Everything Changes

Chapter 57

*MONDAY*
You go to meet up with Casey at your normal spot by the lockers. You're surprised when she isn't there especially because you're late. You call her a couple times but she doesn't pick up so you decide to go look for her. This first place you go check is the bathroom. You push on each stall door. When you land on one that doesn't open you knock. You hear some sniffling as if whoever is in there is crying.
You: Casey?
She sniffles again.
Casey: Yeah
You: Are you okay
Under the stall you can see her sitting on the floor next to her bookbag.
Casey: No
You: Can I come in?
Casey: Um sure
She unlocks the stall door and lets you in. You shut it and lock it behind you. She looks entirely different from her usual self. Her eyes are puffy as if she's been crying forever, her lashes are stuck together, she has no makeup on, and she's dressed in a hoodie and sweatpants.
You: What's wrong
Casey: Do you not like being my friend?
You: What? I love being your friend. You're the best thing that has ever happened to me...why are you asking me that though
Casey: On Saturday after the party, Kobe told me that I feel like a chore to him and that he won't always be there to "save my ass"
A few more tears spill out of her eyes
You: He really said that?
Casey: Yeah...
You: Where the fuck is he?
Casey: Y/N no...he just
You: Casey I'm not fucking playing, where is he?
Casey: Probably where he always is, with Sora
You: Stay in here, I'll be right back
Casey: Wait-
Before she can try to talk you out of it you let yourself out the stall. You make your way into the hallway upstairs. Sora, Kobe, and some others guys from the football team are gathered around each other laughing. You push your way between them until you can see Kobe.
Sora: Y/N what are you-
You push him out your way and grab Kobe by his shirt. You slam him against the wall with all your force.
You: What the fuck is wrong with you
He doesn't answer so you tighten your grip on his shirt.
You: You think you were gonna say that bullshit to my best friend and get away with
He still doesn't say anything so you slap him across his face
You: ANSWER ME
Kobe: I didn't mean it like-
You: What you're gonna do...is you're gonna apologize to her, like you fucking mean it...and if you don't I will stab you with a fucking kitchen knife and watch you bleed to death, don't fucking forget that I know where you sleep
You release your grip on him and he looks you up and down
Kobe: I'm not afraid of you
Anger rises in your body and without thinking you punch him right in the face. He stumbles backwards and falls to the ground. You get on top of him and repeatedly punch him. You only stop because Sora pulls you off of him.
Sora: BABE CHILL OKAY...relax...
You pull your arm away from him as Kobe stands up. When you look over at him his eyes are filled with anger and there's blood dripping from his nose
You: What? Are you gonna fucking hit me? Cause you'd just be a fucking dick if you swing on a pregnant girl
A few people gasp at your statement
Sora: Y/N stop instigating...
He motions toward the crowd that's been watching the whole scene unfold.
You: You think I care what they think?
You turn your attention to the crowd and hear many people whispering different things including "she really is crazy", "didn't her dad die?", "she's pregnant?", "only little sluts get pregnant in high school". You roll your eyes
You: Yeah I am a crazy, pregnant, little slut, and if any of you motherfuckers EVER mess with me or my best friend, I'll fuck you up too
You look Sora up and down
You: That includes you too
You then kiss his cheek and smile.
You: I'll see you later
Sora: Yeah
You push your way through the crowd so you can get back to Casey. As you're walking away, Devin approaches Sora.
Devin: Damn bro...she's fucking psycho but it's hot, do you let her dominate you in bed? Like hold knives to your neck and other weird kinky shit
You turn back around, anger flashing in your eyes.
You: What the fuck did you just say?
You walk over to him.
Sora: Babe just walk away, he's just being a dick
You: So you're defending him now?
Sora: No I just-
You raise your eyebrow
You: ARE YOU?
Sora: I'm not okay? I'll handle him just walk away
You roll your eyes and walk away, you have to go check on Casey anyways
Sora throws a punch at Devin. He stumbles backwards into the lockers. Sora grips his neck tightly
Sora: If you ever say any shit like that about my fucking girlfriend again I'll kill you with my bare hands
Sora release his grip on Devin's throat and he nods while gasping for air. When you make it back to the bathroom the bell has already rung but you stay with Casey anyways.
Casey: What happened
You: Um...I think you'll see, and you might be a little pissed at me but he's gonna apologize, I promise
Casey: Should I be worried
You: Not at all, you should head to class though, I'll see you at lunch
Casey nods her head and you let yourself out the stall.

*LUNCH TIME*
When you arrive at lunch Casey is already there
You: How are you feeling?
Casey: Better
You: That's good
A few moments later Sora, Kobe, and a 2 other guys enter the cafeteria. Kobe is holding an ice pack to his eye and his nose is very obviously bruised. You almost feel bad. He takes a seat at his lunch table and locks eyes with Casey.
Casey: Jesus Y/N what the fuck did you do
You: You were having a problem so I fixed it, he needs to learn to respect girls
Casey: Yeah but you didn't have to do THAT
You: Relax Casey, he's not gonna die

p.s.- a moment of silence to acknowledge how much power Y/N has over Sora 🤭👩🏽‍🦯
