ONE TIME THING ✸ Scott Reed

8

Rae grabbed a bag of chips and a coke, as she had done everyday, going to sit with Haven and Sheri,

"yo! Rae!" She looked over to see Montgomery yelling her name, "come sit with us!" Bryce hollers at her She rolled her eyes, the two girls next to her grinning at her, "go!"

"whatever." She mumbled, picking up her stuff and walking over to the table of jocks, Chloe as well, Scott scooted over so She could sit on the end, next to him, before any of them could stop talking, the world stopped,

Oh. My. God.

Justin walked in, his hood up, she immediately stood up to give him a hug, he smiles lightly, removing his arms from her, she stepped next to Clay, standing there for the time being,

Justin took his hood off, revealing his messy hair, a pit formed in Rae's stomach,

"Justin!" Clay whisper-shouts, Rae signaled for him to stop, Jessica stood  up,

"Did you-"clay starts to ask, She shook her head almost immediately,

"Hey, Jess. I-I missed you." Justin smiles lightly at her, Anyone could notice Alex's jaw clenching Jessica glanced at Rae. 

"Can we go somewhere else to talk, alone?" Justin questions,

"No." Jessica shook her head,

"I-I came back for you."

Bryce and Tony were now standing too, fuming.

"Its the only reason why im here." he explained, chuckling sadly,

"If you want me to stay, i promise you, im here for good, Look, if you want me to go, ill go, Forever, this time," he promises,

"You said that last time,"  she replied,

"I tried to go away, i tried  to forget about you, i tried so fucking hard, but i cant stop thinking about you,"  he told, Jessica had been on the verge of tears,

"yeah, I think about you too, and i wish you and her were dead." She scolded Justin, sparing me a glance,

"wh-what?" Justin asks in disbelief,

"I always knew something was going on between you two." Jessica says in a voice of hurt.

"You're full of shit." Rae snickered

"You know what im talking about, 9th grade? You were fucking in love with him."

"It was 9th grade! Im not in love with Foley anymore you psycho!" Rae defended herself,

"Oh yeah? What about at that party in 9th grade when you lost your virginity to J-" she starts,

"Ill fucking beat your ass right here, right now, bitch." She warned her through her gritted teeth,

"I am so scared." she sarcastically says, She pushed her to the ground getting on top of her, as shes about to throw the first punch two sets of arms grab each of her arms, lifting her up, "let me fucking go, Ill beat her ass, Let me mess that bitches face up" she shouted, they didnt budge,

"i swear to god, Monty and Scott if you dont let me down right now ill fuck both of you up," she growled,

"Im sorry, i didnt mean to hurt you more," Justin apologizes, as he turns around he sees bryce.

"You." He scolds right before passing out on the floor,

"Woah!" everyone exclaims,

"Justin!" Jessica exclaims,

Rae hadn't known how but she was able to manage jumping out of the two jocks grips, rushing down to Justin's side, as does Clay and Tony. Tony tries to wake him up, as do Clay and her,

"Justin." Clay shakes him,

"Justin wake up," tony grumbles,

"Justin!" rae attempted to get him up,

"Justin. Justin." Clay budges him again

"Wake up. Wake up. Justin." Tony tried to pull him up,  Students start to crowd around,

"Fuck." Rae groaned

"yeah, we gotta get him back to my house." Clay spoke frantically,

"No i cant do this anymore. Okay? Im out." Tony surrenders, causing Rae to let out a deep breath,

"How are you out?" The two boys mumble, as Rae still focused on getting Justin up.

"There is no we, okay?" Tony continues to bicker,

"What the fuck is up with you?" Clay wonders as Bryce still hovers over Justin.

"Bryce go the fuck away." Rae snapped, "We gotta get him out of here." She sighed,

"Yeah." Clay agrees.

"Come on Justin, use your legs. Use your legs." tony pleads as the two try to get him up as they wrap his arms around their shoulders,

"hope you two are happy." Rae scolded Bryce and Jessica before running behind them, they lay him in the back of clay's car, Clay and Her sit in the front as Tony goes back inside.

- at Clay's house -

"You were in love with me in 9th grade?" Justin asks, looking up from the comic book he was reading,

"Well after that one night... I sorta was.." She chuckled, He sits up, himself sitting next to me,

"well if we're confessing our love for eachother.. I sort of had a thing for you in 9th grade too.."

Rae let out a laugh, "oh?"

"Yeah," he chuckles and notice, they then heard breaking glass. They both jump up considering this isn't either of their homes— it belongs to their best friend.

Justin stood up, looking out the door crack; footsteps getting closer,

"Shit," Rae mumbled, they rushed into the closet.

"Clay, are you home?" A voice known as Clays dad calls out, The intruder goes out the window, Justin and I rush out of the closet to see where he went.

"What the hell!?" His dad shouts, scaring the shit out of both of them,

"Aah! It wasnt us!"
