seven souls (the black phone characters x reader)

chapter eighty-six

A few days had gone by as I kept checking my locker searching for anything from my secret admirer just to be filled with disappointment when nothing was there. Christmas break was coming up and Michael came back to school after just a couple days of staying home learning his lesson but who knows if he actually did learn his lesson. I was sitting in English with my book, the one my secret admirer gave as I read over the lines flipping through the pages diving deep. That's when Donna burst into class just before the final bell rang as the teacher looked up from her newspaper staring at Donna as she mumbled something out before taking a seat next to me. I slightly gave her a glance questioning why Donna was arriving almost late but assumed it was because of the bad weather with another storm coming in. I felt another pair of eyes staring at the back of my head as I took a glance behind me seeing Michael was slightly staring. There was a part of me that wanted to talk to him then there was another part that wished he was still suspended from school. I buried my head back into my book, praying slightly to myself that I would be able to make it through the rest of this day with the thought of Christmas break right around the corner. Lucky didn't seem to settle on my side though. When the bell rang for first period to end, I was packing up my things heading out to my next class till Michael stepped in front of me blocking my path.

"(y/n) are you okay?" Michael asked, reaching his hand out to grab mine as I pulled my hand back digging it into my pocket. He quickly pulled his hand back down to his side. 

"I'm fine, can you please move so I can get to math. I don't want to be late" I said as he stood there for a second before stepped out of my way.

"(y/n) meet me at the library around lunch" 

"Why should I?"

"So, we can talk"

"Fine" I said, gripping my bag a little before walking off to math, taking a seat next to Robin as I dropped my bag to the ground slightly leaning over to Robin resting my head on his chest, closing my eyes to take a quick nap as I felt his arm wrap around me a little. 

When lunch time came around, I stopped by my locker to drop off my bag as I opened it noticing a letter was taped to the inside door of my locker along with two gifts inside one of them being some picture in the newspaper and another with a rock band ticket. I picked them both up, pushing them into my back pocket for safekeeping and took the letter unfolding it.

Hello again I know I haven't written in a while. I was busy getting ready for Christmas. I hope you have a good Christmas, here are two gifts from me to you. keep them close and I hope we will see each other soon. From your secret admirer

Next to it was a big draw out heart shaded in with red as I covered my mouth holding back a giggle at the sloppy but cute drawing.

"Thanks" I whispered out to no one, setting the note back into my locker, hiding it under my history book, then I closed the locker, turning on my feet, heading to the library.  not to my surprise it was almost completely empty with only Michael sitting at one of the tables as his gaze shifted from the window to me. I wished in that moment I would have brought one of the others as I walked over taking a seat on the opposite side of the table shifting from one leg to the other waiting for Michael to say something as he let out a sigh tapping one of his fingers on the table a bit. 

"(y/n) I know you don't like me right now and that's fine, but I need to know if you want me gone like if you want me to stop talking to you"

"Michael-"

"I promise I'll leave you alone forever if-"

"Michael stop! that's not what I want at all"

"Then why does it feel like there some tension wrapping around us?"

"Because I'm still upset, there stuff going on right now in my life and I want you to tell me the truth"

"The truth about what?"

"I don't think you were fighting Moose because he was saying stuff about me, I think it was something more" I snapped at him crossing my arms. He looked at me like he just got caught by the cops as he rubbed the back of his neck looking down. 

"Okay fine it was"

"Well, what did Moose say then to piss you off?"

"I can't tell you that"

"Did he say something about your family?"

"No"

"Was he going to spread lies about you?"

"No" he said with a little bitter turning his eyes to avoid looking to me as I stopped throwing questions out there. there was no point pushing it further I was getting to nowhere.  

"I'll see you later Michael" I said standing up kicking my chair back giving him one last look before turning around walking to the lunchroom as my stomach started to growl begging for food and there was no way I could skip lunch at all this week when they were serving good food this time. 

for the rest of the day everything went normal well what you could call normal as I hung around the boys, Gwen and Donna before the final bell rung as I gave every one of them a hug before I left rushing back home with the letter, the newspaper and the rock band ticket in my pocket as I dropped my bag down on the floor as soon as I entered the door and took my shoes off throwing them with the rest before running back to my room grabbing my book once again stuffing them inside while adding another sticky note for myself. I felt like I was getting closer to the clue of the mystery person as I added a note likes the newspaper with dogs and rock bands as I twirled the ticket around searching for a band name just to see that it was scratch off as I let out a groan stuffing it into my book along with the rest before putting it back in place as I took a seat at my desk grabbing my sketchbook opening to the first blank page I could find as I grab a pencil sketching out a drawing while listening to my radio play in the background of some Christmas song.
