The next morning Sam woke up early to see he hasn't closed his curtains properly. Groaning he saw he still had an hour before he had to get up for school. Sitting up to close his curtains, Sam briefly looked outside spotting a familiar dark haired boy stretching just outside his house. Sam looked at the clock again to make sure what he was seeing was right.

Liam started jogging off down the street and out of Sam's view. Sam started to feel jealous of Liam's easy athleticism and muscular body. Great. Sam had managed to befriend the most mental person he could have found. Who runs before school? And at 6am?? Mental. In spite of this thought, Sam found himself smiling in fondness of his new friend, before sinking back into his pillows to go back to sleep if only for an hour.

At school, after Sam and Liam groaned through Art class when the teacher set one of those shitty projects for them to do. They thankfully left the stuffy art room for break.

"So this Sunday then" Liam questioned

Sam stared at him "for what? What makes you think I'm free for you Jones" Sam's eyes narrowed.

Liam's eyes twinkled "for our project! I've decided that we are partners... and I know you're free because even after a week of knowing you, I know you're never doing anything"

"What kind of dictatorship? Can I not choose my partner for myself?" Sam shoved Liam

Liam laughed "No. Sorry sweetheart" Liam teased.

Sam blushed at the words. Even though it was a joke, Sam was still affected by Liam.

.............................................................................

Sam felt himself relax as he remembered the next lesson was English. He could do English.

Sitting next to Liam however was proving more difficult. But luckily today was partner work so instead of ignoring the teacher and stealing glances, Sam could give Liam his full attention.

Sam turned to the other boy and quickly got lost when his eyes traced the high cheekbones of Liam's face.

"Ok so what do you think Gimli and Legolas' children would look like?"

"Huh" Sam was pulled out of his thoughts by the weird question "is that on the board?"

Liam chuckled causing Sam to focus on the low sound "No, Sam you zoned out again while the teacher was talking. We're meant to be analysing this passage"

"Right. Yes of course" Sam desperately reached for anything to reply while trying to mentally get back to the classroom.

Liam started underlining parts of the passage and Sam found himself watching the small pice of hair that fell into Liam's face as he worked. Restraining himself from reaching out to tuck the hair behind Liam's ear, Sam started reading the passage. What was happening??

After presenting their ideas to the class, they all got up to leave as the bell rang.

"Carson could I have a moment" the teacher called as Sam was leaving. "I just wanted to give you a heads up about this writing competition for short stories if you are interested? You get your story in the paper, £1000 and it would be amazing for university applications. You've applied to Oxford right? They love this kind of thing."
