~ Friends Forever? ~ {Discontinued}

~Chapter 1~

Staring out of his window, Connor smirked knowing that it is the best season of the year. It isn't too hot or too cold. During this time he can wear his most favorite piece of clothing: a sweater. There is nothing like the perfect sweater.

Conner rolled off of his bed with his shiny, layered, light brown, shoulder-length hair which beautifully followed him as he walked over to his closet. His closet had a giant mirror that slid open, and also had an orange cat sticker on it. As he reached his closet he looked at his soft body features. He had some muscles, a light peach skin tone, oval ocean blue eyes, an upward nose that is slightly blushed, and an endomorph body. He wasn't too fond of his body form, but no matter how much he tried to work out or change his diet, it wouldn't affect his form.

"Can you not hear me or something?" Connor's sister, Audrey, aggressively knocked on Conner's door. "I said WAKE UP!"

¨I'm up!! I'm just getting ready for school!!¨ Conner said while opening his make-up drawer. Conner can never leave his house without some extra blush and some highlighter on his nose and cheeks.

Conner took out his elf blush palette (he can never have too many blush shades), and put some dark reddish-pink cream blush under his nose and some on his cheek bones. He then used the diamond highlighter by Colourpop on the edge of his nose, the top of his cheek bones, and the inner corner of his eyes. Conner always loved how his skin is super clear so it seems like he is wearing foundation, so he never has to spend $50 on some good foundation from morphine.

After perfecting his face, not like he needs to, he closes his make-up drawer

" School starts in 20 minutes, so hurry up and go downstairs to eat your breakfast.¨ Audrey said, barging into Conner's room. Audrey had a thin body structure. She had the same hair texture as Conner, but she had dyed her hair a rouge red. She was wearing a black crop-top and light blue yoga pants.

"Okay, but I need to put clothing on!! Do you not see me in my boxers and a tank top?" Conner asks his sister bluntly while shoving her out of his room.

Finally, I can change into my school clothing. I have something special planned for today! Conner thought to himself blissfully. Walking up to his closet once again, he slid open the sliding door to reveal his collection of sweaters. Conner had it organized in rainbow order, which is how he liked all of his room organized. Looking in the orange color section, he chose a warm orange sweater that reminded him of the fall leaves on the ground. When he pulled out the sweater he saw that it had a cute cartoon of a bunch of leaves about three inches down from the neck of the hoodie. This is perfect! Conner goes over to his dresser and grabs a pair of black ripped skinny jeans to wear and slides them on.

" CONNOR COME DOWN STAIRS NOW!" Audrey yelled from downstairs.

¨I'm coming!! Let me get myself together!!! My god!¨ Conner yelled back at his sister. Conner runs towards his bedroom door, but trips over his own feet and slams his head into the door. SLAM!

¨CONNER! WHAT IN THE WORLD ARE YOU DOING?!?¨ Conner heard his sister call out for him from downstairs. ¨CONNER!! YOU BETTER BE NOT PANICKING OVER SOME HOT GIRL THAT YOU SAW OUTSIDE OR SOMETHING!!¨

Conner panicked as soon as his sister said this.

¨WHY WOULD YOU THINK THAT?? I JUST TRIPPED AND HIT MY HEAD! AND WHAT MADE YOU CONNECT ME FALLING, TO ME SEEING A HOT GIRL?!¨ Conner angrily yelled at his sister while he got up from the floor, very very dizzy. Once Conner got up, his phone rang, but the ringtone was different from the ordinary one. As soon as he heard the ringtone he knew it was his best friend, Aaron.

Aaron and Connor have known each other since kindergarten, and now they are both juniors in high school. They are like family to each other; they both pretty much knew all of each other's family members. Aaron's family all had dark brown hair, a tan skin tone and light brown eyes, but Aaron is the only one in the family who has light blueish-gray eyes. Aaron is different from the rest of his family. Everyone is loud and confident, but Aaron is very quiet and shy unless he knows a certain person very well. Both Aaron and Conner hang out with 3 people: themselves and their other best friend Scra. Both of them have only known Scra for two years, but they really trust him. He just gives off that trusting vibe. Aaron has one other friend names Eliza that he has known since 6th grade, he just doesn't hang out with her as much as he does with Scra and Connor.

Conner rushed over to his phone that was resting on his dresser, where he did his make up, to answer the call.

"Conner!!" Aaron announced through the phone. "Guess what!"

"What?" Conner answered with a monotone voice.

"I'm outside your house!!¨

"WHAT?!" Conner began to sprint over to his bedroom window to check if Aaron was actually outside. He was.

"I'm out-"
"I know, I know, I was just shocked that you would be here. We usually meet up at the corner store or something..."

"Yup, but today I was bored of my home and decided to...wake up early and come over!" Aaron said sarcastically.

"Sure...Audrey!!" Conner began to yell for his sister. "GO OPEN THE DOOR FOR AARON! HE'S HERE!!"

¨SURE, ANYTHING FOR YOU!¨ Audrey said with an attitude while walking to the front door. "What's up Aaron? Conner's up stairs."

"Thanks Audrey."

While Aaron walks upstairs, Connor rushes over to his mirror to attempt fixing his bed hair, but his hair brush is in the bathroom and he has to leave his room for it. Leaving his room means that Aaron will see him while panicking to get ready. Conner's hair refused to be tamed, he needed his hair brush.

"aAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-" Conner yells in frustration but is then cut off by a worried Aaron rushing into his room.

"Conner are you okay?! What happened?" Aaron asked, confused and very worried. Aaron rushed in wearing a green plaid shirt, boot cut jeans and high top black Vans.

Aaaaaaaa nooo Aaron just walked in on me having a breakdown...OVER MY HAIR! What am I going to say to him? I made him worry and he most likely came here early because his dad is drunk again, or that his dad left him home alone! I'm such a bad friend! Conner's thoughts became out of control and soon the world began to cave in on him. It became hard to breathe , dark, and worst of all he couldn't speak. Even if he tried to, his mouth was sealed shut.

Aaron rushed over to Conner and wrapped his arms around him and brought him to his bed. Aaron placed Conner on his bed knowing that he would pass out soon based off of previous experiences with Conner's panic attacks. Aaron hovers over Conner for a minute or so until he decides to lay down next to him on the side of the bed closer to the wall.

His bed feels softer than usual... maybe it's because we weren't just jumping on it and are laying on it out of breath...? Ah, I miss those days. While laying on the bed, Conner continues to recall all the great times they have had together in this room, playing video games, doing school work and sleepovers. All of these memories makes Aaron tear up, he remembers how much fun they had together. Aaron turns over to Conner to make himself more comfortable, when he sees Conner passed out right next to him his whole face becomes warm. Why does he have to be so cute when he sleeps?! Conner played time thought on loop in his as the blush on his face intensifies. Aaaaaa someone save me from this, I want to leave but something is telling me that I have to stay! I need to get over Connor!! I've liked him for like three years, he'll never like me back, and anyway I'm pretty sure that he is straight...right? Aaron admires Conner for a few minutes until he falls asleep, right next to Conner.
