Chapter One- "Falling Into Autumn"

Tyler's POV

I love this time of year. The colors of the leaves, the cool breeze, and not to mention all the festives (along with food!). Autumn has always been amazing for me. Here in New York it got pretty cold relatively fast so we could see snow somewhere in November. I don't think anyone could not love fall. Everything just falls into place. It's not too hot, not too cold, not too humid. It's perfect. But with fall comes our junior year of high school. Today's the first day and I already feel like utter shit. But I'm also excited. Now that we're juniors, we have more privileges than before.

My rant about my love for fall was interrupted by a text.

Marcus- yo where you at? I'm waiting outside

My eyes widened as I checked the time. It was already 8:15. I had to get to school at 8:30! I jumped out of bed and felt the window pane. Cold. I thought. I rifled through all my clothes to find a black and white grid jumper along with some black jeans and my converse. I didn't have enough time to shower so I just styled my hair into a quiff and ran down the stairs so fast I'm surprised I didn't trip. My mom wasn't home, as usual, however she left a note.

Dear Ty,
I'm working early and overtime tonight so I won't be back until way after you're asleep. Have a nice day at school, I'm so proud of you for making it this far. You can invite friends if you want too, condoms are in the bottom drawer *wink wink*
PS- please eat something xx queen

Should I be alarmed that she talked about eating something right after talking about condoms? Whatever, I just might take her up on that opportunity. I decided I wasn't hungry, and skipped breakfast.

I walked out the door and saw the familiar face of the one and only Marcus Butler. We've been friends since year six. "What took ya so long, mate?" Marcus asked, chuckling. "I don't know, I was woken up to the text of an angel in the morning and have been fantasising over him ever since." I joked.  "Well stop dreaming, cause he's right here" Marcus replied. "Hm, I wonder where he is, I don't see him" Marcus swatted me with a book "Augh, you dick!" He joked as I laughed. I checked my time and it read 8:26. "Shit, Marcus it's 8:26, we need to go NOW." I urged. I never really liked being late. "Yeah, yeah punctual boy." He replied as he started the car and drove.

We got to school at 8:34, just great. I thanked Marcus anyway and we went to the auditorium to get our schedules. Everyone was already there, teacher midway through the first day of school speech when Marcus and I rushed in. Just then was everybody staring at us. The jocks and cheer leaders of last year shouted across the room from their seats signaling us to come over to them. Yeah, no thanks. I too was a jock last year but I don't think I'll be able to uphold it with all the calories I'm restricting.

"Nice of you to finally join us." An oldish lady with drawn on sharpie looking eyebrows and a gremlin looking nose said to us. Apparently her name was Ms. Larva. She reminded me of a bug, but I wouldn't say that to her. "You, you, you and you, detention." She pointed over to the people who were signaling me over. She pointed to me as well and said "yeah you two as well, maybe that will teach you not to be late. Way to be punctual, boy." Day one and I could tell she was a bitch.

"As you know, our school has rules. Any sort of PDA or sexual activity is NOT tolerated. We stopped provided condoms for this matter, so don't bother. Now this doesn't mean go around and spread STD's and babies. WAIT UNTIL YOU GET HOME. Seriously, it's only six hours."

Aw, well doesn't that ruin my plans. But seriously, who in their right mind would want to have sex in a school? Gross.

"Secondly, bullying of any sort is not tolerated here by any means. One strike and you're out."

She kept rambling about stuff until the first bell rang, when schedules were being handed out. On my way to class, I ran into the one and only Cameron Dallas. Shit. He is the schools biggest homophobe. He's also the most popular kid in our school. Convenient. "Watch where you're going, you wouldn't want to run into any fags, or you'd become one" he joked to me and walked away. Well that was rude. Then the second bell rang. GREAT. I'm late, once again. I rushed over to my first class, math. (A-N/ Tyler decided he wanted to do all honours classes to get looked at by more colleges, so if you know the advanced math class in high school please let me know, it would help a lot xx)

I walked into my first class and was introduced by Mr. Clarke, who also pointed out my tardiness. "Sorry sir, it won't happen again" I said as a few jocks were snickering.

"It better not. As I was saying, my name is Mr. Clarke, and due to things I heard about you guys last year, I'm assigning seats." Oh joy.

Seating Chart-
Allie-Joe
Zoella-Bethany
Hannah-Grace
Casper-Marcus
Dan-Phil
Cameron-Jenna
Tyler-Troye-Connor

How convenient. I was paired in a group of three. Definitely don't feel like a thirdwheeler. I made my way to my seat and was greeted by an enthusiastic Connor Franta. "Hey there! My names Connor! And you are?"

"Tyler, Tyler Oakley. Nice to meet you too." I said half heartedly.

I averted my gaze from my sweater, and looked up. Oh if only I knew how big of a mistake that was.

OHMYGOD GUYSSSS that was over 1,000 words! That's over any chapter I have ever written, but hey, anything for Troyler. And before you guys hunt me down, I knowwwww, Connor, Troye and Tyler are paired together, and there WILL be tronner as well, but it's not permanent. Trust me *wink wink* oh and guys, this story will have triggers like self harm and eating disorders, and will also have homophobic slurs but I will warn you whenever that comes up. PLEASEEEE comment guys, it really means a lot. It means I'm making a good story and I shouldn't put this on a hiatus. I appreciate it guys, don't be a silent reader. -Erixa
Ps- "Erixa" was a typo but I think I like that more than "Erica" so go with it 😂
