DEGRASSI AU: An international Love

1.03 Difference Don't Matter

I woke up to the sound of my stupidly annoying alarm. Another day, thank you God. I get out of bed and look quickly through my phone. I see many notifications and miscalls. What the crap. I open my ChatterApp to see messages from Zoe, Maya, And Zig. I hoped to had seen one from Miles but nothing.

Maya: Tristan don't forget to come to school early! We're gonna join music club together, you promised me!

Zoe: hey so like, I think I really like Sofia. She messaged me last night, IDK what to do! I need you ASAP

Zig: We need to talk, Tristan. Come to school early would ya.

Geez. People were so annoying at this time! I don't know why I was in such a mood. All I knew was that I had to get school early. My meeting with Simpson was before classes and I didn't wanna be late. I got ready for school and headed downstairs when I suddenly remembered that I had forgotten to put Miles' number in my phone. I got into my car and quickly put it in. After I had done that, I realized that I had accidentally pressed the call button. CRAP!!! I hung up and put my fingers on my lips. Ring. Oh my god. My call went through? I was so sure that I hung up right away. Now he was returning my call. Should I answer?

"Hello?" I said, closing my eyes and feeling embarrassed.

"Uh? Hello hi yeah someone just called my phone just now. I'm just returning the call."

"Miles...sorry, it was an accident I was actually adding you into my contacts,"

"Oh...Tristan, hi! I was actually wondering when you'd call me."

"We only spoke last night, chill?"

"Haha yeah well when you find someone attractive, you kinda wish they'd call you the minute you give them your number,"

"Well I'm on my way to school though so..."

"Oh wow. I was just about to head to bed...it's 2am here."

"Awww wow okay then good night?"

"I'll talk to you later though?"

"Bye,"

I hung up on him and decided to check the time. CRAP! I'm late for the meeting!! I threw my stuff in back seat and started my car. As I backed off the drive way, I hear a loud crash. I get out of the car and seen Zig's car behind mine.
"What the fuck, Tristan!" He screamed. "My car is totaled!!!! I just did a paint job on it!!! You're paying to have it fixed!"

Could this day get any worse?

"So I have to find some way to pay the insurance. Ugh, I'm so mad," I say as I grab my lunch tray. Zoe and Maya follow me.

"Well you should've been more careful," Maya started. "What was distracting you?" I sat at an empty lunch table and sighed.

"I was talking to this...guy I met on that app you guys told me to get," Zoe grins at me.

"Oh? He's at in again? I told you you're gonna fall in love with him!" Zoë said as she took a bite of her sandwich. I gave her a look.

"What's she talking about?" Maya asked. "What guy?" Oh here we go.

"Just...a guy I met on ChatterApp. This is him," I open up his profile and showed the two. Maya's eyes widened.

"Oh wow he's handsome...are you sure he's into guys tho?" She asked as they both looked through his page. "I mean, he looks pretty straight to me. A guy like that couldn't possibly be gay," Zoe glared at Maya.

"You're just jealous that that hot guy actually showed interest him and no one wants you!"

"Zoe! Stop it!" I exclaimed. "You two always do this. You fight and bicker brats and I hate it!" I immediately get up and throw my plate of food. I look at them one last time before exiting the cafeteria. Ugh! Honestly they stressed me out so much! All they ever do is fight. It's like I can have a normal conversation with both of them at the same time. I walk into the empty computer lab and took a seat. I took out my phone and seen that Miles had texted me.

Hey!

Should I tell him what's wrong? I mean, I barely know him but I feel like talking to someone. It just sucked every time. Ugh whatever! I opened my ChatterApp and seen that he was online.

Tristan: Miles...
Tristan: If you're not busy, I'd like to talk to you...haven't really been having the best day! 😞 I just wanna talk to someone.
Miles: is typing.....
Miles: Hey What's up?
Miles: you okay?
Tristan: today just started so freaking shitty! I was late to my meeting with the principal, I crashed into my ex's car and now my two best friends are fighting with each other! Ugh sometimes I don't even kno why I bother!
Miles: did your ex hurt you?
Miles: because if he did then I'd say Karma's good... 😜
Tristan: Haha!! Ya he kinda did but I'm too embarrassed to say... also it's kinda personal...I have to fucking pay the insurance company.... 😑😑😑
Miles: Awww that must suck!!
Miles: what's the company's name? The car insurance place?
Tristan: bristols or something... ugh this sucks how am I suppose to rule this school and shine in all of my glory if I'm so tied down by this drama!!! So not how I pictured my Senior year starting! 😑😑😑😑😑
Miles: hahaha, chill. Maybe a dick pic will cheer u up?
Tristan: tell me about it...I need to watch some porn...
Miles: uh.....I was joking....wait you do that?
Tristan: no u idiot I was pulling your leg!!!
Miles: what the fuck😂😂 okay...
Miles: are u feeling better?
Tristan: Yeah actually, thanks
Miles: anyways, I gotta go. My dads being a dick so...
Tristan: awww but I still wanna talk?
Miles: I'll call you in a few hours, ok?
Tristan: fine. 😊 I had a fun talk Miles!
Miles: good night hot stuff!
Tristan: hahaha good night to u to!

I put my fingers on my lips and couldn't help but smile. It felt nice to have a normal conversation with someone. I looked and seen that Zig had entered the classroom. I put my phone in my pocket and folded my arms.

"What do you want?" I hissed. "I'm busy,"

"I wanted to talk to you...about us." He started. "Maybe I was wrong to hurt you and I think I'm still in love with you." I stared at him in disbelief. Don't take him back, Tristan.

"Nice try, Zigmund." I head for the exit when he takes my hands.

"Trissy boo..." he says sweetly. "It's you and it'll always be you," was something he always said to be when we were together. He stared deeply into my eyes and I stared into his. I can't believe this. I'm falling for him again. I close my eyes and let myself kiss him. He slowly pushes me away then pulls me pressed against his body. This felt nice. I thought. We made out for about 5 minutes when all of a sudden someone had walked into the room.

"What the hell are you doing!?!" Esme stomped her feet on the ground and glared at me.

Crap!
