TWO MONTHS LATER...

Nora sighs happily as she watches you from a distance, on Bucky's lap with his arm draped around her. She smirks to herself, her plan worked better than she anticipated, but it's not enough. You're not fully disintegrating form this, not in the way she wants.

But the plan had been working pretty good so far, you lost the support of your friends, your boyfriend, your own family was angry. You deserved this.

After you got caught with her boyfriend in high school, she knew she had to play the long game. She wanted you to know that betraying her was unacceptable and that everyone who messed with her would pay the price.

Except that isn't the story of what really happened, she didn't catch you with her boyfriend at the time, she caught her boyfriend coming onto you, forcing you. But she never wanted to hear that story. Her precious little John Walker could never be someone who forced themselves onto women. You being the one who came onto him was more accurate, according to her.

It caused you to break down, you drank every day to handle the stress, you didn't eat much either. Luckily then Tony, your brother, had been there to pull you out. But even now he doesn't see the signs.

This time around you handled it differently, you cry a lot, losing sleep fast, you don't eat much either but the drinking was off the table, you couldn't have Nora take that achievement away from you. It's the only thing you have left.

Your eyes try to focus on the book, you can't really concentrate with Nora boring literal holes into your body, but you try anyway. The letters seem to dance around the page as if they're mocking you as well. Tears gather in the corners of your eyes, but before they have a chance to fall, You hear some shuffling in front of you. You see someone sitting down in the corner of your eye. 'Hello..'

You slowly look up. 'What do you want?' You ask with quite the attitude.

The raven haired boy in front of you smiles at that. You don't really know what's so funny, but you do have to admit that his smile is quite contagious. 'I wanted to say hello... you uh, you look like you can use some company...'

Nora is already fuming in her seat, well as far as you can call Bucky's thighs a seat. You were supposed to stay alone!

'You thought wrong.. I am doing fine on my own, besides, aren't you on team Nora in this school?' You shoot back, maintaining your attitude.

'I'm not on Nora's side, I'm not on any side here actually, not until I hear the full story anyway...'

'So that's why you're here... you just want to hear the story from me...' you lean back in your chair with your arms crossed.

'No.. I just wanted to know if you need someone to talk to... you seem.. lonely...'

'Does this usually work?' You can't help but smirk a little at his surprised look.

'I beg your pardon?'

'Does this thing usually work on other girls?' You repeat the comment and he chuckles. 'I never asked other girls, I just figured you'd want someone to talk to..'

You stare at him, unsure wether to actually trust him and his intentions. You've actually met before, he's the little brother of one of your former friends, of course you've seen him around. But that doesn't mean he's not here on his brothers orders.

'Look... I don't believe you deserve all this shit.. so I thought I'd come by and tell you that I want to be your friend...'

'We barely talked when your brother and I were still friends, why do you want to be my friend so badly all of the sudden?' Your eyes narrow at him.

'I always wanted to be your friend... you just never paid that much attention to me...'

Now that makes you feel terrible. Perhaps you're a little naive but maybe he just wants to be your actual friend, lord knows you need them at the moment.

You let out a groan, falling forward on your books. 'God I feel terrible...I'm sorry...'

Loki chuckles as he mimics your actions by laying in front of you, on the table. He leans his chin on his hands as he peers at you. You slowly lift your head to look him right in the eyes.

'I'm really sorry.. I had no idea I was shutting you out..'

'It's okay..' he chuckles slightly making you smile back at him.

Up close he can see all the neglect. The tiredness creates bags under your eyes, the lack of food makes the bones in your face more visible. You look terrible, and he silently agrees on that.

'I uh.. I could actually use a friend about now... that doesn't mean we're besties instantly though..'

'I wasn't expecting you to act like we already are.. I understand.. so why don't we just go get coffee? And just go from there?' He suggests.

Surprisingly the whole idea isn't that disgusting to you. You'd actually like that. 'Now?' You ask and he nods.

'You can't be serious... Thor I thought your brother hated Y/n?' Nora asks him, aggravated by the sudden friendship attempt she overheard.

'He always said he did... I am as baffled as you are Nora...' he replies with wide eyes.

'Why does it matter?' Natasha asks with a deep frown.

Nora ignores Natascha's question, instead she glances at Steve sitting next to her and Bucky. His jaw is tightened. He's clearly holding back instead of intervening. He's still in love with you. Nora sighs at that, of course he still is.

It's just a minor setback, she has just the solution to this newfound friendship, she just has to keep going.

'So.. any of you guys want some coffee?' She asks with a sweet smile, hiding away the sinister smirk.
