When I woke up the next morning I was greeted with Bex's face right in front of me,

"Ahhh!"

I screamed in surprise, jumping slightly. I wasn't exactly expecting a face right in front of me when I woke up. Bex laughed guiltily and smiled at me,

"Sorry! I didn't mean to scare you. I was just really excited to come tell you the good news."

I sent him a quizzical look that prompted him to continue,

"After everything yesterday we decided it'd be best if you came to school with us."

I nodded slowly,

"Okay, so how is this good news?"

I asked in confusion, causing Bex to smile wider,

"Because now we get to spend the day with you! Even though we don't have all our classes together, it makes me happy that we're in the same building together. Besides, we don't want to leave you home alone."

He explained as I nodded in understanding,

"Alright. I guess I should get dressed then."

I mumbled as I made my way to the dresser and pulled out a pair of black leggings, stopping as I looked at the shirts/sweaters/sweatshirts that I could wear with it,

"Hmmm, which one should I wear?"

I mumbled to myself as I looked at all of them,

"Wear this!"

Bex said from behind me, thrusting an over-sized gray shirt at me with thick, horizontal, black stripes going across it. I smiled as I turned to him,

"Thanks! This'll look---"

I cut myself off when I turned and saw a shirtless Bex standing there,

"What? I thought it'd look good on you."

He said as he moved closer to me. His smile was innocent but the look in his eyes told me he knew exactly what he was doing,

"You're blushing."

He said, poking my cheeks as I crossed my arms,

"W-Well it's your fault for being half naked."

I snapped back, making the raven haired teen laugh,

"Aww, are you mad?"

He asked, poking my face again. I refused to make eye contact with him as I shoved his shirt back at him,

"Put your shirt back on!"

I exclaimed, trying not to stare at him and his fabulous body. From the corner of my eye I saw him shake his head,

"Nope, I want you to wear it!"

He said enthusiastically as he pushed it back towards me. I sighed,

"Fine but you need to put a shirt on!"

I said as I pointed to the door,

"Out! Go find a shirt!"

I exclaimed as I tried to shoo him out of the room, not wanting to draw the rest of the house in on this conversation. Unfortunately, luck was not on my side as RIki and Jackson stormed in,

"WE HEARD YELLING (Y/N) ARE YOU OKAY--why isn't Bex wearing a shirt?"

Jackson asked, his worry replaced with total confusion. Bex shrugged,

"Do I need a reason?"

He asked as he moved to stand in front of me. I poked my head out from behind his shoulder and saw the two boys nodding,

"Yeah, you kinda do, especially since you're in (Y/N)'s room."

Riki said, sending Bex a death glare as the teen in front of me sighed, about to tell them everything but I cut him off,

"Look I just want to get dressed in peace, so all y'all get out!"

I said, shoving the three boys out of my room and locking the door, quickly running through my morning routine before getting dressed. I decided to wear the shirt Bex gave me before putting on my shoes, grabbing my bag, and going downstairs to meet up with the rest of the guys. Bex was the first to see me, a large smile plastered on his face when he saw his shirt,

"You're wearing the shirt I gave you!"

He exclaimed happily, sprinting over to hug me only to be stopped by Senri grabbing the back of his shirt. Bex landed on the floor with a loud thud, making everyone else in the room laugh as Senri turned to me,

"So this would explain why Bex was shirtless. Why did he give his shirt to you?"

Senri asked me, his amber eyes burning a hole in my black soul. I shrugged,

"How should I know? I was looking through my closet to figure out what to wear and he shoved his shirt in my face."

I said, not really wanting to deal with his shit,

"Why don't you ask Bex?"

I said, gesturing to the teen on the floor,

"I thought it'd look good on her and I was right!"

Bex defended himself as he stood up to look at Senri. Anyone else would've thought that the staring contest they were having was innocent, but I knew better. bex had a defiant and challenging look in his eyes while Senri's gaze held an icy malice. March, Jackson, Riki, and I were just watching them as a heavy silence settled over the room. I coughed awkwardly causing them to snap their gazes to me,

"How about we just go to school? I don't know what's going on here but can it wait until later?"

I asked, trying to dissolve the tension in the room. Bex and Senri exchanged glances before nodding at me. I smiled happily,

"Great! Now lets go."

I said as we all headed out the door,

"I'll drive."

Senri said, motioning for me to get into the passenger seat of his car while Jackson, Bex, and March got in the back,

"What about Riki?"

I asked, turning to the violet eyed teen in question. He smiled at me,

"I'm taking my bike."

He explained, going into the garage and walking a sleek black motorcycle out onto the driveway. My eyes popped out of my head,

"You've got a motorcycle? That's so cool!"

I exclaimed as I went over to get a better look at it. He smiled at my enthusiasm,

"Thanks. I've always preferred motorcycles over cars. I feel more free and in control."

I nodded in understanding,

"I get what you're saying. Can we go for a ride sometime?" 

