TWs: Homophobia, Bullying, Depressing thoughts, Swearing (sorry if I missed any)
Ranboo POV:
Finally, the final day of school. After today, no more needless insults, no more bullying for the sake of it.
The past month or so have been hell for me, after I got out of the hospital after the knife attack, the insults got even worse. People at school would take any opportunity to make fun for me about the stabbing, my appearance, my sexuality, my parents, anything you could think of. I was surprised I even made it to the final day of school, where I could leave all of that behind me and think about my future properly.
I walked into the school building with my head held high and my friends at my side.
'Just need to get through one more day' I thought to myself as the eight of us walk down the hallway towards our tutor group.
As we walk I spot the main people who pick on me. Punz, Sam and Corpse just those three, they didn't really spend time with the dream team anymore. I think the suspension for fighting pissed them off so they stopped hanging out and helping the dream team.
Which I was very thankful for as I could put up with the three of them but if it was all six of them, I would have definetely just left the school before I was killed.
I knew the three of them wouldn't do anything yet because I was with my friends, who were chatting about Minecraft as usual, but I was still on high alert due to other students staring at me like they were ready to murder me at any second.
I've always been on high alert since the stabbing, I didn't want to risk getting stabbed again and it being the to put me down for good. Everytime I go outside by myself, I constantly look around me to make sure no one is there, my head constantly like a 360 degree camera.
I have thought about if I died due to the stabbing and maybe it would have been better if I did. Every since I have just been insulted and bullied, its clear that everyone hates me for some reason apart from my friends but who knows, they might hate me as well but they are nice to me out of pity or something.
'No, dont think that Ranboo' I hear from the back of my head as the eight of us reach the tutor classroom.
"Ladies first" I hear Aimsey say as she gestures for us males to enter the classroom first. We did and she followed behind us.
We took our seats for the last time. Me next to Eret, Tommy next to Aimsey, Freddie next to Tubbo and Billzo next to Foolish. We waited a while for everyone else in the tutor group to file in.
"Morning" The teacher greets tiredly as he sits down at his desk.
God, i'm bored already.

I was in maths, the last lesson before lunch, and we were playing a kahoot. As it was the final day of school and we had already finished our gcse's yesterday, there was no learning to be done, we wouldn't get the results for a while but I didn't really care, I doubt I would get a good job in the future anyway.
I was winning the kahoot by a mile, somehow, it was a random questions kahoot and it was the final question.
"What colours are the lgbtq+ flag?" The board read and I instantly put the correct answer, rainbow.
I was correct and I won the game.
"Ranboo, well done" Mr Halo said. The entire class started to stare at me.
"Well, of course the faggot knew the last question, hes apart of that shit" A student says, I look to see who said it. It was Punz.
"Hey, Punz, shut up and get out" Mr Halo shouts, he rarely does but when he shouts he can be quite intimadating.
"What? I'm only speaking the truth" Punz shouted back.
"Yes, whatever you believe, but I will not tolerate hate in my class" Mr Halo warned and Punz quickly left the room.
-----
The class had ended and students started to leave the room but just before I was about to, Mr Halo stopped me.
"I know you are Phil's technical son-in-law and he treats you like a son. Me and Phil are good mates and I know it is the final day but I need you to tell me if something is wrong like how long have people been bullying" Mr Halo says. My eyes go wide.
No, I cant have another person pitying me for my mistakes.
"Come on, please tell me, I need to know cause I know all about the stabbing off course but I didn't that people were insulting you like that"
"Ever since my parents trial ended" I spoke queitly but loud enough for Mr Halo to hear through the mask I was wearing like usual.
"So this has been going on for over a month, does it happen everyday?" He asks with genuine concern and worry. I nod in response.
"It was my fault" I state.
"Hey no, don't say that" Mr Halo replies, sipping from the bottle of water he had with him.
"Why, I was the one who came out just to put my parents in jail, now everyone knows and everyone hates me for it" I respond with.
"No, people shouldn't be hating you for that plus you have Phil, Kristin, Wilbur, Techno, your friends and you have me, I have known the minecraft family for a very long time and I know for a fact that they would never ditch you. Both Phil and Kristin think of you like their son and technically you are, sort of but still. I'm just sorry that I haven't noticed you being bullied this entire time" Mr Halo rants.
"It's fine, plus the insults would come anyway, it wouldn't change a thing if I wasn't gay, I would still be insulted about my appearance. Like, yes, it would be way less often but it would still happen. It never stops and it never will" I say before leaving the classroom to go to lunch.
"Oh no you don't". I hear before I get pushed into a wall in the hallway. People watching on, but refusing to help, as Punz holds me in a grip with Sam and Corpse at his side.
"You seriously got me kicked out of class" Punz spits.
"I didn't do anything, you are the one who tried to insult me" I defended myself. There's a slap.
"Don't lie, if you weren't gay, then I would have never said that in the first place so it is your fault for not being normal" I scoff in response. There's another slap.
"Really, scoffing at me, like you are the dominate one here, you f-" Punz started to say before he was inerrupted by a voice to the right.
"Just get away from him" The person says. I stay in the grip of Punz, looking down at the ground.
"Why do you care Dream?" At the name I look to my right to see the dream team standing there. "You hate him as well" Punz finished, getting Sam and Corpse to hold my arms in place as Punz puts a hand around my neck, slowly tightening the grip over time.
"We don't hate him for the same reasons you do, Punz, so I suggest you let go off him and leave before we make you" Dream warns, looking intimadating.
"No" Is all Punz says. Not a second later Dream was attacking Punz and I was on the floor grasping for air.
I lean againest the wall in a sitting position watching the small fight unfold. After a few minutes Punz and his friends scurry away, leaving me at the mercy of the dream team.
The three of them stare down at me. It was a few seconds later when Dream extends a hand for me to get up from the ground. I take the hand, pulling myself up and continue to stare at them.
"Why did you help me?" I ask the three of them.
"Lets just say you're not the only gay person here" Dream answers before the three of them walk away with a smile. Leaving me confused but also happy at the same time that someone would help me.
I never told my friends about the bullying I recieved on the way to meet them at lunch everyday because I didn't want them to pity me even more than they already do.
-----
Finally, hell is over, as soon as the bell rang signifing the end of the lesson and the end of the day I was the first one out of the school. I did not want to stay in that hellhole longer than I needed to.
I waited around the front of the school for my friends, it didn't take long for them to arrive as they were also rushing out of the school.
Once they arrive we instantly fall into conversation but just before we start to walk to the apartment I spot the dream team smiling over to me, so I gave them a quick salute before walking away with my friends.
'What odd people they are'
