tom's pov

i sighed uncertainly.

it was the day after the incident and i just stayed at home. i can't bare to look at their faces when they're angry at me.

i've been messaging edd for about an hour now. he hasn't messaged- even saw my texts. my pillow was full of tears and fustration.

i don't really feel like going to school tomorrow. besides, edd and matt were the only reasons i went to school. just to have fun and chill.

tears pricked ny eyes as i closed my phone. making it rest against my chest. i was about to doze off when a buzz was emitted from my phone. i opened my phone and saw the message.

it was from tord.

i held in a breath. why would he message me?

i opened the message.

tord: are u alright? ;((
seen 9:36am

how does he know i'm upset? maybe he found me crying in the alley as he passed by. probably not, he doesn't live near me so why would he pass by there.

tom: i'm fine lol
seen 9:36am

tord: if u say so,, i guess. :/
seen 9:37am

tord: oof, science's starting. gtg byee
seen 9:37am

tom: oh, mkay bye
seen 9:37am

messaging him made my heart flutter. even if i was down in the dumps. his messagss, his sweet smile, those can brighten up my day a little bit.

maybe i could go to school tomorrow. maybe i could be friends with him while waiting for the tension to cool down.

:::

night came, so i decided to message him. i was tryinng not to panic as i was sending a string of texts while hoping he text back.

tom: hey, um
delivered 6:14pm

tom: i was wondering if i could hang out with you tomorrow?
delivered 6:14pm

it was just a few moments when he saw the messages. my breath hitched as he was typing a response. he possibly can't decline me.

well, probably.

tord: yeah that's fine!
seen 6:15pm

my lips curled into a smile as i was internally whopping for joy. my hands were warm as i read the message over and over.

he was going to hang out with me.

i'm hanging out with my crush.

i pray in my mind that hopefully, this won't go wrong.

and boy, i have a feeling it won't.