I asked hopefully, making Riki laugh,

"Sure. I can take you to school, if you want."

He offered, making me smile,

"Okay!"

I said happily, bouncing on my toes slightly as Riki handed me a helmet and got on. I sat behind him and wrapped my arms around his torso, hugging him tightly,

"Thank you so much!"

I exclaimed, making him laugh,

"Anything for you, Beautiful."

He said, revving his motorcycle a little before we sped away from the house and towards the school. I knew Senri would probably be pissed but I didn't really care. When we were about halfway to school I started feeling a little cold as the wind whipped past us. I snuggled into Riki's back slightly and held him a little tighter as I tried to steal his warmth. I felt him stiffen slightly as I moved closer to him, but he made no attempt to stop me as I snuggled up to him. 

When we finally arrived at school, he parked his bike before taking off his helmet and turning to me,

"Are you okay? You were holding me really tightly. Did you get scared?"

he asked, genuinely concerned as I took off my helmet. I shook my head,

"Nah I was just cold so i was trying to steal your body heat. I was being a heat leech."

I explained as we got off of his bike. He smiled and took his jacket off,

"Here, put this on. It'll keep you warm."

He said, handing me his black bomber jacket. I shook my head,

"But won't you be cold?"

I asked him as he put his jacket around my shoulders before handing me my bag,

"No, I'm okay. You need it more than I do. It was supposed to be pretty cold this morning, but it'll warm up by the afternoon."

He explained, making me smile as I put his jacket on,

"Thanks, Riki."

I said happily as I took my bag from him. He smiled back at me and put his arm around my shoulder. I sent him a questioning look as we walked from the parking lot to the school, but decided not to press it,

He's probably just doing it because I said I was cold,

I thought as we entered the building. The second we did, I felt eyes on me. I looked around and saw a group of girls glaring daggers at me. I turned to Riki,

"Hey, Who're they?"

I asked him, pointing to the girls. Riki sighed in irritation before responding,

"That's Rika and her clique of bitches. She thinks that any attractive guy is basically her property. She's awful. Stay away from her."

He said, tightening his hold on me as he gave them a death glare. Once he did that, Rika and the others looked away and began whispering among themselves. I rolled my eyes at them as we made our way to Statistics,

"Hey, (Y/N). You said that when you scheduled classes you took whatever sounded fun. Why'd you take stats?"

Riki asked me as we sat down. I turned to look at him as I responded,

"Oh, when I transferred I found out I still needed one credit of math and Calculus sounded like pain and suffering so here I am."

I explained, prompting him to nod,

"Ah, okay. I've been wondering about that for a while. At any rate, I'm glad you're in stats with me."

He said, a soft smile on his face as he looked at me. I smiled back at him as Mr. Oh began his lecture.

~~~~~~~~~~~~(Time skip brought to you by Riki's love)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After English I told Bex and Jackson that I had to use the bathroom and to go on without me. They pouted a bit, but went on ahead as I entered the girls bathroom. After finishing up my business, I was about to exit the stall when I heard a group of girls come in,

"Who does that (Y/N) bitch think she is, flaunting Riki in front of me?"

A prissy voice said. I peeked out and saw Rika and her friends had entered the bathroom,

"I know! She thinks she's better than us because they're all over her."

A bitchy voice said,

"You know, I saw her come in here."

The voice continued. I heard the prissy one laugh,

"Well then, let's teach her a lesson."

I heard her say. Panicking, I quickly pulled out my phone and texted "sos" to all the boys. I had just sent it when my stall door was yanked open to reveal Rika and her four lackeys from earlier,

"Were you listening to us, bitch?"

Rika asked me, causing me to raise my eyebrow at her,

"It's hard not to. You're very loud."

I said, trying to stall for time until the guys could get here. Rika narrowed her eyes at me and grabbed my arm before I could dodge her, throwing me on the ground,

"Who the fuck do you think you are?"

She said with venom in her voice, spitting on me. I looked up and met her gaze as I responded,

"I'm Batman."

I said, trying to stand but she kicked me in the stomach. I groaned and fell back on the floor as two of the others held me down while she spoke,

"What the hell makes you special? Why do they want you and not me?"

She fumed, causing the girl next to her to speak,

"She's just their whore. They don't love her, Rika."

She said, casting a glare at me. I rolled my eyes in annoyance, earning me another swift kick in the stomach as Rika leaned over and punched me in the face. Blood spilled from my lips and onto Bex's shirt as she laughed. I saw her reach into her bag and pull out a knife, a sadistic smirk on her face as she turned to me,

"Let's see if they still want you when your face is fucked."

She whispered, dragging the knife across my cheek gently before pressing down as she broke the skin. I hissed in pain as she moved to do it again. I heard rushed footsteps coming down the hall and turned just in time to see Senri and March barge in with Riki, Jackson, and Bex hot on their heels. They looked furious as Senri spoke,

"What the fuck is going on?!"
