All Chapters of I Kissed My Bully: Chapter 21 - Chapter 28

XAVIER "I told you Rain has a sugar daddy." Derrick says.I almost break my neck with how fast I look up from my phone. Rain is walking with her friend Eva who looks like anyone who tries to come near them is in danger. Rain is wearing the new uniform. Thank God for that. I was worried that she wouldn't take it because of her pride and that we won't be able to see her for a long time until she replaces hers.She doesn't look around. She keeps her head down and enter her next class. How am I supposed to apologize for what happened to her if she keeps shutting me out. What did she expect me to do? Get in the middle of whatever is going on between them? No way. I told her from that start that I won't do that, I still haven't changed my mind."It's probably Eva that helped her get the uniform." Camden says.I keep my mouth shut. I want to stay away from this conversation."Nah, Eva's dad is real stingy with money. He won't cough up the money to buy a nobody new uniforms." Derrick says an

RAINEva is standing in front of me waving her hands but I can't hear her. Buck and Chad are at the car and there accessing it. This doesn't feel real. It's like an out of body experience. Eva starts shaking me and I come back to reality."No!" I scream and fall to the ground.I think back to all the night shifts and double shifts and jumping from one job to another just to be able to afford this car and those evil people ruined it in one afternoon. I wipe my tears and stand up. Eva is still talking but I can't hear her. She holds me and I break away from her grip. I turn and walk away. I walk to where they usually park and their spots are empty. They left. If they think this will be end silently like with my clothes then they're mistaking. I walk into the administrative building and go straight to the principals office. Eva is yelling for me to calm down and think things through but I don't hear her.I walk past the secretary and push the door open. The principal is startled at my e

XAVIER I walk out of the principals office and head straight for the coaches office. Today is practice, we just didn't go. Those two didn't go because they were too tired from being vandals and I didn't go because since Rain told me to leave her life, I've found it impossible to find interest in anything.Coaches sees me approaching and frowns. "Is this the time you're coming for practice?" "I'm not here for practice coach, I want Derrick off the team.""What? Why? He's really good.""You don't want to say no to me right now, coach."He wants to say one more thing but he shuts his mouth and nods."Text him right now and tell him he's off the team. No reason, no explanation, just off the team."I walk away without waiting for a reply. That's the thing with adults who sell their conscience for money. They'll do anything to keep the money coming. Coach and the principal both know that even though my father wants to know everything I'm doing, he'll cut them down if he feels that they d

XAVIER I've not been to school in a week and I have not spoken to my friends since the incident. It's too silent but I'm not going to reach out. We're all wrong, if this is the end of the friendship then I'm okay with it. Every morning I wake up and remember that Rain skipped town and her dad won't tell me where she is, my anger increases. I can find her if I really want to but what's the point? She hates me. Things between us will never be okay. I should accept that.I go downstairs and to the dinning room to see what's for breakfast. My father is already there and he's reading on his iPad.One big surprise in all this is that my father has left me alone. He came back on the third day and even though he knew I haven't been to school, he didn't ask me anything about it, didn't even mention it."Good morning." I greet.He nods and keeps reading his paper. I load my plate with food and sit down to eat. He calmly puts his iPad on the table and turns to me."Took you a week, I had my mo
