Sunflower (TomTord)

Mondays

BEEP

BEEP

BEEP

BEEP

The alarm went off, slowly Tord opened his tired, dull eyes knowing it was morning. He groaned, never wanting to going back to school but has to because....parents.
He lazily swung his legs over the bed frame, looking at his mess of a room. Clothes scattered everywhere on the floor, items broken and lost in the mess, and somehow stepping on a Lego piece. yup, today is going to be a shit day.

Standing up and ignoring the pain he went to closet to find any clean clothes that he could use.
A red plain T-shirt some black pants and his regularly used black jacket. After getting dressed Tord came out of his room and into the bathroom.

Avoiding the mirror he brushed his teeth and tried to comb his tangled caramel hair. It was no use to stylize his without looking into the mirror 'Fuck it imma leave it like this' then went back to his room. Getting his shit together (both physically and mentally) Tord swung his backpack over his shoulder, headphones over his neck, and a playlist ready.

Lazily coming downstairs to the kitchen, he saw the pack of lunch his mum made for him. Tord gave a soft smile, knowing his mum still cares for him. Carefully placing for the lunch in his backpack, he headed straight for the door. Locking the door, Tord put on his headphones and selected a song at random.

Save the world - Wolfie's just fine

Walking to the bus stop Tord looks around to see if anything was different, nothing apparently. Humming to the beat and lyrics, raising the volume he drowned out the outside and it's problems. Getting closer to the bus stop something inside him felt like it was telling him something. Like it was telling him to -

'MOVE'

Out of instinct he ran a little bit forward, leaves brushing against his ankles. Startled he looked back to see a fallen tree on the sidewalk, looking up he sees a man with a chainsaw staring back at him; his mouth began to move. Not hearing it Tord took off his headphones.

"-okay, kid?"

Tord nodded

"Now you better be careful there boy, you almost got hit! Make sure to be aware of your surroundings next time, okay?"

Tord nodded

"Alright, be on your way."

Then continued working, Tord put back on his headphones to a different song.

Season 2 Episode 3 - Glass animals

Always gave him a chill feeling, reaching the stop he checked the time 5:06 am
'wow I'm early...for once' with the song being (sorta) mellow and his body tired as fuck, he couldn't help but to close his eyes and catching some rest.
'Fuck it, I can't miss the bus I gotta put something more cheery'
Tord pulled out his phone scrolling through the playlist, picked one, then shoved it back into his pocket.

Chinese new year - SALES

It wasn't one of his favorites but he still liked it. Tord looked around to see if anyone was here, he looked at the houses, getting lost in thought. He felt a poke from his arm, Tord turns around to see Him. Well to be more specific his name is Tom, Thomas Wells. Tom is somewhat popular and respected, he's outgoing, and  has friends unlike Tord but something felt off....

'Why is he here???'

Tom was never in his bus stop or bus in the past year so, why is he here? Its not like he had any business here right?Tom began speak to him, Tord realizes that he has his headphones in and can't hear shit from the outside. Immediately taking the headphones off he looks at Tom confused.

"I-Im sorry. What did you say?"

"When is the bus coming?"

"Oh, um 6:30 why?"

"This is my new bus stop."

"Oh uh ok..cool."

Tord didn't know what else to say after all he was talking to the "popular kid", Tord looks away nervous. He's never good at socializing even as a kid, it always bugs him that he can't make friends nor keep friends. A little while passed and Tord just...slowly put back on his headphones with a different song. Man he's gotta pause next time.

Prom dress - mxmtoon

Tord felt this on a spiritual level, it's one of his favorites, he always felt like running away or crying a lot. He checked his phone for the time (again)" 6:18 am " 'Damn I've should've eaten something before I left'

This is gonna be awhile

. . . . . . . . . .

Getting off the bus, Tord took a good look at the school 'Yup, still shit'

The cool wind blew on Tord's face, the sun peaking through the buildings surrounding the school, Kids stepping out of their jeeps with Starbucks coffee thinking their the baddestbitch on the block.

Going up the steps of the crummy highschool, he was minding his own business until-

"HEY! FOREIGN KID, GET YOUR ASS OVER HERE!"

Nobody ever really cared about remembering Tord's name or ever really stand up for him, cause...

who would stand up for a freak?

Tord, still minding his own business can't hear jackshit because of his headphones, continues to walk up the stairs. A crowd starts forming around him, confused by this he turns around and-

WHAM

Getting a critical hit by your bully is shitty but to add the icing on top was falling face first into concrete stairs was a really fine touch. With his cheek aching, forehead and nose screaming in pain with blood he wonders 'aw shit, is this a monday?'

The kid grabs Tord by his jacket and says "RAT  ME OUT AGAIN FREAK, I will destroy you." venom laced with every word he spoke, even though Tord didn't. He was always targeted for shit like this, always the one to be the scapegoat, always coming home in bruises and bleeding; but he was used to it.

His bully stomps on his spine before walking away, though the bully a.k.a Devin Stephens was always the one to make anyone with a low reputation his personal punching bag, and his target with with a low rep this year was Tord.

Though what Devin said wasn't a threat..

But a promise.
