seven souls (the black phone characters x reader)

chapter twenty-two

The weekend was over in a flash as I was standing under the shower head letting the water soak my hair. There were no updates on Billy, but the police kept searching around longer than they did for Griffin because unlike him everyone knew Billy mostly as "paperboy". Now one of the other paperboys took his place but it wasn't the same feeling. I wouldn't be able to wake up early to see his bright shining smile and dog trailing behind him. I ran my hand over my hair pulling it back rinsing it under the showerhead before turning it off ripping the towel off the rack wrapping it around my body.

"Sweetie you're going to be late!" my mother shouted

"I'm going!" I shouted back rushing in my room searching for something to wear grabbing a shirt with some jeans as I took the towel drying my hair. I only had a few minutes left before school would start as I rushed out picking my bag up waving to my mother and brother shutting the door behind me.

"(Y/n)!" Gwen shouted, waving her hand at me. I waved back at her walking next to her side along with Finn.

"Hi Gwen, how are you doing?"

"Great and you?"

"Good" I said, I didn't want to bring up what happened on Friday with Vance for two reasons, one I didn't really care and two it would spread like wildfire which Vance will overhear and I wasn't ready to deal with getting my ass kicked from him. "Finn, how are you?"

"I-I'm okay" he said, stuttering a bit looking in his bag.

"What's going on with him?" I whisper to Gwen as she looks behind her older brother then to me.

"He built a new rocket"

 "Okay" I said, pulling on the strap of my bag as we walked inside school. Everything seemed normal for only a minute until a familiar curly blonde hair boy was pushing his way through people, his bright blue eyes looking around as they landed right into mine.

"I need to talk to you" he said, wrapping his hand around my arm pulling me off. Everyone was looking at us whispering a little to one another. He dragged me off to the back of school where almost nobody ever came around.

 "Look before you even say a thing, I didn't tell no one"

"Good but I wanted to chat about something else"

"And what would that be?"

"I want another rematch"

"Umm okay"

"Good be at the store later today around 8 to 9 or else bitch" he said, snarling a bit while walking around me pushing me slightly out the way. I knew his little threat was just him trying to scare me. it still worked on me deep down just in a more I wanted to punch him for calling me a bitch.

I was walking down to first period taking a seat next to Donna like usual pulling out my book to read.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Donna asked, looking at me there was concern lingering in her voice more than anger as I set my book down on the table looking over to her.

"Tell you about what?"

"Billy"

"We weren't that close"

"You two would hang out most afternoons deliver newspaper I say that close"

"Donna, I didn't really want to talk about it because I lost Griffin now Billy who next, Robin?"

She understood where I was coming from as she moved closer to me, slinging an arm around me. I leaned back into her side pulling my arm around resting my head on her shoulder as we stayed hugging for a minute until the bell rang.

"Sorry (y/n) I was just worried about you"

"I'll be okay" I lied picking my book back up. For the rest of class, it was mostly just catching up on old homework, giving me some free time to draw in my sketchbook making a sketch of Rover holding a newspaper in his mouth. The bell rang again as I picked up my things walking off.

"Hey (y/n)!" Robin shouted catching up with me. "Finn told me Vance wanted to talk with you, do you want me to fight him"

"Thanks Robin but one I can fight if I want too and two no you don't need to fight him"

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, I'm sure, if I needed your help, I would tell you"

"Okay" he said walking off, probably skipping one of his classes while I walked into second period laying my head on the desk taking a nap. By the time lunch arrived I took a seat next to Finn who was reading some comic book about space while chewing on the nasty meal. Robin came over to join us as I noticed he was hiding one of his hands.

"Robin, did you start a fight?"

"(y/n) I didn't start it I just finished it"

"He fought moose" Finn burst grabbing an apple and taking a bite.

"Robin, why did you fight moose?"

"He was starting shit and being a racist, so I knocked his ass to the ground" he said raising his hand showing his knuckles scratch.

"Oh, then he deserved it"

"(Y/N)!"

"Finn, he was being an ass" I said, nudging his side a little. He kept silent knowing me and Robin were both right about moose he was always picking on Robin. Finn went back to his comic while Robin was finishing his tray just before the bell could ring again as I got up walking to my next class passing by an injury moose.
