Dead to me // 13rw

The costume competition

A few days go by and Justin still doesn't show up at school and Clay is still freaking out about the tapes. My mum made a meeting with Bolan to talk about Hannah. Her school life. My mum was thinking about sueing.

Porter was still talking to us. It was my turn today.
'Thanks for meeting with me Miss Baker.'
'No problem. I've got nothing better to do anyway.'
'So, I know about you and Mr De la Cruz. You're still together, am I right?'
'No, actually we broke up.'
'Because of Hannah's death.'
'Well, I had a lot on my plate.. still do. I didn't want to pressure him or bring him into anything.'
'And during your relationship, was Mr De la Cruz violent to you?'
'Huh?'
'Did he attack you?'
'What? Monty would never!'
'Maybe he attacked Hannah? Causing her to kill herself?' What the fuck was Porter trying to say.
'What the fuck?! Monty and Hannah barely spoke. Now excuse me I have to go and walk my fish.' I stood up, walked out of his office and slammed the door behind me.

On my way out, I saw Alex ripping down posters. Suicide posters. I saw Clay Jensen at the other end of the hall. I smiled at him and he gave a sad smile back and we both ran over to Alex.
'Alex..' I said.
'Go back to class guys.'
'What are you doing?' Clay said, looking him up and down.
'I'm cleaning up. What, they think that these are gonna save someone's life? Suicides not an option. Yeah you know what, clearly it is an option, you know? Why don't they put of posters that say don't be a fucking dick to people. Why don't we put up that poster?' I didn't know he cared about Hannah that much. I started to tear up and I walked off.

He was right. Instead of teaching us to not drink and drive or not to kill ourselves, they should teach us to not fucking kill other people.

'Y/n, hey!' Tyler Down approaches me.
'Go away Tyler.' I said, wiping my tears.
'I saw you talking to Alex and Clay earlier. I just asked them what's going on and they wouldn't tell me.'
'Do you wanna know what's going on? I'll tell you what's fucking going on. What's going on is that Hannah's fucking dead. And do you know why? Because we all fucking killed her! Me, you, Alex, Clay, Bolan. Everyone.'

'Hey Scott!' Scott was waiting by my locker, holding a poster in his hand.
'Hey Y/n. Soo I was wondering. I know how upset you've been lately and I was thinking that we should do the costume contest together! I'm not taking no for an answer!' He smiled and showed me the poster.
'What as a couple?'
'No as friends. Monty would not be happy if it was a couple thing.'
'That's what people will assume.' I folded my arms.
'Then we'll just tell them that's not what it is. I've already got some great ideas.'
'Ok then come to mine tonight and we'll plan it. But come through the window that's open because my parents don't really want me dating at the moment and that's exactly what they think we'll be doing.'
'Alright.' I shut my locker and Scott walks me to my next lesson.

After school, I went to a small corner shop near school. I saw Clay buying some beer with.. Bryce? After they left, I followed him into an alleyway and I saw Monty, Zach, Justin, Bryce and Alex calling him over.
'There he is! Jensen!' Justin yelled and everyone started cheering. 'Come on! Come drink with us buddy.'
'I uh.. thanks but I gotta get home for dinner.' Clay looked really uncomfortable. They must know about Clay having the tapes.
'Aw, that's cute. Come on, you come all the way out to Blue Spot , you let Brycey buy you a beer?' Justin puts his arm around Clay and pratically drags him to his friends
'No.. I really gotta.'
'No the least you could do is drink with us. Come on, drink your 40! Alex, you're up man.' All of the jocks started cheering and Bryce handed Alex another 40. Clay and Alex were gonna have a race.
'Freak vs Geek! Time trial, 40 ounces!' What the fuck were they doing?

I came out from the corner of the shop and yelled at Clay.
'Clay come on, don't do it.'
'Oh look who decided to join the party!' Bryce smiled at me. 'Hey Y/n.' He winked. I rolled my eyes.
'What the fuck do you think you're doing? You guys know Clay doesn't drink!' I took the drink from his hand.
'Aw come on Y/n! We're only having a bit of fun! Lighten up!' Justin said. I looked at Monty and he quickly looked away.
'Well someone has to drink with Alex!' Bryce said. I saw Tony pull up his Mustang. I told Clay to go to Tony.
'I'll do it.' I said. 'Let Clay go.' Monty clenched his jaw. He doesn't like me drinking anymore.
'No it's fine. I'll do it.'
'Well I don't wanna do it.' Alex said, handing Clay his beer.

'Alright, here we go! You ready, Baker vs Jensen. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1! Go!' I chugged the beer and everyone was cheering us on. I had just beaten Clay by one sip. I threw the bottle in Justin's face and stumbled away. Clay followed and so did Monty.
'Y/n, let me take you home.'
'No, I don't want you to.' I pushed him away.
'Padilla! Take her home!' Tony approached us and put his arm around me. He nodded and took me to his car.
'You're a bit of a lightweight Y/n.' Tony laughed.
'Shuuushh.' I fell into his car.

My eyes started to close but I could hear Clay and Tony arguing outside the car.
'Now excuse me I have to take Y/n home.'

After a lot of arguing, me and Scott had finally come to a costume choice. The joker and Harley Quinn. Everyone was saying how our costumes were great and how good we looked together. Even Monty said it except the whole looking good together thing.

'Y/n, why did you drink for Alex yesterday?' Monty came up to me.
'I didn't want to drink for Alex, I wanted to drink for Clay.'
'You know that I hate it when you drink!'
'I don't really care what you think right now Monty.'
'Ok.. great costume.' He said, sadly.
'Yeah, thanks.'
'So, you and Scott?'
'Aren't dating. Just great friends.'
'Mm..'

'Ok everybody, drum roll please!' Everyone gathered in the gym to hear Courtney annouce the winner of the costume competition.
'Tight race, you guys, but I think we've narrowed down our finalists! Ok, we are gonna choose the winner by applause!' Courtney started announcing the costumes.
'Mud divers! The Joker and Harley Quinn! Sexy.. punck rockers?'

I jumped on Scotts back and he ran around the gym. I could see Monty looking really pissed.
'Ladies and Gents, I think we have a winner! Scott and Y/n with the Joker and Harley Quinn!' Everyone cheered and I jumped into Scotts arms. Monty stormed out of the gym, fuming.

A/N: Hey guys this is a bit of a long one srryyyyy
