Chapter 8: The Chase pt 2 and Someone New
Previously
I walk out of the classroom and check my schedule.
'LUNCH!!!'
Now:
I walk around the first floor looking for the cafeteria. Several minutes later, I come across some double doors with the words "Cafeteria" written in fancy letters above them.
'Oh my god, you're stupid. Why haven't you seen this before?'
I walk in and find the cafeteria relatively empty.
I find an empty table to sit at and take out my homework. I didn't bother to get food because I wasn't hungry.
The second bell rings and the cafeteria starts to fill up with students.
"Hey! That's our table!" A familiar female voice shouts at me.
I jolt and look up to see Undyne looking at me with her arms crossed. PJ, Skate, and the cat monster are behind her.
"Hey, it's that girl again!" The cat monster points out.
"I-I'm sorry! I get o-out of your w-way now!" I stammer and start shoving my papers in my backpack.
"Not so fast!" PJ yells and I immediately stop what I'm doing, "We have unfinished business, don't we?"
'Well, look at you! Someone's learning their place here. But I think I should give you a more thorough lesson so you don't forget!'
"N-No, p-please!"
"Hold her arms!" He orders and Undyne and the cat monster come forward. I back up until I hit a wall and they corner me.
"Maybe there's a better way to do this than fighting?" Skate speaks up but nobody seems to hear her. She looks dejected and I couldn't help but feel at least a little empathetic towards her.
I turn back to PJ and he readies a punch. Just as he is about to swing at me, I gasp and duck.
"Gosh dang it, PJ!" The cat monster screams.
"BP!" Undyne screeches.
I take this opportunity to grab my bag and run away. I shoot the cat monster an 'I'm sorry' look and sprint away.
I hurry to the staircase and run up. The second I get to the 2nd floor, I try to find a room to hide in. I come across the library and dash in.
The librarian looks up at me in surprise. His name stand reads Mr. Goth.
"WHERE IS SHE!?" PJ screams from outside.
I look at Mr. Goth with a 'please help me!' expression. He seems to understand right away and signals for me to hide under his desk.
I scramble under the desk and duck just in time before the door slams open.
"Is she in here!?" I hear Undyne roar angrily.
I shake under the table and try not to make a sound.
Mr. Goth shushes her and calmly asks, "Who?"
"Have you seen a girl with a maroon sweater and a black scarf?" BP asks.
He shakes his head.
I could hear PJ growling as the jocks storm out of the room, still being noisy.
"You can come out now." Mr. Goth says to me.
I come out from under the desk shaking and sweating. I can feel tears building up in my eyes and streaming down my cheeks.
Mr. Goth gets a tissue from the tissue box on his desk and hands it to me. I gratefully take it and start sobbing quietly.
'Good job for acting like a crybaby again, (Y/N).'
Mr. Goth lead me to a nearby couch and comforts me while I whimper softly.
The door opens and we both turn our attention to the door.
Skate
"P-Please don't h-hurt me...!" I exclaim in an unsteady voice. I try to shield myself and curl up into a ball.
"I wasn't planning to. I just wanted to talk..."
She walks closer and I flinch slightly.
"Sorry..." She steps back.
"I just want to apologize for the others. They've always picked on others and so have I. But I stopped a while ago! I try to stop them now but they just don't listen..."
'You can't trust her.'
"...So I'm sorry."
'You can't trust her!'
"I get it if you choose not to believe me but I really am telling you the truth."
'You can't trust her!'
'Everyone deserves a second chance.'
"I b-believe you..."
"Really!?"
I nod and pat the seat beside me. She excitedly sprints over to me and I jump again.
"Hehe sorry..." She says anxiously.
"I'll leave you 2 be for now." Mr. Goth pats my back one last time and walks back to his desk.
"I've noticed that we haven't properly introduced ourselves...most people just call me Skate or SG so you can call me that too."
"I-I'm (Y/N)."
"That's such a pretty name!"
"O-Oh um...thanks...I guess..."
We chat for a little while and I actually warm up to her. The bell abruptly rings.
"Wanna exchange contact info?"
"U-Uh sure."
We give each other our phones and type in our numbers.
"C-Can you promise me s-something?"
"What is it?
"D-Don't let PJ f-find out about us b-being friends. I don't w-want you ruining your reputation b-because of me..."
"I mean if that's what you want, then sure. I'll keep it a secret." She smiles.
"Anyways, what period do you have next?"
"W-Wait, I have t-to check."
I reach into my backpack and take out my schedule, quickly scanning it.
"Drama w-with Mr. M-Mettaton."
"Hey! I have the same class too!"
"Y-You go first. They c-can't see us walk in t-together."
"Alright. And if you don't know, go downstairs and make a sharp right to get to the auditorium."
"T-Thanks. See you there."
"See ya!" She runs out of the library.
I wait 2 minutes and leave the library. I make sure I say goodbye to Mr. Goth and I am on my way.
