Odd Ones Out (MINICAT)

♡Chapter twenty-eight♡

Craig's pov (play when said)

*one week later*

It was starting to become quite warm outside now which meant that I could start using my balcony again!

I know it sounds stupid to get excited over a balcony but it's who I am. I always sat in my swinging bench I bought when I first moved and it was like my new home inside my actually home. Sounds funny but it's true. If I wasn't inside my apartment I was on the balcony, which meant like all the time.

We only had about two more months of school left and since Tyler and I are in grade 12 we would need to start applying for colleges. I already had my eyes on a few places I could go for performing arts but they were all either across the country, ten or more hours away or in a totally different country. So it was gonna be hard to find one close to here. Tyler was doing the same as we were hoping to get into the same one but with how different Tyler and I are, there's a pretty low chance of that happening.

He wanted to pursue his writing. I had read quite a bit of what he can do and it's actually really good, so I support him. Not saying I wouldn't if he wasn't good I still would but there's actually a pretty good chance anywhere he applies they will take him. Plus he could get in with a football scholarship as he is the quarterback for the team. I've watched him play a few times and he's good so that wouldn't surprise me either. But for me it might be hard.

Getting into a performing arts school isn't easy. Only the best of the best get in, and I don't think I was that good. I mean yes I can play moonlight sonata third movement faster then original but so can many others. I'm just one little person out of millions.

"Craig? What are you doing out here it's two in the morning." Tyler questions as he steps out onto the balcony. He leans against the door frame and looks to me as I look up at the stars. "Just thinking about college." I reply. I hear him sigh before feeling the bench cushions swift making me lean against him as he sat beside me.

"Even though I have yet to hear you play Craig, you're good okay?" He tells me. I sigh. "Good isn't enough though." I reply as he rests his hand on my knee. "How would you know?" He asks cocking his eyebrow at me. I shrug and look out over the city. "Exactly." He adds as I stay silent.

"We have school in-" He looks down at his phone and turns it on then looks back to me. "Seven hours." He finishes. I sigh heavily then get up. "Then let's go, I wanna get to school early so I can practice some more." I say. He stands up also as we both walk back into the small apartment we lived in.

Once we walk into our room Tyler face plants into the bed making me giggle softly. "Tired?" I ask well getting under the covers and getting comfortable. Tyler only hums in response as he wraps his arms around my waist and pulls me back towards him.

"Can you wake up me too when you get up?" He whispers. I chuckle lightly and play with his hand that rested on my hip. "Sure, but why?" I question well swifting slightly before relaxing. "Because I wanna hear you play, is that so bad?" I giggle and interlock our fingers together.

"Okay Ty, I'll make sure to wake you up. Goodnight." He replies with a goodnight himself before light snores are heard from him. I sigh myself and beginning falling asleep.

"I'm gonna go to Starbucks quickly actually babe, Vanilla frappe right?" He asks well playing with his keys. I giggle and nod making him smile. "K then I'll be back in about ten minutes." He kisses my forehead then leaves the music room.

"You guys are too cute." Rose says, or Mrs. Brown. She had told Tyler and I her name but only let us call her by it when alone with her. She only told us because she felt bad about finding out about Tyler and I being together so she told us.
