Just another high school love story (Colby Brock x reader)

Chapter 21

I was in math class, the class that I sit right next to Rylee in. I was starting to get really warm but I knew if I took off my sweater Rylee would see and bully me even more. I started to sweat thinking of it.

I finally got sick of it and took off my sweater. Rylee watched me the whole time as I was taking it off. He saw both of my arms. Now he knows. I saw his expression on his face out of the corner of my eye. He actually looked a little, concerned? Worried? Sorry for me? No. He can't feel any of those towards me otherwise why would he be torturing me like this. I looked at him. He looked away faster than he ever has before. I'm confused.

The bell rang to end class. Rylee touched my shoulder but I shrugged him off and walked out of the class with Colby.

"Y/n!" I heard Rylees voice. I turned around. "Can we talk?" I was unamused. He's never been this calm towards me. I looked at Colby. He looked as confused as I was.

"Go, talk to him if you want." Colby whispered to me. I nodded my head. I walked towards Rylee.

"Let's walk over here." He pointed towards an empty hallway. I nodded.

"What do you want to talk about." I asked.

"What's this for." He grabbed my hands and looked at my arms. I immediately pulled my hands away and hid my arms behind my back.

"It's nothing."

"It obviously is something."

"You know why?"

"No."

"You pushed me to, and my mom. I just. Can't take it anymore. I was so closed to succeeding." I said the last part quietly.

"You wanna skip? School I mean."

I looked around confused. "Do I want to skip?"

"Yeah."

"Why are you being so nice. Don't pity me! Just because I have scars doesn't mean you can automatically start being nice! Shit doesn't work that way! I have these scars because of YOU! Why would you think I would want to SKIP WITH YOU!" I yelled at him. He's actually being nice why am I yelling? Oh yeah, he bully's me.

He was starting to look pissed. I made a HUGE mistake to yell at him. I started to have a panic attack. The world was sipping around me. I felt sick. I felt tears in my eyes, wanting to cry but too scared to.

Rylee saw my expression chance. He saw my panic attack start. He realized what he's been doing since we've met.

Rylee's POV
I was so pissed at her for yelling at me. But her expression started to change. She started breathing really hard. I saw tears in her eyes. What have I done all this time. Why do I feel so bad. Why do I want to comfort her. I'm the reason why she's like this.

I grabbed her arms and pulled her towards me. I hugged her trying to comfort her.

"No, no no, get off me, ass I hate you stop touching me." I heard her say under her breath. I let go of her. She backed away into the lockers and started to cry. What have I actually done to her? Have I been too rough? I felt so bad. I seriously wanted to comfort her but I made things worse.

"I'm so, so sorry. I wish I could take back all things I've done and said to you." I said quietly but she heard me. Her crying slowed and almost stopped hearing me say that. She looked from the floor up at me.

"Do you really mean that?" She asked me. "Or are you lying about that too." Seeing her like this and hearing her words, hurts my heart. Why do I feel like this. I just need to leave her alone. She slid to the floor. Her head lowered to her knees and she hugged her legs. I turned and walked away. I needed to get out of the school. So I skipped the rest of the day.

Your POV
I was hugging my legs. I heard him walk away. I could finally relax a little. I fell asleep on my knees.
