Edd fell onto the grass face-first. "Nice face plant." I snickered as Edd pulled himself to his feet.

"Shut it, Night-Eyes." Edd chuckled. We made it to that crummy hill, and surprisingly, three people were sitting at the edge.

Edd has accidentally smacked me while trying to shush me, causing Edd to snicker. "Holy shit—" I shut Edd's mouth as fast as possible.

Edd stopped laughing and crawled towards them, trying to listen. I did the same, of course.

"Tord, just confess." The taller one lamented, nudging the jerk.

"I can't!" He whined, leaning on the shorter male. "Tord, let me do the honors."

The shorter male found his way into Tord's pocket and had took out his phone. "Fine then. Call. I bet he'll even pick up—"

Shit, shit, shit!

My phone was sent on silent but it still vibrates in my pocket. I didn't pick up, just letting it vibrate.

"Damn, guess he really hates you." The tall male informed. "Also, where'd you get this outfit? It looks adorable on you!"

"I bet all my cigarettes that someone bought it for him!" The short guy blurted. "I bet that tall ginger got it."

"What if you guys were both right?" Tord questioned. "Then, it's 50/50." Mr. Tall chuckled.

"Whatever. I'm heading back." Tord briefly stood up. Edd stood up and crept away. "C'mon, let's go!" Edd whisper-shouted. I stood up and ran after him. Luckily, No one saw me.

I ran after Edd back to the apartment and immediately dashed to Edd's room.

"Text Tord. See when he'll come over." Edd did exactly as commanded to.
(Edd, Tord)

'Tord, when ya coming home??'

'I'm coming rn. you alone?'

"Just lie. it'll make things easier." I sighed and wanted for Edd to tap send.

'yeah, what's wrong?'

'why is tom's phone in the ground? where i am?'

Edd looked up at me as I began rummaging through my pockets, not finding my phone. Shit.

'dunno. did you take it?'

'no. is tom asleep?'

'yeah. you gonna return it?'

'sort of.'

Edd shut off his phone and shoved it into his pocket. "You best get some shut eye, Tom." Edd teased, poking me annoyingly.

"Alright, I'll try." I joked back, heading back to my apartment. I unlocked my door and suddenly collapsed onto the couch, exhaling heavily.

After a few minutes of waiting, the handle to my door suddenly clicked. I shut my eyes, pretending to sleep, peeking slightly. That damned Norwegian walked through the door, his sweater wrapped around his waist.
