[for you] // why don't we ~ tom holland

n y o l c

turns out there were four brunettes. my mom was hosting a small new year's eve party with her friends and she decided to invite the new family that just moved in. the hollands. four boys and their parents.

my mom chatted with their parents for a while about whatever adults talk about. i was downstairs for a while until i joined zach in his room.

"anti-social?" i asked him, joking around. i liked going to zach's room for some odd reason. he gave me a shrug.

"mom's friends are weird" he responded shaking his head. "i know" i said back, letting out a laugh. someone opened the bedroom door and both our heads immediately shot up in that direction.

"oh i'm sooo sorry. i thought this was the bathroom" i realized it was the oldest of the hollands. hah, i didn't even know his name yet. "umm- where is the bathroom again?..." he asked awkwardly.

"down the hall, last door to your left." i told him, giving him a small smile. "sorry again" he blushed a little. "it's fine" i responded and he shut the door behind him.

"well that must've been awkward for him!" zach let out a giggle and stared back at his phone. i gave him a small punch.

later that night, i decided to join the guests and everyone that had come over. i walked down to the kitchen and grabbed a glass of champagne. i turned around and bumped into the same boy that i saw earlier this morning. "sorry" i quickly said and was about to walk away, but then turned around. "hey aren't you the one-" i sad but got cut off.

"-the one that walked in on you guys today. yes." he said rather awkwardly. i started laughing. "what?" he said staring at me.

"nothing." i shook my head. "it was just... funny" i continued laughing, occasionally taking a sip of my drink.

"yeah sure. for you it was!" he said joking around. there was a moment of silence where the two of us just stared into each other's eyes.

"so, what's your name?" i snapped out of our mini staring contest. "oh- umm- t-tom" he said letting out a small smile.

"violet. nice to *properly* meet you" i shook his hand laughing. we talked for a while until his brother joined us.

"is this your girlfriend?" he asked laughing at tom. i stared at him in shock. how could he possibly think that we were dating? i barely met him today.

"violet this is my younger brother harry, harry this is violet" he introduced me, completely ignoring his brother. we talked about random things for a while and i learned that tom was also gonna go to the same high school as me. we walked outside to my backyard and sat down on the stairs.

"can i hang out with you at school? i know this is a weird question..." he asked. i looked at him, he was still staring at the plastic cup he was holding. i looked back up "sure, i don't have any friends anyway" i responded with a shrug. he shot his head up at me. "what?" i asked.

"you don't have any friends? are you kidding me? i thought you were like the popular girl or something" he chuckled. did he actually think that? i was dressed in some black jeans and a hoodie at our new year's eve party.

"me? no, never." i responded. somehow we ended up going to my room. i guess i didn't have any friends because the one and only time i did, i trusted them too much. and then they left me. i get attached to people easily. i didn't want to make the same mistake again. tom was looking around my room at the pictures on my wall while i was in my bathroom.

i came back out and found him sitting on my bed staring at his phone. i walked over to my closet and pulled the hoodie off that i was currently wearing. i rummaged through a messy pile of clothes to find my favorite white hoodie that my mom got me from hawaii once. it was the softest thing ever. i went back to my bed and hopped on my stomach. i browsed through instagram to find a picture daniel had posted with jonah and him in it. tom must've noticed because he turned over to me. "do you know them?" he asked. i stared at him for a moment.

"uhh- yeah. we're... umm friends. sort of- well, not really. i don't know." i responded awkwardly. i didn't even know what to consider the relationship me and daniel had. first he was making fun of me with corbyn then all of a sudden he cared about me. he was weird. but so were all of them.
