Y/N's POV

The next morning as I flutter my eyes opened, I feel a set of arms around my torso. I couldn't help but smile to myself, I've never had anyone hold me this way, It felt so..comforting. I was a smiling mess before I turned over and glanced at Sheldon's alarm clock saying "8:30am" My eyes widened before I bolt out of Sheldon's bed before he groaned "Y/N come back to beddd" Sheldon complains as he pats the spot next to him. "I'm late for school Sheldon!" I state before running out of him room into Missy's to hurry and get ready. I sling open Missy's closet where she let me store some of my clothes as I grab whatever I see, which happened to be my red camisole top and ripped jeans. I don't even bother with my hair before going into the living room realizing that no one is here besides Georgie spread out on the couch watching Dirty Dancing on the television. "Where is everyone?" I ask him. "They all left, why aren't you in school?" the boy asks. "I overslept." I explain before flopping down on the couch next to him. "No one saw you on the couch this morning so they just assumed you left early." He explains before I groan dreading the question i was about to ask.

"Would you maybe..take me to school?" I ask Georgie with a convincing forced smile. "This is my only day off, Nope." He says. After a lot of convincing, he finally agrees. "Fine. But you owe me." Georgie says as he grabs his keys off the counter before we leave.

As I stroll into school, I realize I've missed my entire first period. On my way to second period, I spot Veronica Dunkin handing out flyers. I'm not a fan of Veronica, she's been a bully in the past (before her transformation). I try to avoid her gaze as I head to class, but just before I pass by, she forcefully hands me a flyer. "You're invited too, loser," she sneers, rolling her eyes. Glancing at the flyer announcing Veronica's party, I cringe. I'm not a fan of parties, especially with older folks; attending one isn't my style. "Oh, no thanks, I-" I begin, but she cuts me off. "Everyone's going, so you better show up, or else," she threatens, popping her bubblegum. I roll my eyes, stuff the flyer into my backpack, and continue on to class.

As I enter into my second period classroom, all eyes turn in my direction. Walking awkwardly to my desk, I sense the weight of everyone's gaze upon me. Why's the spotlight on me today? Taking my seat, whispers ripple through the room, all eyes fixed on me. Anxious and uneasy, I start to fidget, tapping my right leg and twiddling my fingers nervously. Suddenly, a girl beside me leans in and asks, "Is it true about you and Derek?" Confused, I shoot her a puzzled look, only to have her burst into giggles. What is happening? What's she talking about?

As the final bell rang, I couldn't help but grin as I spotted Sheldon settled in the backseat of Mrs. Cooper's car waiting to pick me up. I walked over and got in beside him. "How was your day without me?" Sheldon inquired with a smile. "It felt odd. I got invited to a party, and there seems to be some gossip about me circulating, but I can't figure out what it is," I shared before leaning my head on Sheldon's comforting shoulder, stealing a glance to see his smile. "Interesting. Whose party was it?" he asked, showing his concern, knowing how much he dislikes such gatherings. "Veronica Dunkin's," I replied, still puzzled. Sheldon nodded thoughtfully, gently running his fingers through my hair. I smile.

I've never experienced such happiness and ease with anyone before. It's like a whole new sensation I've never encountered. It's like my heart feels lighter and my worries fade away when I'm around them. It's like being wrapped in a warm blanket of comfort and joy. I can't quite put my finger on it, but it's a feeling that makes me smile uncontrollably and feel at peace. It's like finding a piece of myself that I never knew was missing.
