'It belonged to a girl who killed herself.' Clay pointed to Hannah's locker. Me, Courtney and Clay had to show around the foreign exchange students. We got to the halls when suddenly Clay started freaking out.
'You see all these don't kill yourself posters up on the wall? They weren't up before. They put them up because she killed herself.'
'Clay..' I said. Why was he doing this?
'And why did she do it? Because the kids here treated her like shit!' I started tearing up again.
'Jensen that's enough.' Justin could see I was upset.
'But no one wants to admit it so they paint over the bathrooms, and put up a memorial because that's the kind of school that this is. Everyone is just so nice that they drive you to kill yourself.'
'Jensen shut the fuck up!' Scott came over and stood next to me.
'And sooner or later, the truth will come out. It's gonna come out.'
'Fuck you Clay!' I yelled and ran out.

'Y/n. Wait!' Scott yelled. 'What Clay did was so out of order.'
'Yeah.' I sniffed and wiped my tears. 'Shit, I need to stop crying all the time.' I laughed.
'Hey, no. It's good to cry.' Scott pulled me into a hug.
'Thanks Scott.' I hugged him tightly.
'Wanna go Monet's? I'll pay.'
'Of course.' I smiled and followed him to his car.

I joined everyone later in the gym. They all became silent when I came in. Jess ran to hug me.
'You ok? Clay was such a dick for that.'
'I'm fine.' I smiled.
'He's not gonna go public.' Zach said.
'It feels like he might!' Jess put her arm around me and took me to sit next to her.
'He's just sad, ok? Let him b-' Alex groaned and clutched his stomach.
'Shit, Alex, you ok?' I touched his arm.
'Are you getting your stomach things again Alex?' Jess said, concerned. 'Come sit down a minute.' I moved up so he had room between me and Jess.
'What stomach things?' Justin asked.

'He loved her and she died!' Alex continued. 'He's going crazy! Just give him a second.'
'He's not sad ok? He's getting revenge.' Courtney folded her arms.
'Ugh drop it Courtney. Your just scared he'll expose your secret.' I scoweled at her.
'What secret?'
'Oh come on, we all know you're gay.' I yelled. Alex groaned again.
'Alex come sit down!' Jess said.

'Dude, you're late.' Justin said to Marcus, who had just come in.
'I talked to Tony, he said he'll take care of it.' Marcus comforted them.
'What does that even mean, exactly?' Courtney asked.
'Tony's a dick.' Justin yelled.
'He's not a dick!' Zach defended Tony.
'He's a dick, he's a prick and he's a cock.'
'Ok, those are the same thing.'
'Nah, they're nuances of meaning.'
'What the fuck does that mean?!' I asked.
'I don't fucking know.' Justin gave me a death stare. Ok then. 'Look Tony's not gonna do shit. We have to take care of this.'
'You already tried. Alex tried to fucking kill him in his car!' I yelled.
'I honestly don't know what I was thinking.' Alex said, apologetically.
'Well we have to end that little bastard once and for all.'
'That's insane.' Jess said.
'I don't know. What if we make it look like a.. a suicide?'
'What the fuck. You're really telling me that you wanna kill one of my friends and make it seem like he died the same way as my sister?'
'How tragic is that? Two star-crossed lovers or some shit.'
'Fuck you Foley.' I walked out of the gym.

'Hey.' I smiled as I opened the door.
'Hey.' Scott had his Liberty Tigers jacket on.
'Do you ever take off that jacket?' I said, taking him to the kitchen.
'Nah.'
'Gross.' I scoffed.
'Well I wash it obviously!' He laughed.
'You sure about that?' I raise my eyebrows.
'Yes! Now, why did you call me here?'
'I told you, I was bored. Let's watch a movie or something!' I take him to my room.

Me and Scott were watching titanic and we were both in tears. Scott more than me.
'Scotty, are you crying?' I laughed.
'No!' He hid his face in his jacket.
'Aw come here.' I hugged him.
'Why did... did the children have to.. to die?!' He cried into my shoulder.
'Shh it's ok.' I stroked his head.

After about 5 minutes of Scott having a breakdown, we just laid in my bead for a while. Scott put his arm around me and I layed on his chest.
'Y/n.. I like you. A lot.'
'I like you too Scott.' I smiled.
'No. Y/n, I like you. More than friends.'
'Oh.. me too.'
'But, uh I don't think we should date or anything. Yet.'
'Ok phew because I'm still not ready for a relationship.'
'Maybe we could do like a friends with benefits type of thing?'
'Sure.' I smiled and kissed him.
