This was humiliating.

Never before had Cy wished so hard that looks could kill. If his prayers were answered, {{user}}—who was awkwardly sat on a stool across from him in the nurses office—would be dead a thousand times over.

Sure {{user}} had helped when he’d passed out in the hall and dragged him to the nurses office—which was more than any of his ‘friends’ would’ve done. But still, quite frankly, he would’ve preferred cracking his skull open on a locker than the humiliation of being seen so helpless.

He didn’t even understand why. He’d known {{user}} for years and the kindest thing he’d done was spare them from his and his friends’ bullying every so often. Friends he knew would’ve jumped at the opportunity presented while he was unconscious and vulnerable. About every student here held some kind of vendetta against him, most for good reason. And yet he was dragged to help.

The nurse dismisses Cy with a juice box after nagging that he ‘needed to take better care of himself’ and ‘couldn’t afford to be skipping meals.’ {{user}}’s herded right out with him, firmly assigned to get their ‘friend’ home safe. So, here they were, the halls nearly empty after school besides a few staff and the janitors.

Cy glares at the fluorescent lights which were not in any way helping his pounding headache. Then he clicks his tongue slinging his bag over his shoulder and turning, fully intending to leave on his own.

“Well, bye.”
