HANNAH’S POV

It had been seven days since my talk with my brother. I wished I could say his advice had helped me. I’d assumed a little pep talk would give me the courage to stand up for myself more often. Or to hold my ground.

So when my friends suggested going to a party, I thought I’d have the guts to say no. Why wouldn’t I? Parties were never my thing. I got anxious just being in class, let alone a room full of strangers. Could you imagine? Loud music, the smell of liquor, and the blinding l

    HANNAH’S POVI couldn’t believe I had just come face to face with the person who’d been sending me those threatening messages, and I hadn’t been able to do anything. I’d just stood there like a stone. Then I saw Zach coming my way from the corner of my eye, and the moment the girl bumped her shoulder against mine to go and meet him, I ran as if my life depended on it.I passed my friends on the dance floor, dancing their hearts out. At some point, I even spotted Serena with Adrian, and she was smiling. I didn’t want to go over there and ruin their moment, so I left the party. Luckily, I was the one with the key, and I had my phone with me, so I texted Maya to say I was going back to the dorms.On my way back, there were still a lot of people outside, and I tried to hide by covering my face with my phone. My makeup was already smudged from crying. The funny thing was, I didn’t even know why I was crying. Was it because of the girl, or because I’d seen Zach hugging her? I think I was t

  • The Bully's Redemption    Chapter 39: For Us

    HANNAH’S POVThe party took place at the school hall—the same hall where we were lectured on school guidelines. But under the red lights and with the blaring music, it looked unrecognisable. The bass shook the room, and I could feel the vibrations beneath my feet. My black heels certainly weren’t helping. The hall smelled like strong liquor and another scent I wasn’t familiar with.“Maybe we should go?” I had to raise my voice so my friends could hear me even though they were right beside me.Serena took my arm in hers and shook her head. “But we just got here,” she giggled, looking around the dance floor before making her way to the middle.“Come on, guys,” she called, stretching out her hands towards us to invite us to join her. Maya did so without a second thought, smiling as she moved her hips to the beat of the music. But if you watched her closely enough, you’d notice her glancing at a corner of the room as if looking for someone.“She seems…different, doesn’t she? Why do I feel

No, no, no. It wasn’t my cup of tea.“But everyone’s going,” Serena argued as she examined the two dresses she was holding in her hands. She eyed the ruby red one draped over her left arm with interest, but still appeared indecisive.Tiffany let out a soft scoff. “Since when is that a good reason to do anything?” she asked aloud, even though she was attending the party as well. She tied her hair in a messy bun, allowing a few strands to fall over her pretty face like vines. It was normal

  • The Bully's Redemption    Chapter 37: Pushed Out

    HANNAH’S POVPeople used to say that the only thing wrong with my brother was me. Back when I was in middle school, he was one of the most popular students in his grade. He was the type who came out of exam halls with straight A’s without trying too hard.Jordan played sports, had girlfriends and, more importantly, was one of the most charming people you would ever meet. It was a gift, really. So was his ability to win the favour of some of the strictest and most soulless teachers in our school.I was the opposite. I stuck my nose in books because, unlike some people, I couldn’t memorise words on a board from a single glance. To this day, I’m not sure if I love my brother more than I respect him, because the pedestal I’ve put him on is as tall as a skyscraper.After all, he was the reason I chose this course. And if there was anyone who could help me navigate times as dark as these, it was Jordan.“Who the hell do those people think they are?” he yelled through the phone speaker. He s

  • The Bully's Redemption    Chapter 36 :Stay Away From Her

    Hannah's POV "I can't believe you actually went," Tiffany cried on the other end of the line. I had to hold the phone away from my ear while she spoke. Otherwise I'd need a new set of eardrums. She and Maya had gotten on the phone with me the moment I texted them that I'd come back from the hospital. Maya knew I'd go through with the visit like I said I would. Tiffany had hoped I wouldn't. "You should be smarter than that, Hannah," she pressed. I could almost see her groaning in disappointment, grabbing fistfuls of her hair the way she did when we'd watch movies and the main girl did something stupid. Like pay a friendly hospital visit to the boy who'd made her life miserable. "What's done is done," I said, heading back to the hostel despite the stares I was getting along the way. A sick feeling hit me and I thought I was going to throw up right then and there. I felt like a bug underneath a microscope, patiently dreading the scientist that would poke and prod me before rippi

  • The Bully's Redemption    Chapter 35 :The Kind of Pain You Don't Expect

    Hannah's POVI don't like the sound of sirens. When ambulances scream past with colours of red flashing like a blur, it brings a wave of sickness to me. But when this ambulance arrived, I didn't even hear it. It was one of the things my mind tuned out. Because all I could see was the blood dripping down Zachary's temples as he was carried out on a stretcher. All I could hear was him groaning in pain. He had mud and grass in his wounds, in his hair, on his face. My heart sank and I couldn't seem to swallow the nausea ready to overwhelm me.His friends raced to his side like loyal soldiers. And when the responders hauled him into the back of the ambulance, their faces were pale and fallen. Why wouldn't they be? I don't think anyone was expecting the match to turn out this way. I wasn't.But did Tiffany?My eyes slowly moved to her and my heart pounded like a drum. Her expression was too unreadable. Blank. Almost as if she'd been expecting something like this to happen. No. It's not poss
