✩ It All Started With A handkerchief. ✩

✩ Chapter 7: Bang.✩

"It's something I'll cherish, hold onto tightly and never let go. Not planning to at least."

Tolkien's POV:

After I dropped Nichole off I laid in my bed with pajamas pants on. I kept replaying my evening through my head. I have a new friend now. Clyde Donovan. Someone I used to hate is now my friend. I never expected it. I never wanted it. But I'm glad I got it.

Clyde proved me wrong. I thought he was an annoying jock. Well, he is. But this night he showed me how much more there is to him. The adventure, sweetness and beauty is what I missed.

We don't have much in common but we click well somehow. It's like peanut butter and jelly. Two different things, But they're always put together, they were made for each other. In this case, platonically.

I turn to my side and close my eyes. It's late. I'm tired. I hold onto my pillow lightly, resting my cheek onto it.

I find it interesting how Clyde was my last thought before I fell into slumber.

I walk into the school building after Clyde. His smile faded and he walked away to his girlfriend and Craig.

I watch him walk away, a little upset.
I thought that becoming friends would mean we could hangout more in public but maybe not? Or maybe it's just for today. I'm sure we'll talk in classes right?

Throughout the entire day, Clyde didn't say a word to me. He acted like if I wasn't there again. He barely even looked my way. Like if nothing even changed.

He always talks to Bebe or Craig, sometimes both. But never me. What's the whole point of being friends with him anyways? Just for this. I thought he would want to talk to me here, apparently not?

Was I just a one time thing? I sighed and shut my locker. It's last period anyways. I look forward and saw Clyde, looking away while kissing Bebe.

I felt a pang strike through me, I wasn't hurt but I wasn't careless either. She's kissing Clyde who, by the way, doesn't even seem to care. Clyde isn't looking at her like how he looks at me. He never will. She isn't worthy. If he doesn't even like her then why bother staying with her? If you guys are together or not, no one will care. So drop her and go to me.

Why would he talk to a whore like bebe but not me?

Fuck me.

I'm jealous.

Clyde's POV:

It was last period, Math. I hate math, I actually hate learning in general. It's boring and the teachers suck ass and don't make it make sense.

I now only like this class because of Tolkien. I never noticed him in any of my classes before but once we started talking, he was all I could think of. We actually have 4 periods together.
But the difference with this one is that, no criag, no Bebe, no other friends. It's just me and him random others and a guy named Thomas. He's a weird guy to be honest, that's why I don't talk to him. Craig does. I think Thomas even likes him- anyways...

I lean my chin on my palm and look at Tolkien, he's so handsome. His hair seem so soft, his skin seems so smooth. He looks focused on his work but also isn't even breaking a sweat. How does he just sit there? How can he just sit there and look so beautiful?
It's unfair.

I glance at the clock, 5 more minutes till class is done and school is over. Tolkien finished his work already, he just put his head down. Is he really going to attempt to sleep when we have 5 minting left?
