"i wish i were..."

⚠️TW because of language and bullying⚠️

will dreaded walking through those double doors at the front entrance, but el being there made it better.

people were looking at will as he walked through the hallway. they were whispering and staring.

"don't pay attention, they don't matter." el whispered.

when they arrived at their lockers, there were slurs written all over will's.

will bit his tongue and opened his locker. when he opened it there was a picture of him inside with drawings and slurs on it.

will closed his eyes and let out a sigh.

"i am going to hurt whoever did this." el clenched her fists.

"el, you can't do that." will whispered. "like you said, just ignore it."

will threw the picture on the ground and stomped on it. he took out his notebooks and closed his locker.

"hey, queer, did you like the art?" madison asked.

will just rolled his eyes.

"i did most of the drawing, but connor and jennifer helped with the words." madison smirked.

"can you just, go away." will frowned.

"why? why should we? i'd much rather be here talking to you." connor snickered.

"here comes your boyfriend." jennifer pointed to alex who walked down the hallway.

"that's not his boyfriend!" el yelled.

"really, slut, then what is he?" jennifer got in el's face.

suddenly, jennifer was blasted towards the wall and landed on the floor, unconscious.

"what the hell? jenni!" madison screamed and ran over to her friend.

"what did you do to her, slut?" connor seethed.

"what about the queer? maybe he did something!" madison added.

"call us names one more time!" el growled and connor started to be lifted off of the ground.

a crowd had formed around them, even alex was watching.

"el, stop!" will murmured.

connor was thrown down the hall and landed face-first on the floor.

"oh my god, you're such a freak!" madison stood up.

el slammed her into the locker and wiped the blood off of her nose.

"the show is over." el hissed and walked down the hall and will ran after her.

"el! el! eleven!" will yelled.

"what?" el snapped.

"why did you do that? you're not supposed to use your powers like that!" will whisper-shouted.

"what did you want me to do? they're bad people!" el exclaimed.

will sighed and rubbed his eyes.

"uh, i don't mean to interrupt, but what the hell just happened?" a voice asked.

will turned around to see alex. "go away."

"what? why?" alex furrowed his eyebrows.

"first you kiss me and ruin my relationship, then you spread rumors and watch as i get bullied!" will ranted.

"i'm sorry, will, i—."

"don't you even dare apologize! i don't want to see you ever again! go the hell away!" will shrieked.

alex has no other choice but to walk away.

suddenly, there was an announcement over the loudspeaker.

"attention students, three of our students have just gotten hurt in the hallway, so if you know anything about this or who did it, please contact me, principal webber, or vice principle jones. thank you, students." principal webber announced.

will and el looked at each other and immediately ran to their first period class.

alex, on the other hand, marched right over to the principal's office.

"can i speak to mr. webber?" alex asked the secretary.

"sure, go right in!" she said.

"mr. webber?" alex said.

"alexander, please sit." mr. webber pointed to the chair.

"i know what happened in the hallway."

"well?"
