Thank you again :)

Tord didn't feel like getting up. Ever since he woke up he just laid there in bed on his side, completely motionless. Staring at his blank white wall over thinking about the consequesnces of his current actions. Was it his fault? No. They're over reacting.

And with that, he wiped his tears and got up. Tord changed his red sweater for a white tee and a yellow zip-up jacket but left it open. He then proceeds to replace his blue sweat pants for blue ripped jeans. He placed his hand onto the handle of his door. It's been 4 days since he left his room, and talked to any one. He hesitated for a couple seconds before finally taking a deep breath and left.

Nobody was in the hallway. So they're either downstairs or in their room. Tord quietly walked half way down the stairs and peaked over to look if anybody was there. He saw nobody in the living room, but he doubts anybody would be in the kitchen.

He made his way towards the front door. "Tord?" Tord froze in place. He turned around and saw Edd, Matt and Tom playing Uno on the floor.

Seeing them together made a memory flash. How much they all meant to him and how much he cared about them. What a waste of time.

Tord gave them a death glare, then continued to walk towards the door, only this time he's not hiding. "Tord? Hey, we're sorry-"

"I'm not sorry."

"Me and Matt are sorry. We didn't think you'd-

Tord turned around and and continued to angerly look at them in the most pissed off face not even Tom has seen. "What? You didn't think I'd what?" Edd looked down. "Hear.. Or, known about what we said..." "Tch."

Tord ignored them and left out the door.

The three had an uncomfortable awkward silence. "Do you think he'll forgive us soon? We've never fought before.." Tom scoffed. "He's stubborn, yes. But he'll come around eventually. Trust me, I've fought with him for years." Edd sighed. "Tom, you're the reason why he's upset. You should talk to him." Tom growled. "How is it MY fault?" Edd picked up his stack of cards. "You're the one who brought it up and started thay conversation. If it weren't for you and your big mouth just to prove him wrong, we wouldn't be in this situation."

"We could have lied to him. Say that we never thought or talked badly about him. Tom would have known we were lying, but Tord wouldn't. Both sides would have been happier that way." Matt said. Edd thought for a bit, and then nodded in agreement. "It doesn't matter if he's right or not. What happened happened and I'm not gonna apoligize for something he did.

Tord's pov

I don't need them I'm my own man. I'm a grown man who doesn't need anybody. No friends, no parents, no Edd, no Matt, and especially no Tom.

God I am so lonely.

As I continued my walk to somewhere, I looked around the town at all of the places I could go to, and one seemed to catch my eye. It was a fairly small building with two doors and a big window showing the inside. I am a bit hungry, I haven't eaten in a while. I walked into the resaurant and waited at the front.

After being told where to sit and what to drink, I went to grab a plate and get my food. As I was getting some food, I heard a lot of chatting. I looked to a table in the corner and saw a large group of people eating and talking, and one of them was using chopsticks.

I could teach myself how to use it. I'm smart.

I went and got myself some sushi and a red small bag that held chopsticks within it. I walked over to my table that the waitress had set my coke at and sat down all alone.

A pretty sad sight to see compared to the probably 10-12 people talking. I'm not gonna stare though because that's rude. I may have been slightly annoying for some reason for Edd, Matt and Tom but that doesn't mean I don't have manners.

I took the chopsticks out and broke the two apart. I grabbed both and stared at them not knowing what to do next. I used one and stabbed the sushi with it. I then lift it up to my mouth and used it as a fork. I started getting odd looks from the other table and even some waitresses so I put the chopsticks down slowly and switched to a fork and ate the other food I got.

No pov

Eventually Tord had to use the bathroom so he got up and left. But when he came back, he found a small piece of paper with fortune cookies and a little note on the side. He opened it up and read the paper on the inside of the cookie.

'You will die alone and poorly dressed'

Tord sighed. He grabbed his wallet and put the money down and then grabbed the small note and read it.

Hey, I noticed you were using chopsticks the wrong way and that was pretty embarassing to watch. If you need help learning, I'll be available any time from 2:30 to 12:00. I won't mind teaching you :)

If you ever stop by, then you could adk for my name which is Ryan. If you want to contact me before meeting up, here's my number: ~~~~~~
I know we haven't met yet, but I really don't want you to be attacked for using chopsticks the wrong way in public.
Have a good afternoon!

Wow what an embarassment indeed. Tord groaned and left with the note in his hand.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tord groaned in annoyance as Ryan chuckled. "Here." Ryan grabbed Tord's hand and placed his fingers in the correct spot. "Now try and pick up the noodles using the chopsticks."

"So, Tord just replaced us with that guy. Huh." Edd sighed. Tom stood in silence, staring at the sight of Tord and the guy he paid to help teach him how to use chopsticks.

It was part of his list. He had to.
