Chapter One

Lydia's POV

I stood quietly in front of my locker trying to recall where I had kept my English language textbook when suddenly I heard a loud thud on my locker door. I was frightened but yes, I was also used to it.

“Nerdy bitch” Chloe said to me rolling her eyes and walking away like she didn’t just almost give me a heart attack. I simply ignored and picked out the textbook that was hiding behind my Romance novel.

Oh how I loved the sweet impossible imagination of having a lover. I picked it up, and headed for class.

Mr. Derek’s class was one of my favorites. Aside from the fact that I loved his style of teaching, I loved staring at his amazing physique. I sometimes catch myself dreaming of my petite self wrapped up in his arms.

Who wouldn’t? His broad shoulders,his rock hard chest, I could tell even without touching, his chiseled beard and earth swirling scent I wish I had. 

Everything about him reminded me of my favorite male lead character from my all time Romance book “Make Me Yours Tonight”

“About your test, some of you did well while others not so well” Mr. Derek said distributing our scripts.

“Good job Lydia.” He said to me while dropping my script. I was so surprised to find out I had an A. English was the only subject I had struggled to get an A for weeks now. I always got either a B or C .

The smile on my face was second to none. I was still staring at my script when Mr. Derek announced that he was giving us a break for thirty mins. He walked out of the class leaving those who were rejoicing, rejoicing and those who were mad, mad.

I tucked my script into my bag and headed for the bathroom. I had barely gotten in when suddenly I felt a pain in my hair.

“You did it again bitch.” Emily said to me with gritted teeth. Emily Spencer. My greatest enemy in school.

“I bet she slept her way to an A.” Chloe added.

“Let go of my hair.” I said to them struggling to free myself with my hand.

“Or what?” Danilella asked me,pulling my hand away from my head giving me no support system.

Emily, Alexa and Chloe were best of friends, although I never believed they liked each other. Alexa and Chloe were only with Emily because of her money and fame in school but that was the least of my problems. How on earth did I get myself in this situation?

“You are hurting me, let go of my hair.” I pleaded.

“Fine.” Emily signaled Alexa to let me go while she also freed my hair.

“Now you are free, what are you gonna do?”

“Hit me? Have sex with Derek again to get me expelled?” Emily scoffed.

“You can tell me, it’s just me and you here Lydia.” She continued.

“How was the sex? How hard did you sleep with him to get you an A?” I couldn’t believe the disgusting thoughts Emily had. She thought I slept with Mr. Derek to get an A while I was battling to stay awake all through the night?

“I don’t know what you are talking about.” I said to them, taking a few steps away from them in an attempt to leave. Chloe grabbed my arm and pulled me back.

“Don’t you dare make the mistake of walking away from me.”

“The problem with middle class girls is that they can do anything to get what they want including selling their body for money or grades.” Emily said to me, taking a step closer.

“Enough! Don’t you dare utter another word against me.” I yelled, pointing an accusing finger towards her. For the first time in years, I gathered enough courage to speak up.

“I have had enough of your words and insults.”

“Who the hell do you think you are? Huh?” Just like I was surprised by my words, I saw the same surprise written on Emily’s face.

“Oh! the nerves. Did Derek also teach you how to talk back? Huh?” Emily grabbed my jaw and let go of it forcefully.

“Where did he touch you?” Here? She touched my neck. Here? She grabbed my breast. While Chloe and Alexa smiled, enjoying the drama.

“Stop it!” I ordered. I was getting infuriated.

Why should I? Bet your mother didn’t stop you when you took the bold step of having sex.

The next minute, my hand was on Emily’s face and I gave her a resounding slap that left me stunned.

“What did I just do ?” I thought to myself

“I….I’m … I stuttered trying to tender an apology but I couldn’t.

Emily held onto her face in shock while her puppets rushed towards her to console her. I was about to escape the situation when Emily jerked me back, gave me a resounding slap that pushed me to the ground.

How dare you raise your filthy hands to me? She questioned.

“I will make you pay for every hurt I felt.” While she was talking, Alexa rushed into the bathroom, ran back out with a bucket of water and handed it over to Emily.

“Fuck you, slut.” she threw the water at me aggressively.

I couldn’t say a word. I felt humiliated. I should have never spoken up for myself.

While I was trying to gain control of myself, Chloe brought out her phone and made a video of me drenched.

“Emily I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to…..” I tried to plead but none of them were ready to listen to me.

“Now watch me expose your dirty lineage to the whole school.”

“You had the guts to raise your hands to Emily Spencer, we will make you pay.”

“Have sex while you can, cause when I’m done posting this video of yours, no one will ever look at you the same.” Chloe and Alexa threatened.

The trio walked away from me.
