INDIANA, HAWKINS. HAWKINS MIDDLE SCHOOL.

I was in maths class, I had some kids stare at me whilst walking in, probably anxious, mike saw me and looked away, we were doing algebra and the teacher was giving out answers.

I have never felt more anxious in this classroom, so many children were looking at me and when I looked at them they turned away. it made me feel like a bully even though I don't even know these kids names.

"sir?" I asked, raising my hand, he paused and saw me.

"yes y/n?" he asked, I put down my hand and felt my leg bob up an down.

"may i stand outside for a second?" I asked with a quiver in my tone he nodded and carried on with the questions.

I quickly stood up and almost jogged out if the classroom I felt eyes burning on my back, I ran all the way towards the toilets and locked myself in one of the stalls reading the graphetti on the cold walls.

'zombie boy has a crush'
'periods suck.'
'y/n is a freak.'
'who saw y/n slap mike?'
'I did, what a bully'
'y/n y/l/n the school slut'

I pulled the seat down and sat on the toilet seat with my legs up to my chest. I was scared of myself. people thought I was bully but I felt like the victim here. these kids are bullying me.

I heard the bell go but stayed inside the stall, silently crying, I kept myself quiet and stayed still.

"y/n?" I head max yell inside of the toilets. "y/n come out please," she said I saw her shadow outside of the stall.

"no, leave me alone," I told her, hearing kids outside walk past the restrooms chatting.

"c'mon y/s/n, it's science you'll be next to me," she told me, still standing outside I didn't move.

"yeah and in a classroom of kids who think im a bully and the school slut," I fired back, she sighs and paused for a second, she's heard about people calling me that, it made me more upset but I was angry at the same time.

"c'mon y/s/n, the bell's gonna go," she told me.

"just go away max! I'm not going into science," I told her and she sighed again passing my bag through the bottom of the door.

"mike told me to give this to you," she said and her shadow walked away. I grabbed my bag and checked inside, saw everything that I owned was inside and a small note. I picked it up my vision blurred from crying, I sniffled and unfolded it.

'I'm sorry
-mike'

I felt my nostils flare and my muscles flex, I cried and watched the note shake in my angry hands. Suddenly burning up, I dropped it and watched it light up, the fire bell ringing.

"shit," I mumbled, hearing classrooms gather together and head out to the field. I waited until I think I heard all the classroom gone. I began to stomp on the note and walked out. I ran out onto the field seeing will pushing against teachers yelling at them.

"I need to go find her," I heard him yell at my maths teachers face. Dustin and max were trying to calm him down. he looked over to me and saw me walking into the field, running towards me.

I walked closer to him as he collided into me, hugging me tightly, I hugged back and cried for a while.

"did you set it off?" he whispered as he pulled away, I nodded, wiping my eyes as he went to hug me again.

"Y/n!" dustin and max yelled running to me, I saw lucas running behind. "are you okay? Are you hurt?" Dustin asked, checking me.

"whats wrong?" lucas then asked, swing me crying, I shook my head and pulled away from will.

"nothing, let's go," I said, holding onto my backpack strap.

"no something is wrong tell us," max said, I looked at will he gave me a nod. I looked back at them.

"I'll tell you at break, but you can't tell anybody," I told them, they looked at each other and nodded.

will held my hand and we went off to our previous classroom, in alphabetical order. he walked to his spot and I went to mine.

"y/n? where have you been?" Mr. Clarke asked me, I shook my head. "come stand at the front, you don't look to good," he said and I moved up next to him. will stood at the front and he smiled at me, I smiled back.

the fire alarm stopped and classes were taken inside line by line.

"okay kids, we have five minutes until break so once we get back grab your stuff put your books away and you'll be dismissed," Mr. Clarke announced to his classroom they nodded and our row were walking to our classroom. Me and will stood together, linked arms.
