You sigh as you drop down your phone, trying to focus on the notes lying out in front of you.

Testing was coming up, and you weren't prepared at all. What does half of this stuff even mean? Why the fuck do you need to know quadratics?? Huh??? At this point, you could barely recall what 2 + 2 is. Fish??

You subconsciously notice that your breathing was beginning to quicken.

Breathe.

You need to calm down if you're even gonna want to focus on this stuff. You could always ask one of your school friends, but you doubt they'd even be up this late anyway. Tommy said he was streaming, and you didn't want to bother him or anyone else.

Oh god, what if you completely fail the tests? Would you have to repeat? You've never had to do that. What would your parents think? What would your friends think? They'd all move on without you. They'd forget about you. You'd be all alone. You-

You slam your head down on the desk in front of you, trying to focus on your breathing. Again.

Looking up at the nearby clock, you find that nearly an hour has passed since you'd last touched the notes. Oh.

Tommy was live, right? Maybe you could just watch him stream. Yeah, that should calm you down a little. Help you focus, y'know? Hopefully.

Opening up your laptop, you pull up his stream. Your ears are immediately graced with the oh so pleasant sound of his yelling, watchingmas he's knocked off a bridge in what you believe is a game of BedWars.

With a small smile, you pull the laptop close to you, notes forgotten momentarily.

KatieWasFound: (User/N)!!! hi!!! :D

regie19: lmao

undernite: (user/n) hello

melllohii: (USER/N) HELLO!! HOW ARE YOU DO YOUR SHOES NEED SHINING

Feonix: (User/N)!!

You laugh as Tommy's chat begins to spam your username. Tommy groans again, as he is once again knocked into the void.

Sparing a glance at his chat, he notices you username with a smile. "Ah, (User/N)! Nice of you to join us! You finally finish your 'school shit' or whatever you called it?"

You frowned. Opening up Discord, you decide to just hope in the VC he's 'chilling' (if you would even call it that, given all the yelling) in.

"Yo." You say, pushing the computer back. You move some of the papers around your desk.

"Hello- WHAT THE FUCK!" Hah. He probably fell into the void again.

The sudden shout makes you burst into laughter.

"Hey! Stop laughing, bitch! You're the one who was doing school work!"

You groan, trying (and succeeding, hopefully) to hide your internal panic. "Ugh. Don't remind me. I barely even understand half this shit. Fuckin' shapes and shit. Lines. Formulas. Other shit that probably isn't even that important."

"Sounds complicated."

"Fuck you."

"That was uncalled for."

"Whatever."

×××××

The two of you talked for a little bit longer, talking about topics completely unrelated to school, thankfully. (You think Tommy was doing that on purpose, so you honestly need to find some way to thank him for it.)

You then decided that you should really get back to studying, to which his chat was really sad about. Saying goodbye to his chat (and the Big Man himself), you exit Discord and close your laptop.

It wasn't too long before you got fed up with studying again. You just decide you're gonna head to bed. Hopefully, you'll be in a better mood tomorrow, and then you'll actually get something done.

×××××

With you out of the Discord call, Tommy turned to his camera.

"Alright, chat, serious talk from Big Man TommyInnit time. Need to ask a favour of you guys..."

×××××

You woke up.

Staring at the ceiling, you decide that you still aren't in the mood for studying.

You need to, though.

But maybe you could just scroll through Twitter or something before hand.

Upon opening the app, you're flooded instantly with words of appreciation. You begin to tear up. Why...?

Tommy.

He must've told his stream about all the stress you were under. With a smile you open up your messaging app.

child :]

bitch.
