Melanie found Alice by her locker. Her ex was there too but back off when he saw melanie approach. "Hi!" Alice greeted bubbly. "Tanner seems to want to get back together after all." She squealed. Melanie frowned. "Didn't we agreed he wasn't your type?" She asked. Alice shrugged. "People can change." Melanie shrugged. She would hear about this for the rest of the day.
"What's the deal with you and Tom Holland?" She asked as they walked to their next class together. It was a writing class, something melanie didn't look forward to. She liked to read, but she always felt her writing was terrible. "What do you mean?" Her friend asked. She didn't want her to know she was texting Tom right now but she already pieced that together as she gave Melanie disgusted look. "You're not talking to that loser, are you? I was really just pranking him...didn't think you would give him the time of day." Melanie frowned. "Don't bring me into your past drama, Alice." She said sternly. "You know I don't like it." Alice shrugged as though it didn't really bother her. "Sorry..." Melanie doubted she would leave this alone. She would want to hear every bit of her conversation with Tom during her next class. What a great first day...

tomholland* the most important thing, in anything you do, is always try your hardest, because even if you try your hardest and it's not as good as you'd hoped, you still have that sense of not letting yourself down. i say i think you say Looking around the school, he managed to find his little sister right by her locker with her other freshmen friends. Typical. Holding onto the straps of his backpack, he walked up to her. "Hey Emma. You texted?" Looking at him, her face suddenly turned from happy to annoyance. Frowning, her eyes were basically burning into his eyes. If only looks could kill. "I've been looking everywhere for your ass! Why didn't you reply to my message?" She spat, angrily slamming her heel to the ground. Rolling his eyes, he looked at her friends. They all looked uncomfortable standing there, watching Emma throw a fit in front of him.
Grabbing onto her arm, he began pulling her away from the group to a more private place. "Can I talk to you for a minute?" Walking to a more private place, away from the group, Emma followed after him, eventually yanking her arm away from his grasp. "Let go of me." "Look Emma, you're making yourself look like a fucking five year old. Making a scene in front of your friends was fucking embarrassing. So can you just quit the act and tell me what you needed me for?" Being with his sister was so frustrating sometimes. Having her always throwing a fit and always calling him off makes it sometimes unbearable to live with her.
Crossing her arms, she pulled her bottom lip into her mouth, biting down on it. "Mom said she won't be able to pick me up tonight, she'll be staying at work late. I tried calling Aunt May for a ride, but she's not answering. I need you to give me a ride tonight." Sighing, he quickly rubbed his face with his hand, trying to calm himself down. "Yeah, I can give you a ride." The bell rang again, so Tom began to head towards his class. "We'll go back home after this considering it's our last class. Meet me by the courtyard so we can go." Nodding, she walked away, giving Tom a little wave. "Cya after class, big bro."

Melanie followed Alice into the class and the two sat next to each other. Melanie checked her phone again but she hadn't gotten a reply from Tom. Alice saw her looking and smiled, bumping her shoulder with hers. "Forget about him, girl. Hes a nobody." Melanie narrowed her eyes at her friend. "Leave me be. I will say whether or not he is a nobody." She snorted but Alice said nothing more.
As class started, Melane wanted to know if Alice could give her a ride out to the country. She gaped at melanie and smirked. "Can't. Tanner invited me to a party tonight to celebrate the seniors." "Is that the only reason your going?" Melanie challenged. "At least I'm no longer a virgin." Alice hissed. Melanie was shut down. She didn't have a ride home either. She might of had to take the bus, but she didn't want to. Who else could she ask...?
She looked through her phone and picked a Random contact before texting them.
Melanie: Hey...do you drive?

tomholland* the most important thing, in anything you do, is always try your hardest, because even if you try your hardest and it's not as good as you'd hoped, you still have that sense of not letting yourself down. i say i think you say Setting himself down on a seat right next to Ned, he sulked back in his chair, feeling rather exhausted. Today has felt like a long day. So much has happened that Tom hasn't had a chance to breathe. Running a hand through his hair, he placed his arms on his desk, resting his head on them.
Rummaging through his pocket to reach his phone, he noticed that he had two unread text messages. Both from Melanie. Opening up his text messages, he read the texts. It appears that Melanie needed a ride as well. Tom wasn't sure how Emma would feel about it, considering she always seems to be in a shitty mood.
Although, it would be interesting. Seeing Emma's reaction to her would be amazing. Knowing Emma though, she might try to take a chance to embarrass Tom somehow. She's always been pretty good at that, but he wasn't sure if he was ready to let that happen just yet.
Tom: Yeah, I can drive. Do you need a ride?

