@Normal POV@
I walk through the door of the school to see Lust standing there with G just past them though are Blue and Papyrus. You take off in a run to get to your friends suddenly you gasp softly and are pulled back by your soul. You see a yellow aura around you. You discreetly take out your phone and call Rus. He must be nearby.
"Now now, dove, don't you know its rude to ignore people who are waiting for you?"
"Don't you know its rude to ambush people as soon as they come in the school?"
"Now we didn't mean anything bad there, cutie. We just want to talk." Lust says and you kick at him when he gets near.
"I don't want to talk to you. You sent me into a panic attack!" You hiss at him. He looks hurt for a moment before scowling.
"You should be nice or you might have a bad time." He growls. His left eye glows purple.
"Who cares what an asshole like you thinks." You snarl. Just as Lust was about to fire an attack at you, you hear a voice. 
"What are ya two doin?" 
"None of your business Cherry." You look over and see Flowerfell Sans, otherwise known as Cherry, and his girlfriend Buttercup.
"Seems like you're gonna give her a bad time."
"So what if I was?"
"Ya really want Classic tearin ya a new one? Or Red?" Suddenly you're released from the magic that G had you in. You get up and glare at the two.
"(Y/N), right?" You look over at Buttercup. She was a much older version of Frisk.
"Yeah, that's me."
"Why don't we take you to your friends? No one really messes with my man here." You look back to the other two Sanses before grinning. 
"Too bad for them that Rus knows all about this." You pull your phone out and put it on speaker. "Isn't that right?"
"You got it sweets." His voice comes from the phone. The other two look scared as Cherry and Buttercup laughs.
"We all heard it." Sans pipes up. "And Dream is having a hard time keeping Nightmare calm."
"Okay, I'm coming. Buttercup, I'll take you up on your offer. See you in a few boys~" you coo into your phone before ending the call.
Buttercup takes your arm and drags you with her. "Do you like one of them?" She asks and you start coughing. 
"W-what?..." you ask shocked.
"I mean the way you talk seems like you do."
"I just like teasing them. They're my friends. Honestly I'd have to say Sans is my best friend…" You trail off at that. At one point you would have said that about Ink. You sigh and shake your head before you're tackled into a hug by Nightmare. Dream is not too far behind. 
"Ugh…. Nightmare….. t-too tight…." you gasp out and his hold instantly loosens.
"Sorry but are you okay? You're not hurt?" He looks you in the eye before glaring where you came from. 
"No more hurt than when I left the house today. Calm down." He visibly relaxes. Cherry laughs out loudly. 
"Never seen Nightmare calm down so fast." Nightmare blushes deeply and Buttercup grins.
"Oh Nightmare~ you-" you cover her mouth.
"Not right now. Anyways, boys I have to get my stuff." You hand Red his flash drive then throw yours in the air. The others walk with you to your locker and you rub your ribs.
"You ribs bugging you sweets?" Rus asks.
"A bit. Gaster can't do anything else for me right now though."
"Well that's shitty." Red says and you nod. 
"Going to get them checked tomorrow at 5. See if I can get the wrapping off or not." You stifle a yawn.
"You sound tired." Dream says. 
"Eh, was up too late reading last night." You hear Nightmare chuckle. 
"Dream and I finished filming our project." He said. 
"What play did you choose?" You ask as you close your locker. Your friends follow you to the class and you all sit close together. Today started with Bio. Mr. Asgore teaches that. He smiles brightly when he sees you. You wave at him.
"We did Hamlet in french." Dream says. 
"Oh cool. Sans Rus, have you figured out yours yet?"
"Not yet." Sans says.
"Yeah, it's so much work." Rus says.
"If you don't figure it out by tutoring today I'm picking for you and it WILL be a difficult one." You say with a grin. They both shudder but agree. The day passes fast, everyone sat together at lunch, even Cherry and Buttercup sat with you. You were happy to have another girl to talk to. She starts asking you about your ideal man and you just roll your eyes.
"Really you want to ask me about that? Not "where'd you get that sweater? It's so cute"?" You ask her and she giggles.
"I'm curious as to what you'd like." 
"I don't have an ideal. As long as they accept me and have a good personality who cares about anything else?"
"So you'd kiss a ghost?"
"Yep."
"What about a skeleton?" You burst out laughing at this. Your friends look at you strangely. 
"Y-you think I haven't before?" You laugh harder. "I-I wouldn't mind doing it for real though." You wipe away the tears that had formed in your eyes. 
"You okay starshine?"
"Perfect." You say with a huge smile. 
"You two seem to be having fun." Cherry says as he wrapped his scarf around his neck in a different manner than before. 
"Of course!" You and Buttercup say together before looking at each other and laughing. 
Lunch flew by and so did your afternoon classes. The end of the day was fast approaching and you got nervous about your talk with Edge. Whenever he'd pass you in the halls he'd  stare at you. The bell for the end of the day rings and Nightmare walks you to your locker.
"Are you alright? You're anxious."
"Edge wants to talk to me. I'm sure it's about the scars…" you say softly. 
"Want me to stay with you?"
"Honestly might make it worse. The others will be in the library if I need help." 
"Alright. Text me if you need me."
"Of course." You walk to the library and see Edge. "Well, this is where I leave you. See you tomorrow." You leave Nightmare and walk to Edge. "Hello Edge." You say and he jumps. 
"IT'S ABOUT TIME THAT YOU SHOWED UP." He huffed. You roll your eyes and stare him down. 
"What do you want? I have things to do."
"I WANTED TO ASK YOU A FEW QUESTIONS ABOUT THE SCA-" you cover his mouth and glare at him.
"Quiet down. I've put in a lot of work to make sure other students don't know about those. There'd be too much talk and I don't want to deal with the rumors about how I got them." You take your hands away from him. When he talks next its quieter.
"How did you get them then?"
"When I was a kid some assholes set my house on fire with me and my parents in it. My parents died, I didn't because they saved me. Still got my torso pinned under a piece of the ceiling though." You say.
"How long ago was that?"
"Eight years ago last Saturday. Now is that all you have to ask?"
"Why don't you let others see them? I know there's one more reason. "
You sigh and put your hand to your forehead. "Who wants to be known as the freak who has the ugly ass scars everywhere? Sure as hell not me. Now excuse me. Have a nice afternoon Edge." You slip into the library and walk to your three friends.
"What was that about?" Rus asked.
"Remember how we said he interrupted us the other day?" You ask.
"Yeah?" Sans says.
"He saw me in a dress that shows the scars…" you mumble. Sans and Rus look at you shocked. "He was asking me about them…" you scowl.
"Why'd ya cover his mouth?" Red asked. 
"He was fucking yelling it for anyone to hear. And after all the work I've done to keep it a secret…. in about three weeks eight people have found out…. Not that I mean you guys are bad or anything just….. would have preferred to keep it to myself, you know?" All three nod. "So, Sans, Rus, you two figure out your play yet?"
"Actually we did." Sans says with a grin.
