-Y/N's POV-
I pushed open the doors before Clay could say anything else. I strutted through the cafeteria, acting like I owned it.
I saw Zak laughing with Floris in the corner, Darryl was in the middle of them as they pushed him at each other.
My nose twitched then I grabbed the nearest thing I saw which was milk off of someone's tray. Then I marched over to them and splashed the milk in Zak's face, making everyone's eyes widen.
Y/N:
"Don't mess with my friend, assholes." I grabbed Darryl's wrist and led him to an empty table.
DARRYL:
"W—wow Y/N, thank you." He smiled.
Y/N:
"Of course. You can have lunch with us everyday if you'd like." I smiled.
DARRYL:
"Y—yeah." He laughed, "That'd be great!"
I nodded then I sat down next to Darryl at the table. Clay walked up to the table quickly.
CLAY:
"What the hell was that Y/N??"
Y/N:
"They were picking on Darryl, so I taught them a lesson." I raised my eyebrows then ate one of Darryl's carrots off of his plate without breaking eye contact with Clay.
CLAY:
"Y—Y/N, that's not—"
George and Nick showed up.
NICK:
"Hey guys."
They sat down at the table with us.
NICK:
"What's up?"
CLAY:
"What's up is—" he pointed at me.
Y/N:
"Shut the fuck up." I snapped.
George and Nick's eyes widened as they exchanged nervous glances at Clay.
CLAY:
"Y/N..." he started.
Niki suddenly walked up behind me.
NIKI:
"Y/N...?"
I turned around to her.
NIKI:
"Can you please tell me why we can't eat lunch today?" She frowned as she messed with her fingers.
Y/N:
"Why??" I laughed as I shook my head, "Ask your boyfriend. Considering the fact that he hits on me, along with everyone else and you are too naive to see it. Guess what, Niki? He doesn't like you, he's using you to make me jealous. He always has been."
Her expression dropped as tears filled her eyes fast.
Y/N:
"So that's why I don't want you here, Niki. Because I know your whore boyfriend would join us and I know that I'd wanna kick him in the balls every time he spoke. And I don't want your in denial ass here if you won't believe me."
Everyone looked shocked at me with widened eyes.
Y/N:
"So go on now, go back to your whore." I raised an eyebrow as my jaw clenched.
Niki looked down with a frown then quickly left the cafeteria.
CLAY:
"Okay, nope." He grabbed my arm, "We're leaving before you turn everyone in the school against you, c'mon."
I jerked my arm back.
Y/N:
"Let go—" I raised my voice.
CLAY:
"Fine." He raised his eyebrows and let go then after a few moments, he took my arm again and picked me up, throwing me over his shoulder.
Y/N:
"Clay!" I yelled.
CLAY:
"Don't make a scene, don't make a scene." He spoke calmly as he carried me out of the cafeteria.
George and Nick followed behind while I groaned in annoyance.
Clay finally set me down once we reached outside, at the front of the school.
Y/N:
"What the hell is your problem??" I shouted, straightening out my clothes and my hair.
CLAY:
"You! You're my problem." He snapped.
Y/N:
"Oh really?" I laughed as I shook my head.
GEORGE:
"Y/N, what's going on?" He frowned.
NICK:
"Yeah, why're you swearing and being rude to everyone?"
Y/N:
"Ask Clay." I raised my eyebrows as I crossed my arms.
Clay sighed.
CLAY:
"This morning, I called her too nice and she took that as a bad thing."
Y/N:
"Because it is a bad thing, Clay." I glared at him, "You think of me as this little cub that you have to protect 24/7 and today, I've just had enough of it and decided to stand up for myself."
CLAY:
"No, you decided to not hold back anymore."
Y/N:
"Same thing." I rolled my eyes.
GEORGE:
"Y/N...we like it that you're too nice..." he spoke quietly with a frown.
Y/N:
"Why? So you can protect me?" I felt slight tears forming in the corners of my eyes.
GEORGE:
"No because..." he sighed, "I don't wanna be friends with someone who doesn't hold back..."
My heart dropped as more tears filled my eyes.
NICK:
"Y/N, we like you for who you are...that's why we admire you so much..."
I swallowed hard while looking away from them.
CLAY:
"Y/N, please don't change just because you feel like you have to...remember our talk in the woods? How I said that you shouldn't settle?" He spoke softly.
I frowned as the tears overflowed my eyes.
CLAY:
"Yes, you should stand up for yourself but...that shouldn't change the nice girl that you are."
Y/N:
"Well maybe I don't like who I am..." my voice shook as the tears finally fell down my cheeks.
They all frowned at me as their eyes widened a little.
Y/N:
"Maybe I wear all this—" I motioned my hands to my outfit, "Because I don't feel confident without it...maybe I'm not beautiful without it...maybe all I have is my looks...after all, every guy who's ever liked me just saw me as this beautiful thing...maybe that's all I am..."
