Anna's pov Words were easier said than done. Even though I made my resolution that I will get over this, my resolve quickly melted away when I had to go to school the next day. Mom was supportive and told me it was best. I went to school so Caleb won't think that I was so hung up on him that an ordinary rejection would make me skip school. I was apprehensive but I went to school early as usual. I didn't cry anymore after mom talked to me yesterday, I fell asleep in her embrace and was only woken up when mom called me to eat dinner last night. I was careful to look out for Caleb so I won't run into him but I was more careful about the new guy. I didn't want to come across him and felt like I was trying to avoid Vincent all over again. The only difference was that Vincent was finer. I would say that the rest of the day was uneventful since I tried my best to stay out and haven't gone to the secret hideout since my last encounter with Caleb.
Vincent's pov Anna asking me to give her my sweater was surprising to me. Even though I didn't want to at first since I needed it, I still tossed it at her because I knew she would never ask for my help if it wasn't something that was important. I wonder why Caleb wasn't sticking to her like glue today. It seemed as if he was her shadow because I saw him.with her practically everywhere. She thanked me as I continued walking back to class then I saw him,the new guy in my school calming to be tough and strong, bullying everyone and trying to see what I would do. Honestly I don't care what he does. I got sick of bullying. Yes I didn't think there would be a day I would say it but yeah I don't think I feel like bullying anyone anymore. That is unless it cannot be avoided because some people are just plain stupid and ask for it. I just gave up on bullying after what happened with Anna,that hit deeper than I thought. I shrugged it off as I continued to walk down the hallwa
Anna's pov Mom looked at me sadly but remained silent and her silence was killing me slowly. Sarah's mom didn't even pay attention to me or my question. I don't even think that she realized I was there because she continued crying as mom rubbed her back gently. "Mom, is everything alright? Where is Sarah ?" I asked and mom sighed. "Sarah is fine Anna, you should go to your room." Mom told me. I was not convinced because she was acting weird so I stayed rooted to the spot. "But where is she mom?" I asked not wanting to leave until I got the answer I needed. "Anna, just go to your room." Mom sighed. I was about to speak again when I heard footsteps down the stairs,I glanced over to the stairs and I saw Sarah coming down the stairs. Oh goodness she scared me! Mom scared me as well,why was she delaying to answer my questions? I sighed in relief as I ran to her and embraced her tightly. I was fearing the worst but now that I saw her I was relieved. "Oh Sarah I missed you
Anna's povSarah's voice sounded hoarse from crying and judging from my wet pillow case I think she had been crying in my room as well.I felt so bad I didn't know what to do at this point. She always stayed with me when I got bullied but I just couldn't do anything to help her. Now I could only sit and listen to her."Even if they don't tell me ,I know what's wrong. I just hope they get through it . I don't want to lose my family over this." Sarah said sadly.I felt sorry for her as I consoled her. I just hope that her family gets over this because I actually thought that yesterday something bad happened to her.We started talking about schools and I remembered about the new bully in school. I asked Sarah if she knew his name."He's called Tom,he transferred from another school." She told me.Trust Sarah to know the latest happening in school.Tom was going to be a problem for me if I did nothing about it. Right now I don't want any trouble or problems. I don't know why he transfe
Anna's pov As we walked to the hallway I was feeling very nervous as I played with my fingers while walking beside Vincent. Did I even think this through? I stole a glance at him and his face was emotionless but something told me he was in thoughts because he wasn't paying any attention to the stares I was getting,this was the calmest I had seen him. He ignored my existence beside him,I felt out of place. Now that I was this close to him I feel like calling myself a short person because he was towering over me. I wonder why bullies are always tall? We walked to the back of the school before he stopped and turned to me. "What did you need to talk to you about?" He said as he folded his arm. I just realized now that he was wearing a sweater before I gave him his own,did he have two of them? " Well...um.. what I wanted to talk to you about is something important." I began avoiding eye contact with him. I was staring at the wall,his intense gaze was making me afraid that maybe w
Anna's pov Vincent eyed me suspiciously. "Which is?Anything you want but I hope it's not something embarrassing that you want me to do?" He asked cautiously. "No,it's nothing like that,I just need you to know that it involves Caleb, nothing else." I replied. "Caleb?" He asked and I nodded. " I think I get where this is going,it's something i do best right?" He asked and I nodded . "Would it cause any problems for you?" I asked him and he chuckled. "I am a train of problems Anna, a few more won't do anything to me." He replied. "Are you worried about me?" He asked. "Ain't you sick?" I asked. "I am,what you thought I didn't get sick?". He asked in amusement. "Strangely I did." I replied and he laughed. "Anything you want is what I would do , don't worry about me, I am getting better already ." He smiled at me. Strangely this is the first time that I've seen things and smiled this happily. Am I doing the right thing? Vincent refused to let me go. He held onto me and heck I
Anna's pov Nowadays I look forward to going to school because I know that no one would try to bully me because I was with Vincent now. How the news, about me and Vincent dating was all over the school the next day even though we had just been dating for a day was still a mystery. I suddenly became popular in just a day. I was the talk of the school. Nerd dates her bully. That sounds weird but it's fine. Though I didn't see any post about it I was sure someone would put it up or maybe Vincent had already told them not to do anything that silly. When I got into class, girls from my class that I haven't even met before gathered around my desk. They came bearing gifts and numerous questions that I didn't even know where to begin answering. Receiving such attention was overwhelming but as always Sarah I came to the rescue. "Let her breathe already, would you?" Sarah told them off. "This doesn't concern you Sarah, what are you jealous of because you ain't dating Vincent?" One of
Anna's povSchool wasn't eventful the next day,as I said before it would only take a few days and everything would be back to normal except the stares they never go away.Since Vincent wasn't in school today I decided against going to his group of friends to have lunch because I didn't see Jack there and I didn't know anyone else there so sat with Sarah.I was happy as to how Sarah was finally talking like normal and not looking all glumly.Her father still hasn't returned home and she stayed with me In my room most times before returning home but I could tell there was progress because she talked to her father on the phone while I was either and he reassured her he would come home soon but didn't say when. I think he was waiting for Sarah's mom to tell him to come home.We were chitchatting when two guys sat with us.I knew Tom but I didn't know the other guy.Tom sat beside me while the other guy sat beside Sarah."What do you want?" Sarah asked but Tom's attention was solely on me
