(Y/N) POV

"(U/N) come here! You have to look at this," Liz calls out for me

"What is it?" I ask confused as I walk to her.

"Look, the cheery blossoms they are like so pretty," She says smiling like no tomorrow

"Yea they are," I say as I hug her.

"(Y/N)"

"Yea," I reply

"(Y/N)"

"What," I say again

"(Y/N)!" A voice calls out as I slam my head on a table

"Are you all good?" Carter asks

"Um yeah, I'm....fine" I reply remembering where I am. Himiko told everyone to meet at lunch in the cafeteria. I just must have dozed off or something.

"Ok anyways, I think it would be good if we tried out this game," May says a little excited

"What game?" I ask then I suddenly see it, "that game!" I yell pointing at a game called Alfheim Online.

"Yep," May says

"You're not saying this to see lil old Qweep here with wings," I say

"It's Logan," he says in the background

"Naaa," May says totally lying

"Do what you want," I say

"I'll join in, after all, I always wanted to fly," Himiko says

"If that's the case, I'll join in too," Carter says

"Love birds," I comment as Himiko and Carter look away blushing

"Come on, you were married for like 30 minutes, I'm sure you two are still going out," I say

"Umm," Himiko says

"Hmmm," Carter says

"Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm," Logan blurts out

"Learn self-control," James says

"Says you Mr 5'1," May replies devilishly

"Don't say that I like his height," Riley says hugging him.

"Love birds #2," I say

"Shush!" James says

"The bell is about to go off, we better head to class," I say

"Yea, meet here tomorrow, wait actually, give me your phone numbers and I'll add us all to a group chat," Himiko says

"Sure," I say as I write my phone number on a sheet of paper and head it to her before heading to class. As I walk to class I hear something

"Stay down you bitch," I hear a girl's voice yell from the girl's washroom. Bulling I guess, I better just leave, I'd probably cause more trouble than good.

"Please, I didn't do it," I hear another girl protest

"Yea, sure you didn't, your the only one who would do it, so now you need to pay for it," the bully says. Ok, I can't, I just can't. When my sister was getting bullied I wished someone had stopped it. Now it's my turn.

"Just come out of that dirty stall, O wait, I guess you can't get much more filthy then you already are," the bully says as she laughs hysterically. I guess the girl who is getting bullied is in a stall, that works perfectly actually.

I open my backpack and grab a Pepsi bottle And some mentos my mom gave me. I popped the cap of the bottle and but the mento in, I quickly put the cap back on and chucked it into the girl's washroom. I hear a pop and the sound of spraying before a girl starts screaming. I better leave....

I walked to my class as if nothing happened. And the day went on like any other day. School finished and I started to head home. Then I was stopped by some jock.

"Is he the one?" He asks a girl.

"Yea, he is the one I saw throw it in," a girl says smirking

"Ok, then, listen here you little punk, you destroyed my girlfriend's dignity. How are you going to repay her for that?" He says with an intimidating tone

"Dignity? your fucking funny, she lost it when she started dating you," I say with a smirk of my own

"You will pay," He says as he winds up for a punch

"Listen see," I say as I get into a fighting stance

He throws the punch which I'm able to avoid. However, I couldn't dodge his knee which came up and nails me in my gut. The air was knocked out of me as he continued to beat me. After 2 minutes of pure violence, he was done.

"This isn't over," he says as he spits on the ground

"Same to you," I reply weakly

He walks away as I stay on the ground for a while. That sucked, I didn't stand a chance. I finally got back up and headed home. I tried to avoid my family, I just wanted to sleep. If they saw me, I would have to explain, which I didn't feel like doing.

"(Y/N) are you alright?" Abby says as she comes around the corner.

"Shhhh," I say as I push her into my room.

"I'm fine, just a little tired," I tell her

"But your face?" She asks concerned

"Listen, today I was dumber than the average staircase, I fell down some and this is the end result," I tell her

"This doesn't look like a falling injury, did you get beat up?" She asks

"Maybe..." I reply

"(Y/U) you ne--" Abby starts to say but I'm cut off

"Listen, I did something to help a person who was getting bullied, I couldn't just stand there and let someone bully someone else like they did to you," I tell her

"I understand," she says, " I'll leave," she says as she leaves my room.

"Just take care of yourself," she says

"Will do," I answer

I lay down on my bed and my eyes slowly close.

"(U/N) look it's a butterfly!" Jenn says chasing a butterfly in a grassy field

"Go give that butterfly what you're made of," I encourage her to continue chasing it.

"It's too fast! If only I was as fast as you!" Jenn says giving up and looking at me

"But even then, you weren't fast enough to save me," she says with a smile as I wake up in a cold sweat.

I swear these dreams, they....just are terrible.
