Y/n's POV

It was lunch time at Higgs and while I was going to my locker I noticed a big crowd around it. I push through to see what was going on and everyone started staring at me. I was so confused and then I saw a bunch of papers taped to my locker. They were flyers. Some of them said things like, 'Y/n is a slut, they cheated on me with a bunch of guys in another year and never wanted to have sex with me.'

This had to be done by some of Ben's friends here at Higgs. Ben Hope and I broke up yesterday because he kept asking me to have sex with him and I'm not ready yet. I'm only 15 and a freshman. I tear them down quickly, starting to tear up and I run to the toilets. Suddenly, I realize people are following me a videoing me. Maybe Ben asked them to so he could to see my reaction.

I never cheated on him and I didn't sleep with other people. I start to feel a panic attack coming on. My hands shaking, I pull out my phone and call Nick. Nick warned me this would happen if I dated him. After the first week he became really toxic but I was scared to leave him. Nick helped me get out of the situation.

Nick's POV

I was sitting at lunch with Charlie, Tao, and Isaac when my phone started to ring. It was Y/n, which was weird because they usually never call me during school. I answer it, "Y/n, What's up? Wait are you crying? Are you okay? What's going on?" I asked, I can hear them shaking while trying to breathe. "Nick I need you and the gang to come to Higgs right now. It's Ben, I think he's gotten his friends to put these flyers with rumors about me all over the lockers." Y/n tells me. I can tell it's bad. "Y/n try to breathe for me we'll be right there." They hang up and I look over to the others and we all nod and run over to Higgs.

Y/n's POV

I hung up on him and rush out of school trying to avoid all of the cameras. I see Nick, Charlie, Tao, and Isaac running. Of course Charlie is in the lead, he can run fast but especially when someone he cares about is in trouble. "Y/n! We'll take care of this!" I hear Charlie yell, as him, Nick, and Isaac run past. Tao stops and stays with me, I don't think he can do anymore running. He stops and gives me a hug. "It's going to be okay, y/n." 

A little while later, Nick, Charlie, and Isaac run back out. "We took care of it don't worry y/n." Charlie says and the others nod. "Let's go to my house." Tao suggests, knowing his mum wouldn't mind. When we get to his house, he turns on Chopped Jr. I fell asleep on his shoulder and my feet on Charlie's lap.
