~NOTE (18th May 2021): just so you know, this is the first Tom fan fic i've ever written, i wrote it when i was 12. i'm now almost 16. re reading this story makes me cringe, a lot. so i apologise in advice on what you're about to read. you might enjoy it tho? maybe. lmao. but just a warning that it's likely cringeworthy and i don't like it AT ALL AGHHH~

It's finally the end of the Summer Holidays and it's time to start Year 10. I've been excited all summer to make new friends as I haven't been so lucky in previous years. I'm Fleur by the way. I wouldn't say I'm popular.

I have one close friend but that's pretty much it. Her name is Cassy, and she is my best friend. Has been since primary school actually. As soon as we met each other, it was obvious that we were going to be great friends. She used to be really popular and still has a few popular friends but she left them to be with me. She's an amazing friend. Anyway, today is the day.

I woke up at 5 this morning and got all ready for school, I like to look presentable. It's 7 now and I have to leave in 1 hour so I check up on everything just to make sure I don't leave anything behind and now it's time to go. I walk to school because my mum leaves to work at 3am and gets back at 11pm so I rarely see her. The occasional day or two when she takes the day off is when I properly see her, the school is only 10 minutes away anyway though so it's fine.

When I get there I see a small figure waving at me from the school gate, as I walk further forward I see it's Cassy! I run to her and wave back to her. She continues to wave. Her eyes are fixed on someone else. I walk right in front of her and she's moves to the left and continues to wave. A boy all of a sudden appears and wraps Cassy into a tight grip and then kisses her on the forehead.

It isn't any boy though, it's the one and only Byron Garrett from our classes. The most popular boy in school. I know this is going to be nothing but trouble. I look away from this unexpected situation and run into the gates to get to form. When I get in I run to a seat in the back and rest my head against the desk. Why is she so stupid, she's going to get her heart broken.

"Are you Okay?" A voice asks. Without looking up I reply and say I'm fine. I look up after about 2 minutes and look at them. It's a boy, he's the quiet one that's been silent in the back since the start. I think his name is Tom. But from this angle he looks familiar. But I have never been near him before? "Wait do I know you from somewhere?" I ask.

He breaks into a sweat and replies with a no before breaking contact and turning around to face the wall. "I will find out where I know you from, you know", I giggle, "I have an amazing memory". He turns around and chuckles before panicking himself out and turning around again. "What are you hiding, Tom?" I ask in a funny tone before turning to look at my form tutor who is trying to quieten us down to start the work for this morning.

We finish a worksheet before the bell goes and I head to lesson. I have Maths first, with my least favourite teacher so that's good. As I walk into the class I see Cassy with her popular friends. I don't know what going on but I have a feeling that I've lost my only friend to the snobby gang. That's what I call them anyway, even Cassy knows.

When I get ready to sit down, Cara, a popular girl, shoved me which pushes me to the ground. I get back up quickly and wipe the dust off of my uniform. "Oh I'm so sorry. And this seat is uh taken, so uh back of you snob". All of the girls behind her start laughing hysterically as I walk to the back of the class to find a seat. I make eye contact with Cassy as in I'm trying to say, what's going on, but she's turns around and continues to laugh with the other girls.

"Hey Fleur", I hear someone hiss from the very back, I look to see Tom waving me over. I half heartedly smiled at him and took a seat next to him. "Are you Okay? I saw what happened. And I thought Cassy was your best friend?"

"I'm fine thanks and so did I", I say until my words turn into sobs and I collapse onto the table. I feel someone patting my back, softly and kindly. "It's okay, I'll be your friend," he reply's as he smiles at me and assures me that I will be alright. This is the typical life of Fleur Abner.
