Summary:

In which Freddy gets injured playing football and soon after his grades start to drop. Billy is assigned to tutor him so he can pass his finals and they immediately do not get along. Freddy is stubborn, Billy is tired, and their opposing personalities clash immensely. Little do they know how much this obligation would change them, and maybe help them realize that underneath their cliches they weren't so different after all.

Chapter 1: prologue

Chapter Text

Freddy scanned the field and clenched his jaw. He watched the players move as he decided which route to take.

 

Right? Or Left?

 

A rush of adrenaline flowed throughout his body as he darted to the right side. He pushed through the massive bodies and the end zone became clear. He held the ball closer to his chest as he increased his speed towards the goal. Suddenly his drive was abruptly stopped by a pain shooting through his right leg. He fell to the ground and heard a whistle calling off the play.

He knew he was in an excruciating amount of pain but his body felt numb as he was dragged off the field. Black dots started clouding his vision and soon he fell unconscious.

The medics and one of his teammates moved him to a separate room and started talking between themselves.

“How bad is it?”

His fellow teammate asked with a grim expression on his face.

The nameless man sighed and looked at the younger teen with a guilty stare.
“Honestly from the looks of things, I don’t the kid will play football for a while, if ever again.”

The other boy turned back to face the injured boy laying on the table.

“God I hope he’s okay.”
