《I'm In Love》Bart Simpson x Reader

Chapter Sixteen: Ms.Popularity

~2 Weeks Later~

~Your POV~

It's been a whole two weeks since that whole 'Bart and I skipping school' thing went down. The nearly drowning experience, and the horrific nightmare left me a bit traumatized. I kept to myself for a little while, sinking everything in.

Naturally, my silence stirred up some interest. My family, The Simpsons, and even people at my school seemed to have noticed my silence. Whenever they'd ask if I was alright, I'd respond with the simple, nonchalant,

"I'm fine."

Although I did tell Lisa how I was truly feeling. I didn't really know who else to tell. Lisa is such a great listener and knows just what to say. She was very supportive and understanding, she made me feel just a little bit better when I ranted to her. It was kind of weird though; I usually bottle up my feelings. So naturally me just ranting to my best friend was a little weird.

I told her the part that bothered me the most which happened to be the nearly drowning experience.. but she already knew about the whole beach situation which confused me since it was just Bart and I and we both agreed to not tell another soul about us skipping. Lisa then went on to explain how she knew this information.

Apparently, someone had once again filmed Bart and I without either of us knowing; It was when we were both at the beach. The video had recorded the part of me struggling in the water, to the part of me coughing up water when I was given CPR. Someone had recorded my near-death experience and shared it with the whole school. Wonderful.

People then started to give me even more attention than before. I'm not used to all this attention - I've always been the loner, quiet girl in class who hides in the shadows, far away from everybody. Now I'm out in the spotlight. How exciting.

There's nothing I can do to prevent people from viewing the video. It's on the Internet. Once it's on the Internet, it's stays on the Internet. Forever. I just hope that the videos don't get shared too much. If my parents, or Bart's parents, find out about the video him and I are in for some deep shit.

The students have also started to theorize that the reason that I have been giving the silent treatment is because of the fact that I nearly drowned. They aren't wrong and I'm not angry at them for thinking so - in fact I'm rather impressed that they could actually think about things like that and come up with conspiracy theories. (Shane Dawson who?)

Now I know what it truly feels like to be a celebrity. Doesn't mean I like it nonetheless.
But this new popular status has its good side I guess.

People buy me food from the cafeteria which is great so I suppose it isn't all bad. Also people help out with questions I don't understand in the classrooms. Well...more of them giving me  all the right answers straightforward. I don't even ask for the answers, they just give me them.

They also like to compliment me..a lot. But I can't tell if they are genuine compliments are not.

I was walking to school with my head down, lost in thought as usual. I've been ditching the crowded, loud and obnoxious bus filled with talkative teenagers and just walking to school alone.

I felt eyes burning in the back of my skull, sending daggers straight at me that pierced into my soul. Due to my paranoia, I quickly turned my head and looked around in Panic!
