Psycho Killer (Billy Loomis x Reader)

6 - I'm Poison

You get to Tatum's locker. Sidney still won't shake it.

"I shouldn't be here. It was a mistake." She tells you both. You sigh, looking at her and leaning on the locker next to Tatum's.
"I want you both to meet me right here after class, okay?" Tatum tells you both. You nod. Facing the direction, you see Billy walking through the hallway. He's kind of hunched over and nervous. Stu tags along behind him. Sidney notices your gaze and looks.

"What's he doing here?" Tatum asks.

"Oh. I bet he's pissed." Sidney says. You turn around to look at Tatum. When you turn back around, Billy is right in front of you, staring at you.

"Oh. Hi." You say. Sidney greets him. Billy nods at Sidney and looks back at you.

"Y/n, can we talk?" He asks you, desperately and sort of out of deep breath. You look down, fidgeting with your fingers and avoiding eye contact. Tatum intervenes.

"You know, if I was accused of carving up a bunch of kids, I wouldn't show up to school." Stu nudges her a little.

"Hey, Tate, give him a break. He didn't do anything."

"Please?" Billy asks. As your about to say something, a scream erupts from the end of the hall behind you. You jump, and Billy automatically steps in front of you. A kid comes screaming down the hall in a white mask and black cloak just like the killer. The kid tries to get in your face but Billy pushes him off and he goes running. You look back.

"Why are they doing this?" Sidney asks, clutching her notebooks closer to her chest. Stu laughs.

"Are you kidding me? It's like Christmas!" He says excitedly. Tatum hits him with her sucker. "Ow." He replies, rubbing his forehead. You notice a little scar on his upper forehead. The exact spot that you hit the killer with the painting. You turn towards him.

"Stu?"

"What's up?" He responds.

"Where'd you get that bruise?" You ask, pointing to his forehead. He exchanges a glance with Billy. His nervous look fades into a kiddish smile.

"Oh, I ran into a poll." You smile weakly, deciding to drop it. Just then, 2 more people in masks come running down the hall, the opposite way. You jump when they come close, and take off down the hall. Billy follows close behind.

"Y/n!" Tatum just about loses her shit.

"Billy, stay away from her!" She yells at him. You can't wrap your head around it. Maybe Stu killed Casey. But there's no way. You've known Stu for a year. He wouldn't do that. He's too sensitive.

After the bell rings, people clear the halls. You quickly walk down the hall, and crash into Billy, who immediately holds your arms to keep you from falling.

———————————————————————

Billy holds you there for a good 20 seconds. He gets butterflies and smiles at you, before the moments ruined by you pulling away. He drops the smile, and looks down at you.

"Y/n? You don't seriously think it's me, do you?" You shake your head. He notices how nervous you are.

"No. I just feel really bad for accusing you of doing something even though you were just trying to help." You tell him. He feels awful because he knows you're right. But he didn't want to hurt you. He could never. He loved you.

"I don't blame you. It makes sense. You were scared." He tells you. You look up at him. He looks into your e/c eyes. They were his favorite. He smiles. You frown.

"I'm really sorry." You tell him. He lifts your chin to look at him.

"It's really okay."

"You're not mad at Sidney?" You ask. His breath hitches. There's a pause.

"No." You nod. The tension between the two of you is making his heart POUND. He's palms were sweaty and he was so nervous just to be this close to you. Little did he know, you were just as nervous.

After 1st period, you go to your locker with Billy, praying that neither Sidney or Tatum saw you two talking. You didn't believe Billy when he told you that he forgave Sidney. His eyes were angry. You open your locker and find flowers. You turn towards Billy, eyes wide. He's too busy looking at you, but when you catch him looking, he looks back at his locker.

"Billy!" You tap him on the shoulder. He looks over at you and pretends like he wasn't staring and didn't plant the flowers.

"Huh?" He begins then looks at the flowers. "Oh. Well-" Billy begins, but Tatum comes running down the hall towards you.

"Y/n! Come on, Sid's in hysterics. Some sick fuck dressed up as Ghostface tried to attack her!" She looks at Billy, then the flowers. She scoffs at him. "Gross. You have a girlfriend." She tells him. You look at him with wide eyes. He smiles at you. Tatum grabs your hand and drags you down the hall to Sidney's locker.

"Come on, Sid! It was some sick fuck having a laugh." Tatum says. You run Sidney's shoulders.

"No, Tatum!" Sidney snaps at her. "It was him, I know it!"

"You aren't gonna be alone again. If you pee, we pee." Tatum says. Stu shows up, kissing Tatum's neck.

"Is this not cool or what? Hey Sid! What happened?" He asks. Tatum rolls her eyes.

"For once, Stu, drop it." Tatum scolds him.

"Okay, but whatever you did, the entire student body thanks you." He kisses Tatum again. "To celebrate this impromptu fall break, I propose we have a party. Tonight, my house."

"Are you serious right now?" Sidney asks. She gives Stu a dirty look.

"My parents are out of town. It'll be like my hurricane bash last year. Nothin' extreme, just a few of us hanging out." Tatum looks excited.

"This could be good. What do you think Sid?" She asks.

"It sounds fun." They all look at you.

"No. That's absolutely too dangerous. Have you guys seen any scary movie ever?" You tell them. Tatum rolls her eyes playfully.

"You're starting to sound like Randy."

"Thank you for the compliment." A voice says. You turn around and see Randy leaning over your shoulder.

"Jesus, nerd. You scared the shit out of me." You tell him. He laughs.

"Well, I'm going. And we're watching horror, obviously!" He says. You laugh. Out of the corner of your eye you see Billy, talking to a girl but not paying any attention to her, and instead, you. His fists are in balls and he looks angry but nervous.

"Maybe I'll go." You tell them.

"Well, do you want to stay home with Dewey all night?" Tatum asks. You shiver from the last time you skipped out on a party. You and Dewey played cards literally all night.

"Hard pass." Tatum giggles.

"Okay, it's settled. You'll come." You nod and grin. Maybe Billy will come.
