The Bully’s Obsession

It was time for physical exercise class, it seemed I was in luck today because I managed to escape bumping into him every single time…

I walked with Clarissa into the girls locker room to change into our sports attire , which consists of a simple T-shirt and plain pair of  trousers ..

“Do you think the rumors are true?”

Her voice broke into my trail of thoughts

“Pardon?”

“Its been all over the school that Hayley got pregnant….. and that’s the reason she quitted school ”

I wasn’t surprise, she was one of the popular girls who frequently hang out with the jocks……

“Can you imagine she pushed me the other day in the hallway , now look who isn’t going to graduate…” She snickered 

I made a roll of my eyes at the satisfied smile on her face

“Now I see, this is like some sort of personal revenge for you isn’t it?”

We finished changing and I noticed that the trouser seemed a bit tight, mainly about my butt and hips….

Did I put on weight? But I skipped so many meals last week , also doubled my daily exercise, why doesn’t any of these remedies work on me, for so long all I’ve ever wanted was to be skinny , but it seems that wasn’t meant to be in this life time……

My mood immediately turned sour….

“What’s wrong?” She asked probably surprised by my sudden quietness

My reply was cut short when I saw Brittany and her cronies making their way towards us….

I so much don’t need this right now…..

“Hey fatso  ” she Purposefully yelled out  making her cronies burst out in laughter

“You should go to gym class early, because you apparently need it more than any of us…. I mean……” she made a roll of her eyes, motioning at my body…..

“Learn how to mind your business bitch!” Clarissa spat

Brittany’s gaze zeroed on her before returning to me…

“And I wasn’t talking to you, I’m talking about the ugly pig over here”

I stopped Clarissa just in time from making another sharp reply, arguing with her won’t make any difference

“Let’s just go, we shouldn’t be bothered about them” 

*************************************

My gaze made contact with his momentarily as I made my way into gym class, his piercing gaze almost made me falter in my steps….

It made me suddenly self conscious and all I wanted now was to wrap my arms around myself….

To shield myself from him…NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

Coach Jersey placed us in group, it was the sports I hate most, I groaned inwardly

Dodgeball…….

Perhaps I should take a sick leave, but I’ve already done that too many times , he surely would have my head if I dared ask again……..

Thankfully Clarissa was on my team this time……

The sound of the whistle signalled the beginning of the match…..

Everything was going well before a hard shot landed on stomach , I fell to the hard floor , tears burning at the corners of my eyes……

I gritted my teeth at the sudden burst  pain.., It hurts so much…

“I’m really so sorry! You were too slow I guess” Brittany’s high pitch mocking tone came out…

The coach rushed towards me….

“Are you alright?”

I nodded slowly moving to a sitting position

“Are you sure? You should go to the nurse’s office to check”

Clarissa helped me to my feet, even as I walked out of the class I told myself not to look back at the pair of gazes boring hole at me…..

But I did and regretted instantly…..

His gaze was filled with so much disgust and hate ……. and anger? That had my insides trembling…..

I didn’t go to the clinic, I made my way to the bathroom instead, I pushed my shirt upwards and sure enough there was a red spot on my stomach , in a few hours I’m sure it was definitely going to turn bluish ….  

I stayed inside until I heard the period bell rung….

A sigh escaped my mouth , I decided to wait inside for a few more minutes….

When I finally came out the hallway was empty, we had a free period so I wasn’t bothered about rushing back to class….

I took my time slowly when I heard muffled voices emanating from the class room next to me……

I could make out one distinctively.

It was Hayden’s…..

Unwillingly my curiosity was piqued and i made my way to peek by the window side

“She’s fucking mine!” He hissed out menacingly to…..

Was that Brittany?

“But y.. you hate her right?” She stuttered , her eyes gleaming with fear…

Oh god ! It was definitely her…

As quick as a coiled snake he wounded his arms around her neck, slamming her back to the wall hard

I was paralyzed by the amount of rage that seems to radiate off his body…

“You’re hurting m… me” she cried out

“Am I?” He replied with a sadistic smile, seeming to add more pressure to her neck….

“You shouldn’t have hurt her! She was also in pain ” he snarled

I was fascinated, combined with a little bit of shock and fear at his words…

He was angry because I was hurt? But the pain in my stomach was nothing compared to what he’d inflicted on me all these years…..

“Its not your  god damned right to touch her! Not even a strand of her hair from her head, you fucking made a mistake!” 

My blood froze and my hair stood on its end , he was defending me?….

I should perhaps be relieved but a sudden wave of dread over wash me…

His voice dripped with raw psychotic possession….

His gaze was so hardened that I was suddenly scared that he might do something bad to her…..

After a moment he suddenly let’s her go and she fell unto the ground like a rag doll , her ashen face flashed with so much terror…… she almost looked like me in this instant

He unclenched his fists  inhaling  sucking sharp breaths as  if fighting for control

“Are my words clear to you?” He said so quietly and that only made his words sound even more dangerous….

She  nodded numbly 

“Use your fucking mouth , before I decide you don’t need it” He sliced out his eyes flashing with rage

“Y… yes….”

“Good ”

With that he stormed out slamming the door close behind him, he didn’t glance sideways or he would have caught sight of me…

I jolted out of the trance I had been caught in.

He’s dangerous….

Stay away from him…….

The words still rang vividly in my head…

Right this moment I knew he wasn’t just an average bully without a purpose…

There was something more to it….

Something I didn’t know…

I was just two steps to the classroom when a hand grasped tightly on my shoulders

I turned around and froze….

And boy he looked enraged

He gripped my hand in an iron fist and began storming off to god knows where…

All my struggles to break free was futile, he pushed me inside the janitors closet , then I heard the sound of him clicking it shut….

I was completely trapped….

“You were fucking there listening right?” He approached a step forward…

He was looking downright intimidating right now, I felt as if his gaze was piercing through my very soul , I unwillingly took a step back…..

But there was not much distance to run to….

Nowhere to hide….