Melanie stared at her phone as class went on and thought long and hard about whether or not she truly wanted to ask for his help. Would he freak if he found out just how rich she truly was? She wanted to ride her horse and feel the breeze. It was a great relaxer when she needed it. Plus it would have been better than taking a really long bus ride. She shrugged and text him back before Alice could notice.
Melanie: yeah, to the country. I can pay you for your trouble...

tomholland* the most important thing, in anything you do, is always try your hardest, because even if you try your hardest and it's not as good as you'd hoped, you still have that sense of not letting yourself down. i say i think you say Reading Melanie's text about asking him to take her to the country, he shrugged. That wasn't necessarily a problem for him. He typed back, replying with how he'd be willing to take her there and that paying wouldn't be necessary.
Tom: No need to. I'd be happy to take you to the country for free. (:
Turning to look at Ned, he noticed that he's been peeking at his phone this whole time. "Dude, what are you doing?" He asked, letting out a giggle. Looking at Tom with a huge grin, he nudged him with his elbow. "Taking Melanie to the country?" Shrugging, he nodded yes.
"Just shut up about it. You can't be going around telling people." "Why not?" He asked, sounding disappointed. You could clearly tell he was about to tell other people around the school and Tom can't have that happen. It could add more drama to their lives and people would start spreading rumors about them. He can't bring Melanie more trouble. "Just. Please? I can't do that to her right now. If people know, they're going to start talking shit about her or me and I don't think she'd like that. Please Ned." At this point, he was practically begging. Slightly lifting his hands up as a surrender, he replied with an 'okay' and a 'I promise'. Thank you.

When class ended, Melanie followed Alice to her locker. "How are you getting home?" She asked as she put her books away. "I'm not going home," Melanie replied, "I'm going to the country for horseback riding." Alice gave her a smug look. "How are you getting there?" She asked, raising a brow. Melanie couldn't lie. "Tom is taking me." She lost her nerve. "What?! Not that loser! Choose someone else Melanie. I'll have tanner take you home." "No thanks." Melanie replied automatically."I'll stick to the loser than risk getting hit on by your Ghost of a boyfriend." She left Alice just as Tanner had walked up asking what was going on.
Melanie had felt curious eyes on her and she didn't want that. She waited at the curb till she saw Tom come out to meet up with him. She fussed with her hair and took her phone out of her purse to text him
Melanie: I'll meet you at the curb.

tomholland* the most important thing, in anything you do, is always try your hardest, because even if you try your hardest and it's not as good as you'd hoped, you still have that sense of not letting yourself down. i say i think you say With the bell ringing, Ned and Tom both got up from their seats and scrambled to get out of that class. Ned followed Tom to his locker, keeping a massive grin on his face. Looking over his shoulder, he felt slightly uncomfortable. "Why are you looking at me like that?" Running up to face Tom, he smiled even wider. "Aren't you excited?!" Reaching his locker, he rolled his eyes. "Ned, it's just a car ride." "Yeah, with a popular and cute chick!"
Slamming his locker shut once he gathered his stuff, he slid on his backpack and started walking towards the courtyard. "Shut up Ned." "I don't know why you're not excited about this!" "Ned." "I mean if I were you, I'd be thinking about what could happen during it!" "Ned ple—" "I mean what if you two end up—" "NED!" He yelled out, finally getting his attention. "I need to get going. I'll text you whenever I get home. Please just.. stop talking about this for once." Nodding, he waved goodbye. "Right, sorry. I'll see you tomorrow! Let me know what happens!"
Rolling his eyes again, he finally reached the courtyard. Seeing his sister sitting there was somewhat relieving after Ned constantly talking about Melanie. Walking up to her, Tom told her to follow him to the parking lot. Pulling out his keys, he unlocked his car as they both got inside. Seeing his sister get in the passenger seat, he suddenly stopped her with his hand. "You might want to sit in the back this time." Frowning her eyebrows, she looked at him confusingly. "What, why?"
Biting on his bottom lip, he was slightly hesitant to tell her, "Because. I'm picking someone up and taking them somewhere today. They needed a ride and I offered to give her one." Raising an eyebrow, she let a smirk crawl on her lips, crossing her arms in curiosity. "Oh? It's a girl?" She taunted. Nervously swallowing, she let out a laugh before shutting the door and sitting at the back. "What's her name?" Putting the key into the ignition, he turned on the car before he replied. "Melanie Faye." Oh God, is she about to turn into Ned? "Aww, is little Tom nervous?" She cooed, reaching into the front seat as she playfully pinched his cheek. Gently slapping her hand away, he slightly frowned from embarrassment, "Just shut up and put on your seatbelt." Letting out a laugh, she did what he said. Pulling out his phone, he typed.
Tom: Okay. I'll meet you there.

