"Well done class! I'll see you all after the break, make sure you get your work done before the first day back please!" Mr Wilson says to the class
I let out an audible groan at the thought of having to do homework over break. They call it break for a reason, we're meant to be resting and doing nothing, not stuck inside finishing off homework.
"Yo Ty let's get out of here quickly, I don't want to see another one of these guys faces until it's necessary," Jackson says dragging me by the arm and out the classroom
"I have gotten work from literally every lesson today for after the break, do they not know I have camp to go too as well?" I complain throwing my hands up in frustration
"You're the one who signed up to be a soccer player miss youngster national player" He jokes shoving my shoulder with his own
"and some times I bloody regret that I feel like there's no time in the day to actually do anything, I'm like constantly busy!" I groan out again
"Come on you, we're goong to have some greedy food before Dawn is busting your ass again," Jackson tells me with a smirk and leads me out the school building and to his car.
We drive towards a drive-through and order way too much food for the both of us buts it's last day of term who cares right now and drive to our spot overlooking part of the town.
"So what are you going to be doing while I'm away kicking butt?" I ask my best friend
"I don't know, probably hang out with Dylan for a bit, maybe take a trip with him somewhere" He shrugs out taking a huge bite of his burger
"You guys are still my OTP, do you know how long I spend getting you two together?" I tell the boy
"Yes I do Tyler because you remind of it on the daily," He says sarcastically
"I don't know why I'm getting such a hostile reply from you Jackson, I saved your closeted gay ass from being miserable for the rest of its life" I counter-argue back.
"Okay, I'm wounded, I would have eventually asked him" Jackson scoffs out and I can hear the straight-up lie in his voice
"Yeah and a pigs just flown by, " he chokes on his food at that making us both burst out laughing
"if we're talking about gay asses, how are you and Miss Heath getting on?" Jackson asks me.
Where to start on that one Jackson, where to start. Tobin is all the way in Portland playing for the Thorns having the time of her life with my best friends while I'm still stuck in high school trying to figure out the equation for x and how Napoleon died.
I miss her all the time, even though we facetime most nights and talk throughout the day it's not the same as being snuggled up in bed with her. We only get time to do it when we have camps or I finish school for a couple of weeks and can go stay with her.
"Still together Jackson, how I don't know, I thought she'd be bored of me by now but apparently not," I say in a joking voice trying to hide the little bit of truth behind my words
Jackson knows me too well though because he wraps his arm around my shoulder and pulls me closer to him
"Tobin is madly in love with you Tyler, a blind person could see that, stop worrying that she'll get bored of you, nobody could get bored of your crazy ass" He says joking at the end a little but I'm grateful to have a friend like Jackson in my life.
I have friends don't get me wrong, I can say hello to them in the street or the corridor, and I have ones who I sit by at lunch sometimes and chat about random stuff in lessons but nobody quite like Jackosn. We have been in each other lives since forever and we know the other like the back of our hands.
