Ginger Smoke [a TordMatt story]

First Sight

A first impression can mean so much. Do it wrong and everything is over. Tord was a new student to High school in England. He was definitely nervous seeing as he was new to the place. And honestly the Norwegian was very scared. His bangs covered one of his eyes, he wore a red jacket that was a little too big on him and some shorts.

He grabbed his backpack and quietly walked out his house. He watched the ground as he walked. He knew his English wouldn't be good knowing he came from Norway but he would try his best. Upon making it to the school he head inside.

Tord was very small compared to the rest of the students. Maybe 5'4 max. Yeah he wasn't tall whatsoever compared to everyone else and it made him all the more worried. Bullies were his main fear at the moment, he didn't want to come in contact with one.

The Norwegian didn't pay attention to where he was walking. And as a result of that he ran into a very tall Ginger. He fell to the ground but the ginger didn't. Tord groaned rubbing his head before looking up nervously. The stranger had orange spikey hair, green eyes, and he wore a purple flannel. He also had some jeans. He had a rather shocked expression and went to help the Norski up.

"I am very sorry for not seeing you. "

"It's no problem. Are you alright?"

Tord nodded gently, he fixed his hair and sighed gently. He couldn't believe he ran into such a cute boy.

'Wait did I really say that?'

Tord tried not to blush. He backed up a little from Matt and smiled gently

"Anyways my name is Tord. And you?"

"Names Matt. Nice to meet you Tord, your accent is very cool. Where are you from by the way if you don't mind me asking"

"N-norway. And thanks for compliment "

Both of them chuckled at Tords bad English. It just made Tord cuter than he already was. Matt ran his hand through his bright orange hair, looking down at Tord seeing as he was tall. Maybe 5'11 max. Tord gently rubbed his arm not knowing what to say. It's not that he was speechless but rather he was super introverted. He couldn't handle conversations well without getting embarrassed and running off to hide and be alone. He messed with his hair fixing it back over his eye in his nervous state. Matt tried to strike up a conversation but it didn't work seeing as Tord stuttered when he talked. Matt just found it rather cute. He was very extroverted and wouldn't be afraid to talk his mind.

Tord sighed gently and looked up at Matt. A gentle smile on his face.

"C-can we be friends Matt?"

He hoped that he could gain at least one friend. A friend that could keep him safe from anyone and everyone who wants to hurt him. Matt nodded with a smile and chuckled gently. Tords eyes brightened and sparkled and he thanked him.

'Maybe high school won't be so bad-'

Wrong. Someone walking by noticed the new kid. The schools bully, he pushed Tord into a locker and the boy yelped in pain holding his arm.
The bully chuckled gently and called Tord a loser before walking off to his group of 'friends'

Matt gasped and went to help Tord. Hoping he wasn't hurt to badly, Tord smiled gently at him to show he was completely fine. It would take more than just a push to drive him on the brink of insanity. Then the bell ran to signify it was time to head to class. Both boys were unhappy about it but parted ways to their first class of the day.
