I Just Want To Survive | Michael X Reader |

12. The pitiful children

Y/n's p.o.v:
I was so done with Michael and with the entire world. I didn't fit in ever since freshman year. I was fine just surviving and now all these emotions bothering me. "Freaking puberty... hormones..." I mumbled as I walked to my english class. I sat next to Christine. She looked up at me and said hi. "So, what happened?" She asked not in a tell me everything gossipy kind of way but in a if you don't want to tell me it's alright but I'm always here for you way. That's what I loved about Christine she wasn't like all the other girls. I can't believe I thought of her as an annoying person. "It's not important but what I can tell you is that I am very lucky to have such a wonderful friend with me." I said giving her a small hug. I didn't do hugs but this just felt right. (I don't do hugs *proceeds to hug someone*)

Christine's p.o.v:
I finally belong. I've been found by y/n, I'm never letting her go. At that moment when she said that she was lucky to have me I couldn't help but smile. I knew she didn't like me before but now I feel like we'll be friends for forever. I don't feel lost anymore oh god I feel like crying no Christine save that for play rehearsal!

Y/n p.o.v:
It has been 5 months since I've talked to Michael. I hated him, and yet I couldn't stop thinking about him. I continuously went to seven eleven though, and I began decent friends with Nancy. However, I stopped talking to her since she brought up Michael every single time I would taok to her.

"So hows school?" She'd ask as she scanned what I had bought. "Oh it's going okay I guess, school is school. You know?" I told her not really knowing what to say. "You know I've seen Michael around here a lot but he comes in around 5 minutes after you everyday you should really talk to him. He seems different now, I should know since he always used to flirt with me 'for practice' he'd say." She would then say as she put on this goofy smile. One day I had the courage to ask her, "Are you in love with Michael?" She then looked at me surprised, she tried hiding her face from me but I could see tears in her eyes. "No." I knew that was a lie but I didn't ask her anything after that. I just said goodbye and left.

I was missing a crucial part in this. she liked Michael and Michael always flirted with her. Did that mean that they liked each other? But then why would they not be together? To be honest I'm kind of glad that they aren't a thing. I thought as I sighed and stared at the sky it was after school and I hung out in the forest next to the school since I was going to go back inside for the play. Christine was so happy when I told her I'd go and watch it in the front row. She wanted me to be a part of it but I didn't have the courage to see Jeremy everyday. At least I made her half happy. I heard some a twig snap and the crunching of leaves. Someone was walking towards me. I didn't bother to move it was probably some random person who had nothing better to do and just wanted to enjoy the nice breeze. I was wearing a black hoodie and a mask that Christine gave me so that I could match the theme of the play. I didn't get it, the theme was zombies and she gave me a mask. What was this Phantom of the Opera? I was stuck in my train of thought when I heard a cough and looked towards the direction of the cough and saw Michael in all his glory. He had a slurpee and some mountain dew red? I think I stared for to long because then he saw me. "Oh sorry I thought you wouldn't mind if I sat next to you." He stated as he began to get up and collect his things. I looked away and stared at my shoe laces. "It's alright, you don't need to move." I don't know what he did for the next 10 minutes. I just sat there in peace and Michael was doing whatever he wanted to do. "So why are you here?" He asked trying to make conversation. "Same reason you're here." I stated fixing my mask, it really bothered me. "Why do you have the mask? Are you in some sort of secret society and you can't reveal your identity. "No." I stated, he looked so lonely. Nancy was right he did change. "I'm just hiding myself because I did something really bad to my best friend and I feel like I should never see them again." I said telling the honest truth to Michael. Michael stood up and sat next to me, sharing his slushie. "Well I also did something like that to my best friend, well I guess you could say crush." I blushed. "Really? What was she or he like?" I said trying to remain calm. "Oh she's really nice and very pretty, though you might see her as an average girl." Wait was this even me? "What's her name?" I asked. "I don't want to say it. What if you tell her and she doesn't like me back?" I would never tell her, whoever she is. It must be Nancy. He definitely has a thing for her. Why did I even get excited when he mentioned his best friend was his crush. I'm not his best friend. "So what did you do to her?" I asked him. "I got mad at her for doing something dangerous once and then the other time it was because I was upset and she said something rude about someone I knew. Well will know again I'm going to save him today from what he has done." He states with a grin. I knew what he was going to do he going to try and save Jeremy. " "Well good luck I guess." I said as I waved at him and ran to the school.

I was early and I went to the refreshments table that was outside the room that the people in the play were practicing. I saw Christine and waved at her. "I'm sorry to bother you but do you have any drinks?" I asked. "Yeah there outside but you have to buy those-" she then grabbed the cylinder that had a green substance inside and poured me some in a cup. "Don't worry its only mountain dew." She stated and handed me the cup. "Thanks Christine have fun in the play I'll be the one screaming when I see you!" I joke and leave her to practice her lines.

The play had already begun it was ten minutes into it and I was getting thirsty so I drank the soda that was in the cup. It tasted very different to what I was used to. I just figured that it was supposed to taste this way. Then I felt some pain then I saw this guy that had a t shirt followed by a button down shirt that was opened. He adjusted his glasses and asked me to follow him. I did follow him outside to the hallway. "Okay this is my first time doing this I never had this job, y/n l/n I am your squip." I was very confused "um... I don't know what your name is." He then pointed to a badge that randomly appeared and read out "The insanely cool Jared Kleinman." After that I talked to him through mental communication it took me a while to learn that. Then I heard the curtains close signaling that scene two was about to begin I quickly ran backstage and saw Christine getting ready to do scene two. "I sense something stay here." My squip told me and I obeyed. I then saw Jeremy talking to himself and yelling frantically at someone. "Does he have a squip as well?" I say a little to loud and then my squip goes off and hides somewhere and I meet someone different he kind of looks like JD. I giggle at the thought and then I see him smirk. "Up up down down left right A."
