Chapter 5

Dinner continues as normal, but your eyes keep going back to Tommy. He is actually really sweet in real life, very different than on stream. The conversation consists of Sheryl talking about her new job, America, and hobbies. As dinner comes to an end, the topic of school gets brought up.

"So, Y/N, what grade are you in?"

"Oh I am a junior, I mean 11th!"

"Yeah, so we're at the same school, right mum?"

"Should be! Are you nervous Y/N?"

"Uh, I mean a little. It is a completely new school and I don't know anyone really, and-"

You start to get anxious and flustered. Sheryl notices and is about to jump in, but Tommy beats her to it.

"Well, you know me! If you want, I could show you around the school, tonight. There is a tournament for some sport, so it's open until 11! If you want,"

Sheryl notices you, still nervous, so she responds for you.

"That would be wonderful, Tommy, thank you!"

Sheryl nudges you, urging a response.

"Yeah, that would actually be really helpful!"

You smile towards Tommy and he returns the gesture. The conversation dies down as everyone finishes their dessert and begins to clean up. You are rinsing dishes, Tommy is helping you, and the adults are putting everything away. You can't help but get nervous whenever Tommy's hand brushes yours. You know you just met him, but you really liked him. As a friend of course, but still, it was really cool getting to meet him. After everything is put away, Sheryl says goodbye to the group. You had forgotten about going to the school tonight, until Sheryl looks at you funny when you start to follow her out.

"Where are you going? I thought you and Tommy were going to the school tonight?"

"Oh yeah, must've slipped my mind! Sorry about that. I'll text you when I am on my way home Sheryl!"

You immediately regret saying that. You called her by her first name. You wanted the neighbors to see you as normal, someone with a mom, but now it's ruined. But you get pulled out of your thoughts, once again, when Tommy asks you something.

"Hey, Y/N! Is it okay if we go upstairs for a few minutes before we head to the school? I have to message some of my friends. You can stay down here if you want, though!"

"No, it's okay, I'll go upstairs with you!'

It sounded weird "with you".  Why'd you put emphasis on that? Well, it is too late now. You both walk up the stairs. He is a lot taller than you, so he takes a few steps at a time. He gets to the top, while you're only about halfway up. You hear him stifle a laugh and playfully glare at him.

"Hey! It isn't my fault you are a giant!"

"Nope, I think you are just short!"

He laughs and you playfully roll your eyes. You make it to the top and you both walk into his room. You stand there awkwardly as he sits at his desk. He looks towards you,

"You can sit on the bed, you don't have to stand!"

"Thanks haha, I am tired."

He turns his chair to look at you, his eyes looking as though they can see through you.

"We don't have to go to the school if you're tired! I can always help you during the day tomorrow?"

"No, I want to go tonight! I am just a bit stressed I think."
