Derek's pov:
I wake up in the morning. I shower, brush my teeth and get ready. I go downstairs and sit at the table, eating my breakfast.
I scroll through my phone. A notification comes up on my phone so I click on it.
I gasp as I scroll through Instagram. Loads of people from school have reposted screenshots, of meredith texting about me. I read the messages.
Meredith: I have never met someone so Lame, honestly
Me: poor derek
Meredith: he really thinks I be friends with him
Me: then why are you?
Meredith: homework answers, duh
I keep scrolling but can't find who originally posted it. I don't know who she was texting.
I try to hold back my emotions. I grab my bag and run outside to my car. I rest my forehead against my steering wheel, tears running down my cheeks.
I wipe my face before driving to school. As I walk down the halls, everyone's looking at me. They all know.
I try to ignore them and go to lesson when I suddenly stop walking. I see meredith down the hall.
Merediths pov (from morning):
I wake up in the morning, get up, brush my hair and teeth and wash my face. I get changed into my clothes for the day. I go downstairs to eat my breakfast.
"Good morning" lexie walks into the room. "Morning" I say. She sits next to me, eating her breakfast.
My phone buzzes. I pick it up. Its from cristina. I furrow my brows, confused. I text her back.
Cristina: wow harsh mer.. I thought u liked him
Me: what? Who?
She doesn't reply so I put my phone down. I wash my plate quickly. I grab my stuff. "Bye lex" I say. "Bye" she says. I leave and walk to school.
I furrow my brows as I walk down the school hallway. It appears everyone is talking.. about me? "That was harsh dude" Mark walks past me. "What? Mark" I gently grab his arm. He looks at me.
"What did I do?" I chuckle. He raises his brow. "Mark.." I say. The school bell goes off. "I gotta go to class meredith" he walks away. I groan.
I walk over to cristina. "What the hell? Why is everyone talking about me?" I ask. "The screenshots.." she says. "What?" I ask. She pulls out her phone.
I gasp, scrolling through the screenshots on Instagram. "That- What the hell? Who posted this?" I ask. She shrugs.
I look up. Me and derek make eye contact. I can see the hurt in His eyes. I sigh as he turns around, walking away.
I run after him. "Derek" I say. He ignores me. I grab his hand. He looks at me. We look into eachothers eyes.
"Just leave me alone" He rips his hand away from mine, walking out of the school. I sigh.
I walk over to cristina. "I didn't send those messages" I say. "You didn't?" She asks. "Of course not.. you know how I feel about him.. why would I say that?" I whisper.
"Then who edited the screenshots?" She asks. "I don't know but I need to find out because he's mad at me.. and probably really hurt" I say, my voice shaky as I tear up.
"Okay, chill out.. I'll find out who the original post was from.. and that person probably was the one who edited it" she says. "Okay.. I need to find derek" i say. "Kay" she says.
I leave school and go straight to Derek's house. I knock on the door. It opens. "Meredith" Carol says. The way she's looking at me.. she knows. "What are you doing here?" She asks firmly.
"Is he okay?" I ask. "No, he isn't" she says. I look down. "I didn't do it, I promise.. I di- please can I talk to him?" I ask. She looks at me. "What are you doing here?" Amelia walks over, glaring at me. I sigh.
"He told all of you?" I say. "I saw it on Instagram.. and then I told my mom" she crosses her arms over her chest. "Derek's locked himself in his room.. he isn't talking to anyone" Carol says.
"Amelia.. I swear I didn't say that about him.. someone edited those screenshots.. I promise" I say. She glares at me.
"I- You can check my phone.. check all the messages if you want to" I say. She hugs me. I let out a breath, hugging her back. "I believe you" she pulls away.
"Go on" Carol moves out of the way. "Thankyou" I walk inside. I run upstairs. I knock on his room door. "Go away!" He says. "Derek it's me" I say. He doesn't say anything.
I open the door. "I didn't say that about you derek, I swear" I walk over to him. He's sat in bed. I sit infront of him, holding his hand.
"What part of 'leave me alone' do you not understand?" He pulls his hand away. "But I didn't do it" my lip trembles. He looks at me. "Please believe me" I whisper.
"Why? You got more homework you need to hand in?" He says sarcastically. "Do you really think I would say that?" I ask. He looks at me.
"I wouldn't be surprised.. its not like this sort of thing hasn't happened to me before.. I was just surprised it was by you this time" he says.
Tears run down my cheeks. I look away, embarrassed. I wipe my tears. "Please der.. I'm your best friend.. I wouldn't do that" I put my hands on his arms. He looks into my eyes.
He wraps his arms around my waist, hugging me tight. I let out a breath, wrapping my arms around his neck.
"Okay, I believe you.. I'm sorry" he whispers. I push my face into his neck. "Okay, that's enough hugging" he pushes me away. I giggle, wiping my tears.
He gently pulls my hands away from my face. He puts his hands on my cheeks, wiping my tears.
"I'm sorry I didn't believe you" he whispers. "It's okay.. I wouldn't believe me either" I say. He sighs.
"Who did it then?" He asks. "I don't-" my phone buzzes. I pick it up. Its cristina. I groan. "It was deluca" I show him the message. "Of course" he rolls his eyes.
"Are we okay?" I ask. I look at him. "Definitely" he says. I wrap my arms around his waist, sitting next to him. I rest my head on his chest.
