're like a piece we've been missing!“ Edd was happy.
„Jesus I'm full I mean what they put in that?“ I asked myself and Matt look at me surprised.
„Yeah I mean right?“ Matt said as he tossed his piece away, taking a sip of his cola. Tom and Edd exchanged concerned looks, probably because of Matt.
