The blonde boy tries to maneuver around the students without being noticed by anyone. He looked so small and nervous that barley anyone payed attention to con, which was relieving to him. he spots a empty area in the hallway and slinks over to it, pulling out his schedule. lucky it wasn't much different from his own in Aberdeen, which gave him a sense of relief that he could tell when and where he needed to go. math was his first class and it took him a good ten minutes to find it but eventually he did without being noticed.
until a curly-haired boy stops him before he can enter the classroom. "Hey, you new?" Brad asks him, trying not to sound rude. Connor shudders nervously.brad was flawless and con was into guys which was going to make the low key act hard if he ends up liking brad. but i won't he told himself you've only just met him you'd never be with him too. con cringes as he realizes he's looking brad up and down causing the taller boy to furrow his eyebrows
"Y-yeah" he stammers and nods his head. the boy had a thick Scottish accent witch made brad smile a little. he had always liked accents and this made con look one thousand times cuter. the only thing was his scared look, witch made brad a little scared himself that he had upset the boy.
"Oh cool" he nods, deciding to end the conversation before the kid had a mental breakdown or something. but just before he walked into class he turned to face Connor one more time "by the way, I'm brad. welcome" he gives him a genuine smile before sticking out his hand for the small boy to take
"C-Connor" he replies, taking brads warm hand in his poorly circulated cold ones. just before they where finished shaking hands Connor found himself admiring brads toned hands. oh stop it connor your ridiculous, seriously! he lectured himself letting his arm drop to his side.
"Alright, see you in class. You have math right?" He ask, smiling politely. con nods awkwardly and with that brad turns and walks through the door, leaving Connor outside going over the entire encounter.
**
Connor was seated in the back of the class as the bell rings, twirling a pencil between his fingers absentmindedly. the teacher stands up and addresses the class politely, handing out a course outline. Connor found himself oblivious to the real world till something catches his ear, making him snap back to reality.
"we have a new student this year, Connor ball please stand" the reluctant boy stands up quietly under the gaze of the whole class, making him extremely uncomfortable. "kids, i want you to welcome Connor. he just moved here from Aberdeen, Scotland" the class exchanges looks and a few people murmur to each other. but Connor's eyes link with brads and he gives him a welcoming smile, making him relax the tiniest bit.
that wasn't the only time Connor and brad locked eyes that class. it happened too many times to count. brad had already memorized Connors eye colour, witch was a light blue, from the first time they met. he enjoyed cons eyes and found the beautiful. it annoyed the blonde boy a little bit when he noticed a group of girls on the far side of class, giggling and staring at brad. dammit i knew he was straight. con lets his gaze fall to the floor sadly for a second, before looking back up at the teacher and denying he ever was sad about it. he couldn't fall for brad. he just wasn't going to let himself
when the bell rings brad had straightened himself out and was about to ask connor to sit with him and tristan at lunch, but when he walked over, the smaller boy had already grabbed his stuff and dashed out of the class room. the brunette was a little disappointed. its alright, we'll have math together again soon, maybe even another class! brads optimism scared even him as he walks out of the class room, shaking his head slightly.
"hey bradyyyy" a familiar high pitched voice called his name from behind him. brad sighed and turned on his heels to face is ex, Amelia. she was smiling at him hopefully with her posy of bitches right behind her.
"you know i miss you" she pouts, pulling herself uncomfortably close to brad. oh great. he sighs, glancing at the floor so he doesn't have to face Amelia completely.
"you know i don't care" brad mocks her and she scowls backing away from him. a triumphant look falls across his face as she returns to her friends, about to walk away.
"don't think this is over brad!" she spits as she turns, flipping her long blind hair behind her. brad laughs as he turns to head to his next class. umm, it was over when i dumped you. he says to himself as he continues down the hallway.
