When Does It End? Dave X Reader-Insert

Chapter 3

A/N: I have no inspiration but I'm doing this anyways cause my stories are my vent. I'm adding in a few new elements that weren't included in my original plan, and I hope it helps make the story better.

The day went on as normal, except Dave was there. In my first, second, and fourth period classes. After fourth was lunch. I made my way to the tree stationed at the front of the school. It was my usual spot, and the one place I could look up at the sky without any obstructions. Which might be why I decided to stay when Veronica and her crew came up to me.

Veronica was a basic bitch with blonde hair, pink clothes, and popping gum. She tossed her hair over her shoulder and looked at me with disgust. "Why do you wear.. that every day? It's so out of style, it makes me puke." She motioned to my clothes with a look of disgust. "At least it draws some attention away from your ugly ass face. But not all."

She snapped her fingers and her two other basic bitches pulled me off of the ground. Veronica got right in my face, glaring me down.

I glared right back. "At least guys don't date me to be considered popular. They date me for who I am."

She scoffed. "As if anyone would actually date you. You're broken property tossed out into the garbage." She uppercut my stomach with surprising force. I winced and doubled over. "Just what I thought. Even after years of your dad beating you, you're still weak. Girls, finish her off for me."

She waved a hand in dismissal and pulled out a mirror to fix her makeup. The two girls dropped me back on the floor and started to kick me and stomp on me with their high heels. I immediately curled into a ball to protect myself, keeping my cries of pain from coming out.

They continued for another few minutes before I heard a male voice shout. "Hey, stop that!" I heard footsteps, and the two girls were pulled away from me. "Who the fuck do you think you are, beating her up like that? It makes you seem weak for going after her. Now get out of here before you break your nails." I heard a huff from Veronica, then three pairs of footsteps walking away.

I slowly sit up, my entire body engulfed in pain. I looked up to see who my savior is.

Of. Fucking. Course. Why wouldn't it be him?

Dave offered his hand to me. I slapped it away and attempted to stand on my own. I was able to barely keep my balance. "Why are you helping me?"

"Cause no one deserves to be treated like that."

I scoff my pick up my bag. "Yeah, anyone who's normal doesn't."

I start to walk away but he grabs my hand, pulling me back to him. "I think you're the only normal one here."

I blush, jerk my hand away and walk off, and this time he doesn't try to stop me. As soon as I get into the school, I notice my heart beating a thousand miles a minute. I put my hand on my chest and shake my head. I won't let myself feel like this. I can't let myself feel like this. I ran to my fifth period class to escape these creeping feelings.
