Clay and Hannah// 13 reasons why

Day after

Hi guys! Okay sorry I didn't update Friday, I was going to but it was a stressful day and felt rushed and didn't have time. Another thing, this is the day after Jessica's party and Hannah never pushed clay away and the thing with Bryce and Jessica never happened, because that's awful. Enjoy!!

Hannah's POV

Last night was actually amazing and everything I was hoping for and more. That whole night, the tension between helmet and I was there and I've noticed it and now, I know he did as well. What happened was we slept together - in Jessica's room. Which wasn't what I had In mind, but we were so caught up in the moment. He was so gentle and kept asking me if it was okay, and it made my heart melt that he cares enough to make sure if I was okay

After we did it, I fell asleep for about 1-2 hours and I don't know how long he slept because when I woke up, he was gone. I felt scared in that moment, scared that he left me - or was leaving me and regretted what we did. But he wrote me a note and it said

Hey Hannah. Don't worry, I'm not regretting anything! Last night was incredible and I am so sorry I had to leave and leave you at the party, my parents were having an emergency and honestly - I didn't want to wake you up and disturb your sleep. See you at school madam!

The reassuring was dearly appreciated. But now here I am, walking down the halls of the school and I couldn't help but keep a huge smile on my face and my eyes kept wondering continuously, hoping to see him. Everyone looked at me like I was crazy or some shit, like yes people - I'm fucking smiling, is that a problem?

The bell rang and it was time for communications class, which I know for sure I'd see clay in considering he has that class, basically everyone I know or ever knew has that class - the only reason I'd look forward for this class is because of clay, other than that - it's absolute hell. I walk in and there he is, Clay Jenson - he was sitting on my desk somewhat, his back was faced towards me since he was talking with Jeff, and that girl named Skye, who I didn't know - but I know her and clay have some past together and not gonna lie, curiosity turned into jealousy on my behalf.

The teacher told everyone to get to their seats and as I walked to mine chair, clay turned around and when he saw me - he smiled at me and I was already smiling back at him because I never stopped smiling ever since I got to school, he sat in his desk, with was in front of mine, but more to the left of the class room. It was always easy to look at clay whenever I didn't understand something - I'd just turn my head slightly and can see straight at him and sometimes he knew I wasn't understanding anything, so he'd purposely would lift up his notebook and I would see - some people would call that cheating, well it is actually. But he would always help secretly because nobody likes to be embarrassed when the teacher calls on you and you don't know the obvious answer, and everyone mostly laughs at you. Besides, at lunch time, he would go over the lessons with me to try and help me understand better.

I couldn't focus on anything today in class, and neither could clay, which I caught him kind of looking at me.

"It's like the dollar valentine agenda everyone, but only with polls" the teacher said, which I had no idea what she was going on about

"Everyone did that dollar valentine thing" Sheri said

"Even clay did" Jeff stated and I was confused and now very interested in this conversation, because I remember clay telling me he didn't do it, why would he lie?

"Jeff you filling out all the answers for me, doesn't count as me doing it" clay says

"I know, that's why you did another one" Jeff asked confused and clay was seemed just as confused as him

"OHHHHH I did, didn't I?" Clay says dropping his head to his desk

"Yeah, and clay had an opportunity to go out with this beautiful girl, but he didn't go" Jeff said throwing a paper ball at him

"Wasn't interested" clay says

"Then what did you do on valentines night clay" Jessica asked

"Oh I just watched movies and ate junk food all night with Skye, Jeff and Toni joined us also" clay says

"Yeah, it was kinda weird on how Toni and Jeff knew all the words to high school musical" Skye said trying not to laugh

clay started laughing with her and Jeff was covering his face with his hands

"WERE ALL IN THIS TOGETHERRRR" clay and skye mocked continuing to laugh

"Look who's talking Skye, you're the one who fell down the flight of stairs" Jeff said

"Yeah thanks clay for breaking my fall" Skye said

"I DIDNT WANT TO! My back still hurts" he says

Wow, I had no idea Skye and clay were this close, I didn't even know clay knew Toni! I should pay more attention

-- lunchtime --

It's lunch time now and I still haven't spoked to clay one on one yet. I don't blame him though, today's been stressful with how many quizzes we have, but he texted me asking me if I wanted to eat with him and of course I said yes

I see clay and I sit down next to him

"Morning madam" he says to me smiling

"Good morning helmet" I say back in the same tone

"I'm sorry for leaving last night" he says

"It's okay, everything alright with the family" I ask

"Yes, my mother got food poisoning I guess, they only called me because I guess she said seeing her son would help her, which makes no sense because she and my dad barely acknowledge I'm alive" He says

"My mom and dad acknowledge me, but their focus is on the store more, so it's like their there and we have little conversations before our individual day starts and that's that. But it's like when I need them the most, when I need them to realize something isn't right, they don't." I say honestly

I feel clays hand on mine, as a sign of comfort.

"Parents are amazing until your a teenager, then they think we know better and don't realize we're still alive" he says "but hey, just call me if you need anything" he adds

I kiss his cheek and a slight blush forms and he doesn't even try to hide it

Last night wasn't a mistake. Last night was the best night I've had this whole year and I know I am going to be just fine

Wow, this sucked! But oh whale. Also I AM SO OBSESSED WITH KATHERINE LANGFORD IT AINT FUNNY SLSJSJSJD
