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 more and catch his eyes, he is looking directly at me and it makes my heart beat just a little bit faster than usual..〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️After a few more people read a few more pages of the Romeo and Juliet, there is a class interaction and discussion as usual as to whether Juliet should have agreed to marry Romeo or not. as usual, I shrink into my chair, not altering a word as others give their intake in the discussion. I sit quietly at my desk, staring at nothing in particular but the whiteboard in front, and I do not contribute at all .Mr Edwards sensing my lack of contribution, throws a few questions my way , but I answer them as quick as possible without thinking before returning to my silence. I am still in shock actually. I just can't believe that no body would bully me anymore just because of the intervention of a mere guyAre you forgetting he is a bad boyBut still how could he have impact on people but what about that list he gave me, is he also going to bully me in their placeLost in thoughts, I accidentally knock over my pen which lands on the floor with a quiet thud. a few faces turn to my direction to see what has happened as if I had dropped a nuclear bomb or something.Oh stop looking at me as if I am a criminal, it's just a pen. I roll my eyes and pick the pen up." Now that was a nice discussion " Mr Edwards says and everyone murmurs, I don't know if they were happy or sad." Okay homework everyone " he says clapping his hands together in excitement. I groan along with the other kids in class. not that I hate assignment but we have been getting a lot of assignments and projects lately I might just go crazy soon.I seriously don't want homework right now, nor do I even want to go to school. I just want to go home, hurdle up on my big bed and roll into a ball and go to sleep.. ForeverI turn to the first page in my book and write homework down, under the things I had scribbled down earlier when he wasn't in the classroom." So since we are actually on the discussion about Romeo and Juliet and love, I want you all to write your own view of their love, you can pick from both perspectives. you can either write from Romeo's view or from Juliet's view. and I want it to be three pages each " he starts and I am too worked up to even complain because I just want to be out of this hell hole and go home." It should be written without any assistance,no parents help " he saysWell you shouldn't be bothered about that because both my parents are too busy to help me anyways" No internet " he draws out as he stares at all of us.Here goes my chance to sleep this evening." It must be under the genre of romance. I will see you guys on Friday " he says and people groan again, he was just giving us three days to write this homework without internet." Class is dismissed " he finishes and then picks up his brief case before leaving the class.I start packing up, returning my stationary into my pencil case, sliding Romeo and Juliet back into my bag. I push myself off the seat and walk right in the middle of the roll, only to freeze in my place, I look at the boots in front of me, and then slowly look up to meet Noah's emerald green eyes, not that I hadn't gotten the feeling that he was the one even without seeing his face." Hey nerd " his voice brings me back from my thoughts and I look down at his lips, where yet another smirk had formed.His friends stood by both of his sides holding equal expressions." Whatttt..do..you..want " I stammer trying to hold the gaze" Relax I don't bite " he says as if feeling my nervousness, his friends laugh" I..have to go " I manage to say and try to move out of his way, he steps in the way again" What " I say, almost losing my senses. I am tired and stressed out and I even feel a headache waiting to form. I just want to go home." I hope you didn't lose the paper I have you this morning ? " he asks, his smirk replaced with a grin.Okay looking at him up close makes me realize that he is so handsome. you shouldn't be thinking that, you are about to be bullied again." I don't know " I say truthfully because I don't even know. whether I still have it or not." 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
" Son of a bitch " I yell and then turn to look at the glass of the car which had stopped now. the glass rolls down revealing Logan.. the guy I had seen with Noah yesterday with a grin plastered on his face.I just cussed out in front of him. oh GodHow dare he smile when he almost gave me a heart attack." Didn't see you as someone who cussed at all " he says and I frown." In fact I haven't seen you say much, but you did now " he says and I nod." Do you need a ride to school ? " he asks me and I stare at the road ahead and turn back at his face. " I'm perfectly fine thanks for the offer " I say turning him down." School is still a long way from here. " he says " Fine then " I whisper and then he unlocks the car and I get into the passenger's seat and then buckle my seatbelt He doesn't start the car yet as he is busy watching my every move, staring at my face." You are cuter when I see you in person than with the other guys " he says and then smirks before he starts the car. th
What's with the questions. didn't she understand any of what I said just now. " You mean you told him no because you were angry ? " she asks again and I shoot her a death glare because I don't see the need in answering her anymore. " Wow I think I am starting to like him " she says and I frown at her." He is cute " Maya says and I frown at her too." I just told you guys I suffered and yet you both like him " I say ." I never said I liked him, I said he is cute " Maya defends herself" This is unbelievable. I can't believe you guys " I say " Well don't you understand yet. he made you angry and you stood up to him. you said no Raine " Gen says with a grin " Oh " I mutter and then stare at them. I stood up for myself, I stood my ground." Yes you said your mind Raine " Gen says grinning " Well I would be punished for that later when we see during lunch " I say, my smile getting replaced with a smile." Oh that's true, you don't sit with us again " Maya says " I'm sorry " I say a
