————————————————

Astra and Jermey are right, the next time you and Mike see each other isn't as weird as you both think it's going to be. The only difference is that now every feeling you both felt before is amplified because now the two of you understand what it is and what it means. If anything, it's more exciting.

October 10th, 1986

The second you and Michael step foot into the school building, Astra's already dragging you away by your arm. "I gotta go to the bathroom come with!". As she's pulling you through the hallway you both hear some yelling from what sounds like multiple boys. Assuming it's just another argument they're having amongst themselves, which is an extremely common occurrence in your school, you ignore it and keep on walking.

When you both start to realize the sounds of the yelling is not getting quieter and is in fact actually getting louder you guys stop to turn around.

A group of three really pissed off boys are pushing through the other people in the hallway and from the looks of it they're headed towards you and Astra. "What could those idiots be so pissed off about so early in the damn morning?" You whisper to Astra. And then as if on cue, one of them yells your last name while speeding up once he sees you. "Uh- y/n do you know them?"

"No. No I do not."

The three of them surround you and Astra. "Can I help you?" You ask them. The one in the middle speaks up "You're y/n l/n."

"Good observation. Who the fuck are you?"

"You messed with our homie, Matt. At the drive in movies" they get closer to both you, closing you in more. Astras grip on your arm tightens. "I did. What about it?" They look at each other and laugh. "You don't mess with one of us and get away with it." They get even closer but you don't back away. However, Astra does. She lets go of your arm and squeezes out of the circle they created. Considering they have little to no interest in her, they let her go.

Astra starts to run back towards where the group is. "There's no way she can handle a 1v3"

The boy on your right shoves you backwards causing you to stumble back a little. You drop your backpack and kick it to the side. "There's no way I'm letting myself get pushed around by these assholes, so I guess it looks like I'm gonna be kicking ass at eight in the morning" People around you start to stop talking and turn their attention to you.

Astra comes running up to the group gasping for air. "Woah what happened to you" Chris laughs. "Where's y/n?" Michael asks looking around. "She's about to fight three guys you need to go help her" she says in one breath. "Three?!? Why?!??"

"I'll explain later just go help her please they look strong" without a second thought, Michael drops his backpack and is already on his way. Jake picks it up, "This is not gonna end well"

"Wait so, why are they fighting?" Raiden asks. "Wellll, she told me not to tell but it's about to come out anyway, and it was more Mike who she didn't want to know so I guess it doesn't really matter. Long story short that creepo Matt came up to us when we were on line at the movies and he was being all weird to her and he was holding her waist and wouldn't let go so she kind of kicked him in the nuts and punched him in the face and now these three are Matt's minions who want to fight her because of it."

You shove the one who shoved you back. Everyone starts around you starts to do childish "oooo's". This seems to piss him off even more so he swings- but you're able to move out of the way. You go to swing as well but he catches it and slams you into the lockers. It knocks the wind out of you but you're able to still use your non dominant hand to get a hit in, to your surprise it connected with his face- hard. "FUCKING BITCH" he yells holding the side of his face with one hand. His little buddies are cheering him on. "Get that bitch bro!" "You've got it man!". Taking the opportunity while he's somewhat occupied holding his face you kick him in the stomach. This seems to really set him off because before you can process what just happened you feel warm liquid start to trickle down into your lips and chin from your nose; he punched you in the face. Very quickly, the pain started to kick in. Your hands fly to your face to wipe the blood and hold your nose now feeling the sharp pains in it. But did that stop you? Absolutely not. If anything it just fueled you even more. Feeling the rush of adrenaline wash over you again, you punch him right back. You feel someone tug on your arm, making you stumble to the right. It's the other guy. His fist connects with the side of your ribs so hard it makes you stumble over to the left: where the other guy is. He kicks the other side of your ribs, making you drop to your knees in pain.
