It was a rainy, relaxing Sunday afternoon. Though Tom could not appreciate this at the time as he was currently in a deep sleep, trying to rid of the hangover he had gotten from drinking too much the night before. Little known to him, today would be a big changing point in his life. Today was the day a so-called Tord would move in.  Tord, a care-free, happy-go-lucky, insane, doesn't-fall-in-love-too-easily kind of person. But may his life be changed as well, upon the meeting of Tom.
                          ~1:00 pm~
"Ugggggghhh," Tom groaned, waking up from his sleep. Nothing but himself had woken him up, which upset him as sleep was no longer an option. (Once awake it was hard for him to go to bed again.) There was a nice drizzle out his window, very calming, as he pulled himself out of his seemingly heavenly, at the time, bed to go take some medicine for his pounding headache. Some water with that. (Or coffee.) He lived alone which was nice... but got lonely at times. He got to his kitchen and started brewing some coffee, then downed some Ibuprofen. Though Tom did not show it well he liked gossip. And while listening in on some of the neighbourhood gossip, he had picked up that someone would be moving in-  close to him. Interesting. He scared most his friends away in the past so he took someone moving in as an opourtunity to redeem himself. He did have friends, don't get me wrong. But they lived far away, and they only communicated through texting these days. Oh so busy. "Well....," Tom sighed ,"I should probably do something productive soon...." Though a little voice in his head said it would be better to go back to bed instead.
                -after Tom found motivation to do something-

Tom walked slowly into the grocery store because he had decided he needed food. (Though he didn't really)
He walked through the isles aimlessly, picking up anything he found interesting really. He was gazing at a particularly annoying ceiling tile when he bumped into someone. "Oh I'm sorry I ju-," he said, panicking. "It's fine," said the stranger, smiling happily, "do you live near here, by any chance?," he said attemping conversation, Tom supposed. "Uh, yeah I do, the neighbourhood closest, actually." Tom replied. "Oh! What a coincidence! I just moved in there! Name's Tord!" he said enthuseasticly, putting his hand out. Tom shook it, saying "Nice to meet you Tord, my name's Tom." "As to you, Tom. Hey, wanna hang out later? I don't have any friends really, just moving here and all but you seem like a real nice guy! I would like to get to know you." Tord said, still shaking Tom's hand while saying this. "Uh.. If you want, I guess." Tom said. His head was pounding and this guy seemed to never shut up. "Yay! It'll be so fun, Tom! We can watch TV and play video games and maybe get a pizza and oh it'll be great! I love friends! When should I come over? Oh I don't know where you live haha. Maybe I could come over once we're done shopping! I could go in my own car of course but I could go to your house ya know...," he was rambling now. 'Maybe this wasn't the best idea... Maybe I can say I'm busy, actually..' Tom thought, only half listening to Tord. "So what do ya think?" Tord said, eyes sparkling as Tom was snapped from his thoughts.
"Sounds good.. So I guess we'll shop and then go to my place?" Tom said, that's what he got out of it, so. "Yep!" Tord said, grabbing something off the shelf behind him. "I'm ready when you're ready!" He said, obviously over-excited. Tom really didn't NEED anything so, pretending to think about it, he said "I guess we can go."
