     Ty entered his dorm, the other students were starting to wake up. He scavenged his bathroom for his pill bottle, it took a while before he found the small plastic container. He would've forgotten to take the pills again, and he didn't want to find out what would happen if he stopped taking them. He smiled at the thought of Raymond reminding him, it was nice seeing that he cared.

     Ty took two pills and swallowed them dry. He brushed his teeth then grabbed his school bag and his phone, and exited his dorm. He was greeted once again by Raymond, who was also leaving his dorm. They walked into the common room side-by-side, students were starting to gather in the kitchen.

     Ty had been playing a game on his phone when there was a sudden screech from the kitchen. His head immediately turned to the commotion, along with Raymond, but it had only been Oliver. He stood with his arms holding out his shirt, which was stained with coffee.

"Shit! This will never come out!" Oliver said in defeat. "And now I have to go change." He grumbled and left the kitchen, heading towards the stairs. Jenna and Vivi had helped clean up the coffee that spilled on the floor as the rest of the students only laughed or continued with their conversations.

     Raymond rolled his eyes and turned his attention back to his phone. Ty's eyes lingered for a moment, focusing on Raymond's features. The way his dark hair fell over his bright orange eyes, how his strong jawline was dotted with a few freckles here and there. He was snapped out of his trance when Raymond turned to face him, a confused scowl played on his face.

"Hey, moron, what are you staring at?" His eyes slanted. Ty flinched slightly as his face turned a crimson shade.

"S-sorry, lost in thought I guess..." Ty bit his lip and his eyes darted back to his phone screen, which had turned off.

"Fucking whatever.... your face is a tomato." Raymond clicked his tongue and turned his attention back to his own phone.

Ty was mentally cursing at himself, he stared mindlessly at his phone screen as his eyebrows stitched in the slightest. 'Ugh... I am idiot....' he turned off his phone and stood up, but his mind immediately became foggy and lightheaded.

"W-whoa...." Ty held one hand to his head as his other was held out in the case that he would fall.

"What?" Raymond's aggressive response softened at the end, seeing that Ty wasn't alright.

"Just a.... l-little dizzy..." Ty slowly sat back down, his feet stumbling as he did so. He put his face in his palms, Raymond only sat still.

"Uh... you good?" Raymond finally said. Ty nodded, his face still hidden by his hands. "Seriously, because I don't need to be carrying you to the hospital wing if you pass out."

"Yeah, yeah, I'm fine bro." Ty lifted his head, then stood up again. This time he didn't feel lightheaded. "I guess I just stood up too fast." He laughed lightly.

"Tch, dumbass." Raymond shook his head. Ty shrugged and walked to the kitchen, reaching through the small crowd of students to grab a glass.

Not long after, it was time for the students to start walking to school. Ty glanced at the clock, then took a sip of his water and grabbed his bag. He stood by the door for a moment, waiting for his friends, but Raymond walked by him, he wouldn't wait for them. Pip and Matthew approached Ty with the usual cheesy smiles plastered on their faces. When Harrison finally exited, the four started walking towards the school.

The school day went on normally, nothing too special. Ty would occasionally find himself drifting off in class, he would always find himself thinking of Raymond. This new crush thing was going to cause himself some trouble if he kept thinking of him constantly.
