" Are you asking me to do these things for you?" I asked him
" Well yes, unless you want to get bullied by those guys I saw you with yesterday again," he says
" I.. I... " I try to say. is he threatening me?. I didn't ask for his help yesterday when he helped me. he offered to help me and I thanked him for his help. but wait he was asking me to become his servant or get bullied by Dean and his friends.
"Let us start during lunch. don't be late " he says and before I could alter another word, he picks up his bag and leaves the class and I stay holding out the sheet and wearing a baffled expression.
What in the world was that...
" So I clearly stated the plans for my science project and he said I might have copied him, " Maya says in anger at the table.
We were currently at lunch period and she is telling us how her day went. well, there is this smart guy that's always in all of her classes; Derek. And let me just say he and Maya do not mix well. they both constantly bicker and argue in every class at each other because they both always want to answer questions.
" Just imagine. I hate him so much " she says with anger before trying to murder her lunch with the fork.
" I always have to see your anger this way. if not for Derek, I would think you cannot feel that emotion " Gen says and laughs before Maya shoots her a death glare.
" It's okay since you know you didn't copy it.. so what happened, " I ask her.
" Well Mr. Jerome asked us both to go back and do the project again since we did the same thing," she said with her mouth full.
" Sorry " I mutter and smile at myself.
" What happened to you?. when you entered the lunch room, you looked so embarrassed any annoyed " Gen says and I frown.
" Don't tell me those fake whores came back when I told them to back off " she assumes and fumes in anger.
" No no, it's not them. " I mutter and looked down at my food
" Then is it Dean? " Maya asks me . " we have to report them to your school management if they keep bugging you " she adds and I hiss
" They are not going to do anything Maya, what's the use," I say still frowning
I hate this butthole of a school.
" So who got you all flustered up? " Gen asks me. I stare at her and she gives me the look that says talk now or I will kill both Johanne and Dean and their servants.
" Fine, I will tell you," I say and laugh. I start by telling them how Dean and his bullied me after school and how Noah helped me
" Wait, Noah Flynn? " Gen asks
" Yes Noah Flynn " I confirm
" I don't want him around you. he is bad news too," she says and continues her food.
" Well he saved me from them yesterday and he helped me in class today," I say
" Then why are you so sad and annoyed," she asks
" Here," I say and hand the sheet of paper that Noah had given me earlier in class to her.
Maya moves closer to her and they both stare at the paper before looking at me with the same expression. shock
" What's this ??. why do you need a list of food? " Maya asks
" Don't tell me he asked you to buy these things for him " Gen says in anger.
" He said if I don't?. they will bully me again, " I say
" That's bullshit so he is going to help you and then bully you instead, " Gen asks and I nod.
" And you agreed to this ? " she asks me getting up from her seat.
" What do you want me to do. I owe him " I say
" Till when are you going to let people walk all over you Raine," she asks and I frown.
It is not like I want people to walk all over me. it's not like I put up a sign that says bully me on my forehead. they just like bullying men they just pick on me for no reason. I don't even know what to do
" It's not like I say I like it, " I say anger in my voice
" But you act like it " she yells before stomping off out of the lunch room. people stare at us because of the scene that unfolds and I see Johanne looking at me with a smirk.
" She doesn't mean it that way Raine, she is just so worried about you that's all " Maya says moving close to me
" I know but she didn't have to be so angry at me " I whisper
" It's fine, let's go look for her," she says and I nod before picking my bag up. she holds my hand and we walk out of the lunch room to find Genevieve.
As we leave the lunch room, I didn't miss the look on Noah's face as he sat between five guys, they were all wearing leather jackets and laughing at something. now that I look at it, Noah is also wearing a leather jacket too. is he part of the school gang?. is that why Gen had said she didn't want me hanging around him too.
What was I getting into?. did I just get myself into the hands of a bad boy? the only thing I see on his face is the smirk that forms as I leave the lunch room
I and Maya move out of the lunch room to find Genevieve but it was not much of a task because we all went to pretty much the same place when we were angry or sad. we have a secret hideout right at the back of the school. it was originally where the baddies smoked or drank but they found a new arena for that so we just took over this one and named it our hideout. we talked played and did a lot of things here.
