You and Tom are about 16/17 ish years old

"you can do it!"

Tom shouts up at me, as I stand, shaking with terror up on the diving board. It seemed quiet short from the ground, but up here... I don't know that I'll be able to do it.
I look over at Tom who encouraged me to come up here in the first place.

" I don't think I can, Tommy! Can I come down?"

"yeah, jump!"

"no, I can't!"

"just close your eyes and do a jump like you're going off the little board!"

After a few more minutes of procrastination, I squeeze my eyes shut tightly and jump. "

"that was really good!"

Tom says, pulling me into a hug, more excited than I am. My heart flutters a little as he squeezes me tightly.

Later on in the year, Tom was going to go compete in the Olympics, doing what he does best: diving.
But, by doing so, he was going to leave me here by myself to train.

Tom is my best friend, my only proper friend.

"how does lunch sound?"

He asks, letting me go.

I grin at him as he hands me my towel.

"perfect."

We eat our shitty burgers in silence in the only diner, quietly talking about school and tests I may or may not have cheated on.
I watch Tom's face as our waiter comes back with our drinks, feeling a small stab of jealously as Tom flirts his ass off.

We finish soon after and get up to leave.

"hey, you go on ahead, there's something I want to do real quick."

I pull a face and nod.

"you mean someone. See you later, thanks for the help today."

Tom just winks at me and makes his way over to the back of the diner.

I watch his back before leaving, kicking a rubbish bin on my way past, frowning.
