This is OUR Year (Chrissy X Eddie)

〰️ Chapter 14 〰️

〰️ Chrissy's Pov 〰️

     I began to get out of the van, seeing people look at me strangely. Thinking nothing of it, I began my trek into the school beside Eddie, making small talk. I look over, and Catherine was glaring at me. I stared right back at her with a small frown, then look back at Eddie and smiled. We walked to first block together, passing Jason on the way to our seats. He looked into my eyes for a moment, pure anger in his eyes as we took our seats. Catherine then walks into the room, a small posse around her. She walks towards the back of the class towards me and Eddie, sitting adjacent towards him, her legs crossed and her head resting on her hand flirtatiously. What is she planning in that small pea brain of hers?

     " Hey there Eddie," She twirls her hair around her finger. For a moment I felt a ping of jealousy. I shook it off and glared at her. " What are you doing tonight?" She whispers to him since the teacher walked in. He looked at me confused, his eyes searching for an answer in my eyes. I shrug behind him, unbeknownst to Catherine. 

     " Well, I'm not really planning on anything-"

     " Then we should hang out! You seem to be friends with Chrissy, so maybe we can be friends," She reaches for his knee, tracing circles on it. " Or maybe even more than friends." She winked. Eddie scratched the back of his neck, nervousness ever present on his body. 

     " I don't think I would be interested, sorry." He says plainly, I celebrate in my head. Catherine totally didn't plan on him to say no, as her mind was thinking of other excuses to get into his circle. 

    " Come on! The fair is in town, and it's the end of the year. Seniors get in free!" She elongated the 'e's' in the free. Eddie, looks to me for another answer, and I shook my head. 

     " Like I said, no thanks." He says gruffly, now facing the lesson being taught. 

    " Well fine, but can we have lunch together then?" She had puppy dog eyes. He looks at me shortly then nods his head to her.

    " Sure, but Chrissy has to come." 

〰️ Lunch 〰️

    Catherine had followed us in her own car as we drove to the small coffee shop me and Robin had the date at. I got out of the van and stretched, Eddie behind me now. 

    " Hopefully she will hop off my dick when this is over, it's probably just to get back at you. Don't worry I'm not interested." He whispered, with a slight amusement at the end. I turned around and gave him the bird. 

    All three of us pile into a booth after we ordered our own things. I got a small hot chocolate to warm me up from being in the cold. Eddie and Catherine talked on the other side of the booth, she was inching closer and closer towards him, making me agitated. I sipped on my hot chocolate and began to doodle on the napkins provided on the tables, as I just so happened to have a pen in my jacket pocket. 

    " You don't have a lover, do you Eddie?" Catherine breathed, causing me to perk up and listen in. Eddie laughed.

     " No, but I plan on making a move soon on this one girl. She's so special to me, and she takes my breath away every time I see her. She truly is an angel." He said, and my chest began to close up. Who is this girl? And why am I feeling this way? I tried to shake off the jealous feeling I had in my stomach. I hope she's happy with him. I smile to Eddie, who looks at me from the side, blushing. Clearly this girl makes him feel loved. I frown out of sight of Eddie and begin to unravel who it may be. 

     It could be that one girl at Eddie's Dungeons and Dragons game, but he didn't seem to pay much attention to her. Who could it be? My thoughts were disrupted by a hand tugging at my sleeve. " Hey, Chrissy. Come on, we are leaving." Eddie softly says to me. I blink up at him, and begin to get up, thoughts still traveling to all the corners of my mind. 

     We arrive back at school, and Eddie has to part ways from me. Me and Catherine waited for the bell to ring by Mrs. Bird's room. 

     " You know, your little friend is kind of hot. I might have to snatch him up from your clutches. So beware." She seethes at me. 

     I believe this is when all of the anger and hurt began to boil into my mouth and out towards her. 

     " You know what, Catherine? Fuck you. All you want to do is fuck everyone around. How many STD's do you have huh? Probably trying to collect them all like a little bottle top collection. Just celebrating every new fucking one you got. What do your fucking parents think of you whoring around with other people's boyfriends and friends? I bet they are soooo fucking proud of their whore daughter, probably waiting for the day you finally get a boyfriend of your own for once." She began to open her mouth in rejection of the claims, but I continued. " Let's go fuck my bestfriends boyfriend for the fun of it, and then try to get in the pants of her new friend. Probably just to get everyone against me huh? Wait until I start fucking all of your new friends, see how that feels for once." By now the bell had rung, and a few people were standing around. 

     I walked in the opposite direction of her but she followed, beginning to throw insults at me. " Well at least I made Jason happy. I was better than you in every aspect, even in bed. Wanna know how I know that? Because he was screaming my name every morning," Anger began to blind my judgement. What the hell did he say about me? " And yes, of course I was trying to get with Eddie because you'll never have a chance with him, just like Jason, when he begged to have me-"

     I punched her straight in the jaw. I didn't even notice until I felt the sting on my knuckles. I began to regret my actions. No. no, no this cannot be. I did not just fucking do that. She gasped, sitting on the floor clutching her now reddened face. 

     I had to get out of there. I dodged the crowd and ran out of the back doors of the school, and towards the woods, hoping Eddie was there. 

     Sure enough, he was out there, smoking a cigarette and I began to heave and cry. " Woah woah woah Princess what happened?" He began wrapping his firm arms around me. I managed to get a few word out of my now sore throat. 

    " I fucking punched her, Eddie I punched her, I-I didn't mean to..." I trailed off and looked into his eyes. He looked down back at me, hushing me. 

     " Don't worry Princess, I'll defend you, no matter what. We need to tell someone though, and get your story straight. Come on." He began to put his arm around my shoulder, leading me up the hill to my doom. 

    Mom's definitely not going to like this. Nor dad.
