The two students walked down the hall, Finn pointed out every class and every room. He seemed to know his way around, "So, why are you so 'fragile'." He says, his eyes narrowing slightly as his eyes fall upon the girl to his left. 

(y/n) gulped quietly before speaking, "It's none of your concern . ." It came out quieter and less confident than she wanted it to, but Finn heard it.

"Hah, well, you see, I'm pretty known around here. I know people, I have contacts. I could easily figure out, but what's the fun in that? So it doesn't matter if you like it or not. I will find out."  He says, his voice seeming to get darker towards the end of his speech. 

(y/n) felt her nerves kicking in, why does he want to know so much?!  They continued their walk down the hall, it was quiet until Finn spoke, "This is history class with Mr. Cartner. He's a bit of a prick, always getting annoyed when I show up late." He snorts. 

"I wonder why," (y/n) rolls her eyes before her eyes widened, "Shit," She said rather loud as she quickly walked over to a bench nearby, swinging her bag next to her and opening it. She grabbed out her phone and checked the time, 10:27. She had to take her medication at 10:30. She looked up at Finn, "I uh, gotta go to the bathroom." She says quickly, standing up and shuffling her bag back onto her shoulders.

"Ohhoo. . is it that time of the month?" Finn smirks, wiggling his eyebrows, "I wouldn't mind coming along, maybe we could do something fu ‒" He says but was cut off buy (y/n). 

"In your dreams. Be right back, wait here!" She says, walking to the bathroom quickly that Finn had pointed out earlier. She entered the bathroom, letting her bag fall to the ground. She had gotten extremely tired after walking around so much, "Pull it together, (y/n). Only twenty minutes till interval." She speaks to herself, breathing heavily as she quickly pulls out her pills. Taking out two, she pops them into her mouth and drinks from her water bottle she had packed in the morning. Her breathing became slightly more steady before she slung her bag over her shoulders and headed out to see Finn on the phone.

"Did you get the stuff?" He asks into the device while holding it close to his ear, "Good. For a second I thought I'd have to get it myself. Some of the rookie's we have are unbelievably stupid. Yeah. Mhm. Threatened them? Good going." He says, then notices (y/n) standing with her head tilted, "Shit, I gotta go. Take care of it Jack." He says quickly before hanging up and sliding it into his back pocket, "God, finally, took you long enough." He says.

"Uh . . Yeah ‒" She says but before she could continue, the bell had rang, "I ‒ uh, I'd better go find my friends . ." Her eyes shifted nervously after hearing the conversation on the phone, "B-bye!" She says quickly and walks away hastily to the cafeteria. Her eyes glazed over the giant room full of bustling teens until she spotted two girls waving frantically. She felt a smile tug at her lips and scurried over to them.

It was now the end of the day and (y/n) was so happy she had gone. Walking out with Noah, she had suddenly remembered she had left her notebook for math class, "Oh shoot! I left my notebook for math in the class! I'd better go back and get it. You go home Noah, I'll catch the next bus or call an uber." She says quickly, checking her bag one more time to see if she had got it but with no luck, it was confirmed it was at math.

"Can't you get it tomorrow? Mum will be mad when she doesn't see me with you." Noah whines like a child.

"Sorry Noah, I have notes I need for homework in there." (y/n) pouted, "I'll be home really quick! Promise! No need to worry." She smiles. 

"Ughh! Fine, but you're going to explain to mum why you're not home with me." He says before spinning on his heel and rushing towards the bus.

Letting out a small sigh, (y/n) begins her trip to math class to grab her notebook. She walked down the empty halls, already getting a bad vibe. Maybe I should've waited till tomorrow like Noah had said . . She arrived at math and opened the door, quickly grabbing her book and leaving. She walked outside of the school and headed to a nearby bus stop. She looked over the bus time table and sighed. The next bus wasn't going to arrive for anything hour and a half. It'd be better to just walk. Although it wasn't ideal due to her condition, it was now winter and got cold very fast, so walking seemed to be the better option at the time.

She began her journey home, but jumped slightly at the sound of a muffled scream in a nearby alley way.  Being the curious girl she is, she peeked around the corner to see a familiar figure. Same, dark brown ‒ nearly black ‒ hair, same freckles ‒ that she could barely make out in the dark lighting ‒ and same body shape. Not that she paid any attention to that. She watched as him and two other figures stood in an intimidating manner in front of another person. A boy. 

"Where is it, Colton," Finn spoke coldly. His eyes looked aggressive. Much different to the flirty and playful look earlier. His hair was slightly messier than it usually seemed, which made (y/n) somehow, oddly blush. 

"I don't know what you're talking about" 'Colton' said, the look in his eyes showed he was scared but he hid it well with his body language. 

Finn let out a sarcastic laugh, "Don't play dumb with me, Colton. The money you owe my gang. Now, we can either do this the hard way, or we can do this the easy way. You choose. Personally, I'd prefer doing it the hard way, but hey, it's your decision not mine." Finn shrugs. (y/n) let out a gasp then covered her mouth, Shit shit shit shit, she thought to herself and hid behind the wall fully. Finn's head snapped in the direction of the entrance to the alley. His eyes narrowing.

"Jack, Wyatt, stay here. I thought I heard something." He says in a quiet voice and slowly makes his way towards the entrance. (y/n) was frozen, she couldn't move. He's in a gang! His Gang, maybe? Oh my god is he going to kill me? I knew it! Murderer!  She thought to herself, panicking frantically instead of hiding. So in result, Finn found her.

He grabbed her arm tightly, making her groan in pain, and yanked her towards the other two, "Didn't daddy or mummy ever tell you it's bad to eavesdrop of people?" Asked Finn. 

"Aha . . yes." She mumbled quietly looking down. She was afraid. Afraid they would hit her and break a few of her bones.

"Wyatt, you take care of her. Make sure she doesn't tell a soul." He says, earning a nod from 'Wyatt'. Wyatt walked over to (y/n) and looked her in the eye.

"You're quiet pretty. Aren't ya?" He says, examining her, "Too bad you're going to have to be a little roughed up," He laughs quietly, "Just to make sure you don't tell no one." 

"N-no, you don't understand . ." She mumbled quietly.

"What do I not understand," He narrows his eyes and brings his face closer to hers, "I think I understand perfectly." He says and pushes her, causing her to fall backwards and land on her arm.

A loud cracking sound echoes throughout the alley and (y/n) feels her arm start to sting badly. Everything went quiet as soon as that sound was heard. Even Finn and 'Jack' had stopped to look at what had happened. Colton found his opportunity to run away, so that was good for him, but on the other hand, (y/n) was in a bit of a sticky situation.

"Shit! What the fuck did you do Wyatt!" Finn said loudly rushing over to (y/n). Jack looked at Finn. He didn't usually care when people got hurt. Maybe it was because they went to the same school and he didn't want people to find out, or maybe it was something else. Either way, Jack was puzzled but nonetheless ran to the girls side.

"I only pushed her a little bit! I swear! She fell back and then broke her arm!" Wyatt said, raising his hands in defence. 

"Well don't just stand there idiot! Call an ambulance!" Finn said to Wyatt. Wyatt frowned at Finn's odd behaviour but quickly dialled the ambulance, while this was happening, (y/n) found herself slowly blacking out due to the pain. Unfortunately, having weak bones made the pain even more horrendous.
