"HE'S MARRIED!" Tan paces back and forth in his room like a lunatic, he doesn't know what to do with this information, who does he tell? Can't text his friends, or talk to his useless parents, or Harris himself.Tan has searched the deep web for Harris and all he's found were articles on his work and a web page about his lawyering, besides being a lawyer it's like Harris Wheeler doesn't exist."How was school?" Scott asks as they eat at the table"Stressful I didn't have my camera today to take pictures for the yearbook""You're taking pictures for the yearbook?" Sheila looks over at himDropping his fork Tan stares back and forth between them "I have been the head of the yearbook committee all year, Erica and I took all the pictures in it. Why did you guys buy me a camera if you didn't know what I needed it for?" Realizing his parents aren't going to say anything due to the fact that they're eating and not even looking at him he asks "can I go to my room? Or do you guys need me to wa
"Hey, are you busy right now?" Sven walks in standing behind Tan as he sits on the computer in the yearbook committee room."You mean as I'm editing these pictures right now for the yearbook?" Tan asks sarcastically "not at all what's up?" He stops what he's doing and turns to Sven "woah you're really sweaty" he makes fun of him"It's a mix of working out and nerves" Tan watches as the sweat glistens down his arms, and the muscle shirt he's wearing covers nothing."Nerves?" They walk out of the room and stand closer"I'm freaking out about tonight" Sven whispers"Why? You've played a bunch of games before""This one's different people are gonna be watching""Like they usually do?""No Tan I mean the scouts they're coming and I don't think I'm ready""Sven since you became captain of JV they've won almost every game, you single-handedly turned those losers around" Sven chuckles at Tan calling his teammate losers, "and I know you're ready with all those practices and literally carrying
"Thanks a lot!" Tan yells at Lin as she's talking to Erica and Ronnie in Sven's backyard"That's not how I pictured you saying that" she turns to him"What happened?" Erica asks"Lin and I made a deal that if I talk to Sven and make him feel better she'd talk to Cyrus""What's the problem? We just saw her talking to him""She even got his number" Ronnie adds"Yeah, I did bitch!" They all cheer her on and start to high five"Good for you!" Tan yells getting the attention back to him "but Sven just kissed me upstairs!""What?!" They all ask shocked"We were talking in his bed and there was a moment and he kissed me" Tan explains"You were in his bed?!""Tanner Milton I said to make him feel better""Those weren't very clear instructions!" Tan panics "now he kissed me and I'm gonna make it weird""You don't have to," Ronnie says"It's Tan he's gonna make it weird" Erica chuckles"Thanks so much, Erica! None of you are helping! What do I do?""Avoid him?" Lin guesses"Yeah that's smart yo
"Who's that?" Tan asks hearing the doorbell as they sit on the couch trying to pick something to watch"I ordered brunch while you were on your way here" Harris gets up heading for the door. Opening it to four people carrying bags "hi you guys can go set up in there" he points to the kitchen and they walk in."What's happening?" Tan gets off the couch asking confused as he watches the people walk to the kitchen."I didn't know what you liked so I just ordered the whole menu, and told them to cater it when they got here.""Are you joking?" Tan asks smiling"No""Harry, pancakes or waffles, I like anything breakfast you didn't have to buy a whole menu."Harris stands in front of him and their fronts touch "I didn't want to be wrong"Reaching his lips to Harris Tan kisses him "you're not but having them cater it is a bit ridiculous. There's only two of us Harry." Walking to the kitchen followed by Harris, Tan says to the caterers "guys thanks for bringing the food over but you don't have
"I can't believe we finished it," Erica says to Tan as the yearbook committee have a pizza party being that today is their last yearbook meeting. "Yeah now all we have to do is take it to Principal Taylor and hope she doesn't hate it""Does that woman like anything?" Erica asks jokingly and they go back to their little party.walking to the principal's office with the yearbook prototype in his hands Tan gets nervous. Tan worked really hard on this yearbook and it got him into Northwestern so he hopes Principal Taylor likes it. "Hi Mrs. Drake" Tan greets the receptionist in the principal's office"Hey Tanner" she looks up from her desk and smiles"Is Principal Taylor in? I have the yearbook to show her""Ooh is it all done?" she get's excited"Yeah we finished it this morning""That's great well she's not with anyone so go ahead."Knocking on the door Tan wait's for an answer "come in" he hears her voiceWalking in smiling nervously Tan starts "hey PT what's up?""PT?" she looks up fr
"Tanner Milton to the principal's office" everyone hears over the intercom as Tan sits in class. packing his things Tan leaves class going to Principal Taylor's office. "Tanner thank you for joining us" the principal calls him in."Thank you for having me?" he replies confused as to why he's back here again.Sitting in the chair next to Harris across the principal, Tan waits for her to speak. "Tanner Mr. Wheeler has informed me that he works for your father""That is a fact yes.""Well, you two must be acquainted then?""Here and there" Tan replies "quick hellos and goodbyes really.""Ok well Harris is our new in-house lawyer, and since you two are acquainted I figure who better to give him a tour of our school." BAD IDEA!"As fun as that sounds I was actually in the middle of class""Don't worry about it I'll talk to your teachers, just show Mr. Wheeler around and bring him back here when you're done." She basically handed them a pass to fool around on school property.Standing up Ta
Afterward, Tan sits on the side of the bed facing away from Sven as he gets dressed too lost in his thoughts to realize Sven is trying to get his attention. "Hey" he snaps out of it feeling Sven's hand on his shoulder. "Where are you?" Sven asks noticing how distant he is.He forces a smile "right here. I have to get going school's about to end and Ronnie needs her car" after putting his shoes on he looks around for everything else."Can I see you later? Maybe I can come over and we can hang out?"Standing at Sven's bedroom door before he leaves Tan says "umm I'll text you ok.""Okay" Sven replies and Tan leaves without saying anything else.Frantically rushing to the car tears fall from Tan's eyes, what just happened was something Tan's wanted for as long as he could remember, but he didn't want it like this. Getting in the car Tan sits there for a minute crying as he fixes his hair so his friends don't notice.Why couldn't Tan enjoy this? Having sex with your crush should be at the
Getting to school Tan doesn't expect Lin to be waiting at their locker with morning coffees and she wasn't, he hasn't slept all night. Somehow if everyone could forget how weird he's been acting it would help. His best friend is probably going to take his other best friends away and the only other person he had, he can't look in the eyes without wanting to kill himself."Tanner" he hears the principal behind him as he drags himself to class looking like a pile of dirty laundry with bed head."Yes Principal Taylor" he turns aroundShe notices his state but doesn't question or comment, "I need you to sit in on the prom committee meeting today during advisory."He sighs "but that's my free period I was going to take a nap in the library""Excuse me?" Her tone changesHe laughs nervously "whaaaaat I don't nap in the library I'm just kidding PT""Meeting today at 1 will you go?""Of course anything for my favorite principal" Tan tries to be cute but she doesn't buy it and walks away. He dr
