Falling For The Girl I Bullied
Chapter 108

Violet’s P.O.V.

“You really don’t remember to whom you have given your number here?” I gulped hard when Kyle asked me again. We were currently eating dinner with all of the boys. I didn’t look at him; instead, I focused on the food on my plate. I remembered to whom I had given my number, but I couldn’t tell. Ethan had warned me earlier not to be friendly with anyone else, yet I did this stupid thing and exchanged numbers with Bella. Not only did I give her my number, but I also gave her Vivek’s number. If anyone called or texted Vivek, he didn’t say anything. I guess I needed to talk to him too. I heard Kyle taking a deep breath, and I sighed internally. I didn’t want to believe that Bella would give my number to someone else, but I didn’t know that girl that well.

“You don’t listen to me, but you should listen to Ethan,” he muttered angrily, and I clutched my fork hard. He blocked the number that had texted me earlier. To be honest, I could stand bullying but couldn’t stand a creepy stalker. It was worse than being bullied by someone. At least we know who is in front of us. Here, I didn’t know who was stalking me, and it terrified me to death. The whole time, my whole existence was on alert, as if someone would jump on me from anywhere. “I am sorry,” I whispered, still playing with my food. “What’s the use of saying sorry now? Where was your smart mind when you needed it the most?” He scolded me in a hushed tone, and I peeked at him timidly.

I immediately lowered my eyes when I found him glaring at me. I couldn’t blame him though. “What am I going to do with you?” he muttered angrily again and I felt like crying again. I was already scared, and he was scolding me from time to time. “Now finish your meal,” he instructed me in the same scolding tone. I took a deep breath in defeat and started eating again. He was always bossy with me. I did the right thing by not accepting to be his girlfriend; otherwise, I had to bear her the whole time. “I dare you to think this again, princess, and I promise you that I will k**s you so hard that you will not be able to sleep for the next few nights,” he suddenly whispered seductively in my ear while threatening me.

I craned my neck towards him, widening my eyes in shock. How on earth does he always read my mind? He smirked and then looked in the other direction, where Noah asked him something. I looked back at my food slowly, still in a state of shock. He must know some kind of sorcery. It’s not possible for a normal human to read another’s mind every time. “What happened?” I looked at Ethan, still in a state of shock. “By any means, Kyle belongs to a family of sorcerers?” I asked him in a daze, and he jerked his head backward in amusement. He then leaned toward me. “Do you think that he knows some kind of witchcraft?” he asked me in whispers, and I immediately nodded while blinking innocently.

He straightened his neck and then burst into laughter. I flinched a little and then looked back at my food, turning red in embarrassment. How could I be so stupid? “Violet… you are amazing,” I heard Ethan comment on me during his laughter, and I felt like replaceing a hole to hide in. “What happened?” I heard Justin asking Ethan something. “Nothing… Violet cracked a hilarious joke,” Ethan answered, and I closed my eyes tightly. “I’m sure she is,” Kyle scoffed, and my heart began to pound furiously. Ethan wrapped his hand around my shoulder and squeezed it a little while laughing hard.

I started eating again as I wanted to finish my meal so that I could go to sleep now. Ethan slowly removed his hand from my shoulder and started eating again. I didn’t look at anyone and finished eating as fast as I could. Kyle kept on glancing at me, but I didn’t look at him again. I was glad that things didn’t get awkward between us after his confession two days ago but he became more possessive than he was already. We finished our meals and then stood up together. “Mr. Stammers has called us into his room,” he informed everyone, and I looked around at all the boys. “David”, he called him and he looked at Kyle questioningly. “Your team too,” he told him, and I pursed my lips into a thin line.

“Let’s go then,” David said, and we all started walking towards our room. “I will be in our room,” I told Ethan. He looked at me worriedly. I smiled and then looked at Kyle. “Will you be alright alone?” he asked me in a worried tone too. “Yupe… I don’t think that anyone will try to do something here,” I tried to assure him with a small smile on my lips. He didn’t say a word, but I could see the worry on his face. I lowered my face while smiling a little. One incident and everything changed in my life. I had no one to worry about me so much. I looked up at everyone around me. Now I had so many people around me who worried about my well-being. They left me at the door of our room. “Call me if anyone approaches you,” Kyle instructed me before leaving me there. Ethan also nodded in agreement with him. I sighed internally but nodded, confirming to them that I would do the same.

I went inside the room and g*****d while rolling my neck. I lay down on Ethan’s bed and closed my eyes. I was glad that both teams didn’t have their match tomorrow. I could use that time to finish my pending homework and assignments. Although we were exempt from submitting our homework and assignments on time, I still wanted to finish everything on time. I didn’t want any backlogs for me. The boys were not so enthusiastic about finishing their homework and assignments, yet they often worked with me. I opened my eyes when I heard a knock on the door. I pursed my lips into a thin line while looking at the door. Whoever was at the door right now was not from our school, or else he didn’t knock.

I stood up and walked towards the door. I saw no one there. I decided to go out to see if someone was pulling a prank on me now. It was ridiculous. I peeked outside the door and straightened myself up immediately when I saw Augustus standing a little far from the door on the other side of the corridor with another guy. “Hey!” He immediately waved his hand when he saw me. “Did… did you knock?” I asked him to confirm. He smiled and then walked towards me. I came out of the room and stood near the door. “You blocked me,” he said, and I looked at him in confusion. “What?” I asked him in confusion while shrinking my nose a little.

