CHAPTER 13

❤️AFTER SCHOOL ❤️

LOCATION:- BACKSIDE OF THE SCHOOL ❤️

           ❤️ Edward' POV❤️

I'm sitting on a bench waiting for Jennifer at the backside of our school. It's the place where we three, me, Jacob, and Jennifer hangout together usually when we don't have any classes. I waited for her for ten minutes and then I see her coming towards me.

       "Hey, Eddie. What are you doing ?" she is walking like a zombie, probably she's so tired after what happened in the school. " Why are you waiting for me?" she asks standing in front of me. 

    "I was worried as I can't control you." I stand up and reply.

"Worry about me? huh, liar," she said with some mocking.

"You don't know how this Oppa feels." I rub her head to tease her. she always gets mad whenever I mess her hair.

"Oppa? huh, my butt." she hit on my hand and smirked.

"Jennifer. If you have troubles, you must tell this Oppa." I hold her hands into mine and tell her sincerely, she looks at me and chuckle nervously, and said," I'm fine, don't worry, why are you so serious?" 

I bite on my lower lip and sigh," Right. I can't sleep these days." I look at her and she's looking at me with a blank face trying to understand my nonsense. I grab her hand to pull her towards me and place her hand on my heart. By my sudden action her eyes become round in shape like a marble ball, she's looking so cute.

"Look. My heart races." her eyes meet mine for some seconds, her face turns into a red ball. She hurriedly pulled back her hand and yell, " Hey. You!, You Drank So Ju! Right?" (Soju is a clear, low-alcohol, distilled spirit that is the most popular liquor in Korea) 

    " Huh?" I asked her confusedly as I couldn't understand why she thinks that I've drunk So Ju. 

"I told you not to drink, didn't I ?" she pointed her finger at me and raised her voice, and starts beating me. I jerked back by her hitting her with small hands. "Such a small kid drinks soju? huh?" she said and circles her one arm around my arm and started squeezing it while cursing me and hitting me with her another hand on my head, I must say although she just looks tiny she's so strong, even I'm feeling suffocating by the tight grip of her arm around my neck. I tap on her arm in surrender. 

"Okay, Okay. I surrender." 

"Surrender?" she asks still not letting go of my neck.

"Surrender!" I answered firmly and finally, she let go of me. I coughed dramatically," Yeah...I could have died." she looks at me disdainfully and rolls her eyes.

     "So how was Eric? is he alright, he didn't bully you, right?" I ask her while on our way home because I was worried about her for the whole day and I knew the personality of Eric, he's a self-centered bastard since kindergarten. 

      "No, he didn't bully me, why would he bully me?" she shakes her head. I'm happy to know that he didn't bully her or else I would've made him pay for it, but I'm still confused about it because it's totally impossible with Eric's personality that he wouldn't bully her. 

    "I'm happy that he didn't bully you but still Jennifer, you need to be careful around him. Okay." I told her to be careful because I know he will give her some problems for sure and she needs to be careful. 

     "There's nothing to worry about, I've already settled all the problems with him." we reached the apartment and she opened the door and walks inside towards her room. I rushed to stop her in the midway of her room. "Wait wait how did you settle the problem with him," I ask her doubtfully.

     "You'll know tomorrow morning. Now let me go. I need to do my work and you too go inside your room." She tapped on my shoulder and walks into her room with a smiling face. I sigh and walk into my room hoping she won't get into any trouble.

           ❤️NEXT MORNING ❤️

We both get ready and get out of the apartment to take the bus to the school. As soon as we reached Jennifer started walking towards the baseball ground. 

"Yaa... idiot that's not the way to our classroom, where are you going?" I shouted from behind.

"I'll be back after some time, you go first, didn't I told you I've solved my problem with Eric!" she shouted back while heading towards the ground. I was wondering how did she solved it so I started following her, when I reach the playground I saw Eric's team practicing on the ground and he was ordering someone, " Hurry up. Why are you standing there?" I look the direction where he's looking to check who is he ordering and I saw "Jennifer", carrying two heavy bags for Eric. So this is how she solved it, is she crazy or what? can't she see he's clearly bulling her? 

       I was standing there, noticing her every moment, she's helping Eric and he's ordering her around to doing so many things. He ordered her to carry a huge bag filled with baseball, and she's having a struggle holding it. I clenched my jaw in anger how can he just order her around even knowing that it wasn't her fault that he got injured. 

     She lifted up the huge bag but because of the weight she was about to fall down with the heavy bag, I ran towards her and hold her waist before she could fall. Some ball falls out of the bag on the ground. I picked it up and snatched the bag from her. 

"Yaa, do you have to do this?" 

"Well, it makes me feel less guilty. I promised him I would do this," she said innocently and tried to take back the bag from me but I turned around. 

    She stopped and her eyes fell on Namjoon who was surrounded by a bunch of girls. I darted my eyes in the direction where she was looking and saw those girls offering him gifts and water bottles, some were holding towels to wipe his sweat. I smirked and look away, I knew this an attention seeker and now he wants Jennifer's attention. 

   "I didn't know he's that much popular among all the girls. " She said while looking at him.

"That's what I'm saying Jennifer, stay away from him, he's not a good guy, okay," I warned her before he could harm her. And if he dares to do that then I swear I'm gonna make his life like hell.
