You were waiting outside of your school building for Tommy like usual, but he was taking much longer than he ever had. Thats when you saw her.. 

"Y/n! I am so glad you waited for me! This is Lauren" Tom said to me, he was glowing.

"Hi Y/n! Tommy Boy here has told me so much about you!" Lauren said to you. DID SHE JUST.. NO. She did not just call YOUR tom by YOUR nickname for him. Why did he let her do that?

"H-Hi." You said, you started walk off to your house when tom stopped you

"Why don't you walk with Lauren and I, she is coming to my place after school" your best friend said. 

"Uh- i'm good, I have lots of schoolwork to finish tonight, catch up with you later!" You said as you jogged off. She was really pretty, and so nice. She is definitely better than you in both of those categories. You arrived home quickly and your mom was shocked to see you. 

"Hunny? Where is tom?" 

"Uh, he had something after school. I'll be in my room" you said as you headed up the steps. Y/m/n looked out the front window looking for her younger son and then she sees what her daughter seems to be upset about. Tom Holland walking hand and hand with another girl. She shakes her head in disappointment and goes to make a snack for her kids before getting to work.

Your bedroom window has the amazing benefit where it is right across from tom's bedroom. So late at night you two talk and laugh together. Right now though, it was a burden. You could see right in to Tom and Lauren laughing and joking together. Why would Nikki and Dom allow her to be up there with him by theirselfs?

You decided enough was enough and went to go knock on the Holland's. Nikki answered the door with a smile

"Hi sweetheart, how are you?"

"Hey auntie Nik, is Sam home?" you asked, she looked shocked that you asked for someone other than her oldest son

"Yes sweetie, he is up in his room" 

"Cheers!" you said as you headed up the steep holland steps, you walked past toms room then knocked on the twin's bedroom door. 

"Come in" you heard through the oak door. "mum you don't have to-oh? Y/n? I thought you were mum, what are you doing here?" sam said.

"Can we go cook something? It's for a project." you said, in all honesty you did not even have a class involving food, but you needed your mind of Tom just for a minute.

"Sure?" Sam said with some confusion

-

"Sam! this was a brand new sweater!" The freckled face boy had just thrown flour at you after making a joke about Harry being the better twin. "It was only a joke, you know you are my favorite!" you laughed with sam as the mini pies in the oven were baking nicely. 

"So... what is the real reason you are here, with me, baking?" Sam asked with an eyebrow raised "Does it have to do with the girl Tom brought home?" he looks at you and you can tell he reads you like a book

"Yeah." You say with a breath you did not know you were holding in. "He just, he seems so happy with her and she is so much prettier and nicer than me. So lady like and proper. I am just one of the boys. I feel like I am getting replaced, just a little. I know Tom cares about me, but this Lauren girl is decently going to get more attention than I will get for a while" you said this while twiddling with your fingers.

"Y/n.. you are not getting replaced and I promise you are NOT just one of the boys" Sam said while laughing. I laughed along with him and decide it was his turn for some flour, so you grab a small handful and throw it right into his face. His light freckles now covered by a thick layer of while powder. 

"You are dead y/n!" the boy says while picking you up and spinning you in the air, causing you to laugh and loud at that. So loud that Tom came to check out what was going on. He saw how happy you were and it saddened him a bit. He went back up to Lauren and studying for Chemistry.

-

You went home with four mini pies, one for each member of your family, even your dog Cooper. That night, you looked out your bedroom to see Tom in his room shirtless and smiling at his phone. He hadn't texted you all day. 

You turned your light out, turned your phone off and went to sleep, not wanting tom on your mind. 

Little did you know that Tom had texted you. Asking about your day. It would not deliver since your phone was off so he deleted it and just went to sleep. Thinking about his best friend.
