"so are you excited?" mom asked as she raised an eyebrow. "uhh a bit, i just hope this year goes well" you said as you gulped down some orange juice.
"i'm a bit sad because i had to leave michael and amber back home though, i hope this long distance thing goes good. we're going to see each other soon." you said as you looked away.
"i think it'll go good. don't worry." she said with a small smile. you nodded and started walking to school. it wasn't too far from home so at least that was good.
*couple minutes later*
"good morning class! so remember how i said we were having a new student? here she is! come in!" said mrs. cooper.
you walked in and looked around, everybody's eyes were on you. except for one. he was just looking down at his desk. probably doing school work or something.
"hey, i'm (y/n) (l/n). nice to meet you all" you said with a warm smile. even though in the inside you was dying of nervousness. wondering if you got on everybody's good side.
most people nodded and others just shrugged. and you saw some wink and smirk at you which made you wanna run out the class. you hated shit like that.
"okay go ahead and sit next to helen" she said as she pointed to a boy with dark hair and pale skin. he looked like he hasn't slept in a while and looked really serious.
you looked at him and smiled. but he just simply looked at you and looked down at his drawing. you sat down next to him. couple minutes pass and you looked at his drawing.
he lifted up his head a little and said "what are you starring at?" his voice sounded a bit raspy and deep. he sounded pissed too.
"a-ah sorry, i was just looking at your drawing. it's really nice." you said looking at his eyes. they were a deep icy blue, long eyelashes and perfect brows.
you looked away, you were very nervous around such a guy like that.
"thank you." he quietly said, "so can you draw?" he asked, breaking the awkward silence between us.
"mhm" you said as you nodded, you took out your sketch book and pencils. "well.. what can you draw?" he asked.
"you'll see in a bit" you said with a little smile, he gave me a serious look then shrugged it off.
you started to draw him, the details, the shading and everything else. you took your time on it as well.
time to time, you'd see helen looking over.
*bell rings*
"whew, okay i'm done! and just in time" you said as you showed him your drawing of him. his eyes widened. "whoa, not bad (y/n)" he said as he kept looking at it.
"thank you helen" you said as you smiled at him. he nodded. break started so you grabbed your bag and headed out. you were about to go to the bathroom but then somebody touched your shoulder.
you turned around and saw two boys. "hey, we were wondering if you wanted to come to our party tonight. there's gonna be drinks, weed and it's gonna be a blast." one of them said as the other one gave me a toothy smile.
"uh, sure i'll come. where and when?" you asked as you nervously smiled. "7:30, at 388 green bell." he said, "okay i'll be there." you said, they walked away and suddenly, you noticed helen was standing there.
he quickly turned around and headed the other way. weird. but whatever.
*flashback*
"you're so weak. literally." said maddie as she kicked you in the ribs. "w-why do you hate me so much." you asked as you tried standing up but had no energy whatsoever.
she aggressively grabbed your hair and made you face her. "because you think you're hot shit, and someone needs to put you in your place. i don't even know why you still bother to come here. get the fuck out of here, i don't want to see your fucking face." she said. "am i clear?" she asked as she threw your head on the ground.
"y-yes.." you said quietly. as tears rolled down your cheeks. "let's go." she said to the other girls, they nodded and spit at you before walking away.
*end of flashback*
you shook your head to forget about that. and headed to your other class as soon as the bell rung.
*7:20pm*
helen/bloody painter pov .
'7:30' repeated in helen's mind, 'why the hell do i even want to go' helen sighed.
his mind drifted to (y/n).
(y/n)'s pov .
"be safe okay" mom said as she waved goodbye. you waved back, "okay i will" you said as you gave her a smile, you started walking. this was your first party and you didn't wanna seem like a bore to everybody. finally people start treating you good and that's all that mattered. finally fitting in.
"hey! everybody, this is the new girl! (y/n)!" said the guy from earlier, "hey" you said to everybody as you waved. "i don't think you know my name do you?" he said as he poured tequila into a cup.
"haha no i don't, sorry for not asking" you said as you put your hair behind your ear. "my names erin jacobs." he said smiling as he passed the cup to you.
"thanks" you said taking a sip, you've never had alcohol before so you made a pretty weird face after. hope nobody saw that.
music played loud, everybody was dancing and you joined as well. singing and drinking was all you were doing for those good 20 minutes until..
"oh honey, you must be pretty drunk huh?" said a male voice, you couldn't really walk right and everything around you was spinning. "u-um yea.. i'm r-really drunk haha" you said as you bursted out laughing.
he whispered something in your ear, it tickled and you laughed like an idiot. "oh my god, that tickles!" you said as he pushed you into a room.
he placed you on the bed and you soon heard the door close.
"let's get you all comfortable.." he said as he towered over you. grabbing you by your cheeks and making you kiss him. "s-stop! seriously! f-fucking stop!" you yelled out, mascara filled tears started running down your cheeks.
you pushed him off but he came right back stronger. "p-please stop!" you yelled again. you soon heard the door get kicked down and you saw helen standing there. fists curled up and he had a pissed off look on his face.
"h-helen.." you whispered, shaking and tears still running down your cheeks. "hey man who the fuck are you! get the fuck out seriously!" the other guy yelled as he stood up.
helen said nothing, but punched him right in his mouth. hit after hit after hit, the guy begged for mercy but helen seemed to enjoy making him suffer.
the first time you saw helen smile.
"let's get you back home." he said calmly as he put his hand in front of you. you looked at it, it was bloody. you nodded and took his hand.
you both soon left the party and started walking to your house. it was quiet until you broke the silence, "thank you, like seriously i'm so thankful, thank you so much." you said.
he nodded, "yeah of course." he said, voice quiet and all. he was hard to read but maybe he was just shy.
"thanks for walking me home" you said as you opened your front door. "welcome" he said and started walking off.
