“Hey, stop”

“Say those words one after the other, I’m ready to listen to every one of them”

He said.

I was gobsmacked by his words.

Is he being serious?

“You mean it?, I’ll really tell you everything”I asked him again to be sure.

“Of course;I mean it. And when did I tell you that I won’t listen to everything you have to say”he chuckled.

My eyes beamed and I turned on the bed so as to face him properly.

“Perla, Cassie and Mia. Those are the girls that are bullying me. They made me do things I don’t want to do and I can’t even protest against it because I’m afraid of them”I started.

I watched his expression and it was full of anticipation.

“I kept this all in my mind until one day, when it got over flooded. I was on my way to the restroom when I bumped into you, that triggers my thoughts and then In a swoop, I found myself in front of Perla and I started ranting about her stepping on me and still couldn’t apologize”I expounded.

I breathe in and out and he handed me a bottled water.

I collected it from him, opened the lid and gulped it down.

After I’d drank to my fancied, I returned the bottle to him.

“*You bitch, you bitch, why did you step on me?*”Darrel imitate my voice and I laughed.

“Well, that was your words that day”he smiled out small dimples.

I was surprised he actually remember that.

“So…”I continued…

Darrel looked at me pathetically after I had explained everything to him.

I avoided his gaze and pick interest in biting my nails.

“You’ve gone through a lot, that’s pretty harsh, I don’t know why students like bullying one another in all schools”

“And why didn’t you report to the school authority?”

“I… was scared..”I played with the hem of my shirt.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

“you are just like a psycho”he stated and I slowly turned to glare at him.

“Oh c’mon, that is not an insult”he rolled his eyes.

Geez…

Whatever.

“And, if proper care is not taken, you might be like them, I mean like those psychos”he blurted out.

“Aish….. what the…. you weasel!”I cursed him angrily.

I breathe in rage as I stared at him.

“You’re just one stupid guy, I shouldn’t have tell you anything”I point my finger at him.

“Don’t point your finger at me”he frowned.

“What?, what are you gonna do?, hit me with a spoon just like you did the other time”I said angrily and he sighed.

“That’s one thing about you psycho again, you never want to listen”he said.

“Gosh, gosh, stop calling me a psycho when I’m not one”I used my finger to push his forehead.

“You’re also behaving like a psycho already if you don’t know”he snorted.

What?

“You motherfucker, stop calling me asshole else I will call my parents for you and trust me, you wouldn’t wanna see their wrath”I blurted out loud.

Gosh

Me and my mouth!

He gently removed my finger that was pushing his head and I didn’t know how it happens, but I find myself in front of him in the restroom.

“Serious… ly!”

“A quickie?”

“I’ll be damned to do that with an idiot like you”

“You thought you can get everything with your looks?”

“Well, hell no. That’s with the other girls, not me. I have dignity, yunno”

“I’m not that cheap”

“Gosh, If you know who I am, you won’t be offering me this disgusting thing, I’m the daughter of the famous long….”

A slap on my face Interpolated in my words.

Then, I found myself back in front of him. Now in real state.

“Wow!”he said.

Wait…

He… slapped me?

My cheek hurt really bad.

I couldn’t get angry at him for slapping me because I feel shy.

Did I just talked with him in my trance when he’s actually infront of me?

Mama mercy!

“Uhm. I like what just happened now”he smiled.

“Stop smiling, you’re making me teary”I sniffed.

“Stop crying, okay?”he stretched his hand out, trying to touch my eyes.

I took my face away Immediately..

He sighed before dropping his hand beside him.

“I’m going to help you”
