The boy next door

Chapter 1

Before we start i thought I should mention this story takes place after covid so like yeah.

'This is just the beginning'

New year, better experience? I think looking into my mirror, Covid made everything become so different and no one left there houses for ages, online school was a nice time I didn't have to interact with anyone at school, I don't talk to people besides my two best friends Bailey and Ashley and my brother I guess. During lockdown I worked on myself and I have to admit I've changed a lot , for the better and I'm finally proud of how I look and feel now. Even though I am finally happy with myself I'm still nervous as hell to go back to school, I've never been popular but I don't care until it came to the point of bullying but it stopped for a bit after Lucas stood up for me but it didn't last to long cause it started a week later, like I know he was just trying to help but it didn't too much, That makes me not what to go back because I can't stand it but I've also become a new person I really reinvented myself over lockdown and people at school will stare and assume shit and I can't deal with that. I get interrupted by all my thoughts by my idiotic brother walking into my room
Lucas- we have to goooo
Y/n- ok ok I'm coming
Lucas leaves my room and I take a deep breathe guess I have to get over it someday I then grab my bag and phone and leave my room

In the car
We're both sitting in the car and I'm just watching so many people walking into school and Lucas is about to get out of the car and then he stops and closes the door and looks at me
Lucas- y/n you'll be fine who gives a fuck about peoples opinions
Y/n- me
Lucas- I thought you didn't
Y/n- yeah I don't but the kids here are assholes who bring you down until you can't do anything but cry!
Lucas- trust me you'll be fine, just br the bad ass bitch you are at home and every where else
Y/n- but-
Lucas- y/n!
Y/n- fine I will
Lucas- thank you now let's go!
Lucas gets out of the car and I take another deep breath and then get out as well, we walk into school and so many people are staring at us I look at Lucas and he gives me a look like 'be a bad bitch' and I just take another deep breath and just ignore everyone. Once we get inside Lucas pulls me to the side and puts his hands on my shoulders
Lucas- be a bad bitch and you'll survive the day
Y/n- ok I will
And with that he lets go of me and walks off, I turn to look for my friends and spot Ashley and Bailey over near our lockers and I walk over to them
Y/n- hey babes
Ashley- heyyy
Bailey- hey hey
Y/n- y'all look stunning as always
Ashley- look at you
Y/n- stoppp
Bailey- ok so any tea y'all
Ashley- not really
Y/n- yeah same here
I turn to my locker and but in my combination to open it as I'm putting my bag away into my locker I hear some guy compliment one of us and Ash, Bailey and I turn around to look at him shocked
Y/n- who did he compliment?
Ash- you babe
Y/n- me? Why?
Bailey- just look at you, your stunning
Y/n- nah that's not possible I don't get compliments
Ash- the old you didn't the new you does babe
We turn back and I continue getting stuff out of my locker as Ash and Bailey keep talking I can't help but think that how much things have changed in just five minutes of being here

First class
Walking through the hallways I see my class and I turn into it, I walk in and see some people I kind of know and then I look to the back of the class and see a group of the like popular guys and I sign and roll my eyes the teacher calls for everyone to take a seat and I look around the room trying to find a empty seat and the only empty seat is next to god Vinnie, I try to look for another seat but there isn't one
Teacher- hurry up y/n take your seat
I sigh and walk over to the empty seat next to Vinnie, I hate this day now, Vinnie and I haven't talked since we started high school and we're both almost done now. As I sit down I avoid contact with Vinnie because I don't want to deal with him at all, he still talks to Lucas yet he basically straight up ignored me and only talked to me when needed so I feel no need to talk to him either. The teacher starts to talk and I get out my book as he starts to write notes onto the board and I copy it down into my book
Vinnie- so why are you in this class?
I decide to ignore him so I can pay attention and then he pulls away my book and I look at him
Y/n- are you fucking serious
Vinnie- woah calm down princess
Y/n- don't call me that now give me my book
Vinnie- not until you answer my question
Y/n- I'm here cause they put my up a year for this class only, now give me back my book
Vinnie- ok never knew you were actually smart
Y/n- it's just business management it's not that hard (that's what it's called for me I dunno bout y'all so yeah)
Vinnie- ok smarty pants
Y/n- I recommend if you wanna pass this class you should probably take notes
Vinnie- yeah whatever
I roll my eyes and continue to take notes until Vinnie takes my book again
Y/n- seriously!
Vinnie- why out of all places did you sit here
Y/n- you think I wanted to sit here?
Vinnie- well I mean any girl would
Y/n- ok that might be true but I would rather sit with next to the teachers desk than here
Vinnie- woah so when did you become so bitchee (love Christina haha)
Y/n- since I learnt that I hate people
I take my book back off him and give him a fake smile then continue taking notes, after awhile the teacher gives us questions to answer and as I work on them Vinnie is just talking with his friends until the teacher asks him what question 3 is and I laugh to myself because I know he didn't do anything and that's when Vinnie takes my book and uses my answers to help him and the teacher looks impressed and goes to ask another student for question 4
Vinnie- you know what maybe it's not so bad having you sit next to me
He hands me back my book and smirks and I cross my arms annoyed. Once class is over I grab my book and leave the class and head to my next one.
