Mason Thames

Not like me

Andre dragged me to an empty alleyway just next to the school. His new friends followed, and they all gave me looks, but masons caught my attention. Instead of looking disturbed, he looked worried. And that Miguel kid. Yeah well he was laughing. 

A- okay what the hell was that?

I stayed silent. I didn't even know, I'm never like this. I know first hand what it's like to have a hand layer on you in that manner, so why on earth would I do it to someone else? Maybe it was because she called me a slut. Maybe it was because she said I was a whore. Or maybe, for some reason it was because she threatened me, behind my back. 

A- answer me please!

Y/n- I'm sorry okay. It's a new start at this school an-

A- so you should be setting a good standard for yourself, y/n! 

Y/n- Andre, I'm sorry! She was shit talking you and I and the them. 

Andre looked at me confused. 

A- what happened to not retaliating?

Y/n- yeah, we'll when some one calls you a slut or whore and then threatens you behind your back, you kinda want to do something about it. 

A- okay good point bu-

Mi- I'm sorry for interrupting, but y/n, that was an awesome punch. 

Mad- yeah, like BAM! BITCH WENT DOWN. 

I laughed knowing what she was referencing. 

We walked back into school, mason walking next to me, nearly protectively.

The woman from the office came out and called out to me. 

W- y/n y/l/n!  Come in here please. 

I looked at Andre wishing for his help. But he gave me a look as if to say, "hey you got yourself into this mess" 

I walked into her little office. 

W- please have a seat. Now, obviously I know about the fight, but I want to hear your side of the story. 

I explained what had happened and she just sat there. 

Y/n- soooo... 

W- look, I noticed the bruises on your face the first day you came here

oh..

W- I need to know if it's someone at home

Y/n- no! My brother and I got a bit carried away fighting. 

W- y/n, I just want to let you know, I'm really not trying to invade your space and privacy but I just know if someone had of helped me when I was younger, it would've helped me a lot. 

Y/n- wait you got hit to-

shit. 

W- alright I've got my answer

She got up and walked towards the door. 

Y/n- wait NO! please don't call anyone. 

W- relax I'm just grabbing this

She held up a first aid kit and called for an ice pack for my fist. 

W- you did some pretty good damage huh?

I sat and stared at her. Never in my life have I has a teacher, let alone office lady treat me like I'm an equal. 

W- you're probably thinking why the hell is this woman talking to me like that. Well I'm going to rant here and hope you can understand it

TW - ABUSE!

SKIP AHEAD TILL YOU SEE THIS 👍🏽

W- when I was 12 my mother and father abused me, constantly. I learned pretty quickly how to cover up the bruising and how to lie, so I didn't get in trouble as much. I wanted to be a neurosurgeon but all of my college money was spent to buy my parents anniversary. And I don't give them the money, they stole it. So I became a teacher, because the courses were easy, but really had to start making money, so I became a secretary for the school. I get all the gossip. Form teachers and students. But I mostly like that I am able to be there for kids who need it.  Know I might seem a bit weird since I'm an adult talking to you and that weird that I'm confiding in you to tell about my childhood, but I'm actually 20. So I'm still into all that teen stuff a bit. But I thought maybe if I could help and be there for you I could help?

I just gave her a hug. 

👍🏽

W- I'm going to take that as a yes. Well, come in anytime and talk. Even if your just bored. Also, I know the kids you were with in the hallway. Those are good people. I suggest you keep them around. 

Y/n- alright I'll keep that in mind. Also could you please not call anyone. 

W- I wasn't going to. But please at least come and tell me some gossip every week?

Y/n- deal!

I walked out of the office and back towards my class. I stopped when I passed a little room underneath the stairs. 

I decided to skip class, texted andre asking if he could drive me home. And then sat under the stairs and pulled out some candy i had saved in my bag. Now I would just scroll on my phone until the end of school I guess.
