Unloveable (TWST x male reader) (DISCONTINUED/REWRITTEN)

Chapter 4: Pen Pal★ (Edited)

Today was the day. He was going home; he was scared, that's for sure. He was excited to see his pets, but he wasn't happy about what he had to do. He could leave his old life, take the dogs and cats he took care of, and high-tail it out of there. He could go to those nice small towns he had heard about in books. But...

Y/n packed nothing but the clothes on his back, some meat for the strays, his pen, and his phone. He walked into the mirror hall. He pushed past his classmates, going to a corner to wait for the line to go down.

"There you are." 

The young man looked up from where he sat on the floor, seeing Leona standing over him. "Hey Leona. Heading home?" He stood, brushing off the butt of his pants. 

"Yep, you?" Leona glanced down at y/n's butt, checking to see if there was any "dust".

Y/n sighed, "Yep... heading home." They both sighed. 

"Not too happy about it either, huh?" Leona asked, y/n shook his head sadly. "If you stay, I will."

"Eh!? But you have to go home!" 

"I don't have to. My family would just give me no end of grief if I didn't. But that's worth it; if it's for you." Y/n blushed. 

"Hey you two! Ready?" Ruggie asked, pulling along a few bags of food. 

"Ready as ever, I guess." Y/n pouted. 

"If you don't wanna go home, you can stay with me. My Grammy and I would love to have you over." 

Y/n shook his head, a soft smile on his lips. "I gotta go home. Thank you. Both of you." 

Ruggie shrugged, "Well, my offer stands if you ever wanna come over." Y/n smiled, "I'll remember that. Thanks."

"So we're going?" Leona asked. 

Y/n nodded. "I have to go home; I have zero say in what you do." 

The lion sighed, "Let's just get in line." He grumpy walked ahead the other two, Y/n nodded rushing to follow; all three of them walked to the back of the line.

They walked to the mirror. "Y/n you go first," he looked over to Ruggie, who had a hand reached to the mirror. 

"No, no, you go..." 

"What kind of upperclassman would I be if I didn't let you go first?" 

"L/n-kun, he won't let up; just go first." The Headmage said, shaking his head. The young man nodded, stepping forward.

"Say where you wanna go." 

Y/n nodded. "Samoća city." the mirror lit up. Y/n nodded to the headmage before stepping in.

"Wha—did he just say Samoća city?" A hush ran over the hall. 

"What's the big deal?" Grim asked. 

Ace and Deuce shared a look. "Samoća city is cursed." Deuce informed. 

"Yeah, everyone there's bad news." Ace said, glaring at where y/n just was. 

"I hate to agree with Ace, but it's true. Not one person who's come out of that place has been good news. Granted, not many people have."

Did y/n feel like they weren't trustworthy? Did he feel like they would cast him away? Why didn't he tell them? Ruggie's thoughts were racing as y/n avoided his eyes and stepped through the mirror.

Students whispered; the student everyone once thought of as just a shy boy was now revealed to be from the cursed Samoća city.

"Alright everyone! Back to it, I have places to be!" The Headmages clapped, pushing Ruggie forward.
