T.W: anxiety attack

y/n pov

it's been around a week since starting school. for the most part it's been okay. i haven't really talked to anyone other than the odd conversation with tom- it's not that i like to be isolated from everyone else, i just struggle around new people.

my mind kept circling back to this one day. i was sat at the back of the class: alone with my thoughts. i heard my name and a question following it. i didn't know the answer so replied with, "i don't know the answer, sir." but he kept on repeating the same question. 'what was so hard to understand?' i thought.  then the worst thing that could happen did: the entire class started laughing. 

"you should know the answer." 

"the answers not hard." 

"the questions so easy." 

"answer the question, y/n."

the exact words coming out of his mouth- taunting me. but my mind was still blank. the walls starting closing in, my breathing getting shallower. i was so scared- the teacher started to get mad. "i'm sorry, i don't know the answer," i  quietly wept with tears gathering in my eyes, blurring my sight. i felt the hot tears caress my skin as they fell down my cheeks. god i was now crying. i felt so stupid. quickly, i wiped away my tears- i decided the best thing to do was to just leave the classroom and head to the toilets. so that's what i did.

i was zoned out in class. i noticed the teacher kept on repeating the same question over and over to y/n. what a douche. i then noticed y/n voice grew shaky, her legs were trembling under the table, and i noticed the tears streaming down her face. she got up in a haste and left the room. i looked around the room to see everyone whispering, presumably about her. without question, i followed her. before i left, i flashed the teacher a patronizing look- making sure he knew what a dick he is.

"y/n?" i whispered softly, waiting for an answer. i heard quiet sobs coming from the end stall. i knocked gently, indicating i was coming in. there she was, hurdled into a ball in the corner. without a word, i sat next to her, pulling her into a hug. she rested her head into my chest and began to sob. i stroked her hair letting her know she was safe.

"thank you." came her shaky voice from in my chest. i just hugged her tighter.

we probably sat there for 5 minutes. i spoke softly, "do you want a minute alone?" she nodded her head in response. i wiped a tear from cheek then got up slowly and headed back to class.

i had no clue how long i was there with tom. i didn't want it to end. after he left i just sat there, trying to gather myself together. i realized i was probably in enough bother leaving class so i got up, fixed my makeup, and went back to class.

walking in, as i predicted, everyone just looked at me. i kept my head down and sat. my leg was bouncing up and down a bit, tom noticed. he placed his hand on mine and circled his thumb to calm me.