When melanie got the text back, she swallowed hard. Was this a bad idea? Would people start talking if they saw her get in the car with him? Melanie sighed, wondering if she should just take the bus and tell him she actually had money for a ride the whole time. It sounded appealing but sees he didn't want to be rude.
Melanie: ok

tomholland* the most important thing, in anything you do, is always try your hardest, because even if you try your hardest and it's not as good as you'd hoped, you still have that sense of not letting yourself down. i say i think you say Putting on his seatbelt, he put the car in reverse and back to drive as he made himself out the parking lot. He turned to steering wheel as he started driving towards the curb where he was going to pick Melanie up. Hopefully everything goes smoothly. "How did you even manage to meet this girl?" Emma said, looking down at her phone as she spoke. "We have two classes together. I sat behind her and we just started talking. Some chick named Alice ended up giving me her phone number and now here we are."
"A phone number? Were you hitting on her or something?" Shrugging his shoulders, he nodded in disagreement. "No, not even close. We were just having a regular conversation and her friend gave me her phone number for some reason. But I honestly think she's trying to set me up." Looking up at him, she had her eyebrow raised. You could tell she was suspicious. "I think so, too. Hopefully that scumbag doesn't try to do anything funny to you." Even though Emma is usually joking around with him, it sounded like she actually meant what she was saying to Tom. Hearing her say that made him feel warm inside.
"Yeah.. you can't tell anyone about this, Emma. Please promise me that you won't. You and Ned are the only people who know about this. I made Ned promise to me, now you have to promise me." Nodding, she lifted her pinky up in the air with a smile on her face. "Pinky promise."
Pulling up to the curb, he managed to park the car and unlock the passenger door to let Melanie in. Emma looked over the window, her eyes widening with surprise. "That's her?!" Looking back behind his shoulder, he put his pointer finger on his lips, telling her to quiet down. "Yes. Just shut up and don't embarrass me." He said, putting his hand back on the steering wheel and waited for Melanie to get in.

Melanie browsed Facebook as she waited for the car to come around. Her feet were starting to feel sore from a day wandering about in heels. She couldn't wait to swap her heels for comfortable riding boots.
As a car came around, a silver Impala, she recognized Tom in the drivers seat as she pu her phone in her purse. She noticed a child in the backseat and figured she must be his sibling. She got in the car and put her purse down by her feet, relieved to finally be seated somewhere.
"Hello." She greeted once she closed the car door. "Thanks again for this. The ranch is off the interstate near Third and West Field Avenue. Do you need directions?"

He really hoped that his sister wasn't going to try to do any funny business now that she's around. "Hey." He managed to say to her. Emma still seemed to be shocked by her. You could easily tell she was trying to contain her composure. "Hey! I'm Tom's little sister, Emma. Tom told me that your named Melanie? It's nice to meet you!" She exclaimed with a huge grin.
Sighing, he knew Emma was going to be like this for the whole car ride. "I'm sorry. Don't mind her." He apologized, feeling his cheeks flush up a little from embarrassment. "Thanks again for this. The ranch is off the interstate near Third and West Field Avenue. Do you need directions?" Smiling at her, he put the car back into drive as he started to carefully drive out of the school's lot. "No need to thank me, I'm happy to be able to give you a ride back. Do you think you can put a GPS on my phone and lead me on where to go? I've never really been to the country before."

Melanie looked over her shoulder at the girl who introduced herself as Tom's sister. "Hello, Emma. Pleasure to meet you as well."she headed toms request and took it her own phone instead as she thought it far too awkward to use his. She turned on the GPS and turned up the volume enough so Tom could hear it. "Go left when you go out." She instructed before the GPS could confirm her words.

When Melanie took out her phone, she pulled out the GPS and typed in the location before she gave him directions on turning left when he gets out of the school's property. Nodding, he did what she said so.
Hearing Emma shift in her seat, she slightly leaned in-between them, resting her head on her hands as she also rested her elbows on the arm rest. "So.. where are we going?" She asked, mostly looking at Melanie. "To the country." Tom replied, knowing exactly what Emma was trying to pull. Looking over at Tom, she pulled her bottom lip into her mouth, slightly biting down on it. "Do you like riding horses then?" She asked Melanie, trying to start up a conversation. "I have a friend who's also into that sort of stuff, I think it's pretty cool." Leaning back into her seat, she took her phone out, looking over social media as she continued. "Our parents never really take us anywhere considering they're always so busy to even see us, so we're usually living with our aunt May." "Emma." Tom warned, looking at her through the rear view mirror and giving her a look that tells her it's her last chance. Slightly frowning, she crossed her arms. "What? You always do this whenever I try to have a conversation with someone. I don't wanna sit here in silence, I'm trying to get to know her."

Melanie relaxed in her seat. It was nice to be in something other than a bus or limo her parents would sometimes send to pick her up from a meeting place. When Emma started taking to her she smiled gently.
"Yes, I ride usually every weekend. I don't necessarily compete but I have done dressage lessons in my own leisure." She wondered what Emma's friend was into but Emma switched up the top.
"I can relate." She said, wanting to lesson the tension she felt in the vehicle. "My parents are usually away on business trips so I'm left to my own devices." She smiled glancing at both of them. "You're both welcome to join in the ride if you want to." She had temporarily forgotten the awkwardness between her and Tom. She loved horseback and figured a small ride in the forest trials might be fun. She just needed to change outfit and shoes.
