royce woke up to the sunlight hitting her eyes, she pulled the blanket off of her and slowly slid of the bed, onto the floor.

johnny knocked on his daughters door, royce let out a load groan letting him know she's awake.

he walked in and looked around , to see royce on the floor, he raised an eyebrow, "what are you doing on the floor?".

"i don't know", she grumbled.

johnny rolled his eyes, "cmon get ready, you have to go to school."

"fine, are you dropping me off?"

johnny nodded and left the room.

after royce got ready she walked out the bathroom and went to the kitchen and grabbed an apple. she went up to her dad who was watching tv.

"let's go, i'm ready".

they both walked out the door and walked towards her dads car.

///

"thanks dad, i'll see you later", royce said.

she walked towards the entrance to her school and entered.

she walked to her first period class.

///

royce walked to miguel's locker, waiting for him to finish putting his stuff in. "miggy, do you have like a whole ton of shit??".

miguel turned to her, furrowing his brows, "what do you mean??".

"you're taking forever", royce whined. miguel chuckled.

"nah, i'm done". miguel said.

they both walked to the lunch room. sitting at the table they sat the last time they were there.

royce sent a smile to eli and demetri. "hi guys!", she chirped.

demetri waved , eli sent a smile.

royce sat next to eli, taking a sip of her water bottle. while miguel ate his school breakfast.

"do you like it mig?",royce questioned.

"not really, but i still have to eat it so i won't have an empty stomach ",miguel answered.

royce nodded. she turned towards the entrance of the lunch room and spotted a counselor walking in with a microphone in her hand.

she jabbed miguel, he turned and shrugged.

the counselor came up and cleared her throat. "cyber bullying is no laughing matter. sending cruel message to someone online, can be hurtful as saying it to their face" she paused for a second, "i'm not gonna name name's, but the other day a mother called me up because her son was crying, after some kids online made fun of his facial deformity".

royce paused while sipping her drink, noticing almost half of the cafeteria staring at eli. she clenched her jaw, turning around and giving them a nasty glare.

she could hear whispers, "it's the kid right there". "it's the kid with the weird lip".

she fought the urge to tell them to shut the fuck up. she turned back to eli and put her hand onto eli's, who had his hand on top of his scar. she frowned. she rubs his hand, pulling it down.

"eli, stop. don't pay attention. they're just jealous that they don't have a survivor scar". royce soothed, while whispering.

he turned to her, curving his lips a little. hesitantly putting his hand onto of hers. noticing royce didn't stop him, he kept his hand on top of hers.

royce turned and blushed. demetri noticed this and smirked.

the counselor continued, "but today, our goal here is to make this school a safe space for all students." she smiled. royce rolled her eyes.

"you know if you're sick of getting bullied, my karate dojo's looking for recruits". miguel said to eli.

royce cleared her throat, "our". she corrected him.

"yeah right, you hear that eli ?" demetri scoffed. "a little karate training and you're gonna kick some major ass" he continued, moving his hands in a chopping motion.

"i believe he could," royce sternly said. eli sent her a smile. his hand still resting on hers.

"i'm serious, demetri". miguel shifted in his seat, "our sensei's the real deal. i'm sure royce could get you both discounts".

royce nodded her head, agreeing.

the counselor started to speak again, "one last thing, while we're all looking forward to the halloween dance, let's make sure our costumes are culturally sensitive."

royce raised her brow, knowing some girls and boys won't listen. she already planned on what she was gonna be. she smiled to herself. looking at eli's hands on hers.

"hey eli, wanna hang after school? we could get ready at my place". royce offered, hoping he'd say yes.

"uh y-yeah, i just gotta call my mom and get my costume", eli nodded.

"great!".

///

royce and eli sat in her room, "so who are you going as?", she asked, breaking the silence.

"a surgeon who fixes lips".

royce tilted her head. smiling.

"and who are you going to be?" his soft voice asked.

"i'm going as black widow. she's badass". royce exclaimed, getting off her bed and going towards her closet to show eli the costume.

"is that the one nat wears in age of ultron?" he asks.  she nodded her head.

"yes! it's my favorite movie out of all of the avengers so far". royce said.

"uh, i'll get out so you can get dressed and i'll change in the bathroom, okay?" he assured her.

she nodded, closing her door as he walked out. she locked her door, and changed to her costume.
