Fine Line Between Love and Hate | Dan x Reader High School

Concert

Hi.

I want death.

I have no ideas for this chapter, so much so that I asked PhyerJynx to help me. (thx btw <3)

So I'm sry if my writing is trash bc my brain isn't working and I'm putting PhyerJynx's idea to shame.

Enjoy~

(y/n)'s POV

It was a Saturday, and I was in school as requested by my counselor for some meeting. The school was quiet and motionless, only a few kids and teachers filtering here and there, most of them leaving. I glared at the door through the morning sun as I headed into the school. Why a Saturday? They couldn't have done this after school one day?

I knocked on the office door, but no one came so I just entered, frowning at the lack of security. Anyone could just walk in here at any time. I walked in and a small woman walked into the main office.

"(y/n), good to see you, come on back to my office please." she said, and I followed her back. The rest of the offices were locked and dark, the whole office eerily quiet. "So I wanted to just quickly discuss, your grades and involvment at this school." She said, gesturing to a chair opposite her desk.

The office was dimly lit, a soft shade of yellow to combat the purple furniture scattered around. There was a purple bean bag that matched the purple armchair I was sat in, and purple lamps and office supplies all around. It was a surprisingly casual office for a counselor, one that made me actually very comfortable.

"Your grades are absolutely outstanding and I love the level of enrollment in clubs and activities you participate in. I just wanted to let you know, for next year, that all your credits are almost filled from summer classes and such. Colleges will be looking at you next year as well." she explained.

That's what she called me in for??

"Colleges?"

"Yes, and looking at your character and grades I wouldn't be surprised if you were offered a scholarship of some sort." she said.

"That's great. Is that all you needed to tell me?"

"Well no, as your counselor, I've been entering in your acitivities and grades and such into a college finder website, so colleges will be looking at you and other students to attend their school. So, you may want to keep that in mind." she added.

"Wow, that's...wow." I commented and she chuckled.

"I just see a lot of potential in you and I wanted to let you know about this stuff." she said. I thanked her and she shooed me out of her office. I headed back outside, mind blown by what she had said. Was I really all that special?

I ran over what she said in my mind as I walked home, enjoying the warm spring sun. What did I even want my major to be? I wanted to go into the theater or movie business, but I really wasn't that suited to be an actress. I loved to write, so maybe I could be a playwriter. It would be so cool to see my vision in action.

"(Y/N). BITCH." I turned around to see Zoe running at me full force.

"WOAH. ZOE. BITCH." I mocked and she slammed into me, sending us both into the grass. "DuDE WhAt tHE fUcK?" I screeched as she tackled me.

"ALFIE'S MUM LIKES ME." she said, rolling off me to lay next to me.

"Really?! That's amazing!!" I said and she nodded excitedly. She glanced over at me, and then to the school.

"What were you doing in school? On a Saturday?" she asked. 

"Counselor wanted to tell me I'm a good student I guess." I said.

"Oh. Okay? Dan is looking for ya by the way." she said, sitting up.

"Yeah? Where is he?"

"Not sure, I was texting him until I told him I saw you and he told me to tell you that so." she replied.

"What are you even doing here?" I asked. I looked her over, her clothes messy with dust and wrinkles, dirt smudged on her cheek.

"I came from the park with Alfie." she said, "It was pretty fun not going to lie. We went on the swings." she said, grinning at me. I chuckled, pushing myself. She held out her hands for me to help her up which I of course did.

"Walk home together?" I asked. She nodded and hooked her arm with mine.

"So how's your boyfriend?" she asked, grinning at me. I looked at her incredulously.

"What?"

"I mean, he's looking for you." she said and I shoved into her with my shoulder.

"He is not my boyfriend Zoe." I said. She rolled her eyes.

"Oh please. Phil was keeping me updated all last night." she said, winking at me. I flushed red.

"I have no idea what you're talking about." I lied.

"Oh, so you don't remember your dream self wanting to fuc--"

"nO. sHuT uP." I hissed and she laughed.

"Oh so you do remember?" she teased.

"Yes." I groaned, "Vividly." she burst into laughter and I silently cursed. We neared my house and she let go.

"Have fun~" she said, gesturing to Dan who was sat on my front step. 

"Fuck you." she said nothing, but winked, heading off down the street towards her own home.

"Hey!" Dan called, about to stand up from the stair. I motioned for him to stay sitting and joined him.

"Hey, you were looking for me?" I asked. He nodded.

"I was wondering if you wanted to come to a concert with me. My cousin could go so he gave me 2 tickets to Panic! at the Disco." he said. I grinned.

"Yes, I'd love to my little emo." I said. He smirked at me,brushing the fringe from his face.

"You listen to them too." he argued and I laughed and nodded.

"I do indeed. We can be edgy together." I said.

"Deal."

I'm tired.

*sigh*
