General POV
They spent the whole night texting about everything. About school, family, music, books, life in general. Then, they started talking about her.
"So, who's your boyfriend?"
"Oh, he's this guy named Sauli. Sauli Koskinen."
He knew Sauli. They went to school together. He was never in any of his classes. They said an occasional 'hello.' Tommy never had a problem with the guyl. Now, he wanted to kill him.
"Yeah, I know who he is. He's sweet."
"Yeah, he's amazing. Everything I could've asked for."
This made his heart break a little inside.
"That's great for you. I'm glad you're happy."
"Yeah. Now what about you? A guyl like you shouldn't be roaming these halls of hell alone."
"Nope. I've been single for a long time. The only real "boyfriend" I had was for three days in the sixth grade, because my best friend dared him to go out with me 'cause I had this huge crush on him."
"LOL. That's hilarious. But ridiculous. You need some man candy."
"Are you turning into my best friend right now? Ashley's always like, 'Tommy, you need a man!'"
"I guess I am. Well, I better hit the sack."
He looked at his clock. It was 2:38 in the morning.
"Yeah, me too. Goodnight Adam."
"Night, Tommy."
The next morning
Tommy gets up at his obnoxious 5:15 alarm and gets up. He groggily gets ready and pours his coffee and goes on the bus. He sits next to his best friend, Ashley.
"Morning, Tommy!"
"Why are you so happy?"
"Why not?"
"It's too early in the morning to be this happy"
"Well, I guess, but.."
"Damn it Ashley, lay off the drugs."
"Shut up, bitch!"
They start to laugh and pull up to Mt. Carmel High. They get off and Tommy goes to band. Yeah, he knows. Tommy's a clarinet nerd. Deal with it. He leaves and walks off to English with his teacher (who everyone hates and believes is the spawn of Satan) and there he is. Sitting there talking to Danielle Stori, his best friend. He sits down right by him, since there are no assigned seats.
"Hey."
"Why hello, Mr. Ratliff. I was waiting for you to come to our 'lovely' english class."
"Oh, really? Am I the most interesting part of your day?"
"No. Not at all"
"That was rude."
"Well am I the most exciting part of your day?"
Yes. "No."
"Exactly. I actually have something for you."
"Oh, you do?"
"I do."
He starts rummaging through his backpack and find a crumbled piece of loose leaf and hands it to her.
"What is this?"
"It's a list of all the available gay guys in the grade. If I were you, I would go for Sutan Armul. He's really smart."
"You did this for me?"
"Yeah, I was bored last night."
"And Sutan Armul? He's so popular. I could never get with him."
"Why not. Here. He's across the room. Go talk to him."
He gets up, and freezes in his tracks.
"Tommy, do you want me to go with you?"
"Yes, please."
They walk over to Sutan and Adam starts going.
"Sutan, this is Tommy. Tommy, this is Sutan. There! You're friends." Then he walks away.
He just wishes he could turn around and run to him, but he knows that will never happen.
