Too Similar (Highschool fluff)

(Prompt: Tord's depressed because of the death of his girlfriend and a couple years later meets someone that looks way too similar)

It's been a couple years now.

When I was in middle school I fell deep for a girl named Tamara Spaventa. Nice blue hoodie, spiky hair, black eyes, genuine smile and amazing laugh. She was my angel, my star. One day I got the courage to confess my feelings to her. She accepted. We were in love but a couple years ago she was passed away from an illness. I still remember how she was lying in the hospital, sick. And more importantly I remembered what she said just before she died.

"We will meet you in another life. No matter what people with love like ours will always find themselves."

Ever since then the joy of my life disappeared. Nothing could get me to smile anymore. How much Edd and Matt tried, nothing made me want to smile anymore. There was no more point in living.

But one day...

Everything changed.

Tord's POV

I was walking to my classroom, Edd and Matt beside me. I hated the fact that they were so concerned about me. There was no point in being concerned for someone who's already a goner. We walked into the classroom, and sat in our places. The desks were arranged so that two desks were close to each other and had four seats in one row. Me, Matt and Edd sat in the third row, leaving one seat empty. The teacher shushed the classroom as we sat down in our seats. "Hello class!" Mrs. Andersen, our English Teacher "Hello Mrs. Andersen!" the class responded. The door quickly opened as a boy with, light brown, spiky hair, black eyes entered "Hello...? I'm in this class. Sorry for being late I was lost..." the boy replied "Oh! You must be our new student! Tom, was it?" the teacher said happily "Yes...that's me" he said. "Well, welcome Tom! Take seat...hmm... in the first row okay?" the teacher said pointing at the seat next to me. The boy nodded, sitting next to me. For some reason I couldn't help but feel like I know him. There was something about the boy that made him different from the rest. The class went by fast. I noticed another thing that made Tom special. For the first time in years my expression wasn't depressed, for some reason his smile...made me wanna smile too.

Soon we walked out of the classroom. Edd decided to go talk Tom while me and Matt stood by the lockers talking. "Y'know....I know this is a very sensitive topic for you....but doesn't Tom look a bit like Tamara?" Matt said fidgeting with his fingers. I could see he was scared, I used to have anger outbursts whenever Tammy was brought up. But I needed to calm. "I mean in appearance! We don't know him so! hehe...heh" he said nervously "It's okay Matt. I'm not angry at you. But can we please talk about something else then Tammy? Please..." I said. Matt sighed and nodded. Edd soon approached us Tom following him. "So Tom, this is Tord and this is Matt!" Edd said happily "Hi!" Tom said smiling "Hi Tim!" Matt said dumbly "You have to excuse him, he's a little slow" Edd said. I didn't respond. Tom's smile lowered a bit as I turned away from him. The next subject was history. We were supposed to pair up with the person sitting next to us. For me it used to be Tamara but...she was gone. So for now I had to pair up with Tom. Tom was happy and cheerful but I was refusing to look at him. He was a little anxious but it was his first day at school. Who wouldn't be anxious of making a bad impression. The lessons passed quickly, with me looking at Tom occasionally. I didn't have an overall reason or at least not a one I can think off. Soon all of us were walking home. Me and Tom planned to work on the project so after Edd and Matt left to head over to work on their project, me and Tom started walking to my house.

We soon arrived at my house, Tom following me. As I got in I introduced Tom and left the living room making my parents give each other worried looks. I knew they were worried about me but as I said, I'm already a goner. There's no reason to worry about something that doesn't want to be here anymore. We sat on the bed and imminently started working on our project. We stayed silent unless it was related to the project, however in the middle of making the project, Tom decided to say something.

"Tord...do you hate me?"

He said looking on the floor. I looked up from the project, my face surprised. I wasn't expecting this question. "Why are you asking?" I asked surprised "It's just that... you've been looking at me in class weirdly, and when I tried talking to you, you refused to talk to me even saying hi...It's okay if you don't like me but can you please tell me if you do? I don't want to waste my time trying to be friends with someone that doesn't like me..." he said rubbing his neck and refusing to look me in the eyes. I was still a bit surprised 'It's...not that I hate you....it's just that you remind me of someone...that I want to forget" "Who's that? You don't have to tell me anything you don't want to...." I sighed and opened the drawer next to my bed. There I saw one of the many Polaroids me and Tamara took. This one was in the park. We had ice cream from a stand and I remember Tammy getting a brain freeze and us laughing. I smiled at the photo "It's stupid but... I used to have a girlfriend. She looked a lot like you. The same black eyes, the same braces, the same shade of blue hoodie and the same spiky like hair. She was my soulmate. She died a couple years ago..." I said focusing on the photo, holding it like my life depended on it. I felt my throat get a choking like pain. I felt a hand on my shoulder to which I flinched "I'm sorry...It's hard for me to imagine what it's feel like to be you. I'm sorry" "I remember that... before she died, she said to me that she will meet me in another life..." I added "Do you believe her?" Tom said "Believe that i'll meet someone as good as her? It's impossible to find someone like that twice" I said chuckling. Tom fidgeted with his fingers " Y'know...for some reason I can't help but think... I know you from somewhere too..." he said his expression confused. "Do you think that me meeting you today was...?"

"Destiny?"

I looked at him and I couldn't help but smile. "If this is destiny, I hope we can be friends" I said looking down. "I'm sure we will. Tell you what, how about we go watch "The Return of The Dead Zombie Pirates from Hell 6" tomorrow?" Tom said. "Sounds good to me. The first couple of movies were great" I said smiling. 

"Sounds great, new friend"
