Are you a muse(d)? ; thorcid

No. 2

"Ok, ok. What about this. Dark sky. Angel wings. SpongeBob squarepants in the background."

Thorgy giggled as Jamin sketched. After walking with each other to all their classes, they decided to sit together at lunch. Well, Thorgy forced them to rather than it being a mutual decision. Jamin hadn't opened up much but he didn't really need to, Thorgy just spoke for both of them. As they walked down the halls people would hi-five and greet the lollipop-loving nerd but even when he was with him they still didn't like Jamin. Somebody had yanked on his bag sending his books everywhere, leading to where they were now. Thorgy was incredibly enthusiastic about his art and was even more excited when he found out he had artists block.
"Draw me! Please! I'll love you forever!" Thorgy had said, shaking him wildly.
How could Jamin turn down that offer?

Jamin laughed slightly at all of his stupid suggestions. He pretended to think about it, but he was never going to do them. He liked how Thorgy looked at the present moment. His lollipop was now replaced with some bright pink bubble gum and his comic book had been tossed aside for a powerpuff girls yo-yo. He was wearing some green dungarees over a quirky button up, red converse and parrot socks on his feet. Jamin liked this look. It was so ridiculous, but for some reason he could pull it off.
"Wanna see me do some tricks?" Thorgy said, fixing his glasses.
"Well," Jamin scoffed and continued with his piece. "I'd like to see you try."
Thorgy folded his arms and huffed, stomping his foot.
"I totally can! Watch this."
He started spinning the yo-yo round wildly and threw it in the air. It hit the ceiling and bounced back down, hitting Thorgy straight in the nose. Jamin snorted loudly and covered his mouth while Thorgy groaned in pain. Looking up, he noticed the phone in his hands.
"Oi, you bitch! Were you recording that?"
This sent Jamin into another fit of laughter. He hadn't laughed this hard since watching the chuckle brothers live. He didn't know why, but he felt comfortable with Thorgy. Jamin had a bad habit of getting too close to people, so he figured he should shut himself in, but Thorgy just brought him out again. He hated him for that, but loved him for it at the same time.
It was getting near the end of lunch and Jamin wasn't even close to finishing. He was hoping it wouldn't come to this as he's normally too awkward to ask, but he had to.
"Hey, Thorgy, can I um... Take a picture of you? Just so I can, like, finish this at home. Jamin prepared himself for the rejection but Thorgy just grinned and posed. Jamin took the picture and gave him a thumbs up, letting him get back into a comfortable position. Before Jamin could put his phone away, Thorgy yanked it out of his hands and started fiddling with it.
"Sorry- i'm mentally an old woman I don't know how to use these. I'm more of a DS person."
He said, rolling his eyes at himself. Jamin stood there awkwardly, too wimpy to snatch it back. A minute passed and Thorgy handed his phone back, a cheesy grin on his face.
"We're now officially friends!" He beamed, proud of himself.
Jamin looked at what he had done, laughing at the stupidity of it. Thorgy had added his contact, naming it 'Thorgles :D' and adding a wacky picture of himself from a bad chin angle. Before he could say anything, the bell rang and the two headed off to class.

Jamin lay on his bed staring up at the ceiling, crappy indie music playing in the background. His drawing of Thorgy sat next to him, now finished and taunting him. Jamin thought it was his worst and that Thorgy would leave him for insulting him, but maybe he was just being paranoid.
He looked at the time. 22:09. Ah, the perfect time to tell your mom that you're going to sleep and then proceeding to stay up until 5 hours before school starts. He changed into his pajamas and brushed his teeth, shouting goodnight before heading back into his room. Jamin thought about his first day, most specifically Thorgy. It was so cool to meet a person like him and even cooler that he wanted to be friends. Jamin started zoning out and sighing dreamily when his phone went off. He scrambled up to get it and looked at the text he had received.

Thorgles:
Are u awake??!!
Jaimen rooren:
Yeah, why?
Thorgles:
Just bored and can't sleep.

He laughed at how quickly Thorgy responded, starting a conversation with him. They stayed up the whole night texting and Jamin may or may not have fallen asleep while silently giggling at the video of Thorgy hitting himself in the face.
