Clara's POV (Ooh different hmmmmm...?)

I walk down the streets cautiously. I look at everyone's face, especially men. 'What if they do it too?' I think. I need to tell Y/N. I'll skip today. I wish I could just skip everyday. I rush from the school gate to the cafe. She would be there.

I push the doors open. I run right into someone, I look up to see that whore who slept with Chad while he was dating my sister. Or one of them at least. "Excuse me." I say. "You're excused!" I shake my head and run around looking for Y/N. "Y/N...Y/N...Y/N...where are you Y/N?" I notice Y/N walking on stage. I force my way towards the front row. "Y/N," I whisper shout. "Clara? Aren't you supposed to be at school?" I turn to see Chad. My eyes widen at the thought of him. "C-Chad...I um don't feel well...?" I stumble over my words looking for the right excuse. "Oh really? Are you sure you're not just skipping school like your sister did?" I felt my teeth clamp together in anguish.

I walk away from him. "I don't need to explain myself to him!" I whisper to myself. I hear the strum of a guitar. 'Shit, she's already starting..' I continue to walk towards the backstage, but I run into another person. "Sorry," I mumble. "Clara? Dear, is everything alright?" I look up at Mr. Wonka. He had worry flowing from his expression. "I'm-It's o-oka-no no it's not. I n-need to talk to my sister." He nods. "After this song I'll get her over, unless you can't wait. Just tell me what I need to do for you, if that's just listening or getting Y/N off the stage now." Wow, he's a lot different from Chad. He cares about me and Y/N. He wants us both to be happy..

"I can wait," I say. He gives a small, worrisome smile. I hug him, "Thank you for the worry Mr. Wonka." He hugs back. "It's not a problem dear." I listen to Y/N playing. "Cavetown, of course." I say smiling.

"And I don't care
About my sleeping routine.
I fucked it up as it is
But we got so much
Time to kill.
Tonight
Rock me to sleep."
She strums.
"Remember when you felt like animations?
And didn't need a grate for self validation.
Tell me about
The things that you love.
The world simply needs more
Fiction cause
I don't
Care
About what people think of me
I'm fucked up as it is,
But we got so much time to kill
And so many things to see.
Life's too short,
To worry about the things we got wrong.
So hug all your friends.
And let them know
You're not letting go
No I won't let go." She opens her eyes as she hums to the strumming. She locks eyes with me. She continues to sing, but not letting go of my eyes.

After the song she gets off stage and comes to me. "Clara, why aren't you at school?" She asks, confusion laced in her words. "I'm sorry, pleas don't be mad at me. I need to talk to you, where there's no one around..." Y/N nods. "It's fine Clara. I'm not mad, just confused is all. Let me ask my boss if I can take a break for a little while to talk." She walks off, leaving me with Mr. Wonka. "Don't worry Clara, I'm sure Y/N will understand everything." I smile at him.

Y/N quickly returns. "She said yes. Come on. Willy stay here, unless you want him to come." I nod. We walk outside and sit at one of the snow covered tables. As soon as I sit down, I shiver. "So what's wrong?" I take a breath and begin to tell them.
