everything i wanted, billie eilish.

AFTER FIRST PERIOD, jaelin and robin went to his locker to grab the things jaelin needed to patch him up. it was a free period and they were about to leave to go fix robin up when suddenly they saw finney rush into the boy's bathroom.

moments after finney, the three boys he mentioned to them before, walked in right after. the two teens shared an annoyed look.

"okay, at this point, they're just asking for it now." jaelin muttered to robin who hummed in response.

she accompanied robin to the bathroom and walked inside. though, jaelin leaned against the wall just before the main bathroom, making herself hidden.

also because there was no way she was actually going into the boy's bathroom. she may have done it once in middle school, but that didn't mean she'd do it again. plus, she wouldn't like it if boys came into the girl's bathroom, so it was only fair.

she was only at the entrance just in case another fight breaks out- which was highly unlikely, and also to see if finney was alright.

"dipshits, move." robin told the three boys in front of him. jaelin had to cover her mouth to stop herself from laughing at the mere image of the three boys moving aside for him.

"hey, finn." robin greeted his best friend as he made his way to one of the sinks and turned the tap on, "what's happening?"

"you know, just, keeping on keeping on, i guess." finney replied, not taking his eyes off of the three boys.

jaelin frowned, knowing it was a lie. at the same time, robin looked up towards the three boys- his eyes telling them that he knew what was actually happening. "uh-uh.." he looked back down.

suddenly, an idea to scare them off popped into his head as he started washing off any blood from his knuckles, "moose got some damn sharp teeth. knuckles bled all first period."

jaelin heard footsteps approaching, and then robin's voice again. "wait," he spoke in the midst of grabbing some tissues, "fuck with finn again.."

he looked from the mirror to each one of the boys, "i fuck with you."

the boys cowered at his words, but stayed still, not knowing wether they could leave or not. finney looked at them in surprise, eternally thanking robin. he owed him more than ever.

robin continued to get the rest of the tissue paper he needed, but stopped once he noticed the three boys were still there. he rolled his eyes, "you can leave now."

the three boys shared a look before wasting no time in exiting. on the way out, the three jumped slightly at jaelin's presence.

"pull this shit again and you won't live to see another day." she spoke coldly with her arms crossed, still leaning against the wall.

the three boys looked down and didn't hesitate to sprint out the bathroom. robin chuckled, seeing finney's shocked face through the mirror.

"aylin's here?"

"the one and only." she went back to her normal tone, "hey finney boy, you good?"

finney could hear the smile in her voice, making him smile slightly, "i'm good. why are you hiding? i didn't even notice you were there."

"that's the point, finn. besides, there's no way i'm stepping near there. that's gross." she shook her head even though they couldn't see her.

finney rolled his eyes playfully before going to do his business. jaelin grimaced at the sound, "can you pee a little quieter!?"

"deal with it, aylin." he laughed, "by the way, thank you guys."

robin nodded once before going back to his knuckles, "you're gonna have to stand up for yourself one of these days."

"yeah, finn. me and robin won't always be there to help- this is a prime example." jaelin told him with as much kindness as possible.

finney nodded, "yeah..i know."

jaelin heard the sound of tape and then remembered about robin's knuckles, "robin are your knuckles okay? they were pretty fucked up."

"they're all good jae, don't worry." robin replied as he continued to tape the tissue around his knuckles.

"speaking of which, why'd you fight moose?" finney asked him curiously.

robin shook his head a little, "he was just shit talking me and jae. pretty sure he'd back down..nope!" the three laughed.

"i was so surprised when he swung to be honest." he admitted. finney finished his business and went to wash his hands.

he grabbed a tissue and went to the other side of robin towards the sink, and robin turned around the other way, almost finishing tending to his knuckles. it was truly satisfying to say the least.

finney started washing his hands, "looked like you really hurt him."

"i was just gonna knock his ass down. whale on him a bit. but that wouldn't draw no blood." robin leaned on a stall door and faced him, "jae gave the signal that i could, anyway."

"don't bring me into this, arellano." jaelin called out.

the two boys looked to the direction of her voice before laughing a bit. robin shrugged, "whatever, but in a situation like that, the more blood, the better. right jae?"

jaelin grinned, "obviously."

he finished taping the tissue onto his knuckles and held the bandaged fist up, "for the crowd, you know. it makes a stronger point."

finney nodded, not surprised that the two wanted to do it for entertainment purposes as well.

"me and jae saw texas chainsaw massacre friday night, you seen it?" robin asked the dirty blond, wanting to steer away from talking about the fight.

"that movie's rated R, my dad would never take me to see that." he took the crumpled tissue and tossed it into the bin inside the stall opposite him before processing his words.

"hold on, aylin went with you? i swear she's like, five years old, how'd you manage that?" finney grinned whilst robin started laughing.

"finn you're so lucky we're in this bathroom right now or so help me." jaelin started as finney laughed along.

"my uncle takes us to the drive-in sometimes. we see everything. but man, that movie, it's the best. ever."

"better than enter the dragon?" finney raised his brows.

"well, okay, maybe second best." robin corrected himself as the two laughed again.

"you know, i wanna see a bruce lee movie one day. like, um, maybe if it comes on TV, you know?"

"oh you will, finn, don't worry." jaelin added, "there's loads floating around if you find the right channels."

finney smiled slightly, "yeah hopefully."

robin pushed himself from leaning against the stall and walked towards finney, "hey, um, you got time to stop by my house after school?"

finney furrowed his brows, "i thought aylin helped you with math?"

"uh, actually, he's a lost cause. i gave up yesterday." jaelin bluntly answered. finney couldn't keep in his laughter as robin rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly.

"anyway," robin spoke as finney stopped laughing, "can you walk me through it? if i get another F, i'm suspended."

jaelin's eyes widened, "you told me you were getting C's?!"

"oops?" robin replied sheepishly as jaelin scoffed.

finney chuckled, "yeah sure."

"i'm coming with!" jaelin called out with a smile. it's been a while since the three of them hung out, even if it was finney helping robin with math, jaelin didn't want to lose this chance of hanging out with two of her favourite people.