As soon as I opened the back door, I am greeted with the fresh air blowing on my whole body. maya closes the door. it was easy to find Gen because she was sitting on the floor, a frown evident on her face. " Hey " I say and touch her shoulder as I take my seat right beside her. maya sits in front of us, still wearing a grin " I'm sorry " she says and looks at me. I smile at her and hold her hand." I'm sorry too okay. " I said squeezing the hand I was holding." I shouldn't have yelled at you or spoken to you in that way it's just I don't like that you take it all in " she says softly" I understand it's okay. I should learn how to stand up for myself I know but everything actually doesn't have to be violence " I say even finding it hard to believe." I just hope you know what you are doing " she says." To tell the truth, I don't know what I'm doing " I say and she and Maya both laugh, I hold Maya's hand too as I stare at the both of them." But that's why I have the both of you by
I quickly turn forward and hold my book up halfway in my face, hoping to hide the blush that must have formed. why did he keep looking at me and the most important question, why am I blushing?" With love's light wings did I o'erperch these walls, for stony limits cannot hold love out " he starts and even if I hate this book, I can't help but listen to the way he reads every word from his lips, they sound so soothing. " And what love can do, that dares love attempt, therefore thy kinsmen are no stop to me " he continues reading and I give into the urge and look back at his face. now that I look at him, he was handsome and he reads well, I pictured him to be a dullard. his voice sounds so sweet that I want him to continue reading further, it was pleasing to the ears" Thank you Noah, you may have your seat " Mr Edwards stops him before he can speak any further, it saddens me.I should hate him but I can't help it, he helps me and then acts weird again. I glance over my shoulder once m
" You shouldn't lose it, it's pretty important " he says and moves closer to me, each step making my heart beat more faster." I... " I start trying to hold my chin up to act as if I am not bothered" Here, don't lose this one " he says and puts a paper in my hand, I hold the paper and wait on the spot. " Read it carefully, I only forgive once, if you lose it this time, then you will have to answer to me " he whispers into my ear and I nod." Good then that you understand. take your time to read and master it all " he says and then backs off of me. Relief actually washes through me, I had thought that he was going to give me his homework and ask me to do it too. " This is Cameron and Jasper " he says and points to the two guys with him. " They will help you if you get bullied according to the contract " he says What contract " The one you are holding " he answers my question and I look at the paper in my hands again before looking back to his face." Okay " I manage to say as I
I wonder why I had thought this year was going to be different from the other ones when I know fully well that it will just be the same. none of them were going to change anytime soon. Mum is still going to be focused only on her job and she won't stop telling me how many times I make mistakes, dad won't stop making money and just ignoring my existence and the kids are school are still going to keep bothering and bullying me. But on the bright side, I still have Maya and Genevieve too, they are by my side no matter what and that gives me assurance everytime and Noah promised to protect me from the bullies as long as I obeyed him. even this sounds so untrue in my ear now that I think of it. either ways I'm still getting bullied because I can't do anything. but at least I know that I would never be involved with Dean Elmer and Wesley. they give me goosebumps whenever I see them. Being an errand girl can't be do bad can it ?. I can get my mind off certain things and do just what he wan
He put the smoke on the cigarette off and then tossed it into the dust bin behind the door before going into the bathroom to have his bath. one thing on his mind, if his father fails this time, he was getting his mother and brother out of this hell hole soon.〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️RAINEAnother annoying day in high school. just two more days and it's weekend. I just have to pass through this week with ease and then stay home for two days to gain my strength again. I make my way to the locker room to get my textbooks for today's lessons from my locker. oddly I haven't seen Maya or Gen today, I wonder why they were both running late to school because they are usually never late to classes because Maya was always trying to get to school before Derek gets to school so this is unusual.I opened my locker and then I took my geography history and mathematics textbooks out before closing it. as soon as I turn to leave the locker room, I am blocked by four ladies and their legs alone already clears thei
I back my school bag and then leave the history room. the hallways is as silent as a graveyard maybe because people were still in class. it is odd because I still haven't heard anything from Maya or Genevieve and I am starting to get worried. I mean what kind of friend would I be if I don't care about my friends. " Miss Matthews " the mention of my name has me frozen on the spot. I turn to see the principal. she always strolls in the school hallway in case she catches someone lingering or doing drugs like she usually says when they are meant to be in class. she hates me and I won't say I like her because I equally hate her too.I turn to look at her and force a smile" You should be in class " she says frowning." I don't have one now " I say quickly " Then you should be in the library. you know how I hate idle students " she saysI scoff and roll my eyes Say that to your daughter because she isn't very hard-working. " What was that ? " she asks" Nothing. I will take my leave now
" Why are you letting me go through with this stress. you read the contract didn't you " he says staring at me, the smirk replaced with a scrowl." I.. I didn't " I lied and swallowed my spit." I told you I don't forgive twice didn't I ? " he says still frowning " Come on now. my lunch can't wait, I'm starving " he says " Do you want me to shove my lunch up your nose hole or you'd just leave now while I'm asking nicely " Gen says and I hold her hand to make her stop." I heard about you " he says laughing. " the badass but I don't care what you think or do. I do not have business with you so let me take Raine and leave " he says and the mention of my name makes me stare at him.A lot of people have called my name this week which is very unusual." It's fine guys. " I speak up finally and grab my bag before getting up from the seat " Where are you going ? " Gen asks me with a frown" Calm down. I will see you in the next class " I say and smile at them both as I walk up to where No
I don't know what I am doing right now nor do I know how I am going to get out of the school when it is not yet closing hours I have never snuck out of school in my entire life.Well you have never fallen into the hands of someone like Noah before either.Should I just go back and say noAnd risk being bullied by Dean again?I'm sure you missed his hands pulling your hair.The thought is actually scary, but no I would rather sneak out of school than get bullied by Dean. it's just for a day, I just have to get through with today then it will be over..〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️my head hits my pillow with a soft thud as I spread on my queen sized bed, oh school was extra stressful today. How could he ask for pizza out of the blue. I think Noah might have a problem. A problem of never being stable, he is so confusing and I can't seem to understand him. I'm glad that I'm finally home, away from the beasts out to devour meI sigh and then get up to pull my boots off of my feet before resting back agai
