Your tartan shirt (st Gareth x reader)

Chrissy

It was around 11:27pm when I arrived home. And i came in to find my very drunk aunt waiting on the sofa.
As i looked around the living room i could see various cups and glasses of what i can only imagine to be alcoholic beverages. To which i sighed and attempted to walk past her.

"Y/n L/n. She said sternly. Where the hell have you been?? And- who's shirt is that?! Did you sleep with someone? I swear.. I'm gonna kill you you little slut.." she said storming over to me and grabbing my shoulders.

"Calm down! No of course not.. i joined a club at school.." i scoffed.
"And you didn't care to tell me?! Look.. y/n.. i care about you.." she said, stroking my cheek. Its funny how her mood changes so quickly.
I just brushed away her hand, practically gagging at the smell of her breath.

"Whatever." I said. I know she gets weird when she's drunk- she's actually great to live with. I just try to avoid her at times like this..
So i just went to bed.

The morning came around quickly, and I reluctantly got up.
Today's school day should be alright. I planned to sit with the club at school today.
I threw on my long sleeved grey shirt, the club shirt over the top, my black jeans and various bits of jewellery.
I then hastily went outside to grab my bike and ride to school.

I think it was about a 10 minute ride to the front of the school, i set my bike up with a lock around the back of the school, and walked through the front gate with my headphones on.

For some reason, i could sense that everyone was on edge. Especially upon myself walking past for some reason. I just walked briskly to the club room to see if anyone was there.
"Ugh. No luck.." i muttered, then jumped when i saw Jeff behind me.
"Jeff! Do you know where everyone is?" I asked him. Although, he too looked unsettled.
"Come with me Y/n.." he said, beginning to lead me into a classroom down the hall.

Upon entering, i saw all the club members there. Except from Eddie.
"Hey everyone. Where's Eddie?" I asked
"You didn't hear?!" Dustin said, surprised.
They all looked at eachother
"It was on the news this morning. Chrissy Cunningham died.. She was found in Eddies house." Said James
...
I paused, processing the situation, and looking down at my feet.
"So.. Eddie killed this Chrissy girl?" I hesitantly asked.
"Did this happen after the game?"
They nodded
"Yeah, after we went home. But we don't believe that Eddie killed her." Said Gareth.

"I know you didn't know him very well, and you probably think he has a screw loose, which he kinda does.. but trust me he would never hurt a fly.." Mike said
I thought for a moment
"He seems nice.. I believe you." I say confidently
"So.. what are we gonna do?" I ask.

"Theres not much we can do. I mean- we have no idea where he is." Gareth sighed
To which i huffed lightly.
"We're gonna try to act like nothing is wrong." Jeff cut in reluctantly
"We have no evidence that he didn't do it, i think it would be better to leave it up to the police." He continued
"I concur." Said James

The rest of the morning was awkward and uncomfortable. I felt a burden in all of my classes, after joining the Hellfire club, and wearing a shirt. It seemed that i had lost the trust of everyone around me. I saw in the paper that psychologists believe that Dnd promotes murder, so thats not a good look for the club. But.. its just a fantasy game.

"Hey new girl."
I looked up, almost frightened to see the basketball group again.
Oh god..
"You joined that freakshow club i see. I can't say I'm surprised." Jason commented
I just pushed my way past the group, i had better things to do, I wasn't looking for confrontation anymore anyway.
I arrived at the lunch table, and sat on the other side of Gareth, Jeff being on his right, and James opposite.

"Hey guys.. where's Mike and Dustin?" I asked puzzled.
"Dunno, we haven't seen them since this morning." James said
Huh.. that's weird.
"Do they not normally sit with you?" I asked
"Eh. Not all the time. They're probably with their other friend Max." Said Gareth.
"Hey- you seem a little on edge.." he continued
"Hm? Oh.. yeah I'm alright. Just had a run in with Jason." I said, with a tired smile.

Gareth grunted
"They have an issue with us.. made worse by the whole Chrissy thing.. they were dating you know. She was one of the cheerleaders." He said
"Oh really?" I couldn't say i was surprised
"Hey, Jeff James and i were gonna do like a sleep out thing tonight. Wanna come? To get the whole situation out of your mind." Gareth asked
I thought for a moment, my brother is with my mom at the moment, and my aunt won't miss me I'm sure. She'll be too drunk.

"Yeah, sure. Where's it gonna be?"
He pulled out a bit of paper and wrote down what I guessed to be an address,
"My place. We're gonna sleep in the garage. We have a ton of sleeping bags, snacks and a movie projector! Its gonna be cool." Gareth said
"Sounds fun!! I will definitely be there."
I said with a smile
