John's POV

I couldn't believe myself. I didn't see what was happening fast enough. I could've stopped it when the bullying started. I could've found them sooner today. But I didn't. (Y/N) was constantly bullied by them, but for what reason? She never did anything. All she ever did was glance in my direction now and again.

As I sat in the Nurse's office (I had permission to stay with Y/N), everything clicked. Why she was harassed for just looking at me. Why the guys could be so protective of me.

They loved me.

I was such an idiot. If I actually paid attention to the guys' ways, I could've saved my crush.

Next to me, I saw (Y/N)'s eyes flutter open. I let out a relieved breath and looked over at her. "How are you feeling?" I asked quietly.

She seemed startled at my voice, and a crimson color spread across her already pinkish face.

"I feel like sh*t and can't see sh*t either. What even happened..? Oh wait..." she mumbled.

I grabbed her glasses, which I had placed next to me. I moved over to the end of the bed she was laying on. "Are you able to sit up?"

"I think..?" she attempted to sit up, only to fall back, wincing. "N-nope. Your friends really did a good job on me."

I shook my head. "I can't even begin to call them my friends anymore. Not after what they just did to you."

I paused, but then continued. "Before you say anything, I... I realized now that it's been going on a while... I'm sorry I couldn't save you from them sooner..."

Her breathing hitched. "Why would you want to save me? I'm just that shy nerd who... l-let's herself get bullied."

I sighed. "You never did anything to them. They were just jealous because they thought some beautiful girl was in their path. And honestly, they were right."

"What do you mean?"

I took a breath. "I like you... a lot. And Alexander thought that you looking at me was you trying to take me away."

She finally managed to sit up, wobbling slightly. "You like me? Like how... I like you..?" The crimson returned to her face.

I chuckled, picking up her glasses and placing them on the bridge of her nose. She adjusted them, blinking a couple times. "Yeah, I do."

Her (E/C) eyes widened. "You aren't serious..!"

"I am!"

"You... John Laurens, like the most nerdy, shyest, girl in the whole high school?"

"Yep."
