Bullied by my Stepbrother

LOST girl - new story - out soon!!!!!! Jenna felt her heart thudding in her chest as she stood by the door, her ear pressed up against the glossy wood. "Urrrrrrrrrgh!" she heard her stepbrother groan. It was long, drawn out and exasperated. He followed it up with a tut before continuing. "It's bad enough that she's here to start with. Now you're saying I have to be nice to her?" Those words felt like a stab to the chest. What had she done to upset him exactly? Besides merely existing... "I'm not... I'm just asking you to please look out for her," Harry urged. His tone was pleading but whiny as if he were losing patience with his son. "Cab you manage that? I'm not asking you to be her new best friend. Just... don't make this any harder for her. First days at a new school aren't easy, and she doesn't have anyone besides you. We have to look out for her until her Mum gets back from France." Kai let out a non-committal grunt before falling silent. Jenna didn't hear his footsteps app

The old-fashioned building made Jenna feel like a lost interloper in a cold and harsh land. Her heels clicked on the stone flooring as she followed her stepbrother, clinging to him like a liferaft. 'So much for not needing his charity,' she thought, feeling like the world's biggest fake. Her earlier resolve that she could survive on her own had vanished as quickly as her breath in the cold air. "The heating is being replaced," Kenny explained, seeing her shiver and hug herself. "You'd think the brainiacs running this place would do it in the summer but nooo.""This place is a joke," Kai chimed in. "They're lucky I haven't burnt this shithole to the ground.""You should," Jenna muttered. "At least it would be warm."As the group chuckled at her comment, she felt the tiniest bit of validation. Was it possible she might fit in with these guys?Looking up and down the corridor, she figured it was her only option. The other students that passed did not seem to like her stepbrother's gro

Kai was already pissed off when he walked into his English class. That little bitch.He saw her cowering in the corner, flashing him fearful glances. The terror in her eyes pleased him. She should be scared. He was going to make her sorely regret her actions.But not now.She'd managed to find the only person in this school who he wasn't prepared to mess with. Not after last time.Kai wasn't prepared to go into a fight he might not win. It was a waste of energy.He swanned in past the teacher and as usual, failed to hand in any homework."Homework, Kai?" she asked.Kai stopped and pursed his lips. He turned slowly. "You said I could have a break from homework on account of my nan dying, remember?"Mrs Connell sighed heavily and gave him a look that wasn't unfriendly, just... annoying.She was the only teacher he got on with, mainly because she was desperate to be mates with the students--even the bad ones. He figured she had been a friendless nerd in school and wanted to validate

Kai felt a surge of adrenaline as he made a B-line for his target. Poor Jacob. He was going to destroy that pretty-boy face of his.He was almost there, almost had his throat around that poor bastards neck, when he noticed Mr Burton was the teacher on duty today. There was always one teacher guarding the gates, and it was usually doddery old Miss Fisher on a Friday. It was just Kai's luck that the old coot was sick today.Mr Burton gave Kai one of his famous looks."Not today, Kiddo," he warned, cocking his head slightly to one side. No one else would dare refer to Kai as Kiddo. But Mr Burton wasn’t normal. Kai wouldn't mess with Burton any more than he would mess with Damien. Something about the look in that man's eyes just sent off alarm bells in his brain. Kai was willing to bet he'd killed before, either in the army or elsewhere.It could wait. He had all day. And if anything, dragging it out would only make it worse for Jenna. He'd have to listen to her annoying pleas, sure, but

Jenna wasn't sure how to tell Jade and the others.In art class, they surrounded her, faces smiling and friendly, and her heart sank in her chest. She wanted to cry."What's wrong?" Jade asked.When Jenna said nothing, letting her sad face do the talking, Jade nodded sadly and looked away. "Yeah, I thought this would happen," she said. "You know... you don't have to listen to Kai," Damien said."If I don't, he's going to take it out on Jacob," Jenna revealed. She was surprised when Damien shrugged."So let him," he said."I can't let a guy get beaten up because of me," she said. That was the truth. It wasn't because she couldn't get his face out of her mind or even because she was constantly having fantasies about being his girlfriend.'Nothing like that at all,' she lied to herself."You might regret that when you get to know what he's like," Damien warned. "But it's your life, Jenna."With that, they left her alone. Sighing heavily, Jenna looked around the room. Charlene was ther
