This is OUR Year (Chrissy X Eddie)

〰️ Chapter 15 〰️

〰️ Chrissy's Pov 〰️

     We began to see people in the hallway and I shielded my face from their eyes. They must hate me. My school hates me. My heart began to race as we neared the offices for the principal and assistant principal. Eddie still had a firm grip on my shoulder. 

     Catherine sitting in front of the door caught me off guard. She glared at me, rightfully so, and shook her head. " You're dead Cunningham. Dead, do you hear me in that small little head of yours?" I don't even have energy to rebuttal as Eddie knocked on the door. The principal yelled a small 'come in' as Eddie opened the door. My face came into view of the principals as he let out a huge sigh. 

     " Chrissy Cunningham, head cheerleader at Hawkins High. You have a clean record kid. What happened?" He asked after Eddie and I sat down. I twist and turn in my seat, putting my hands in between my legs. 

     " Sir, it's not her fault. I made her feel this way. I apologize and I should be at fault for this," Eddie pipped up as I looked at him. He gives me a reassuring smile, and looks back at the principal. " I'm not sure if you are aware of the, happenings and gossips of this school, and it's no excuse. But, Jason, the basketball cheated on Chrissy," As he jests to me, " With Catherine, who she has punched. So they didn't have a good beginning at all. So when Catherine invited me to have lunch, I agreed, maybe thinking they could kind of be less of enemies and more of acquaintances." Eddie ends the beginning of his story. The principal nods, and then looks at me. 

     " Is this true from your point of view?" He asked. 

     " Why, I didn't know of the plan, but I was at lunch with her and Eddie." I said. The principal curtly nods, turning again to Eddie. 

     " So what happened after?" He asked Eddie. 

    " Well, Chrissy seemed off, so I took her back here and left her at the door of Mrs. Bird's along with Catherine, who began whispering things to Chrissy before I eventually left to go to my next class early." He explained. I nodded in agreement. 

    " That's when she began to tell me things of what she wanted out of Eddie, and I got mad and defended my friend. She then encourages my anger, so I blindly punched her. And I will profusely apologize to her and I am so sorry to disturb you on your own time. I was just defending my friend sir, I promise." I pleaded with him. He took all of these things into consideration. 

     " If I look at the security footage, it will show exactly what happened here?" He asked. I nodded, knowing they didn't have the money to have audio. He then smiled at me. " You are free for today, and Eddie, I need to make sure she doesn't attack Catherine if her story is wrong, so could you watch after her. I'll call you two back in when I look at the footage. For now, Chrissy, steer clear of her until I find out what happened. I'll write you two passes to go home. I believe my work here is finished," He closed as he wrote us both notes. " I will be calling your parents of the situation, but I will not be biased." He smiles at me. I let out a 'thank you' and trekked out of the room followed by Eddie. 

    Catherine sat smiling at me and began to walk into the door, beginning fake tears. The bell rang again, the whole situation taking a lot longer than expected. We were walking out of the building when Jason caught my eye. I frown at him, knowing he had something to do with this. Before I could even fathom what was happening, Eddie wrapped his arm around me and got close to my ear. 

    " I'm just trying to make him jealous just go with it." A hint of a smile present in his voice. His breath tickled my face causing me to giggle. I decided to whisper back to him and point at Jason. 

     " His dick is small." I let out a little 'pffft' sound and Eddie burst into laughter. Jason frowned and went into his classroom. I laughed with Eddie and we walked out to the van. " I think it's best you take me home, so I can hear the wrath of my mother and father." I sigh out and put my seatbelt on. He nods and starts the car. 

〰️ That night 〰️

     After a long winded rant from my parents about my anger management, I walked upstairs to my room and laid on my bed. I began to hear small objects being thrown at my window. Frightened, I began to walk cautiously with a bat in my hand, knowing they wouldn't be able to get up onto the roof, but just to be sure. I open the window, a pebble actively being thrown at the window I dodge it and look down. 

     Eddie in his usual band t and black pants looks up at me, I assume he's smiling. 

    " What do you want Romeo?" I whisper screamed, not wanting anyone in the house to hear. He shrugs and sits down. 

     " I just wanted to talk to you about today. If you don't mind," He plays with his hair as he continues. " What really happened?" I recounted the story, word for word as he opens his mouth in shock. I finished my story, and he stands up. " No way Chrissy Cunningham fought over me!" He giggled. I roll my eyes.

     " Keep it in your pants, Munson. Besides, it needed to happen. I've been itching to say that to her. She kind of deserved it." I leaned on the windowsill, almost proud of my actions today. 

     " She did! Your such a badass Princess!" He whisper screamed at me and I patted my shoulder. 

     " Don't boost my mood." 

     " Someone needs to, and it's gonna be me." 

      I blush and hide my face. " Go home Munson." 

     " No problem. Goodnight Juliet." He proclaimed.

     " Goodnight Romeo." As I shut my window and smiled, butterflies filled my stomach and the fuzzy feeling spread all over my body.
