11- change my clothes

- Clays pov -

thinking, thinking about you MUFFI-

I grunted and turned around eager to switch of my alarms, god those things can be annoying especially when it's your friends voice but whatever

Today it's Tuesday 14th of September and i have college again.. great

Don't get me wrong i love hanging out with George, Nick, Alex, bad and karl but i guess it can be abit much sometimes? you get what i mean??

anyways eventually I'm going to have to get up for the day though i don't feel like going in I've got to it's the law, well thats what they tell us i don't understand it if I'm honest and I'm not sure if i want to.

Finally pulling myself together i mumble inaudible words as i sit up looking across the hall to George's room and seeing his door cracked slightly open and an empty bed, that was neatly put together with pillows stood as decorations, no George in sight.

i snickered to myself at how perfect he was at almost everything he did and finally got out of bed, preparing myself for whatever the new day had to bring.

On the way to my homeroom for checkins i see the blonde and brunette boy from yesterday i believe their names are Tommy and wilbur but that doesn't matter, not unless i became a friend to them which was likely. I walk up to them smiling as i openly start a conversation about the football practice asking if i need a kit, what the teams like and finally deciding that I'll join in today to see what it's like

They did tell me I'll need a kit so i guess I'll get that later in my free lesson -

wait what's the time?

i pull out my phone seeing I'm 2 minutes later than i should be, thats just great not even a week in and the teachers already going to hate me

at this point I'm practically running along the corridors trying to find my room and getting lost in the process.

of course george just had to take our only map with him, of course

i thought to myself as i finally found the room ignoring my nerves as i pushed open the door and immediately had half the room stop talking to look at me

it's not like i had anything important to do why was everyone watching me?

i walked into the room looking around until i caught a sight of George laughing about me being late i assume, maybe if he didn't disappear this morning i would be on time but yolo.

as i got closer to sitting down i was about to ask george where he's been all morning when our teacher cleared her throat and asked for me to come to the front desk.. well this was unexpected ay?

i stood in front of her desk anxiously fidgeting with my fingers waiting for her to speak when finally she started talking

"Clay Wastaken. I expect better from you, i mean come on kid we're 2 days into the new year and you're already late!" She looked at her watch and shook her head disapprovingly, talk about being over dramatic its only 120 seconds.. "I'm sorry but that's got to be a detention"

I sighed knowing this was my fate and there's likely no way around it, teachers these days "alright miss just send a detention slip to one of my lessons so i know which room"

She nodded in response signalling me to finally sit down and talk to George my god i feel like i haven't spoken to him in years

As soon as i walked over he pointed out that my face was red and then he started giggling to himself after like a minute of him i don't even know having a laughing fit i guess he finally calmed down giving me some time to talk

"Alright, alright its not that funny maybe if you didn't disappear off somewhere this morning and take the only map of this huge building with you i would have been on time" i finally state rolling my eyes as he starts laughing again

his laugh was so admirable

Oh? sorry what who said that not me ..haha

how am i practically in-love with this boy i met him in a Morrison's for gods sake, i chuckle to myself recalling our first interaction as he mumbles on about some random topics and I'll be honest i wasn't really paying attention to him, i was watching him talk none of the words went into my head i had better things to worry about like what i would be doing in 80 years time waut would i even live that long-?

ring ring

not the bell ironically cutting off my thoughts but okay.

"Seriously i was thinking the bell would never ring woah" i say as me and George begin to gather our things for first period.

First period and I've got computer science.. thats alright i enjoy coding and i know George and Bad are in my computer science so this should be just fine

~

After that lesson time started travelling by pretty quickly, one minute i was typing in some intense python coding and the next I'm on my break heading to the sports shop to acquire my football kit, I'm still pretty sure George doesn't want me to join but at least he is trying to be supportive, or at least i think he is?

i understand why he wouldn't want me to join i could turn out like some snobby football kid that never pays attention to anything else, though I'm almost 100% sure that will never happen

Fitting for my kit went well and it was pretty quick as i already knew my measurements, i went on my own but me Alex and George made plans to meet up in a cafe near campus for lunch as the food they provide isn't the best here..

The football kit consisted of a blue and black jersey as blue and black are our teams colours with the number 8 on it as that was now my number and the name 'dream' written on the back, that comes up a lot recently hm? shorts, socks, football boots which i bought in a different shop so i could get a pair to match my jersey and shin pads just so i don't die obviously

all items being essential so i checked out bagged up my stuff quickly bought it into mine and George's accommodation and just threw it on my bed eager to get to this lunch time meeting so i can see George again, and also Alex of course
