TW: multiple panic attacks

(Time skip to the Monday the next week)
Karl POV:

On Saturday I spent the night at SapNap's it was awesome slightly awkward after he offered me to have my first kiss but once you look past that it was pretty fun.

I hate Monday's so much. Luckily the bullies are all tired from their weekend sports so they shouldn't be mean. But that doesn't mean other people have to be nice.

I walk into class the first class of the day science one of my least favourites. I was sitting listening like I usually do when the teacher gave us a project she was explaining and as she was I was getting more and more terrified.

"So class I'm giving you all an assignment. It's an oral presentation and you have to work with a partner. For the project you need to do research on one natural disaster why it happens when it happens what happens when it happens etc."

I feel my breathing getting faster and faster I feel my palms getting sweaty and my face is getting hot. I write on a piece of paper and raise my hand when the teacher calls on me I show the writing on the piece of paper bathroom? The teacher says "yeah go but be quick." I go and I bring my phone.

When I get to the bathroom I go into one of the stalls I don't lock the door because no one is in here but if someone comes in I'll lock it. I sit on the floor and lean against the wall I slip into a state of panic. I get out my phone and text SapNap I know that he has a free period today and I know that he's spending it in the library I send him a message

Me:
help me Im in theee bathrooom I ned you comme fSt pleSe

SapNap POV

I have a free period this morning I decided to spend it in the library. I was scrolling through twitter when I see a notification from Karl

Karl💜:
help me Im in theee bathrooom I ned you comme fSt pleSe

I didn't even have time to answer I got up and went to the bathroom I grabbed all my stuff and went to go find him. Why was everything spelt so incorrectly. That's not usual.

I get to the bathroom and call out Karl's name. Then the door of one of the stalls gets pushed I assume that's the sign that that's where Karl is, I go into that stall and see Karl sitting on the floor.

He is breathing extremely fast he's crying and shaking. I ask him what's wrong and he doesn't answer I'll wait till he's calmer I sit on the floor with him and pull him into a tight hug. I run my fingers through his hair and start saying "you're ok calm down you'll be fine it'll be over soon."

I've dealt with panic attacks myself and I know how horrible they are.

After he's calmed down I pass him his phone and tell him to type out what happened.

Science oral presentation w/partner.

He used barely any words but I still understand perfectly I try to come up with a solution then I come up with the perfect thing.

I ask who is teacher is mrs.insert name here why? I respond saying "she's my science teacher too. I'm sure she'll give my class the same project what if we ask her if we can do it together you and me? It's not about the partner ok it's a little about the partner but I can't do an ORAL presentation oral means out of mouth I don't talk. How am I supposed to do an oral presentation? "Good point can we go talk to her together? Anyways. Please." He nods and we get up off the floor.

We walk to the class. We have 5 minutes until our next class starts and ironically mine is science and Karl has a spare. (A/N spare is another word for free period)

We walk into the class together she's sitting at her desk me and Karl walk up to her "hi Mrs.insert name we had a quick question I was wondering if you were going to give my class the same presentation project as Karl's class?"

"Yeah I was planning to why?"

"We had a question about that we were wondering if we could work together for the project?"

"No"

"Why no please? It'll help our grades I promise you."

"Nick the answer is still no. Not only are you two in different classes but you know that I never let friends work together."

"I know but I think it'll really help."

"Which one of you is asking this I know which one of you is using your words but who's idea was this?"

I look over to Karl to see him pointing at me saying that it was my idea. I say "yeah it's my idea I wanted this."

"Karl do you have any reason about why you want to work on this project with someone not from your class."

He nods then the teacher says "why would you rather work with Nick over someone from your class?"

He gets out a pen and paper and starts writing he starts writing 2 words then the teacher rips the paper out of his hands and says "you don't need to write you are perfectly capable of speaking for yourself. You have words and you have a voice you can speak for your self."

I look over at Karl and notice that he's breathing faster again. He's turning red and I was holding his hand and noticed that his hands were starting to get sweaty. I know what's happening he's having another panic attack this Isn't good I can't help him since we're with the teacher and she's already mad. He squeezes my hand. And I look back to the teacher and away from Karl and explain something to the teacher "Karl can't use his words he hasn't spoken since 4th grade. Sure he can speak but that doesn't mean that he has to or that he wants to." The teacher just looks at me and starts yelling about how Karl can say that himself if he really wanted to he has a voice he's capable of using it and I don't care that he hasn't spoken since 4th grade that's not my fault. If he can speak he should speak. End of story."

I glare at the teacher realizing it's almost time for class to start I tell the teacher that I'm going to the bathroom before class and I take Karl with me considering I'm still holding his hand. As soon as we get to the bathroom I let go of Karl's hand and hug him tightly I apologize for what happened with the teacher it's not fair.

Thanks for reading this chapter it was pretty long I did have an idea for what I wanted to happen in this chapter but I decided not to add it all yet. It's all coming soon word count 1208
