Once again I got the seat at the back, while Ivan sat further to the front and next to Alfred. The atmosphere was hostile around them, definitely not something I want to get involved in.
The lesson itself was actually very boring because I've already gone over this subject when I lived in (Country/state) so I spent the lesson spacing out and staring out the window.

P.O.V change: Alfred

How could she refuse me? What the hell. Plus she didn't have to be so blunt about it. I bet it's that commies fault.

I glance behind me and see her staring out the window. Idiot, she should pay some attention. I scrunch up a paper ball and discreetly throw it in her direction, but I miss and so I try again. This time I hit her square in the head and she... Ignores it!? Frustrated I make another paper ball and throw it at her, and another and another. Of course I make sure the teacher doesn't see me. This is actually starting to get entertaining. I wonder how much it'll take to make her drop that emotionless facade. Clearly I won't get anywhere by being nice so let's try a different approach.

At the end of the class her desk was filled with paper balls but not once did she even glance in my direction.

"... Bitch" I mutter irritated and I swear I heard that commie bastard snicker.

Time skip: lunch break

I couldn't find her during break so I decided to give up and just hang out with my popular friends. I few of the girls hit on me and I either brushed it of or jokingly flirted back.

"so Al, I heard there is a new girl in your class, what's she like?"

I think for a moment for a satisfying answer "a bit of a bitch, she ignored me the entire lesson and refused to even hang out when I asked her"

"pfft what a loser" one of the girls snickers.

"I know right? If I was in her place I'd be glad, it's a miracle Alfie even spoke to her." The rest of the conversation went in a similar manner. I believe we have established that we don't like the new girl.

P.O.V change: (Y/N)

I spent my break hanging out with Katayusha, Natalia and Ivan. Me and the girls had a lot to catch up on, Ivan joined in here and there but mostly just listened to us chattering on. Our table was a well hidden outside table that we have pretty much claimed as our own. I forgot my food money today but Kata was kind enough to give me one of her homemade sandwiches while Natalia had just enough change to buy me some juice.

"thanks again for the food, I promise to pay you back-"

"no" Natalia Interrupted "your not paying back anything. I missed you so much and I'll gladly pay for you every day" she said seriously and leaned in a little to close to my face.

Kata pulled her back and added onto her statement "it's really no problem (N/N), we really did miss you. I'm sorry we couldn't maintain contact... Aww look at you! You've grown so much, you used to be such an adorable little kid"

I playfully pouted "I-I'm not adorable anymore?" and made the biggest puppy eyes I can.

"No, you grew up to much" Natalia joked and we descended to a fit of giggles. Poor Ivan was just awkwardly trying to laugh along.

"by the way, where do you live so that we can visit you?" Natalia casually asks once done giggling.

"give me some paper I'll write it down for you"

Once I wrote it down she looked at it and her eyes widened a fraction "holy shit, that's like the complete other side of town from our house" I just shrugged it of and continued the conversation.

Time skip: last lesson, physics

You would never believe my luck. Alfred was in all of my classes, minus P.E and English. I could tell he didn't like me by the glares he sent me or the occasional rude or insulting comments, I even caught him talking behind my back. Honestly though, give me a break you barely know me a day! I silently fumed to myself as another paper plane hit the back of my head and a bunch of giggles erupted behind me, great he dragged his 'friends' into this. This is going to be hell.

The lesson itself was pretty interesting and I managed to make a lot of notes despite the constant comments and paper planes sent my way. Not to brag, but I'm a professional at ignoring people. Although that seemed to only anger him more and I'm starting to worry about my future.

Once the lesson ended I quickly packed my stuff and swung it over one shoulder. I was on my way out the door when a foot found it's way in front of me and made me face plant on the floor. My backpack fell of my shoulder and as I reached for it it got kicked away by some blonde bitch. I have a pretty good idea about who it was that tripped me since I can now hear him laughing. I get up roboticaly and go over to pick up my backpack. Not once through this whole scene has any emotion showed on my face, or at least I hope not. While leaving the building I can hear people muttering about me and I sense a few glares sent my way.

Just hold it out (Y/N), they'll forget about you tomorrow.

You'll just become a face in the crowd and be able to go through school peacefully.

They'll loose interest if your boring enough, so continue your facade and they'll leave you alone.

Those are my last thoughts before I get on the bus home.

Edit: I changed one of the insults in this chapter, and once again I apologise to the people offended by it. But I'd like readers going forward to understand that I wrote this book when I was younger and a lot more ignorant, I won't say that I'm perfect now (I quite like offensive humour tbh) but I'll remain mindful of people's feeling from now on. After all, I want people to have fun reading my books above all else.

You may have noticed the lack of authors note in the last chapter, that's cuz I wrote them both on the same day.

Anyways, I'm not sure why but I sorta like BullyxVictim reader au's, but that doesn't mean I want to glorify bullying, I don't wanna get all life-lesson here but remember to help anyone you think gets bullied and that's its a real issue.

As for the fic, I'm not really good at writing Romantesque type books, mainly because I've never been in a relationship or fell in love with anyone. But don't stress, I'll do my best to get the romance part going once I'm done with the whole guilt tripping, which might take a while so be patient.

This is a very long authors note ummm
Baiiii~~
