Chapter 3
- He has something in his hands which I couldn't see as he's hiding it behind.
- "Yes?" I asked, He looked at me and gave me the box which he was holding, it was decorated beautifully.
- "It's for you ma'am," he said and turned around and began walking towards his car.
- "Hey mister, wait"I shouted, but he just ignored me and drove off. I took the box inside and unwrapped it.
- Inside that beautifully decorated box, there was a book. I lifted it in my hands and noticed that It was a novel. I love novels, I read them a lot, But I didn't understand who sent me this? There was no name on the box either.
- I flipped the box and saw a piece of paper with a quote stick to it.
- "And in her smile, I saw something more beautiful than the Stars"
- L.F
- It was written beautifully.
- Who's this l.f I tried to remember, but I don't know anyone with that name. I shrugged and opened the book.
- "One day by David Nicholls''
- "Should I read it now?...No, I'll just read it tomorrow?" I thought. If I start it now, I will not sleep tonight.
- I'll just read it tomorrow after school, it's best or else I'll never get up from my bed. I walked to my table and put that book on it. After that, I walked back to my bed and climbed up on it to sleep. I closed my eyes too but I couldn't, You know why? Yeah! That man ahh! god now that Greek god is disturbing my sleep too.
- With great difficulty, I slept.
- *******
- Tik*tik*tik*tik*tik
- My alarm started Ringing, "Ah god, fuck my life agh!!"
- Groaning, I got up from my bed, went to the washroom, and did my morning duties. Then it's time to dress up. I took off my off-shoulder yellow crop top, wore it with my ripped jeans, Did my hair, and put on some lip gloss. Yeah, that's my makeup, only lip gloss. I don't know why I don't like to do any kind of makeup.
- After getting ready, I walked downstairs to the kitchen, prepared my breakfast, and ate it. Taking my school bag with me I rushed to my car.
- I reached school, parked my car, and walked into my school.
- "Hey, Ven wait" I turned around and saw Beth appearing from the parking lot.
- Beth John is my best friend from 6th class, she is an elegant girl behind those big glasses. blonde, tall, skinny. We both are complete opposites.
- I'm short, maybe 5.3, jet black shoulder-length hair, big brown eyes. Our tastes are also different.
- "Hey, slow down beth," I said,
- She took a deep breath and smiled at me. We started walking towards my locker, talking to each other.
- "Hey look, who's here V, Vanessa, The fat bitch"
- Oh, fuck! That's Casse Armond, Queen bitch of our school, she's rich, her father and mother both are doctors, she is the heiress to most leading hospitals in Los Angeles. She is a disgusting pig not in looks but in behavior.
- She's like 5.8 tall, long legs, slim body and with lots of, no, scratch that, with tons of make-up on her face.
- Right now, she is dating our football captain of the school, Remond Gray, he is super hot with a boyish smile, he has 3 more friends. They are like a gang always together, all of them are super hot and every girl in my school drools over them.
- "Did you have your breakfast, fatso?" Casey asked, rubbing my flat stomach. Her behavior always irritates me.
- "Ha! look at her Casee, what a chubby little girl," Alessa said touching my cheek.
- That's Alessa black,
- She is bitch number two, both are big fat bitchs of the school, they bully everyone.
- "Aww what happened to my shorty, cat got your mouth?" Casey said, touching my cheek.
- I said nothing to them, I just ignored them and took my things from the locker, calming myself. Usually, I don't fight much, I learned to control myself and ignore people like them. Because people like me can't go against people like them. It's better to ignore them and live our life.
- Beth and I started strolling towards our class. She has a history class and I have math. So we went our separate ways.
- I opened my schedule to see what my last class was and Suddenly bumped into something hard. I was about to fall, but Two strong arms wrapped around my waist and held me still.
- Curiously I looked up and gasped when I recognized who he was. It's Remond gray.
- I quickly stood up and stepped back,
- "Sorry" I mumbled.
- He looked at me muttering something under his breath.
- "Where are those fucking eyes? can't you see where you are walking idiot!"
- I was fuming right now, I was already pissed because of his girlfriend back there, glaring at him I said,
- "You should fucking see where you're going too, stupid!" With that, I turned and began walking towards my class but he grabbed my arm and shoved me to the wall,
- "What did you just say?" he said, glaring at me. My back hit hard against the wall.
- "Are you deaf? can't you hear?" I said in a shaky voice, glaring at him.
- literally, he was just an inch far from my face, if I moved a little our lips would touch. He was that close, gritting his teeth he said,
- "Don't you dare talk to me like that"
- I stumped on his feet and ran towards my class. I turned my head back to see him groaning while catching his feet.
- I took a deep breath and entered my class.
- ****
- By God's grace and mercy, I didn't see him again. Thank God for this.
- At lunch break me and Beth decided we would go to the cafeteria to eat something. we took the plate and sat down on a table
- While we were having our lunch, I felt someone glaring at me. I turned back to Remond Gray's intense eyes glaring at me.
- He was sitting with his friends in his usual place, his girlfriend was all over him, wanting his attention but he was busy glaring at me.
- I sighed and turned around.
- Later after lunch, I went back to class. Remond was also in the same class, we literally have 4 same classes.
- Hah!, what a lovely life I'm living.
- He was sitting across from my table. Jotting down something in his book.
- Miss Mekenza started the class and I was seriously listening to the class, then a paper was thrown at me.
- I looked at it and opened to see,
- "Meet me after school, today at the back of the school and... come alone" I looked up to see who threw it.
- Remond was looking at me, indicating that it was him who threw it.
- I was scared, what if he does something to me what will I do?
- No, don't go, what if he does something stupid? but I can't ignore him. He would do something or anything to have his way. God, What should I do?
- I took a deep breath,
- You're brave and nothing will happen to you. Just go there and see what he wants, that's it, I assured myself.
- After school, I went to the back of the school. He was waiting for me already. When did he come, how did he come so fast?
- "You're late," he said, glaring at me.
- I said nothing about it.
- "What do you want?"
- "direct to the point, I see" smirking he said, I want to slap that off
- "Guys" he called,
- I turned back and Casee threw ice cream on my face and all over my dress. I was shocked to react, they were laughing at me, high-fiving each other.
- "Oh darling Vanessa, Are you crying?...(laughing) Look, guys, she's crying," Remond said, laughing like a maniac.
- He grabbed my jaw firmly,
- "Next time if you talk to me like that I'll rip your head off" He spat out while gritting his teeth.
- He pushed me aside and went off with his friends.
- I hate you, Remond.
- Thank you ♥️
- Do follow me for more, guys, please.
