Oof finally.

You woke up to the sound of your alarm, and you actually felt excited to go to school. Ever since you made friends with Hanyu, Zihao, Xinlong, Mingrui and Shuyang, your school life had become significantly better. A lot had changed, even though it had only been a few weeks. Zeyu still wasn't at school, but you didn't mind. You had also become closer with the "anonymous" boy texting you. [Y/N, I'm sorry for making you so dumb, I know its painfully obvious 💀💀] The boy had continuously sent you compliments, every morning when you woke up. He seemed to know all of your insecurities, and just how to make you feel like they were the best things about you. [See what I did there hehe] Your thoughts were interrupted by the sound of a text message, and you immediately answered. 

"Hey Y/N, can you do me a favor? Today?"

"Of course, anytime, what's up?"

"I want you to meet me outside the school at the end of the day, I really need to talk to you in person."

You've heart rate increased, were you finally going to get to see who was texting you all this time?

"Yeah sure!"

"Thank you, have a good day."

"No problem, you too!"

You put your phone in your pocket and started walking to school, excited for the end of the day.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~tImE sKiP~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

He was here, he was back, and that terrified you. As soon as you sat down in class and saw Zeyu in he's seat, you felt like throwing up. You sat down and tried to ignore him but you could feel his eyes on you. 

"Hey Y/N! How are you?" Hanyu asked sitting in his seat beside you. You couldn't properly form words for a second, because of how nervous you were. "Is everything's okay?"

"No." You said quietly. Hanyu looked concerned.

"What do you mean? What happened?" You discreetly pointed in Zeyu's direction. Hanyu's face stiffened. "Oh so you decided to come back?" Hanyu said, obviously to Zeyu. You hit his arm not wanting to draw attention to yourself. Zeyu didn't answer. "You seemed to have lost your cocky attitude in the time you weren't here as well huh?"

"Fuck off Gege."

"Don't call me that, I'm not your brother anymore." The teacher came into the room and the both of them stopped fighting. Hanyu leaned over to your ear and whispered.

"Don't worry, we're here for you, he can't hurt you when you're with us." You smiled, feeling better. Zeyu saw this exchange between the two of you, and his blood boiled.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~tImE sKiP~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The school day ended as quickly as it started. The guys had helped you throughout the day, reassuring you that you would be okay, and it did make you more confident in being near Zeyu again. They decided after school they were all going to go hang out at Zihao's place, you told them you had to stay back for a minute. 

"See you later Y/N." Shuyang said as he walked out of the classroom. Soon after completing some extra work, you thought it was time to head to the front of the school to meet the person you've been texting for the past few weeks. You walked out the door and shivered slightly due to the cold air. You looked around but saw no one, so, you pulled out your phone and you were about to text the boy when you heard a voice.

"Hi." You turned your head in the direction of the voice, and dropped your phone. It was Zeyu. [No fucking duh bitch 😒] You didn't speak for a moment. Zeyu bent down and picked up our phone.

"Please don't break it." You managed to get out. "I don't think I can afford a new one." Zeyu looked confused.

"Why would I?" He handed your phone back to you. 

"Thanks." You kept your head low. It was awkward silence between the two of you for a while. 

"Did you do all of this just to mess with me?" You asked. 

"What do you mean?" 

"I mean all the texts." You looked at him, "Everything you said, did you do it just to mess with me?" Zeyu's face went pale.

"What? No of course not, I meant everything I said." You thought back to the messages. Was he being serious? You couldn't tell.

"Well then, what did you need to tell me so badly?" Zeyu took a breath.

"I wanted to apologize face-to-face, I know you have no reason to accept my apology after everything I've done to you, but I do feel really bad, I don't even know why I was such an asshole to you, I had no reason to. Please know that I'm truly sorry for what I did." Zeyu hung his head. 

"Six months."

"Pardon?" 

"You tortured me for six months, you made my school life a living hell, and now, now that you've lost all of your friends, you're trying to make me forgive you?" You didn't know where your sudden rush of confidence came from but you just rolled with it. "You really are one manipulative son of a bitch."

"Y/N, please just listen, I'm not doing this for myself.  I know the things I did affected you, Hanyu told me about all of it, about the way you felt because of the things I did. I don't want anyone to feel like that and I don't know what to pushed me to make you of all people feel like that." You sighed.

"'You of all people.' what's that supposed to mean?"

"N-Nothng, just forget it. I was an ass and I'm sorry."

"No Zeyu, you are an ass." You turned and walked away, making your way home, feeling good about yourself for standing up, although you couldn't help but feel a little guilty. What you didn't see when you walked away was Zeyu finally lose it. His eyes watered up as much as he didn't want them to, and he punched then brick wall out of frustration, leaving a bruise on his knuckles. 

"I fucked up."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~tImE sKiP~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You laid in bed that same night and couldn't help but go over the events earlier that day. You felt bad for being so mean to Zeyu, but at the same time he tormented you for six months without ceasing. His apology seem sincere and you questioned if maybe you should have accepted it. Eventually, you fell asleep.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~tImE sKiP~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You walked to you locker after your class to get the book you needed for the next one after you free period. When you opened the door, a small piece of paper fell out. Naturally, you picked it up and read it.

I am once again apologizing for hurting you, this will be the last time I bother you.

-Zeyu

You sighed and realized that his apologizes were sincere. You knew he had the same free period as you since this was normally when he would pick on you, because no one was around. You decided to find him and talk to him. You found him in the library, drawing in a sketch book. He noticed you and whispered.

"I can leave if you want." 

"No it's, it's okay." You went and sat beside him, looking at his drawing.

"I didn't know you could draw so well." 

"Ah, thank you." 

"Your welcome." It was quiet between the two of you again, but this time it was more of a comfortable silence.

"I'm sorry for being so mean to you yesterday." You said. Zeyu laughed a little.

"I deserved it don't worry." 

"Yeah you kinda did." You both chuckled.

"Listen, I understand you're sorry, and I appreciate that, so I was wondering, do you want to try again?"

"Try again? What do you mean?"

"Maybe we can try and be friends?" 

"Really?" Zeyu smiled, something you hadn't seen a lot.

"Yeah! And I can talk with he guys, we can all hang out together."

"I think I should apologize to them first." 

"If that's what you want to do."

"Thank you for giving me this chance Y/N, I promise I won't screw up again."

"I'll hold you to that." You both continuous talking in the library for a while, getting to know each other better, and getting closer. That was the day you made friends with your bully.

Blah blah blah, then you got married and got to tell your kids how much of an asshole their father was.

I'm kidding calm down.

I hope you liked the ending to this, I spent way too much time on it, so I hope it was good.

Have a great day/night!
