Mercy and (Y/n) made their way to the cafeteria. They had both packed food before they left, but they wanted to sit there, since they weren't sure if they were allowed to sit anywhere else. On their way there (Y/n) had to go to the bathroom, she didn't want to leave her friend of course, but had to. So she left, feeling a lot og guilt for leaving her friend there in a wheelchair.

Mercy's P.O.V

I'm sitting here waiting for (Y/n) to come back, I know she has a terrible sense of direction, so I probably shouldn't start heading toward the cafeteria.

I sit there in silence, hoping that (Y/n) won't use that much time. Suddenly I hear something from behind me. I try to turn around, but someone knocks over the wheelchair. I give a little squeek as I fall down to the ground, before letting out a groan in pain since I landed on my broken leg.

I quickly look around to see one of the jock's smirking to themselves. Then they turn around and start walking away. I try to stand up so I can give them a good ol smack, but I end up in only letting out another groan.

I sit there, hoping (Y/n) will come back soon. "Stupid jocks.." I mumble as I try to get up in my wheelchair again.

"What happened?" I head a familiar voice say to the side of me. I quickly look in the direction of the voice, to meet eyes with the same skeleton from before, the nice one.

"Some stupid jock pushed my wheelchair.." I mumble out, as I look to the side with an irritated expression.

"Oh.. Do you need help?" He says as he streches out a hand for me to grab.

I look at it for a few seconds before grabbing it. "Yeah.." I say before he starts to help me up, and back into my wheelchair. "Thanks!" I say as I give him a bright smile.

"No problem!" He says as he smiles back at me. "Were you going to the cafeteria?"

I nod as I give a "Yep!" forgetting about (Y/n). "Oh.. and whats your name?" I say as I look up at him from the wheelchair.

"Fresh" He says simply as he starts walking.

I smile as I say my name back. "I'm Mercy!" I say as I catch up to him.

(Y/n)'s P.O.V

You quickly finish up before you run out the door of the bathroom. You realise that you've used a lot of time in there so you start to walk as fast as you can in the direction of where you left Mercy. You quickly walk around a corner. "Sorry that I.. took so long...." you say as you slowly realise that no one is there.

'where did she go?' You think as you start looking around the area, but to no avail. 'Maybe she just got tired of waiting' You start making your way to the cafeteria, while thinking about other reasons she could have left.

Once you arrive you look around to see if you can spot Mercy. Then you see something you hoped you wouldn't see. It was Mercy talking to someone, the same skeleton that you talked to earlier, and they were laughing and having fun. 'Is she going to leave me now..?' You quickly shake your head. 'No she wouldn't do that, she wouldn't do what everyone else did' You look back at them again. It looks like Mercy is really happy talking to him. 'Maybe I shouldn't disturb them..'

You start to look for another place you can eat, and end up on the roof. It's really cold since it is winter, but you'll survive.

You sit down in one of the corners and listen to the quiet sound of the wind blowing. It feels really peaceful. A blow of wind hits you, making your (h/l) (h/c) hair flow to the side. You shiver a little from the coldness of the wind but you quickly start to take out your lunch as you hum on the tone of a calm song your mother used to sing to you when you were little. You smile lightly to yourself as you continue humming.

The rest of the classes went by slowly, you couldn't stop thinking about Mercy. 'What if she leaves me? What if she starts thinking I'm boring? What if she forgets about me and starts to only be with him?' Were some of the things you though.

Suddenly you hear the school bell, which snaps you out of your deep thoughts. You stand up and swing the backpack over your shoulder before you start to walk out of the classroom. As you walk down the hallway you see many monsters in groups, talking, laughing. It reminds you of your past, the memories you wish you could just forget.

Suddenly you feel someome poke your forehead. You slowly look up to see Mercy, staring at you with a worried expression. "Where were you? I didn't see you at lunch"

You try to forget what you tought about earlier. 'she would never do what they did!' "I just took a while in the bathroom" You say before you start scratching the back of your neck.

"hmm.. okay.. Hey! I asked fresh if he wanted to come to my house! Do you wanna come too?" Says Mercy as she motions toward the skeleton from earlier. 'his name if Fresh?'

"S- sure!" You say a little unsure. You were never really good at talking to people, but it would probably be good to have someone else to talk to when Mercy isn't there.

"YES!" Mercy shouts as she launches her fist into the air. "Okay, oh by the way! (Y/n) this is Fresh, Fresh this is (Y/n)!" Mercy says as she looks at both you and the skeleton known as Fresh.

"N- nice to meet you" You say as you try to stop yourself from bowing to him, you have this weird habit of bowing to people left and right.

"Nice to m-meet you too (Y/n)!" Fresh says with a smile. Mercy is grinning to herself in the background, she's probably happy you're finally trying to become friends with someone other than her for once.

You look at Mercy with a hopeful smile, she gives you a thumbs up. 'YES! I FINALLY TALKED TO SOMEONE THAT ISN'T A TEACHER OR MERCY!'

You all leave the school and start walking toward Mercy's house, talking and laughing.
