~the next day~

Zach's POV

today was Friday. i planned on having a small party with my friends. i also wanted to get closer to Erin. it was the end of first block so i decided to check the main hallway for my friends. i walked into the hallway and i saw Erin alone at her locker. i walked up to her, making her drift her attention onto me.

"hey" she said, smiling.

"wassup, uh i was wondering if you wanted to hang out tomorrow? like the whole gang too" i said.

"i'd love to! but i think the rest of the gang has plans for tomorrow, not sure though" she said.

"well as long as you're free, i'm fine" i said. smooth, zach, smooth.

"well, count me in. i gotta go to class now but catch ya later!" she said, walking away. i mouthed a bye once she was long gone.

Luke's POV

i walked into the main corridor and saw Zach. that bitch. i went up behind him and gave him a wedgie. he screamed, making everyone look.

Zach's POV

thank god tyler was coming around the corner and saw me. he ran over to me but Brendon came and tackled him.

Tyler's POV

i saw Luke bullying Zach and immediately ran to save Zach. before i could get there i was tackled on the ground. i looked up only to meet eyes with Brendon.

"leave me alone!" i screamed, squirming in his grip. he picked me up and took me into a dark room with Luke following us. Zach and i cried in pain.

Brendon and Luke threw Zach and i on the ground.

"you two bitches stole our girls, now you're going to pay" the said in a demonic voice. Zach and i looked at each other for a second.

"let us go or we'll tell the principal!" Zach screamed, trying to get up but Luke just kicked him back to the ground.

"ha, like the principal cares" Brendon said with an evil smirk across his face. Zach looked at me, worried.

"what are you gonna do?" i let out, gulping.

"we may have a little friend of yours to help us..." Brendon and Luke grinned at each other. Corbyn stepped into the room.

"Corbyn?!" Zach and i gasped.

"yep. he's one of us now" Luke said, smirking, giving Corbyn a high five.

"Corbyn! what's gotten into you?" i asked.

*trigger warning! involves cutting*

"face it, Tyler, you're no good. listen to the voices inside your head and kill yourself!" he said, causing them to laugh. Zach took my hand and held it.

"don't listen to them" Zach whispered.

"h-how do you guys know how i feel?" i asked.

"please, i heard your conversation with Brittany in music class. now it's time for you to fulfill your dreams, and hurt yourself" Corbyn said, pulling a blade out from his pocket and handing it to me.

"here! use it!" Corbyn yelled at me. i didn't take the blade so he threw it at me, leaving a small cut on my nose. Zach gasped, and held my hands.

"and you Zach, i've always secretly hated you" Corbyn said, crossing his arms.

"now Tyler you either cut yourself or Zach will cut you" Luke said.

"i would never!" Zach shouted.
