"Tom you've really gotta get over your nerves and just go talk to her!" Haz practically screamed at his best friend when he noticed him staring at Y/n from across the lunchroom. 

"How can I? She's perfect and every time I see her it feels like my heart is going to beat out of my chest!" Tom said and Haz rolled his eyes. 

"There must be some way that you can talk to her," He said but Tom only shrugged. 

"What's up losers?" A voice said and the two boys looked to their right to see their other friend, Christian, sitting down next to him. 

"Tom's just fantasizing about what his and Y/n's kids would look like," Haz said and Tom hit his arm while Christian laughed. 

"Tom when are you not thinking about her?"

"Never," Haz whispered, earning another hit on the arm from Tom. 

"How can you not love her? She's kind, caring, unselfish-" 

"And dating the biggest dick in the school," Christian finished and Haz nodded in agreement. Tom sighed, remembering Y/n's boyfriend, Hugo. He was captain of the football team and a bully. He had no idea what Y/n saw in him.

"I mean seriously, what does she see in him?" Christian continued, Tom didn't respond as he watched Hugo walk up to Y/n and her friends. He sat down next to her and wrapped his arm around her shoulder. Tom couldn't help but notice how uncomfortable she looked and he felt a deep feeling of sadness.

Tom's thoughts were interrupted by the bell ringing, signalling that lunch was almost over. He stood up, surprising his two friends who were still complaining about Hugo. 

"I have to go," Tom said, Chrisitan and Haz nodded, continuing to criticize the jock. 

Tom knew where he was going, it was the last block of the day and one of his favourite teachers, Ms Vandenburg. 

Emma Vandenburg was his Human Relationships teacher, quite young out of all the staff in the building, and the most understanding of students feelings. 

The class wasn't his first choice (it wasn't even his second) but once Tom realised that he shared the class with Y/n, it became his favourite time of the day. He looked forward to seeing her so close to him and hearing her sweet voice when she answered a question. It was a wonder that Tom wasn't failing the class from only paying attention to the girl. 

Tom knocked twice on the door before hearing a faint "come in". When he opened the door he saw Ms Vandenburg sitting at her desk, grading papers.

"Ah, Mr Holland! Class doesn't start for another ten minutes," She said but Tom shook his head. 

"I actually wanted to talk to you about something before class started," He said and she nodded. 

"What can I do for you?" She asked and Tom hesitated before speaking. 

"You know Y/n L/n, right?" he asked and Ms Vandeburg nodded, a smile forming on her face. 

"She's one of the brightest students in all of my class, apart from you of course," She said and Tom nodded. 

"Well...I-I've had a crush on her for the longest time but she has a boyfriend and I-I'm not sure what to do," He said, looking down at the floor in embarrassment. 

"Hmm, well..." Ms Vandenburg whispered, leaning back in her chair. "That is quite the predicament, isn't it?" She asked and Tom nodded. 

"I was hoping you could help me," He said, looking back up. 

"Well, I suppose on the next partner assignment I could...partner the two of you together," Ms Vandenburg said and a giant smile appeared on Tom's face.
