Tom awoke the next morning, sun glaring in his face. He slowly turned to look at the clock. The bright red numbers read '7:15' am. "Dammit." Tom growled. He rolled over, slowly beginning to doze off again when there was a pounding at the door. " get up! I'm gonna be late to work! " he heard his mothers voice. Tom sighed, slowly making his way up, and to his dresser. He pulled out torn skinny jeans, and a checkered shirt. He gOt changed, throwing his blue hoodie over his shirt, slipping on his vans, before making his way to the bathroom. Her brushed his teeth, and attempted to mess with his hair. He looked at himself in the mirror, giving up on his hair. He ran down the stairs, grabbing his back, along with a granola bar. "Ok I'm ready to-" he noticed a note with sloppy hand writing. Tom read the note 'took to long to get ready. Ur walking to school. I'll be there to pick you up. Love you! -mom' Tom s sighed, leaving the house and began walking to school. 

Tord was leaning against his locker, messing around in his phone when he heard footsteps. He looked up to notice Matt walking towards him. "Heya" Matt waved. Tord didn't respond, he only waved. "How are you?" The finger tilted his head slightly. " not good. I feel bad for telling Tom I didn't care. I made him feel like I didn't care and just-" Tord shut his phone off, shoving it in his pocket. "I guess there's nothing I can do about it." Tord shrugged, swinging his bag over his shoulder and heading to his class a little early. Matt watched Tord walk away sadly, he felt bad for his friend. He knew this wasn't what he intended to do. He just didn't know how to handle his feelings, and was scared of looking Tom for something stupid like his sexuality . 

>Tord P.O.V<

I can't believe I yelled those words to his face. It has to be glued into his brain that by hate him. I didn't mean to make him feel this way. I would try to change, but I don't know how good it would go. It would probably only show weakness. I am NOT showing any signs of weakness. Ugh! I hate this stupid crush. It's stupid and dumb. 

>no P.O.V<

Tord sat in his seat, fiddling with his thumbs. A tale make walked in, with a shorter one. Tords face lit up, once he recognized them. Her walked over to the boys giving them a hug. "Oh thank god your here" Tord sighed. He let go of them looking towards them. "I need help. And lots of it too. Edd and Matt can't help." Tord pleaded. These two had to be able to fix  his stupid love problem. " Ok, well what do you need help with? HOMEwork? Project? " Pat asked, willing to help him. "Ehhh.. Not really." Tord fiddled with his hoodie strings. " Well what do you need help with? " Paul quesrioned, taking a seat. "Well uh, you know the crush I have On Tom, right?" They both nodded. " Well yesterday I uh, well. I yelled something at him. And I'm pretty sure I messed up our relationship. I mean not that we really had one but.. Just. I need your help. "

Tord stood at the two doors to the lunch room. "I can't do this" 

"Yes you can!" Pau and Pat pushed Tord towards the door. " Just. Doo the best you can. " Pat gave tord a thumbs up. Tord gulped the air, entering the loud cafeteria. He was terrified. Ann's felt as if everyone was staring. He finally made it to his normal lunch table and took a seat next to Tom. He looked to the shorter male giving him a smile. Tom only crossed his arms, looking away. "Thomas, i- uh- I need to uh. Talk to you" Tord stuttered at he spoke. "Mmhm. What about?" Tom raised a brow. " i need to apologize about yesterday. I was an asshole and just. I'm sorry. I didn't mean what I said. I genuinely care about you. And just -"

"Then why are you constantly teasing me!? Making fun of me? Acting like you hate me everyday? Making me feel hated and just. Why? If you care, then why? " Tom snapped, looking hurt, and almost as if he was about to cry. "I- because I was scared and it seemed like you didn't care for me and that made me upset but when -" Tord paused taking a shaky breathe " but when these feelings suddenly began creeping up on me I didn't know how to feel or what to do. And-" Tord paused again. "Just never mind. I don't really have a reason" Tom stared in shock, the hurt still mixed in his face. "How did I make it seem like I didn't care? You started reading me FIRST! And it's tiring to hear the same teasing every day!" " Well if you really cared about to do much why didn't you just tell me? " Tord looked to Tom, being able to see how hurt Tom was. "So, it was just 'friendly teasing '" Tom somewhat rolled his 'eyes' now being annoyed with Tord "LOOK, if I didn't care would I be apologizing to you right now, and spilling out all of my damn feeling!? Why can't you just accept my apology, and we can be friends again!?" Tom growled a little, picking his bag up " keep dreaming, commie " he hissed, leaving the table.
