Chapter 13Charity POVIt was a tough decision to make, but I didn't have any choice at this point. Waking up this morning, I had my bath and got ready for school. I have made up my mind to go plead with Xee to talk her Mom out of withdrawing her command to expel me from the school. This was going to be another way for them to bully me again, but I would endure whatever I had to until I leave the school. I have made up my mind to be the weak girl they wanted me to be, the girl they will bully and won't fight back. If that was the only thing it would take me, I would make the sacrifice.The cab I boarded soon got to the usual spot where he drops all the time, I headed to the school gate. Standing in front of the school gate, I stopped to ask myself if what I was doing was right, but then, I didn't have any choice.Taking a deep breath, I finally walked into the school compound and walked slowly toward the verandah. I could feel every students' gaze on me as they whispered. I could hear
Chapter 14Charity POVI woke up feeling refreshed and excited. My expulsion has been withdrawn, and I will be resuming school today. After the incident two days ago, I got a message yesterday that I should resume school today, and trust me, I've been so excited, but at the same time felt reluctant to go there, knowing that today would be the beginning of my misery as a student. They won't stop until they drain me this time."Stay focused, Cha Cha. You know why you are going to the school, so you should just think about that and leave every other bad energy," I said to myself and grabbed my backpack, leaving my room afterward. I already tidied up my room and had breakfast, so I just left for school afterward. I didn't bother to take a cab, so I just headed to the bus stop where I took the first bus and soon, we got to the last bus stop which was just five minutes walk from my school.Arriving at the school gate after a long walk, I held my backpack nervously and gulped down the lump i
Chapter 15Charity POVIt was finally lunchtime, and I didn't plan to go out for lunch. My body felt stiff, and I could barely move a finger after spending my morning washing the toilet and the restrooms. I was trying to fix my textbook when I heard someone call my name, and I raised my gaze to find a student whom I assumed to be from the junior class."Yes?" I raised my eyebrows, wondering who he was and why he was calling me."Chase asked to see you," I gasped sharply, recalling that Chase asked me to see him earlier. I quickly stood up and put my book away, rushing out of the class before another hell would be let loose on me. My legs hurt when I started taking the stairs to the rooftop, and I soon got there. I thought I would meet all the boys there, but I was stunned to find him alone there. What is he up to now?"You've got some guts. I asked you to come see me, and you were waiting for me to send someone to call you...""I'm sorry," I quickly apologized to him. Listening to h
Chapter 16Next day in school Charity POVIt was always becoming a daily routine for me to wash the toilet whenever I came to school, and today wasn't any different. Well, just like yesterday, I was lucky to have marked attendance today too. Seeing Enny in school today made me excited. At least, I won't be alone today."You look drained. I feel so bad that I couldn't help you," she pouted her lips as I sat beside her, but I smiled at her."Don't worry, I'm fine. How are you feeling now?" I asked her, and she nodded her head while smiling at me brightly."I'm perfectly fine now. I missed you so much yesterday," she pouted her lips, and I smiled at her.Our history teacher, Miss Sophia came to teach us and after one more lesson, it was finally lunchtime. My phone buzzed just when people were leaving for the cafeteria, and a message from Chase popped on the screen.'Don't forget our appointment' I bit my bottom lip as the realization dawned on me now that he asked us to meet at the roo
Chapter 17Charity POVA figure was towering over me as I forced my eyes open, followed by a faint voice which I quickly recognized to be Enny's. Where the hell am I? I wondered as I rubbed my forehead, groaning in pain."Charity... Are you awake? Are you ok?" Enny asked me again, and slowly, my vision became clear. The ceiling was familiar, but when I looked around, I couldn't seem to get a grasp of where I was."Where am I?" I finally asked, releasing a deep sigh."You are in the infirmary. How are you feeling now? Do you want me to get the nurse?" She asked me worriedly as she held my hand and touched my forehead probably to feel my temperature, but I slowly shook my head."No, I'm fine," I replied to her, and she nodded her head."Do you want me to get you something to eat? Maybe snacks, or...""Don't worry, I'm fine," I cut her off, and she nodded her head."What's the time?" I asked her as I managed to sit up on the bed, and she checked her wristwatch."It's 1:15pm," she replied
Chapter 18Charity POV"Hi! You are back? I've been waiting for you for some time now. Where are you coming from?" He asked me with a smile lingering on his face, but I stared at him wordlessly, still trying to put everything together to make sense to me."How did you know my house, and wh...what are you doing here?" I asked the questions I was curious about, but he shrugged, leaning against his car while tucking his hands inside his pockets."Does it matter how I knew your house? I'm already here, so don't you think you should at least offer me a drink inside? I came for a visit," The corner of his lips tugged into a smirk."Sorry, but I don't think we are that close for you to come visit me and for me to offer you a drink. If you are here to convince me to accept your offer, then don't waste your energy and just leave because I won't change my mind," I said to him clearly, and he scoffed."Convince you? Why should I do that when I know you will eventually do what I want?" He straigh
Chapter 19Charity POV"What the hell did you just do?" I yelled at the top of my voice as I followed him out of the class. He left the class after what he did."Hey! Why are you yelling at him? You were the one that asked him to be your boyfriend, didn't you?" Carl, one of the group members uttered, smirking at me, but I ignored him because I had no business with him."Stop making a fuss about this. You should be grateful he kissed you. You know how many girls are dying to have a taste of his lips?" Jaxon rolled his eyes, and I huffed angrily. By now, almost all the students were in the hallway to watch the drama, some were sticking their heads out through the window to watch the drama. I have never been this humiliated in my entire life, and it hurts so bad now that I know what it feels like."Chase... What have I ever done to you? Why are you doing this?" I didn't want to cry, but I couldn't also hold back my tears."Do you think because you are wealthy, you could walk on anyone wh
Chapter 20Charity POV"What happened to you?" Dr. Mason asked me as he plastered my hand with a bandaid."Nothing," I replied to him."Nothing? How did you sustain the injuries and all the bruises?" He asked again, and I sighed briefly as I stood up and adjusted my cloth."I told you nothing. I'm fine," I replied to him again and headed to the door to go meet Chase outside since he was still waiting for me."Denver's High... Are the students bullying you?" I stopped on my track and slowly clenched my fingers beside me, my heart wrenched painfully."You should report to the police if they are. Maybe the police will be able to help you," He further said, but I bit my bottom lip, trying hard to fight back the tears that threatened to leave my eyes. I could do anything, but reporting to the police is a mistake I would never want to make, trust me. Maybe I would be ready to leave the school if I have the guts to tell the cops about it, because I know the cops would never do anything to th
