Lightning - Troyler AU

Chapter 1: Thick Frames

Troyes POV

I feel like summer break started 2 days ago. Now is not the time to get back to school. I go to some expensive boarding school called Jame Olds somewhere on the outskirts of the city. It certainly would be a lot worse if I wasn't considered school royalty, but that doesn't mean I enjoy being there. Two years ago- I was on the sidelines, like most of the school still is. I would be lying if I said I knew why I was so famous to the teens here. It happened gradually, and before I knew it, everyone here looked up to me. Not just me though, me and my friends- Caspar and Connor.

Connor and I met in grade 6, we've been pretty good friends since then. During freshman year, we met Caspar. The two of them are the only people in the school who know I'm gay- though, so is Connor. It's been that way ever since and I'm super grateful I have such close friends.

I groaned when I got out of bed, scratching my head and stretching my limbs, stumbling my way towards the bathroom. Ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew. I look disgusting. My hair is a mess and my skin is greasy as fuck. I got a shower, blowdried and quiffed my hair, changing into some black skinnies and a grey 'Life Without Andy' jumper.

"Troye! Hurry up!" My mum yelled from downstairs. "We were supposed to have left the house 20 minutes ago!"

"I'm coming mum!" I shouted back at her, running down the stairs with my luggage thumping behind me.

"Troye Sivan Mellet! Be careful with that suitcase! It will damage the stairs!" Mum yelled once again.

I groaned. "I'm right here, stop yelling!"

We hurried off into the car and we were Jame Olds about an hour later.

"I'm going to miss you so much, Troye." She told whispered to me- her eyes glistening with fresh tears.

"Mom, you have 2 other children at home and one in university only a few hours away, calm down." I grinned and she just glared at me. "I'll come home on the weekends, okay?"

"Okay." I would miss her, but I'll still see her quite often. I'll miss her cooking every night, but at least the school doesn't sell sludge like other schools. You get what you pay for, and we happen to pay a lot.

We hugged goodbye and I got my room key, analyzing it only enough for me to recognize which area it's in. Wing B, on the edge of campus. Perfect.

I made it to my room, casually whistling when I opened the door, throwing my stuff on the top bunk of one of the two beds in total on either side of the room.

"That's my bed, thanks." A voice said from behind me. I yelped, startled at the sudden sound. He giggled.

"So I guess we're room-" I started saying while turning around, but stopping mid sentence when I actually laid my eyes on him.

Oh my.

Who is he? Why have I not seen this boy before? His giant blue eyes behind these thick framed glasses that covered his face adorably. His smile was contagious and his teeth were so straight and pearly white. He was short but he wasn't super skinny and lanky like myself; everything about him screamed cute- I could stare at him for hours. But that's not all though, to top it all off, his hair is my favourite shade of blue.

"Stop staring at me." He blushed and looked down at the ground. "I know I'm weird looking okay. I don't need popular people like you looking down at me."

Is he really that self conscious? He shouldn't be. He's super adorable that's for sure. "No it's not that, it's-" I cut myself off. I was about to call him cute. Straight guys don't call other guys cute. "I just like the shade of blue your hair is." Nice save. I mentally face palmed. "Here, you can have your top bunk back, I'll have the top on the other side of the room." I smiled pulling my bag back down and throwing it onto the other bed, trying to make the conversation less awkward.

He chuckled. "I'm Tyler, by the way. Tyler Oakley." I stuck out my hand to his and he took it, shaking it awkwardly. "Uh okay. I guess I'll leave you alone to unpack." Tyler said as he awkwardly shuffled to the door and opened it. "Bye, Troye," he spoke and shut it behind him.

This is going to be a very rough year.

MY BABIESSSSS! As you can tell, I've started a new fic. I'm really interested in where this is going and I hope to see good things happen in the future for this (I sound like I'm sending my first child to college)

If you didn't already hear, I'm putting my other fic on a short break because I really wanna start up this one and I can't do both at once because I procrastinate and have school and stuff.

Thanks for reading guys and tell me what you think of this new fic?
