The one for me ? (Michael Afton x reader)

I bite my tongue, such a stupid habit. I never had it and suddenly I do it all the time. Dread and thoughts fill my head. What would happen if.. I met Katrina again?

You're at fault.

I groan internally and wish I never thought about it. I'm such a huge over-thinker. It's so unintentionally sometimes. I stare into nothing and just start thinking and thinking and thinking. Whatever, who cares what she'll do?? She's just some moody teenager. Full of herself. As if she's all that.

I go to grab the Airpods in my pocket but instead I'm met with emptiness. Dammit, I forgot them. Listening to music is a MUST in the morning. Great, already off to a dumb start to the day. I won't lie, I think it's nice to just finally pay attention to my surroundings because often I get so lost into the music I forget where I am. I look down at my phone and it looks right back at me. My notification hub was empty. I sigh and rest my head on the window. God this bus smells like ashes.

I hear whispers behind me and I turn around. I notice two girls giggling at their phones and looking at me. I raise my eyebrows. Are they laughing at me? They go silent then burst out laughing. I clear my throat and turn back around.

What the hell is their problem?

I brush it off and look out the window again, immersing myself in the scenery. I won't lie, the sunlight peeking through the trees was gorgeous. I take it all in and exhale. I don't care anymore, nothing could ruin this day. Soon the bus finally arrives at my school. That took ages..

It comes to a halt and the doors open. I sit midway so I wait for a couple of people to exit before I join the line. I let out a quick thank you to the bus driver and I'm outside again. I shiver and cross my arms, hoping to feel warmer. I joined the herd of students walking into the school gates. How I hate this place.. yet it's so pleasing to the eye.

The fountain, the trees overhanging like a gateway, the leaves billowing in the breeze- isn't it just perfect? But my gaze moves directly to our usual bench where I can see Kasy there. I suppress a smile and hurry on over. As I walked I noticed the same stares planted on everyone's faces.

A couple of people whisper as I walk next to them. What the actual hell? I take my bag off and sit next to Kasy. She looks at me and smiles weakly.

"Kasy.. what's going on?" I bit my lip and looked around. Everyone looked so serious. No more like they were disgusted. Like they knew something..but what? Kasy lets out a heavy sigh and clears her throat.

"Man Y/n I don't know what you did..but everyone sorta knows" She puts a hand on my shoulder as if showing empathy. "Know what?" I scoffed. Seriously, what do they know?

"Katrina said that you.. uh.. beat her up last Friday" She seemed awkward with me.

...

I sat there in disbelief. It's as if.. I didn't hear her say it right. Was I hallucinating the words or??

"..what..?" I say softly. Kasy looks around and quickly says the same thing as before. Okay I wasn't hallucinating.

"WHAT THE HELL?" I hysterically yell, in fury. I couldn't believe it. A couple people turned around to look at me and Kasy shot them a look. She gives me a sad smile before shushing me.

Now everyone thinks you're the bad guy.

"She said that you were jealous of Michaels old relationship with her and so you threatened her." She said simply. I put a hand over my mouth to suppress a scream.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THAT GIRL??

"What the actual fuck." Swears escape my mouth as I curse her entire existence. I have no words. Kasy nods before she pulls out a paper.
