HOW TO SAVE A LIFE
CHAPTER TWENTY NINE
❝SOME SORT OF WINDOW TO YOUR RIGHT AS HE GOES LEFT, AND YOU STAY RIGHT BETWEEN THE LINES OF FEAR AND BLAME, YOU BEGIN TO WONDER WHY YOU CAME.❞

      "Tom likes Rosie! Tom likes Rosie!" the other kids taunted him as they tossed his pencil case around the classroom. He struggled to jump and grab it out of their grubby hands, but he was unfortunately shorter than them by a few centimeters. "You like her don't you?"

      "That's none of your business," Tom shot back as he tried to reach for is pencil case. He groaned out annoyance as he went across the other room where the bag was thrown. But just as he had gotten there, his classmate threw it back to the other side. Tom expected Andrew, the ringleader in this miserable school life of his, to catch it. But he was surprised when Andrew was shoved aside and another hand caught it.

      Noah sighed as he placed the pencil case under his arm to carry it whilst he stuffed his hands in the pockets of his pants. "Boys, boys, boys, what did I tell you guys? It's not a good idea to pick on Tom, I mean he's a great guy," Noah exasperated as he took his hands out only to refer to his friend. "I'm pretty sure my sister has always given you the warning. So what's it gonna be, do you guys want me, calm and laid back Noah, to stop you once and for all. Or do you want my sister who is almost half my height and weighs about 40% less than all of you to kick your sorry arses?"

      Andrew scoffed at his comment, but his actions said otherwise as he and his friends exited the classroom. Noah shook his head at their behavior before he walked towards his friend with his pencil case at hand. "Here you go, Tommy," Noah beamed proudly.

      "You're chipper than usual," Tom muttered under his breath as he shoved his pencil bag back into his backpack. Doing his homework in advance was a mistake. But then again he had nothing else to do with Rosé making up the test she had missed and Noah whose girlfriend demanded about 90% of his time.

      Noah hummed under his breath as he cocked his head to the side. The smug smile on his face worried Tom and he only knew that it was anything but good. "Really? I'm sorry, it's just, I couldn't help but overhear the conversation before I walked in."

      "Noah stop speaking in cryptic codes and tell me what you're going to make fun of me for for the next two weeks," Tom interrupted as he held his palm up and stopped his friend. He gave his friend a small smile as he slipped his backpack on. The two began walking towards the cafeteria despite lunch being halfway over. "So, what is it? You look like you're going to pee yourself because of excitement."

      "You like my sister!" Tom froze in his tracks as he stared at Noah with widened eyes. Noah gaped at the realization as he ran towards his friend and held him close. "Thomas Holland don't you dare fuck with me. I wanted this relationship more than I wanted a cat, and you know I love cats."

      Tom snapped back into the real world and pushed Noah off as he tried to walk off the blush on his cheeks and the pounding of his heart. Noah quickly caught up to him and stopped him once more, pushing him against the wall. "Tom, do you like Roseanne, yes or no?"

      "Are you kidding me? She's like my sister!"

      "But you didn't deny it back in the classroom."

      "My sister, Noah, she's like a sister to me."
