The principal in Scream is so fuckin weird so here’s a fun one for us.
But when they’re doing the interviews with all the students and reader goes in for their turn, the principal does the thing he does with Sidney but lingers a little longer with it.
Reader gets freaked out, for good reason, and can’t stop twitching whenever the principal comes near. The sheriff notices and decides to cut the interview short, getting up so he can stand between you and the principal.
“If you have any troubles, with anything, just let us know ok? And I mean anything.” He says that with a wary glance toward the principal who’s no longer paying attention to them. You nod, quickly making your escape and trying to shake off the lingering nerves of the encounter.
Lunch comes around and you’re with the group, a little spaced out cause you just can’t shake off the icky feeling the principal had left on you. A gentle hand on your shoulder pulls you from your thoughts, looking up to see Stu looking at you with worried eyes.
“Are you ok?” You can tell the smile you pull on isn’t at all convincing, Stu’s growing concern evidence enough. Billy’s the next to reach out, closer now that Sidney’s gone off somewhere.
“Did something happen in your interview?” You can’t help but tense immediately, something the boys clock immediately. They look toward each other, expressions darkening before they look at you.
“Hey. You can tell us, what happened?” Tatum is the one to speak up this time, Randy leaning around her to nod along.
It takes you another moment, taking a few deep breaths before you’re telling them what happened during your interview. You stutter your way through it, sniffling in a useless bid to stop the tears threatening to spill.
When you finish Tatum looks horrified, Randy looking wildly uncomfortable. Stu and Billy look absolutely livid, the latter glaring at nothing in particular while the former tries to mask it somewhat, opting to try and look comforting for you instead.
