Odd Ones Out (MINICAT)

♡Chapter three; Day two♡

Craig's POV

The whole morning all Tyler has been doing is reading the fault in our stars behind a few shelves away from me. I found the teachers lounge early this morning and made myself some nice hot coffee. Tyler said he didn't drink coffee which almost made me want to throw the boiling hot water at him but I didn't, cause I'm nice like that.

It was about quarter past twelve now, nothing was really happening. I tried contacting Jonathan and Brock but to no use as I couldn't get a signal neither could Tyler, he said he tried texting Evan and it wouldn't send.

"Have you ever been stargazing?!" Tyler shouts from across the library. I cock my eyebrow in his direction and shut the book I was reading. "No why?!" I shout back. I hear him get up then see him walking towards me and sits down on the floor in front of me. "I've always wanted too." I hum and open my book back up. "Why don't you?" I ask, not looking away from the words written on the page. "Because I want to go with someone, not alone." I look up at him and lock eyes with him. "Why not take Kelly?" I cock an eyebrow. "I want to go with someone that I care about." I giggle. "Does that mean you don't care about Kelly?" His cheeks turn slightly red causing me to laugh more. "S-shut up." He stutters and looks away, I giggle and go back to reading.

"If you want I'll go." Tyler turns his head to me from the book shelf and cocks an eyebrow. "Huh?" I chuckle and sit up straight. "I'll go stargazing with you." His eyes widen a bit then soften. "Okay. When we get out of here we'll go." He smiles and walks over to me and sits beside me. "I know this amazing place we could go, you know where maplewood park is?" I hum and nod. "There's a clearing in the forest somewhere that would be perfect for stargazing." I giggle and playfully hit his arm. "You seem to have this planned out don't you?" He chuckles and rubs the back of his neck. "I guess.." he replies. I giggle and get up, stretching my arms out.

"Why haven't I seen you in any of my classes if we have almost everyone together? Tyler asks. I look back to him and shrug. "Probably because you don't pay attention." He chuckles and gets up also. "Wanna do something?" He asks well placing his hands on my shoulders. I raise my eyebrow and brush his hands off me. "What?" I reply. "We should go around the school and see if any of the classrooms are unlocked." I chuckle and make a weird face at him. "And do what?" I ask. Tyler chuckles and steps back from me. "I don't know, whatever I guess." "Okay let's do it!" I exclaim. We both laugh and make our way out of the library and down the halls, trying to open doors that lend into classrooms.

--------------------------------------------------------------

"Hey! I got one!" I yell out to Tyler. "Wait for me!" I giggle as I see him running to me. Once he was close I open the door and walk in, Tyler following close behind. "It's literally a normal classroom Ty, why are we doing this again?" I ask as I lean against the teachers desk and look over to him. "Gives us something to do, better then sitting in a library all day reading books." I shrug and look around, seeing desks, chairs on top of the desks, bookshelves at the far back of the room, filled with textbooks. "Well I would honestly rather be reading then watching you look around a classroom." He stands up straight and looks at me. "Well Craig, we are completely different people. What interests you may not interest me." He points at me then himself, I giggle as I hop up onto the desk, waving my legs back and forth. "Well, what interests you Tyler?" I ask looking back up at him, raising my eyebrow. "Writing, I write a lot about my feelings, reading too now." He comes over to me and leans back against the desk right beside me.

"Can I ask something?" Tyler turns his head to me, cocking his eyebrow. "Of course." He replies. "Have you thought about being with a guy?" I turn my head away from him, not really wanting to know his answer. "I mean, yes, recently yes." My eyes widen a bit as I look back to him. "What do you mean recently?" He chuckles and walks away from me, going towards the door. "Why don't we see if the locker room is unlocked?" I shrug and push myself off the desk and towards him.
