Until I Met You (TomTord Highschool AU)

Chapter 1: New Country, New School

    Tords P.O.V

I blinked awake as the familiar beeping of my alarm clock woke me up from my peaceful sleep. "Ugh...and I was having a great dream too." I whined, rubbing my eyes. I reached my arm out and turned off my alarm. Today was the first day of sophomore year. In a new country. Terrific.

I swung my legs off the side of the bed and grabbed my signature red hoodie. I slipped it on over my usual grey t-shirt and put on some black jeans along with black converses. I walked downstairs to see my dads sitting at the table. Yeah. I have gay dads. "Mm..morning dads." I said half asleep. "Good morning, Tord. Sleep well?" Patryck asked.

"Eh..I guess." I said sitting down. "Oh, Uncle Pay made some pancakes before he left for work if you want some." Paul Offered. "Nah..I'm pretty sure anything he makes is either poisonous or just inedible." I stated, grabbing a box of Cheerios.

"Oh, don't be like that Tord. Your uncle just wanted to do something nice." Patryk defended. "I doubt that.." I muttered. I sat down at the table and poured some milk into the bowl. "Are you excited for your first day?" Paul asked. "I guess...I heard that there are a lot of stuck up kids though." I rolled my eyes, taking a spoonful of cereal.

"Oh don't pay any attention to them. I'm sure you'll find someone to be friends with." Paul added. "I sure hope so..." I sighed.

Tom's P.O.V

I jumped out of my bed, sweating. Another nightmare..ugh. I really have to stop watching "Insane Zombie Pirates from Hell" before bed.. I looked to the side and grabbed my phone.

8:15

"Crap!! I'm late!!" I yelled. I grabbed my dark blue hoodie, slipped on my checkered shoes and ran downstairs. I grabbed a banana and my backpack. I turned to my mom and picked her up. I gave her a kiss on her...I don't know actually. Do bowling balls have cheeks? Eh. "Bye mom! I'll see you later." I said putting her down. I ran out the door and grabbed my black and blue skateboard.

I pushed through the doors and ran towards my locker, only to be stopped by Eduardo and his so called 'friends'. "Heya, freak. Ready for a repeat of last year? This is gonna be fun." Eduardo growled. He shoved me against a locker, grabbing me by my hoodie. "H-hey!! Let me go!!" I struggled against his grip, but I guess I was too tired to really give a crap.

Tord's P.O.V

I walked down the hallway trying to find my locker. I looked down at my slip with my locker number and code on it.

Locker 8 11-41-25

I turned the corner to see 3 guys shoving a shorter kid against the lockers. I sighed. I picked up my pace towards the scene and shoved the two guys apart. "Leave him alone." I glared at him. "Don't talk to Eduardo that way!!" One of his friends yelled. His name is Eduardo eh?

"Who do you think you are interrupting me like that?" Eduardo asked. "The name's Tord." I simply said. "That's who I am." I looked over to the other kid who was being bullied. He...has no eyes? Huh. Interesting. "Meet me outside at lunch. I'm going to teach you a lesson." Eduardo said as he and his goons left.

I rolled my eyes. I wasn't scared of him. Sure, he was pretty muscular, but I was at least 2 inches taller than him. Plus, there is no way he knows how to fight like I learned in red army training.

I looked to the eyeless boy. "Are you okay?" I asked. He looked up at me. I swore I saw him blushing, but that probably was just my imagination. "Y-Yeah.." He said looking down. "I'm Tord." I said, offering my hand. He looked up at me and smiled a bit. "Yeah..I know. Um..I'm tom." He said. He put out his hand and we shook.

I bit my lip as we let go. "Do you happen to know where locker 8 is?" I asked. "Oh, yeah. I'm locker 7. I'll show you the way." He said taking my hand. I followed him through the long corridor until we finally reached the lockers. "Here we are." He said. He let go of my hand.

I looked at him and smiled. "Thanks." I said, turning the dial. I was struggling to open the locker, being that it was much different from Norway's lockers. "What's your combination?" Tom asked. "Um. 11-41-25" I replied. "Okay." Tom turned the dial and opened my locker for me. "Not from here, huh?" He asked.

"Yeah..My family and I moved here from Norway." I said, putting my bag in the locker. "Ah. That explains that cute accent." He said. Cute..? What..? I could feel my cheeks heat up.

Tom's P.O.V

Finally. Someone nice. Maybe he could be my friend? It seems that way so far. And not to mention, he is hot. The bell rung. I sighed. Time for class. "What class do you have first?" Tord asked. "Um..." I checked my schedule. "I have science first." I replied. "Cool! So do I." Tord smiled. Yes! "Alright, lets go then." I said.

We walked towards the science lab. I just remembered. "Hey, Tord? You're not really gonna fight Eduardo, are you?" I asked, concerned. "What? Of course I am. I can't back out now." He said. "Tord...you don't know what he's capable of." I said. "Well, you don't know what I'm capable of either." He simply said.

Wow. "Alright then...I'll come watch you just in case I need to call the nurse.." I said. "Thanks, Tom." He said, side hugging me. "You're a great guy, you know that?" He asked. Oh. My. Jehovah. WHAT. "R-really? Thanks.." I stuttered.

"No problem." He smiled. "Hey, if it's alright with you and your parents, do you wanna come to my house after school?" Tord asked. WOW. IS THIS REALLY HAPPENING?! "Yeah, sure." I said smiling. I pretty much mentally exploded.

We arrived in front of the science lab and we went in. I looked over the sea of children to find Eduardo and his friends. "Great.." I sighed. "Eh, don't pay any attention to them." He said sitting down. I sat down next to him and took out my science book. Tord looked at me, confused. "Where do we get a science book?" He asked.

I grabbed a book from under his seat and gave it to him. "Right there." I said pointing under his chair, giggling. "Wow. I'm stupid." He laughed. I blushed. His laugh is so cute.

(Ah! The first chapter! Hope you all enjoyed!!)
