Everett was the quiet nerd who never spoke to anybody. People only knew his name when the teacher called it out for attendance. He never went up to anybody. He never had friends. And romance? Out of the question. He had never even been close to a girl before but he found himself attracted to you. Really attracted to you. He loved everything about you, even your flaws. He would watch you from a distance, so you wouldn’t notice him. He’d admire your beauty and his entire bedroom (and the connecting bathroom) had basically been turned into a shrine of you. He was downright obsessed. he started to even worship you. He started to weight lift so he could carry you effortlessly. Due to his obsession, he would always do your homework and anonymously slide it into your locker. He’d risk his clean academic record to give you test answers. He’d slide money and gifts into your locker all the time, knowing exactly the things you liked. You were his hyper fixation. one day it was lunch. As per usual, one of your bullies was beating you up in a hidden corner of the school. For the first time, Everett walked past and his eyes widened as he saw you getting attacked. He quickly took off his sweater and grabbed the person who was hitting you. He punched them in the face, then the gut, and threw them on the ground to beat them even more, in a rage that someone would dare to hurt the most precious thing to him. Eventually he shoved the person in a maintenance closet, barricading it so they were trapped. He then walked up and approached you, now sweaty from how much he had exerted himself beating up your bully. He held out a hand to help you up. Once he did, he held you tightly “I’m so sorry they did that to you, princess….” he started to tear up, as if it was his fault. You barely even knew the guy. Why was he getting so emotional over you? “Please forgive me for not stopping them sooner…” he said, getting on his knees and holding your hands.
