A/N: do not worry my friends, I am making a part 2 to "You Left Me... || Mike" for those who want one :)

● ● ●

Y/n isn't the best in school, but only when it comes to reputations. She's smart, a student who gets straight A's, but she's somewhat social.

All the girls hate her. She's picked on by them, they call her names, sometimes physically hurt her. She has a couple friends like her, but that's it.

And it's not just the girls. The guys too, but they don't do as much. Finn is the most popular, so of course all the girls swoon over him and his looks.

Y/n has a huge crush on him, but can't say anything, nor show it, as it would lead to more problems with the populars.

Finn is in y/n's gym, and this week, is partner dancing week. It sucks. The last year it was group, now it's partner, and y/n is dreading it.

Standing around in the gym after playing dodgeball, the students wait for the teacher's words. Y/n stands off to the side, away from the girls so she doesn't get into anything.

Finn watches her from where he stands. He's always had his eyes out for her. She wasn't like the popular girls who dressed up and put so much makeup on, or tried to get with any guy in the school.

She barely wore makeup due to being too lazy to do it in the morning for school, and always wore sweatshirts to school or dressed normally if she felt good that day.

In fact, she was the only one who never tried to flirt with him or even talk to him for that matter. The most interaction they've had with each other was when he saw her at the movies with her brother and she smiled at him.

A whistle blew, snapping him out of his trance, and making y/n quickly look up and to the direction it was sounded.

"As you all know, this week, we learn to dance with a partner! The other times we've done this with other grades, we let everybody figure out who they want to partner up with by themselves."

"Therefore, this year, the boys will pick the girl they wanna dance with." The teacher speaks aloud, and y/n's heart sinks.

Nobody's gonna pick her. She's gonna either get a girl partner after all is done, or get stuck with a random guy. Either way, it's gonna end up bad.

On the other hand, Finn's eyes light up, automatically darting to y/n. Today's finally going to be the day he gets the chance to talk to her.

"Boys, you may now find your partner." Finn automatically gets up from the bottom bleacher starts walking towards y/n.

Y/n keeps her head down, not wanting to find that everybody has a partner, especially Finn.

A tap is felt on her shoulder, and she looks up from the group, coming face to face with the one and only, Finn Wolfhard.

He smiles down at her, y/n being a couple inches shorter. "Hey."

"Uhm.. I- uh- h-hey." She stutters.

"I was thinking, maybe you could be my partner?" He says, more sounding like a question.

Y/n quick darts her eyes away from Finn, looking around at all the girls, and find them glaring at her, and quickly looks back to him, shaking her head.

"No. I-I can't, I'm sorry." She manages to get out.

"Why?"

Y/n sighs. "Because the other girls will fucking kill me. I talk to anybody and they automatically think I'm trying to get with them and call me a slut and shit. I'm not doing that."

"I won't let them hurt you." Finn says, and her heart flutters.

"If that's true, then yes. I'll totally be your partner." She smiles.

"Mark my words." He smiles, wrapping his arm around her shoulders.

"We aren't going to get started today, there being only 5 minutes left, but tomorrow we'll start. You guys will be learning ballroom dancing first.." The teacher continues on, but y/n stops paying attention.

She hears Finn chuckle a little, and looks up at him. "What?"

"Who doesn't know how to ballroom dance yet?" He asks.

Y/n frowns, looking down. "Me." She mumbles, and Finn instantly regrets his words.

"No, I was just joking- I didn't-"

She shakes her head, giving a slight smile. "It's fine, Finn. I would understand why you would, you're very popular and everything so you've had experience, taking a girl to a dance and whatever. Don't apologize."

"It seems that I've spent too much time, so go to the locker rooms and I'll see you tomorrow." Is heard from the teacher, and y/n starts walking away and to the locker room, sure she's gonna get crap from the girls anyway.

"Wait!" Finn runs in front of y/n, making her stop in her tracks. She raises an eyebrow at him, giggling a bit.

"Yes?"

He scratches the back of his neck. "I-I'll see you later? Maybe we could hang out at lunch or free period or something?"

"Sure. I'd like to, I guess." Finn gives a cheeky smile before running off the the boys locker room.

Walking into the girls locker room, setting her bag down next to her gym locker, she doesn't even get a chance to really turn around before she's slammed against the lockers.

Groaning, she hold her hands up to her head from it hitting the locker so hard.

"You think you can just go and steal Finn from all of us? Think you can take him for yourself, slut? Huh?" One of the girls says, shoving her down.

"Who the hell does she think she is?" Another girl says.

"You don't even deserve him. You're a peice of shit girl who just thinks she can get into every guys pants." Another kicks her shin.

"Whore."

"Bitch."

"Little Shit."

Things are heard from the girls as some continue to kick her places as she tries to block the kicks and hits. Stomach. Shin. Feet. Hip.

Finn was the first one out, and wanted to wait for y/n, yet he hasn't seen one girl except for about 2 come out of the girls locker room.

Finally having enough, not caring, Finn bursts into the girls locker room, rounding the corner to see girls beating on y/n as she's backed against the lockers.

"What the fuck is wrong with you people!" His voice echoes through the room, making all of them stop and turn to him, mouths gapped.

"She's trying to get into your pants, Finn. Trying to steal you away for herself." One of them walks up to him, but he shoves her out of the way, walking over to y/n, pushing others out of the way.

"All of you get out of here. You're the sluts, not y/n." Some girls gasp, others huffing as they pile out the door.

"Y/n.." Finn trails off, y/n slowly lifting her head from being tucked between her knees, her arms shielded up around her head.

He sees the couple tears traveling down her cheeks, and wipes them away, moving hair away from being in front of her face.

"Why?"

"I told you. They'd kill me... and they were pretty close to it." She breathes out as he helps her up.

"They didn't get to, though. And actually... I wouldn't mind you having me all to yourself."

Y/n smiles shyly, wraps her arms around Finn's neck, hugging him tightly. Finn's wrap around her waist, hugging her back just as tight.

"I didn't think you were serious when you told me you wouldn't let them hurt me.. i mean they still kinda did, but you stopped them. Thank you for that." She says, looking up at him, and he gives her a smile.

"Mark my words." He repeats, resting his chin on the top of her head.
