🎈Mavis Pov🎈

I walked into the school with my injuries covered with makeup and a bandaid on my nose. My body was aching but I had to pretend to be fine, I saw Don and smiled before I kept walking with my headphones connected to my Walkman. My Aunty told me not to cause trouble near the end of the term but I've already done that so...whoops; I saw Bowers and glared at him and he glared back even harder, I kept walking and went straight to my locker.

"Mavis?" I slowly turned my head and slightly looked up at Don.

"Hey, Hagarty, what's shakin?" I asked him as I shut my locker door and put my padlock back on.

"I wanted to say thank you for sticking up for me, I should've helped you but I was just scared." I smiled awkwardly at Don as he rambled on.

"Hey, Hagarty, mate it's fine." I assured him as I saw the infamous losers club, I watched them eagerly as they walked past the Bowers gang as they talked.

"Thanks again, Parker...I owe you one." He softly punched my arm awkwardly and walked away from me with a small smile on his face, I shook my head and left for Science and English.

"Okay! Class, so today we have to do a prac on the periodic table, we will by studying The Chemical Nomenclature!" As I internally groaned I felt something hit the back of my head, I chose to ignore it and keep listening "you will be in partners for this task and yes Mavis, you have to work with someone." I groaned in annoyance again as I put my head on the table, "I've got the list of people who you all will be working with: Mavis Parker and Patrick Hockstetter..." I was in shock as she kept reading the list out, I had to work with Patrick...he wasn't as bad as the others in the Bowers gang but he would still annoy me, what's worse is that we're cousins.

"No fucking way..." I whispered as I felt the seat move next to me and an arm sling over my shoulders as I put my hands under my glasses and felt my face burn in embarrassment.

"Hey cuz, how ya goin?" I groaned as Patrick cackled and ruffled my hair, I swatted him away and rubbed my eyes before uncovering my eyes and glare at him.

"I'm fine, you?" I said through gritted teeth as he grinned and licked his bottom lip as he looked at me, I shoved his face away from me as he chuckled.

"You're so grown up, kid." He cackled as I rolled my eyes and looked at the set work.

"You're helping me with this, Aunt Mary will probably love to see you again." I muttered as I fixed my glasses and scanned through the work, Patrick stole them from my face and put them on, "hey! You little shit, gimme those." I snatched them back and put them on.

"By the way, I heard what happened with Bowers, you good?" He asked me in a whisper as I kept writing.

"Yeah, I'm fine." I muttered back as I pointed at the paper and he rolled his eyes and started writing, I saw Mikoto sigh and I frown slightly, Jackson was being a pain in the ass, he was Henry's second cousin.

"Can't believe we were paired up together." I grumbled as Patrick smacked me upside the head and I hit him back with my book, as much as Patrick was like my sibling than my cousin, he could be mad annoying sometimes.

"You need to fix your temper, Parker." I heard someone growl, we both turned around and Patrick smacked my glasses off my face. I went to pick them up but Bowers stepped on my glasses and then used the ball of his foot to crush them up even more "can you see? Freak!" I felt Henry's spit hit my face as he growled, I wiped it off with the sleeve of my plaid button up and sighed in annoyance.
