tom's pov

"so like, after school, i'll come to your apartment?" i asked my absolutely hot partner, tord. he nodded, looking at his nails.

"yep, and make sure to bring the materials." he sternly reminded me. "i am not failing because of you."

my world full of sunshine dimmed a little. "oh, err. okay." i mumbled.

he realized his words and his eyes widened a little. "ah sh— i didn't mean that! i just . . ." he looked away, searching for words in his mind. "i — just can't . . . err." he looked at me. "i'm just sorry, okay?"

i snorted. "hah, all that just because you hurt me a little?"

his eyes dimmed. "hurt you? i'm sorry."

"oh!" realizing my blunder, i tried to think. why did i say that? "not really, sorry."

well this conversation is a hot mess. i'm such a mess.

"just . . . come to my apartment. i'll even pick you up if you want."

how would i pass up a chance to walk with tord laurens? i smiled, "yeah, sure"

"where's your apartment?" he asked, and then i told him.

"tom!" i heard the voice of matt call. "tommmmm!"

"oh, er. thats my friend. i'll see you later!"

he smiled, then there was a ray of sun from a window that shined upon him. it was like the perfect timing. he looked just like an angel. so perfect and beautiful, i really wish i could be like him.

"byeee!" he waved, then he walked away, bag in one shoulder.

i sighed dreamingly.

"BOO!" and someone put their hands over my eyes. i screamed. oh hell nah i better not be kidnapped. i started thrashing around.

then they started dragging me, when they released their hands i was outside of the campus. of course, the person who scared and kidnapped me was matt.

"how'd that go? little tommy boy?" matt asked.

i rolled my eyes. "i don't know, but i do know that you can literally be a kidnapper."

"also" i continued, "i really have to work on my project with tord. sooo — i have to go home early."

edd opened a can of cola. "that's fine tom, me and matt are going to work on it too."

"thank god i was paired with edd. how was it like being with tord?"

i shrugged. "it was fine, i guess."

"isn't tord like — changed now? from a terrifying bully to a normal person?" edd asked, sipping his can of cold cola

"mhm" i nodded, a big yellow bus was nearing us. i dont usually ride the bus but now i guess i have to. "oh, guys. i gotta go!"

the school bus stopped. and i climbed on along with a few people.

"ready?" tord asked me. he was holding a few materials and wearing his signature red hoodie. "forgot anything?"

"absolutely" i stepped out of my apartment and breathed in the smell of fresh air.
