Chara was jittery. Even more so than usual. They kept looking over their shoulder to make sure they were safe. On top of all that, their wrist now burned even more. Not even Toriel's magic could completely heal third degree burns. They were too preoccupied with the throbbing pain in their wrist and Danny's threats to pay attention in class. That is, until Seth and Logan came up to them and Seth tapped their desk.
Chara jumps and looks up.

"Oh!" They clear their throat. "..Hi.."

"You're back..?" Logan asked. "Frisk kept you caught up on what we're doing for the project, right..?"

"Mhmm..." Chara nods slowly,fidgeting with their pencil underneath their desk.

"That's good," Seth nods. "Um...since you're supposed to work on the presentation..."

Chara sighs and nods slowly. "Yeah...I'll grab a computer." They stand up. Chara is careful to check their surroundings before beginning to walk. They were extremely paranoid. Their heart was racing. Danny had a huge influence over the entire student body. He could have gotten literally anyone to go after them. Chara shakes the thought away. That was ridiculous. They shouldn't be paranoid. They grab one of the class laptops and walk back to their desk. Seth and Logan had already gone back to work on the other half of the project. Chara sighs and takes a deep breath to try and focus. What had happened that morning wasn't important right now. They're about to get to work when someone taps their shoulder. They jump and glance over.

"Someone told me to give this to you," The person whispers, passing them a folded up note. Luckily, the teacher wasn't in the room at the moment. Before Chara had reply, they're walking away. Chara's hands tremble as they open the note. They were immediately suspicious. One of Danny's cohorts could've written this. It could've been a threat. They quickly read it.

Chara,

I saw what happened to you today. And I don't think you deserve it. We've never talked. But I'm someone who's looking out for you.

Watching your back,

SC

Chara frowns. What..? Who could've seen? Who cared this much about them? Their immediate thought that it was Asriel trying to make them feel better or something. But why would he do that? Chara shakes their head and pockets the note. They go back to working on the presentation.

Chara rushed to sit down during lunch. They were still paranoid. Frisk frowns, noticing how fidgety they looked.

"You okay, Chara..?" Frisk questions.

Chara sighs and shakes their head. "..No.."

"Why not?"

"Uhm..." Chara sighs shakily. "Well...when..you and Azzy both went off to class this morning..uh...Danny..h..he caught me and he...well...this is gonna need some explaining.."

Frisk looks shocked. "He...he what?"

"Uh...so..b..before I fell..I.." Chara looks to the side, whispering their next words. "I..k-killed a human...turns out...h..he was Danny's brother..."

"How does...he know that it's you..?" Frisk frowns.

"..He knows my father," Chara's voice cracks. "My..r..real father."

"Oh my god..." Frisk gasps, covering their mouth. "..Did..Danny threaten you..?"

"Yes," Chara nods. They're trying to hold back their tears. They hated crying so often. "..I...I'll be..fine. I'm just..shaken up is all."

"Chara, this isn't fine!" Frisk shouts in exasperation. "You could get really hurt..shouldn't we tell someone?"

"No!" Chara shouts. "...No...it's no use. The adults here love him. He can get his way when it comes to them. I mean, come on. I got suspended and he got off Scott-free for attacking me! He tried to break my arm!"

"Chara...we can't just let this be," Frisk shakes their head. "We have to do something!"

"Frisk, I'm going to be fine!" Chara insists. "Please, just leave it alone. I'm..sure it'll blow over, anyway."

Frisk sighs. "..Fine. But only for a little. If it gets too bad I'm going to help you."

Chara nods slowly. They felt extremely nauseated and anxious. They wouldn't tell Frisk that, though. They didn't want Frisk to be too worried about them. They'd done enough of that. Frisk didn't have to waste their time on Chara. Besides, they could handle it.

Chara wished Asriel was there.
He would help. He would always help. He would be there to hug them and tell them everything would be okay. That they would figure it all out. Chara loved Frisk, they really did, but they needed Asriel. They were much closer to him. They needed him right now.
