I really wanted to kill Tord for just about everything. For everything he ever did to me before, for everything that was happening right now. It was just so much more frustrating than before he left. Edd and Matt were behaving like he could replace me with little effort like I didn't matter to them. Like that bastard was better than me in every single way. I absolutely loathed it. Were they even my friends? They didn't seem like they actually thought about me or how I felt. We were all assholes, that much I knew, but it still stung.

That... that stupid commie could never replace me! He isn't better than me! How could he be?! He left all of us to become someone big and noteworthy, but nothing actually changed! And now he comes crawling back like nothing ever happened and he's some sort of legend? He's acting like he was gone for a few days and not multiple years! He has never been better than me and he never will be!
Right..?

I was lying under the sofa Tord had thrown at me as I tried to convince myself of my own thoughts. While I tried to push the sofa away, I could hear every single word they were saying. Every single word was another stab in my back.

"Classic stupid Tom!" Tord laughed. And Matt was laughing with him. It hurt, but honestly, I didn't expect all that much from him anyway.

"Yeah..." Edd said. "Classic stupid Tom..."

That was the one that actually got me. Even Edd was on his side. That traitor...! But what did I expect? He had always been on his side. They had always been closer friends. And now it was like he never left. Like his absence was barely an inconvenience and not something that may have estranged them. I absolutely hated Tord. He stole my friends, made them constantly laugh about his stupid 'pranks', ruined my life with returning and moving back in... Back when he left us I thought I would never have to see him again. I was actually happy he left. Good riddance! And now I was laughed at by everyone...

I finally managed to push the sofa away from me and slowly got up. I swore that I'd show Edd Tord was up to something and kick him out of this house for good! I would just have to stay here and find evidence he wants to do something evil. Even though staying here would only make me more bitter, me leaving was only what he wanted, wasn't it? I wouldn't give him that.

My friends were still laughing as I glared at them. These idiotic traitors. Every single one of them was an idiot. But I would make them see just who Tord really was. One day I would definitely get my revenge on this slimy red eel. Then I would pierce through him with my harpoon and make sure he would never show his sorry face again. One day.

Matt and Edd sat down on the dumb sofa Tord had invented, their face lighting up with excitement. I just awkwardly stood beside them, feeling out of place in my own home. Stupid Tord...

"Hey guys, do you want to watch 'Insane Zombie Pirates from Hell Four'?" Tord grinned at them, waving the DVD in front of their faces.

"Yeah!!" my 'friends' cheered as I simply huffed.

"Tom, what about you? Do you want to watch the film with us as well?" Edd asked. I could see it on his face that he thought everything was just fine and dandy. He probably thought that all of us spending time together would turn us into... what, friends? He couldn't be serious. That dumbass.

"Yeah, I guess..." I replied after a while. I needed to play by the rules if I wanted to have Tord show his true colors. It was pretty lame, but what else could I do?

"So everything is just like old times," Edd smiled as he leaned back into the sofa, cola can in his hand.

"Yeah... JUST LIKE OLD TIMES..." Tord said a devilish grin on his face as he closed the curtain of the living room dramatically. What a weirdo.
