All Chapters of Shy: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

"She's shy," Brooklyn said with a shrug. She glanced at Indianna, who looked like she wanted to be anywhere but in the classroom with them."Well, come on. I don't bite," Greyson urged, and Indianna stiffened, just like before."Don't talk about that," Indianna said. Her voice was still quiet, but it was firm."Struck a nerve, have I?" Greyson asked, raising an eyebrow and smirking. "Somebody likes it rough."Indianna Hughs had always been the quiet one; the shy one. She always stayed in the background. She blended in and never got noticed. She liked it that way. When she was forced to move schools, she was not happy. Everyone noticed a new kid, and she didn't want that attention. Especially not from Mr. Bad Boy, who seemed to be very interested in her."You'll be fine," Indianna's mother said and waved her hand dismissively at her daughter.Indianna looked out of the car window and raised her dark eyebrows at the large red-brick building in front of them."Just be social and make frie

Greyson looked at Indianna with a scrutinising gaze, and she squirmed uncomfortably. Indianna hated people staring at her.She had always lacked confidence and struggled to see the beauty she was lucky enough to have been born with. She was naturally pretty, with big green eyes, olive skin, high cheekbones, a button nose and long brown hair. She hid behind large glasses and clothing that was on the baggier side.Pretty was a word she had never used to describe herself."Indianna?" he said and frowned, thinking to himself. "Hughs," he murmured.Greyson had spoken quietly, and Indianna wasn't sure if she had heard him correctly."What?" she asked, staring at him cautiously.Greyson smirked. "So, she speaks.""What did you say just then?" Indianna asked shyly. She avoided eye contact."It was nice to meet you, Indianna," Greyson said slowly, dragging out her name.He pushed himself away from the cupboard and made his way back over to his seat with Kal and Ace. Indianna watched with furrow

"Don't move," Greyson said sternly."You can't tell me what to do!" Indianna snapped.Indianna was quiet and reserved. She had a temper, but it was buried very deep down. Greyson seemed to have no trouble digging it up. As Indianna's temper grew, her shyness faded away."Get away from me!"Greyson's jaw clenched, and he grabbed Indianna's arm, holding her in place."I said," he whispered in her ear, his voice resembling something very close to a growl.Shivers ran down Indianna's spine."Don't move. Now sit the hell down and do as I say."At this moment, Indianna was scared of Greyson. However, her anger easily overpowered her fear and shyness. She thought she had met boys like Greyson before, but she was wrong. She had never encountered anything like this before."Who the hell do you think you are?" Indianna demanded. "My father? You can't order me about. You're freaking crazy! Now get the hell out of my way, or I will scream."Suddenly, the cold look on Greyson's face was gone, repla

"How was school?"Indianna's mother, Iris, was by the door when Indianna arrived home after school. She was smiling kindly, but Indianna didn't smile back.Indianna had a difficult relationship with her mother, and she was quickly growing tired of it. Iris had been a wonderful mother when Indianna was younger. She had adored her and done everything she could for her.That was until Indianna's father died.From then on, Iris had retreated into herself and didn't show Indianna the love or affection she once had. She still cared about her daughter, but Indianna often felt unwanted.She didn't think her mother cared anymore, so on the few days when Iris seemed to perk up and take an interest in Indianna's life, Indianna knew it wouldn't last. She knew that her mother would lose interest the next day or the day after, and Iris would go back to walking around the house, lost in her own mind and not talking to Indianna about anything personal.The only conversations they had remained basic an

"I'm sorry you had to see that," Greyson said seriously. "Josh is a sick bastard. He won't bother you anymore.""O-okay," Indianna stuttered.She wasn't sure how to view Greyson after what she had just witnessed."You can stop looking at me like I'm going to hurt you," Greyson said, raising his eyebrows at Indianna.Luckily, Kal and Harry approached them before Indianna had the chance to say anything."Dude!" Kal exclaimed, grinning at Greyson. "We heard what happened!""What exactly did happen?" Brooklyn asked, looking around the group as Harry stood next to her and wrapped his arm around her shoulder."Josh was being inappropriate and manhandling Indianna," Ace explained.Brooklyn's eyes widened. "God, he never learns! He's such a creep! Are you okay, Indianna?"All eyes went to Indianna, and she groaned internally."I'm fine, thank you. I think I'm going to go.""Indie, are you really all right?" Greyson asked, looking Indianna up and down, but not in a sexualising way. "You really
