DianaThe hot breath of the idiot fanning my face, plus his thick arm pinning me to the wall in the tight space, made me want to pass out. I tried to wiggle free, but he tightened his hold on me and pressed his huge body into mine, hitting my head against the wall. He shifted his hand to allow me to breathe through my nose but kept it hard on my mouth. To avoid losing control and fainting, I calmed myself down and began to breathe in and out.“You must be wondering why you're here.” His tone was very aggressive and intimidating, and so was his sneer. I glanced to the side and saw there were some brooms and mops, but my hand couldn't reach any, still, I tried feeling around for anything I could use as a weapon that wasn't in my line of sight. Was he planning to rape me in broad daylight?“I know you and your aunt never approved of me dating Flavia, that's why I suspect you both are the reason she decided to break up with me.” He pressed harder into my body, running his free hand over m

DianaI couldn't find Jane after school so I hitched a ride with Martin because I wanted him to drop me off at our town's only car repair shop. My heart felt relieved that I had my friend back even though our separation was only for some hours. Luckily, the awkward situation with our history teacher was easily resolved by us rushing into the class to the snickering of the other students. On our way home, Martin kept talking about this regional math competition his team were planning to enter. He was so excited that I kept begging him to keep his eyes on the road, even though our little town was accident-free because the roads were not busy. My brain knew this fact, but the trauma I was suffering from refused to completely settle whenever I was in a car. It took me two years, after the accident, to enter a car and not flinch or panic, another year to get my car, and one more to be comfortable with the speedometer passing the seventy mark. Yeah, I had a car of my own. It just happened

DianaMy school life hasn't been the same these past two days. Vance was serious about making my life a living hell. There was nothing he hadn't already done and I was just on day two. He was making it clear by every means possible that he meant business. It's either I got Flavia back to him or I got ready to live in hell. I had to force Jane, who also looked like she was going through her hell, to not do anything. I made her promise not to say anything to Martin because I knew he would try his best to defend me. I didn't want him getting into a fight now that he was busy trying to get ready for his maths competition. Besides, I was worried about Jane. The dark circles under her eyes and her face looking pale and deathly had me wondering what was wrong, but she refused to confide in Martin and me. That was why I didn't give her details of what that bully was making me go through.Vance and his brainless soliders cornered me on my way to my English class, caging me in as Vance said all

JaneMy head felt heavy and I groaned, placing a hand lightly on my head. Diana was calling my name repeatedly, her concern for me bleeding into her voice. I tried to open my eyes immediately, but the lights were too bright, so I was forced to pry them open slowly. When I did, the view remained the same. The ever-familiar pitch-black hair and ocean blue eyes, double chin and goatee had my eyes narrowing. He was looking back at me and I saw concern and surprise in his features. I didn't get to look at him more because Penelope and Diana filled my vision. I sat up slowly with their help.“Are you okay?” They chorused. I took a quick look around and found the rest of the students murmuring as they watched me. I didn't see any flashlights that would indicate people were recording, but I did see plenty of bored stares and sharp glares. They probably didn't because the principal would have punished whoever did with a week in detention. The man named Flynn was by my side, one of his hands

DianaI knew something was wrong with Jane, her behaviour after gym class confirmed what I already knew. Martin hadn't been around because he and some members of his club had gone for the first phase of their competition. If not, he would have been there to witness what happened to Jane. I dropped a message for him on WhatsApp, telling him a bit about what happened. Immediately after the class finished, she rushed out of the hall like she was being chased. I was not the only one who noticed her weird behaviour as the rest got busy talking about her. Penelope responded like the good friend she was by glaring at the offending gossips. “I need to check what is wrong with her.” She said as she began to walk towards the direction Jane went. I wrapped a hand around her arm, pulling her along with me. She looked down at my hand around her arm because that was the first time I have touched her. “I don't think now is the time to chase after her. Jane closes up when you demand answers she isn
