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

Back to School

Meh.

Enjoy~

(y/n)'s POV

It had been 3 days since I was discharged from the hospital and dealing with my mom has not been fun. I was actually happy to get to school for once. And per my mothers request I didn't move unless to go to the bathroom and no friends were allowed to visit. For 3 days.

I had been constantly texting Dan of course and we exchanged pictures of Colin and Muffins.(I think that's ur dogs name idek)

Now I was happy to get to school but extremely sore. All the teachers and students knew about what happened and I looked and felt miserable but I was happy to see everyone.

I walked, or rather hobbled in with a slight hunch in my back. There was bandaged wrapped around my torso so I was more upright that I would've been. I could feel people's stares as I walked in, but I knew I'd be the 'girl who got shot'. It was heavily expected after that news station exposed me without permission. I had even gotten a call from the principal to tell me to take my time transitioning back and such. That of course on top of the hundred of dms saying to get better and asking questions.

I passed by and people were whispering, but snippets of conversation I heard didn't seem right.

Thirsty

Even when she's shot

I turned to the source and she avoided my gaze. What were they even talking about? Thirsty?

"Hey (y/n) let's uh get you to your locker yeah?" I glanced to see Grace tugging me along lightly. I followed her without question, pondering exactly why she seemed so stressed. "People are horrible."

"What?" I question as we approached my locker.

"Caspar's been busy." She commented. I was confused for a moment before I realized what she was talking about.

"What did he say?"

"That you begged him to kiss you." She admitted.

"I-I don't think I did." I'm pretty sure."

"Pretty sure?"

"I was pretty drugged up Grace." I defended and she nodded.

"I don't know what to do." She said, sighing.

"Ignore it. I'll talk to Caspar in a few." I said. She nodded and headed off to her class. I packed up my backpack with some difficulty. I glanced around for someone who would know where Caspar was. I noticed one of his lame friend and approached.

"Where is he?" I asked, squinting.

"He's at his locker." He quickly admitted and I thanked him, heading over to Caspar's locker. I spotted him and headed over to him.

"Hey! Asshole!" I called and he glanced over at me nervously. "I heard something today." I said, blocking him off from the rest of the hallway.

"What?" He asked.

"That I begged you to kiss you." I scoffed and he backed up slightly. "I'd take it back. Because you know that even if I was shot I can still ruin you just like I did Austin. So back off Lee or I'll kick your ass." I threatened. He seemed to know exactly what I was saying and backed up further.

"I-I--"

"Don't count on getting any girlfriends anytime soon because I take back what I say. Your horrible. Go fuck off." I said and I left him alone at his locker.

I headed to math, wanting to see Dan. He wasn't in his desk and I frowned, sitting down anyway. It was getting close to the bell and he wasn't here. I tapped my foot impatiently until he walked through the door in the midst of a yawn. I hadn't told him I was back today, as a surprise but I figure he probably already knows.
