chapter 2

Bailey's Point Of View

"Let her go Jennie, now!" Jennie looked and saw that it was Alpha so she instantly let go of me and I took a step away from her. I saw everyone staring at me.

Eyes were all over me, they were all laughing at me, I hadn't done anything to Jennie, I was just getting myself ready when she dragged herself here, now she had caused a nuisance here and it was the last thing I wanted.

It wasn't a complete school day and I had been bullied, starting this semester with a very rough day.

Why did Uncle Grey have to intervene, now people would think I was a baby. Yes I loved being babied by mom, dad and uncle Grey, but not outside, people would think I couldn't fight for myself.

"Are you okay Bailey?" Uncle Grey asked me and I nodded then began to walk out of the hall.

I looked ahead and saw a head full of beautiful black hair, almond blue eyes, sharp jaw line with a cute look. It was Miguel. My crush Miguel had witnessed the fight?

Miguel looked at me like he had never done before, and it made me feel awkward. I did hear his voice when Jennie was pulling my hair. He had asked her to stop the same minute Uncle Grey asked me too.

Wait! If uncle Grey didn't intervene Miguel would have done something, because he'd asked Jennie to let me go.

Uncle just had to intervene.

I walked past everyone ignoring their tantrums and little talks that I could obviously hear.

Getting to the waiting area , Tyler and Katie were approaching with their bags strapped around their back, and as I saw them, I felt a bit calm and I rushed and pulled them into a hug. At least they didn't judge me and make me feel like I was a human, they were my good friends, they'd always been by my side.

"Hey Tyler, hey Katie, it's so nice to see you"I said despite seeing them on Saturday. As I spoke to them I tried to forget the incident that had just happened. I tried to act calm and let the good spirit of opening day bless me. It's the first day of school and I didn't want to be upset, Jennie's bullying couldn't affect me.

"You're looking so good Bailey and you had your hair done." Tyler always loved to check people out and it was the first thing he did and I did the same.

His hair was short and curly. The trousers he had on were a few inches shorter. It seemed he had hit a growth spurt over the summer and he needed a change of wardrobe.

Katie had her hair braided to the back, her tanned skin glowed like always. her hair giving that African look, her uniform fitted her beautifully .

"You look so good Tyler and Katie." I smiled.

As we spoke, the bell rang and I knew it was time to assemble. We always had an assembly on the first day of school, and I hated going for the assembly because all eyes would be on me for no reason, even the few humans would gawk at me for no reason. I was the weakest girl in school, I got picked on all the time and I couldn't fight back because I had been asked to stay away from violence.

Why was I so unfortunate?

"Let's go to the assembly." Katie said and I nodded.

"Sure, I'll just go to the restroom first and I'll join you two there." I rushed my words as I held onto the strap of my bag.

"Don't be late." Katie said and I nodded. I tapped her on her shoulder and walked out.

I didn't have the intention of going for the assembly, I would just go to the bathroom and wait until it's done. I hated attention and since I'd been the centre of attention at this school.

I huffed, just hoped everything would be fine. Uncle shouldn't have gotten involved. I sighed realising that if he didn't get involved I might have murdered someone

I walked to the restroom, my eyes spotted the head full of black curly hair.

I cringed seeing how tall he looked. Miguel leaned against the door, his eyes down and his head set on his head covering his ears.

I bowed my head slightly because I wanted to ignore him. I wanted it to look like I didn't see him. I moved hastily. I'm so not ready to look at anyone after I was embarrassed today. It was one of the reasons I wasn't attending the assembly.

I walked past him slowly. Touching the door so I could walk in, he stopped me with his words.

"The assembly is downstairs." I paused for a while as my mental self was screaming.

Miguel was talking to me?

Did Miguel just talk to me?

Holy crap!

I acted like I didn't hear what he said, walking ahead he stopped me again.

"What are you doing here Bailey? Hiding?" He asked and I turned swiftly to see him, his black hair covered his forehead and he had a smirk on his tiny pink lips.

He knew my name.

"How do you know my name?" I asked, looking at him from head to toe.

"Who doesn't know you?" His face straightened as he leaned his back against the wall.

"Oh." I mouthed still checking him out.

"You're the popular dork." He said and I frowned a bit. I hated the way people addressed me and saw me as a dork, and it's all because I'd been restrained from fighting

"I'll just go to the restroom." I wanted to excuse myself but he stopped me again. What was up with him and stopping me?

"Why do you let them bully you? " He asked and I sighed, pushing a strand of hair to the back of my ear.

Was this the reason why he stopped me?

"You let them talk to you and that's why they bully you. Bailey." The way he called my name made me shake a little.

I moved but he stopped me with his words.

"You should fight back."

Why does he keep stopping me?

And what does he mean I should fight back? I would love to fight back but I was unable to control myself. I would just end up killing someone, but I couldn't tell him this.

"I don't want to. I'm okay just the way I am." I said and finally pulled the door open.

"So should I call you a weakling?" He asked and I groaned throwing my eyes at the back of my head, I gripped the door tight, trying to avoid killing someone

"I'm not a weakling.".

"Then prove it, let's go to the assembly, I know you're hiding." He said, stepping away from the wall.

"I'm hiding because I don't want to go to the assembly, not because of anyone." I explained

"Then prove it Bailey." He walked so close to me and looked down at me because he'd so tall.

"Prove it Bailey, walk with me to the Assembly." The moment he said that I gulped hard.

This was the first time me and Miguel were speaking since he moved to this school and he wanted me to prove that I was not a weakling.

"Bailey." He jolted me from my thoughts.

"Sure, I'll come with you. I'm not a weakling." I smiled, lifting my chin up.

"Let's go." He stretched his right hand to me and his left hand was in his pocket.

WTF!

"I want to use the restroom first." I said and he nodded.

"Sure."

I walked into the restroom panicking, how did I agree to him?

I got scared at just the mention of too many names, I couldn't go with him. What should I do? People were going to say things and I might not be able to do anything.

I didn't get so used to not fighting that I had actually grown weak. I looked at myself in the restroom mirror.

"What have you done Bailey?" A few minutes had passed and I was still in the restroom panicking,

Oh jeez!

A knock came on the door of the restroom.

"I'm waiting for you. Bailey." The way he called my name made my heart skip a bit.

"I'm coming" as I said this I gripped my bag tight and nodded..

"I can do this." I said to myself.

I walked to the door and opened it.

"Done breathing? Let's go." He took my hands and started pulling me softly down the hallway and down the stairs.

We were finally in the hall where the assembly was taking place, at this moment I tried to pull my hand away from him but he didn't budge.

"Let's go." He said softly.

Walking in the eye of everyone followed us including uncle Grey's, because he was standing by the podium giving some kind of speech.

I thought he'd left.

Little talks filled everywhere as I was Miguel walked in holding hands
