Tord Matt Bully

I hate that I love you

Tord walked into the hallway and looked for Paul before either of their class started.
He eventually found the senior's hallway and managed to shuffle through all the towering teenagers and finally found Paul.

Paul turned and faced Tord.
"Hey Tordy what are you doing down here? This is the seniors hallway" Paul asked grabbing his stuff out of his locker.

"Well I needed to tell you...you know that Matthew guy, our one nighbor" Tord tried to jog Paul's memory.
"Oh yeah what about him?" Paul asked shutting his locker.

"Well is it ok if he comes over after school?" Tord asked.
"Of course I don't mind- wait to do what?
Is it for a date?" Paul asked nudging Tord's arm.

"What?! Of course not, it's for a school project" Tord told as he blushed a little.
"Well call whatever you want, just make sure he treats ya right" Paul teased as he took off for class.

"Oh crap the bells about to ring!" Tord realized as he began to run down hallways and stairs.
"Shit shit shit" Tord repeatedly thought hoping he would at least make his class.

He stopped at the classroom door, trying to catch his breathe.
After he did he walked into the classroom.

Tord didn't pay much attention in this class he didn't in his class after that or the one after that.

All Tord could think about was Matt.
He couldn't explain this feeling he had it frustrated him, he's felt like this for awhile.

"What the hell is this I'm feeling...is it love" Tord questioned himself.
Tord jumped a little after hearing the bell ring.

He got up and walked out the class room and towards the cafeteria.

After he got his food he went over and sat down at a table across from Paul and Patryk.
"So little brother care to tell Patryk anything?" Paul asked sounding like he already knew.

"Uhh no...I don't think so" Tord responding  sounding confused.
"Oh really you don't wanna tell him about your date with that Matthew kid?" Paul asked.

"What! It's not a date! We're just doing a school project" Tord said telling the truth blushing slightly.

"Oh yes it is...you've had a crush on him since middle school" Paul teased.
"No!" Tord screamed.
"Yes!" Paul replied.

"It's fine Tord you don't have to talk about if you don't want to" Patryk said finally interviening.

"Pfft it's not a date" Tord huffed as he finally bagan to start eating his food.
"Call it what you want" Paul pestered as he also started to eat.

Tord growled.
"Growl all you want, you still like him" Paul teased.
"I DO NOT HAVE ROMANTIC FEELINGS FOR MATTHEW!" Tord shouted.

Paul and probably every other student starred at Tord.

"Good to know" Matt said before he walked away from their table.
"Dude! You just ruined your chances with him!" Paul explained.

"Would stop with that!" Tord demanded.
"Would you just admit you like him already!" Paul demanded.

"Whatever" Tord replied before storming off.
"Hey Tord c'mon" Paul begged as he chased after Tord.
Patryk of course followed Paul.

They followed Tord into a empty hallway filled with shut lockers.
"Hey c'mon...look I'm sorry for picking on you, but we both know you like him"

Tord walked over to Paul and hugged him burying his face into his older brother's chest.
Tord couldn't help but cry.

"Oh geez" Paul whispered as he hugged his brother back.
"This is middle school all over again" Paul remembered it like it was yesterday.

*Flaaaaaaaaaaashbaaaaaack*

Tord was only in 6th grade when this happened.
Paul remembered Tord coming home from school tears forming.

"Hey what's the matter bud?" Paul asked concern in his voice.
Tord kept crying.
"C'mon tell bubby what's wrong" Paul gently demanded.

Tord wiped his face with his hoodie.
"I-t-told Eduardo I liked m-matt and he made fun of me" Tord spilled still crying.

"Aww come here" Paul opened his arms.
Tord ran into Paul's arms embracing a hug.
"Forget about Eduardo, what does he know" Paul said comforting Tord.

"But what if he tells Matt?" Tord asked.
"Well I can't help if he does...you'll just have to hope he doesn't"
Paul told truthfully.

Paul sat there in silence comforting his little brother like he did way back when.
Paul snapped back into reality.

"Alright the bell's about to ring so you better get going" Paul reminded.
Tord let go and wiped his tears away with his sleeves.

"Later Tord" Patryk said before him and Paul left for class.
Tord waved and immediately ran into something...or someone.

Tord looked up.
"Hey look where you're going!" Eduardo yelled.
"Oh great just great!" Tord thought has he started to become anxious.

Eduardo also looked up.
"Well look who it is" Eduardo recognized Tord as he got up.

"It's the the little Russian with a crush on the ginger dunce" Eduardo joked.
Tord jumped up and got in Eduardo's face.

"Hey! That was a long time ago! Ed-nerd-o!" Tord shouted.
"Pfft say what you want but Jon told me other wise" Eduardo claimed pushing Tord out of his face.

"What did that little twerp tell you!" Tord demanded for an answer.
"He told all that I needed to hear" Eduardo admitted.

"Pfft please how do you know he's telling the truth he's dumb as a brick" Tord pointed out.
"He may be stupid but he would never lie, he's too pure for that" Eduardo told.

Tord crossed his arms.
"Maybe you guys should just mind you're own business!" A voice yelled from behind Tord.

Tord turned around and was shocked to see Matt standing behind him.

"M-matt?"
Tord stuttered.
