Hunger and Highs (BEING REWRITTEN)

Thirteen- A New Friend

//unedited\\

~Tyler~

It had been a few weeks since Troye moved into those apartments and began going to the same school as Josh and I. A lot of girls swarmed the poor boy before he got fed up with it and politely told them he was gay. I smiled a lot more when I was hanging out with those two guys but Josh usually just kept to himself when Troye was around. I didn't know if he made Josh feel uncomfortable or what it was, but I knew that I was really liking Troye. I always found myself holding onto his every word due to his strong accent that would grab anyone's attention. I found myself constantly thinking about big round eyes and plump, pink lips that just seemed so inviting every time he talked. I wanted to shut him up sometimes, just to see what his lips would taste like.

"Tyler." I heard from beside me and I was dragged out of my daydreaming by a very irritated looking Josh. He was slowly getting better and had a lot less withdrawals and for that I was thankful for. "Honestly Ty, if you don't quit thinking about Troye you're going to fail your classes." He grumbled and I smiled sheepishly.

"How do you know I was thinking about him? Maybe I was thinking about Dal, or Brendon, or maybe even you. Who knows." I replied with a smirk and he rolled his eyes.

"Oh please, everyone knows you give him the lovey lovey eyes. I mean, if he doesn't know you have a major crush on him then he is clearly not that smart. Like you're so deep in this I wouldn't be surprised if you were already in love with the guy." He stated grumpily. I had never thought about being in love. I'd never actually been in love before, so how would I know what that felt like? Maybe I could ask Dallon about that later. "Might as well go ahead and marry the guy before he has to go back to the big down under."

"Someone sounds Jelly." I heard from in front of us. I looked at seen that Brendon was looking back at Josh with a smirk. Brendon really did seem happier, while Josh just glared at the guy with the large forehead. "But he's right kid, you are like whipped. And if not by him, it's by someone. I mean, it's fricken obvious."

"Fricken, he says." Josh snorts and Brendon glares this time. I roll my eyes at the two and just sigh. "You should go for it." Josh says after a moment or two of silence.

"What? No, I shouldn't. He'd laugh and say no and then walk off to tell people how pathetic I am." I said, waving my hands around.

"Who would say you're pathetic? I'll knock them into next week because you, Tyler, are amazing in many, many ways." I heard from behind me and when I turned around in my seat, I seen Troye standing there with that adorable smile of his. "I got moved to this class for some reason." He said lightly and I was shocked to hear that they randomly moved classes for someone without them begging for weeks.

"That's strange, I tried to get my classes changed the entire first semester because I had classes with all the preps and stuff, but they still wouldn't do it." Brendon said while holding Dallon's hand underneath the table. I seen Josh smirk slightly at it. Troye's smile faltered but quickly fixed it.

"I don't know, maybe since I didn't pester them like an as-"

"Do you have something to say, you aboriginal bum cleaner." Dallon snapped at Troye, and I could see that Brendon was a bit shocked at what Troye was about to say. Josh was chuckling at what Dal called Troye.

"Josh, do you have a problem? You seem majorly amused by something." Troye stated irritably while still smiling, and it was honestly a little frightening. Josh looked over at him with a cocky smirk.

"I don't know, how do you enjoy cleaning them bums?" He asked and licked his plump pink lips in which I followed very closely with my eyes. "Because it seems more as if you are the one with the problem."

"Josh, leave him alone okay? You two as well, he doesn't get our humor." I said and they looked at me, Troye thanking me quietly. Josh seemed shocked at me defending him but wasn't it my job?

"In case you didn't realize, Tyler, that was an Australian insult." Josh said after leaning over slightly to me and then he got up and stormed off. I kind of felt bad for upsetting him. I sighed and put my head in my hands. I felt a hand rub my back.

"Don't let him get to you. He thinks he can push people around to get what he wants once he gains the trust of someone, especially someone like you." Troye whispered into my ear. If I hadn't had so many trust issues then I wouldn't have even thought about it being remotely true. I felt chills run up and down my back as he rubbed my back soothingly. I felt guilty for upsetting Josh again, because it seemed like that was the only thing I was good for these days. The bell rung shortly after and I was ready to leave. "Ty, you wanna walk home together?" Troye asked and I was a bit nervous.

"I don't know, I normally walk with Josh-"

"Oh come on, he's not going to want to today. He's probably still sulking." Troye said and I furrowed my brows.

"Josh doesn't sulk. He just gets pissed off easily." I defended and he shook his head, putting his arm around me shoulders and walking us away from the school. I looked over my shoulder and seen Josh just looking at us with an expression that I just couldn't place.

"Don't worry, he'll be fine without you for today." Troye said and I was really questioning if Josh would be okay.

Short chapter and lemme just say! I love Troye and I don't want him to be an ass it just happens xD
