"Now Miss (l/n) do you know why you are here?" I sighed crossing one leg over staring at the counsellor I had to see until God knows how long.

"Because of egotistical people who think they aline with the world's views of attraction and popularity decided to victimize me and get caught going so." She paused for a moment before smiling at me.

"I think that sums it up. Have you felt all the bullying has affected your life?"

"My school work is the same if that's what you're referring to."

"I'm not a teacher (y/n), I'm talking about your relationships, love life and mental health." Another sigh left me.

"Other than being friends with the cheer captain and now my mum babying me no. I don't care what other people think." She started writing down in her notes which I arched an eyebrow at.

"And that's why the bullying started, your friendship with Chrissy?" Nodding she hummed arms resting up under her chin as she stared down at me.

Eddie stood waiting outside the counsellor's office for (y/n) fifth period was about to start which he had your books for. His body bobbed up and down as he bounced on the balls of his feet getting tired of waiting.

"Eddie?" Dustin asked confused walking up to him coming out of the bathroom. "What are you doing?"

"(y/n)s in a counselling session." Eddie nodded to the door in front of him and Dustin's eyes followed.

"Oh, for the clothes-drenching thing?" Eddie nodded biting his lip.

"Yeah everyone involved has to go this week." That's when a cheerleader came around the corner popping a bubble gum looking bored as hell. She gave them a small glare rolling her head when hearing the door open.


I came walking out to see not just Eddie but Dustin waiting for me and Penny standing by the door.

"Step aside (l/n)." She spoke popping the gum in her mouth. Fucking Penny. Walking out of her way over to Eddie he held out my bag.

"So uh how did it go?" Dustin asked and I sighed shrugging my shoulders.

"She thinks I need to come in more. To talk about my feelings." Rolling my eyes fixing up my bag Eddie chuckled wrapping his arm over my shoulders.

"She does know you have people to talk to about all this." I hummed at Eddie with Dustin trailing next to us.

"Well, at least they're not bothering you anymore," Dustin said and I shrugged my shoulders.

"I mean unless you count them burning me with their eyes." Three guys from the team watched us walk past and Eddie gave them the finger.

"I sware you never did anything to them. Fucking pieces of...." Chrissy stepped in front of the three of us.

"Hey (y/n) could I talk to you on the way to art?" She asked glancing around to see if anyone of interest was watching. Eddie rolled his eyes grabbing my hand when I nodded.

"Don't you think they'll have a fit seeing you two talking?" I shrugged at him getting out of his grasp.

"We're going to class they can't stop us from that. See you after school." Leaving the pair of them I walked alongside Chrissy towards our art class.

"I was thinking we could have a study night tomorrow." she acting like nothing happened. Again.

"Yeah, I guess. You need help with bio?" she smiled nodding.

" if that's ok?" I sighed before shrugging.

"As long as you get the junk food." Chrissy grinned giving me a tight hug and shaking me slightly.

Eddie could see the looks of the basketball team. Especially Jason as Chrissy was talking and hugging (y/n).

"Hey, Eddie?" Mike asked who just joined the pair in the hallway.

"What?"

"You alright?" Dustin said while stepping back a little.

"I'm fine man. I'm skipping fourth period." And with that, he turned his heel knowing there was nothing he could do. He'll just make sure to be at her locker before Maths.

Which when going over he saw posters with her face printed on them full of scribbles. "Stupid bitch." Written across it. He sighed making sure to take it down.

"Eddie?" I saw him facing my locker and frowned when he tried hiding it. "What are you hiding?" I thought it was a surprise but Eddie looked like he was caught doing something bad.

"Nothing." I arched an eyebrow at him trying to peak over but he moved his body so I only saw his front.

"What's behind your back?"

"Nothing honestly." I scoffed zipping around seeing an A4 piece of paper. Which Eddie shoved into his pocket. "Just a new song I've been writing. It's not ready to be listened to yet." Humming starting at him Eddie looked a little flushed.

"Alright. But I better be the first person to listen."

"Of course babe. Now let's head off for lunch." Eddie grabbed onto my shoulders dragging me through the hallway to the cafeteria. I didn't even get to open my locker.

"I'll wait in line, can you put my bag on the table?" Eddie smiled doing just that walking off rather quickly to his friends.

The second he made it to the table he slammed the photograph down and they all stopped talking.

"If you see one of these floating around rip it apart got me." Gareth frowned staring at it.

"They're committed I'll give them that."

"Why not show this to the principal?" Mike asked and Eddie groaned slumping down on his seat putting (y/n)s bag next to him.

"He already hates me he'll think I wrote it or something. Besides she doesn't want any more attention drawn to this." The thing that bothered him most about this was the help was there but (y/n) didn't want any.

"Then we don't have to give it to him. Just let him see it." Dustin said snatching the paper from the table and before Eddie could argue about it his food tray landed on the table. With (y/n) staring at the group confused by the silence.
