Two months had passed, and it was getting closer to fall, my favorite season. I was walking down the street looking around heading my way to school as I stopped in my tracks looking at a pole filled with all four missing boys' posters, most of them being Bruce. Mr. Yamada kept putting missing posters around to spread the news but almost everyone knew he was just another body waiting to be found. I continue walking, stopping as a black van sped by me rushing down the road. Once I got closer to the school, I could hear people from a far shouting loudly chanting fight, fight, fight. I took off pushing my way through the crowd getting a front row seat of Moose and Robin, both staring each other down.

"I will pound you like a nail you scrawny little beaner" Moose said snarling a little taking a step towards Robin.

"Then do it" Robin said with no fear staying in his place. "Unless you're scared"

It didn't take long as Moose took a step forward throwing his fist out. Robin took the chance ducking down to avoid the throw reaching out, ripping away Moose's bag giving him the option to hit him in the chest. Moose was fast to react reaching down covering his stomach with his arm leaving now his face exposed. Robin took the chance kicking his leg up, knocking Moose back into a pole as he got back into a stance raising his fist. Moose turned around running towards Robin with rage in his eyes. Robin went blocking his arm and pulled him to the ground in a headlock as he tried to pull away then Robin went turning moose still holding him a lock before throwing him to the ground getting on top raising his fist then down to Moose face over and over. The crowd were in gasp still cheering Robin on as he left Moose face in a bloody mess. I went after Robin walking into the boys bathroom throwing my bag to the ground.

"Now what happened?" I ask, turning on the faucet leaning into the wall as Robin rinses his hand under the sink washing away Moose blood.

"He was shit talking" Robin said, laughing a little while still rinsing his hand.

"Hes a fucking prick" I say ripping some paper towels taking Robin hand in mine wrapping his knuckles up grabbing some tape that he had on hand wrapping it around "you'll need to clean it again in second period"

"Thank you nurse (y/n)" He said laughing more as I pushed my hand against his shoulder.

"Shut up" I mumbled, hiding my face a little as it started turning red picking my bag up again. The bell rang as I was rushing off to first period pulling my book out.

By the time it got to lunch I was really starving so I went walking around the hallways just minding my own business till I noticed Buzz, one of Finn bullies as he was walking around the hallway as he spotted me.

"Shouldn't you be at lunch with that-"

"Don't even say what I think you're going to say" I said, cutting him "beside shouldn't you be at lunch too?"

"Stay out of my fucking business"

"Well, if that business involves something with Finn, I think I should know. Stay the fuck away from him or deal with me" I say walking past him stopping by the library. The librarian peaked her head up nodding to me as she went back to reading a newspaper. I went around looking at the thousands of books hoping to find one as I looked back gazing at the table's imaging Griffin was sitting their book in hand daydreaming of another world. I let out a sigh picking up a Stephen King book, something I'm sure Griffin would have loved to read as I took a seat at the same table we would always hang around and talk when we didn't want other people around. But now we can't do that anymore.

Soon school was over as I pushed my way through the crowd rushing out the front door walking back home. The house was quiet once I walked inside as I threw my bag on the ground strolling into my room falling on the bed pulling out my sketch book then the phone rang. I got up walking off in the kitchen picking up the phone.

"Hello?"

"Hi (y/n)" Finn said over the phone in a hush voice. "Want to hang out at the grab and go?"

"Yeah, what time?"

"Around 4"

"Sure I'll see you then"

"Bye (Y/n)"

"Bye Finn" I said, putting the phone back hearing a click. I picked up a sheet of paper writing a note for my mother, folding it, setting it out on the table heading out the door.

"(Y/n)" Finn said, walking over giving me a bright smile.

"Hi Finn" I said, returning back the smile as we both walked in the store. Only silence welcome us instead of the normal ding from the pinball machine now left untouched. We went to the back looking around at the snacks. "So, I have a question: did your bullies try to pick a fight?"

"Yeah, but Robin was there to stop them"

"Why don't you fight back?"

He gave me a shrug looking around at the selection of soda. I took a pack of gum paying for it as I went back over to Finn leaning against the fridge as we both started talking about the upcoming science project frog dissecting.

"The smell is going to be horrible" Finn complained a little.

"Yeah but sadly, we have to do it or else you could always earn an f"

"Never!" he shouted quickly "Sorry for shouting"

I started laughing clutching my side a little "I knew that would come"

He stuck his tongue out to me picking up a Pepsi bottle handing the worker money as we both walked out the store.

"Sorry (y/n) but I got to get back home to look after my dad"

"That's okay, I'll see you on Monday!" I shouted while walking down the street just as a black van sped off out of a parking lot.