My best friends looked at me in disbelief.
CLAY:
"But there's so much to like about you besides that." He exchanged a glance with them.
NICK:
"Yeah you're..." he took a deep breath as he looked me up and down, "You're great, Y/N."
Y/N:
"Right..." I shook my head.
GEORGE:
"I like your smile..." he shyly smiled.
Y/N:
"A physical trait, great..." I mumbled.
CLAY:
"I like how you make me feel..." he blurted out, turning all of our heads.
Y/N:
"How do I make you feel then...?" I clenched my jaw.
CLAY:
"You...make me feel complete." He quietly said, "You make all of us do..."
I swallowed hard.
NICK:
"Yeah...you always know how to make all of us laugh and...you're there for us in your own ways..."
GEORGE:
"Yeah, like how you signed up for tutoring just so I wouldn't be alone." He raised his eyebrows as he sadly smiled at me.
NICK:
"And how you were there for me with my dad..."
CLAY:
"And like how you didn't want anything affecting my future, so you told me how much you didn't want any fights...you were trying to protect me..." he sadly smiled.
I took a deep breath as my shoulders dropped.
CLAY:
"Y/N, we love it that you're too nice. That's our favorite thing about you." He smiled at the others, "Please don't change who you are...we love you just the way you are..."
He said the last part quietly, making me sigh as more tears fell down my cheeks.
Y/N:
"I just wanna be alone..." I whispered.
The 3 of them exchanged glances at each other then nodded.
CLAY:
"Let us know if you need anything, okay?"
I nodded then walked away until I reached the football field.
Once I did, I took a seat on the bleachers as the sun shined down, almost blinding me. I swallowed hard while squinting at the field, remembering everything that's happened this week.
"So much for a last good school year." I thought with a sigh as I held myself.
After being alone with my thoughts for maybe 15 minutes, I heard chatter get closer to me.
WILBUR:
"Darling, she was lying." I heard his faint voice say.
My eyebrows squished together as I looked under the bleachers to see Niki and Wilbur holding hands.
NIKI:
"B—but she seemed so sure..." she said quietly.
WILBUR:
"Darling, Y/N has always had a crush on me, it's been so obvious. But, the only girl I'm interested in is you, I promise. She's just a desperate liar."
I frowned at him.
WILBUR:
"She's a hoe anyways. She always has her three best friends with her. She's probably had orgys with them several times, it wouldn't surprise me. Those fuckers have always liked her."
I rolled my tongue over the inside of my cheek as I glared at him, hard.
"I can't believe he's telling her all these lies." I thought as I shook my head.
WILBUR:
"Now c'mon, who're you gonna believe? A girl you've known for a week or your boyfriend? Besides, Y/N clearly thought you were stupid the whole time. Seems like she was the real one using you and I don't want you around that. I'd never hurt you like she did. You believe me, don't you?" He slightly smiled while titling his head.
Niki looked down with a frown, deep in thought. After a few moments, she lifted her head up with a sigh.
NIKI:
"Yeah...you're right..." she said quietly.
WILBUR:
"Of course I am. I don't want you being around her anymore, she'll just tell you nothing but lies and cause you stress."
Niki nodded as I sighed, my frown deepening.
NIKI:
"We should get to class." She gripped her backpack on her shoulder.
WILBUR:
"I'll catch up in a few. Got some things to do."
She nodded again, jogged towards the school then pulled the handle and walked inside.
Wilbur took a lighter and a pack of cigarettes out of his pocket and began lighting one. I clenched my jaw tightly at him and decided to not hold back one more time.
I hopped off the bleachers and once he heard me, his head shot up as I stood in front of him. His eyes widened slightly but returned to normal.
WILBUR:
"Hello darling, want one?" He held up the pack.
Y/N:
"I'd rather shove them up your ass."
Wilbur snorted as he breathed in the smoke then released it.
WILBUR:
"You know, this naughty little mouth of yours is really sexy." He stepped closer to me.
Y/N:
"You know what else is sexy? Kindness and common sense. Both of which, you severely lack."
Wilbur chuckled while shaking his head. He glanced at the football field then back at me.
Y/N:
"I heard what you told Niki." I crossed my arms.
WILBUR:
"What about it?"
Y/N:
"They're all lies."
WILBUR:
"What's your point?"
Y/N:
"My point..." I stepped closer to him so our faces were inches apart as I looked up at him, "Is that you've finally reached my breaking point."
Wilbur grinned while looking at my lips.
Y/N:
"Look at me." He shot his eyes up to meet mine as he bit his lip, "This girls been holding back all her life...so I suggest you get ready for a wildfire...because trust me...I'm gonna make you burn..."
❥A/N: What team are you on? Team Clay, Team George or Team Nick? I'm curious haha :)
