I'm awoken from my peaceful slumber when I hear three loud knocks on the door "Connor get up! You're going to be late for school again and I can't drive you today I have a meeting" I rub my eyes still waking up.
"Yes mum, I'm coming" I say more then slightly agitated, I sit up yawning, the sunlight spilling into my room illuminating the mess all over my floor. I will clean this up soon I think to myself, probably. I pick up my phone, checking the time "Shit, I am late" I say out loud chucking my phone onto my bed and looking for a clean shirt to put on. I decide on a pair of black jeans and a warm dark purple coloured Sweater and run down the stairs in my socks.
"Connor, finally you're up! your coffee is on the kitchen you'll have to drink it quickly though" I hear my mum yell from the hallway
"Ok cool thank youuuu" I yell back. I walk into the kitchen and my steamy coffee is sitting on the counter in my stripy mug, I take a sip, hot bitter heaven! this is just what I needed I grab an apple and take a few bites from it before slipping on my shoes and finishing off my coffee. I take my phone out of my pocket checking my various social media accounts, didn't miss allot, Grant did post a photo of us when we went to the park the other day it's pretty cute actually I smile before liking it and continuing to scroll. A few more bites and the apple is also finished I chuck the core into the bin and throw my bag across my shoulders awkwardly adjusting the straps. "Bye mum" I yell from the door.
"Goodbye hunny" she comes running out "have a good day" she smiles and gives me a hug before I close the door and begin my walk to school. I used to catch the bus to school but this year I've started walking more, it's allot less noisy and it gives me some time to clear my head before school starts. I'm actually excited for school today I can't wait to see Troye, I quicken my pace as I start to think about him more and more, he's laugh, he's voice everything about him is perfect. I'm to caught up daydreaming about him to notice the big tree root sticking up through the side walk I trip over it and almost face plant just catching myself in time, my nose touching concrete.
"Ok wow, that was to close" I say awkwardly standing back up and brushing off the dust from my pants and elbows. I hear some soft foot steps behind me followed by an angelic voice, Troye's voice.
"Connor?" He sais questioning himself "are you alright?" He continues coming up beside me.
"Oh yeah" I laugh "I'm fine, didn't see the tree root" I say scratching the back of my neck.
"And I thought I was the clumsiest person I knew" Troye sais, laughing.
I nudge him in the shoulder "ha ha" I say laughing sarcastically. It's quite for a few moments after that, his hands swaying by his side sometimes brushing against mine. "So Troye you live around here?" I ask him breaking the silence.
"Yup, just around the corner there" he sticks out his arm pointing to a rather big house.
"Oh that's cool" turning my head to face him " my house is a fare way down that street, you should come visit some time soon" I say smiling.
"Yeah sure, do you think maybe I could walk home with you today" he replies in a very shy voice.
"Of course" I say grinning. He smiles back before we turn the last corner, with the school only a couple of meters away. "Great" I say "I have math first, what a way to start the day" I say grumbling.
"Hey, me too" Troye sais also in a very flat tone. Grant and Megan are waiting for us at the front of the school, they start signalling to us.
"guys hurry up, it's cold out here" Grant yells from the gate signalling some more. I nudge Troye again.
"C'mon let's go" I say before meeting them and walking into the school.