He sighed and then rubbed his forehead. “I sent you a message in the evening, and that prick captain of yours blocked my number in your phone,” he spat, and I chewed on my inner cheeks. So he was the one who sent that message. “I don’t think that he did anything wrong. You are sending a message to a girl, like a stalker. What else do you expect in this case?” I immediately defended Kyle and then asked him in a calm tone. He clicked his tongue while smiling bitterly, and then looked at his friend. “You are really acting well,” he said, and I raised my brows while looking at him coldly.

He took a step forward and stopped right in front of me. I crossed my hands in front of my chest while looking at him coldly. “You know you’ve had my attention since last year when no one even looked at you,” I scoffed, but my gaze remained cold. “You are not his girlfriend, yet he treats you like his girlfriend. I got it what do you really want to do here?” he said something that I really didn’t understand. “What do I want to do?” I asked him in a cold tone. He chuckled and then scratched the back of his neck. “You are keeping all your options open among all those boys. I don’t know what made all of them so protective over you but it really piques my interest in you, especially the way your captain treats you”, his remark on me was enough to infuriate me but I gulped down my anger.

“First of all, if you have any problem with him, then deal with him. Don’t drag me between you two. Secondly, whether I am keeping my options open or not, is none of your business. So, just mind your business and don’t try to approach me again”, I replied to him in a cold tone. His jaw immediately clenched and he looked at me angrily. “What’s so good about him, huh?” he asked me in an angry tone this time. I took a deep breath and then looked between his friend and him. His friend was also looking at me curiously. “This is also not your concern”, I answered him in the same cold tone.

His face went ugly and he was about to take a step towards me again when his friend held him back by his shoulder. “Violet”, I looked in the other direction from where someone called my name. I took a breath of relief when I saw one of the athletes from our school come towards me. “Marshall”, I replied to him when he stopped near me. He looked at Augustus and his friend first and then stood up in front of me, between us, still facing me. “Where are they?” he asked me with concern. “Mr. Stammers called them. “They’ll be back soon,” I assured him, explaining the boys’ whereabouts. He nodded and then looked at Augustus.

“Is there any problem, boys?” he asked them in a calm tone. Augustus looked at me coldly. “No… I just wanted to talk with her. It seems that every boy from your school is smitten by her”, he spoke in a bitter tone while glaring at me hard. “Mind your tongue, Graham. You are crossing your limit”, Marshall immediately went aggressive. “Marshall”, I immediately held his arm and pulled him back. He was now glaring at Augustus while breathing heavily in anger. “Augustus… let’s go… let’s go”, Augustus’s friend dragged him away from Marshall. “This is the first and the last time that I am seeing you around her, Graham. She is not like other girls who need the attention of boys like you. So, stay away from her”, Marshall threatened him while trying to take a step towards him but I stopped him. There were a few students in the corridor who also stopped and were now looking at us curiously.

Augustus was now fuming in anger and it made my heart start beating furiously. “Marshall… let him go, please”, I pleaded to Marshall while holding him tightly by his torso. “What’s going on here?” suddenly the whole corridor boomed with Kyle’s voice. I looked in his direction and I couldn’t tell how relieved I was. Everyone almost ran towards us, and I slowly released Marshall from my grip. Marshall still kept me behind him. “Augustus, let’s go… let’s go”, Augustus’s friend urged him and dragged him in the other direction. “You… just wait for me. This is not over,” Augustus threatened as he walked away with his friend, shooting daggers at me through his eyes. “What was he doing here?” Kyle immediately asked Marshall as soon as he reached near us.

“I don’t know… I saw him approaching her… so I came here”, Marshall answered him in a calm tone. Kyle immediately came near to me and cupped my face. “Are you okay?” he asked me in a concerned tone. “Thanks, buddy”, Ethan thanked Marshall at the same time. I nodded to Kyle while breathing heavily in fear and then looked at Marshall. “Thanks, Marshall”, I also thanked Marshall in a shaky voice. The way Augustus was looking at me, I felt that I was in a big mess now. I didn’t know what luck did I have that all the bad boys found pleasure in threatening me. “No worries, Carter, and don’t take him seriously. He is nothing but a barking dog”, Marshall replied to me in a calm tone while commenting on Augustus. I smiled and then looked back at Kyle. He still had his hand on my cheek.

“I am okay”, I ensured him with a small smile and he nodded once. “Let’s go”, he said to me and then looked at Marshall. “Thanks, buddy”, he also thanked Marshall, and then we all walked inside the room. He immediately took me straight to Ethan’s bed and made me sit on the bed. “Hey.. hey… look at me”, he held my hands on my lap and asked me to look at him. “Huh”, I uttered while looking at him blankly. He immediately embraced me and that was when I realized that I was trembling hard. “What’s wrong?” I heard Ethan yelling, but I closed my eyes and put my hands on Kyle’s chest while trying to breathe properly.

“We shouldn’t have left her alone,” I heard Rein saying in a worried tone. “I am sure that he was the one who sent that message to her; it was Axel this time. “Guys… stop now!” Kyle yelled at them while stroking my back gently. “I am okay,” I whispered once again, but this was not for Kyle. I was comforting myself while still trembling in his embrace. “Yes, princess…. You are okay,” he reassured me in a gentle tone. I didn’t know what was going to happen now, but I was scared. “Sh… should we tell, Mr. Stammers?” I asked him without lifting my head from his chest. “I think we should,” he whispered to me, and I kept on taking deep breaths. “What did he say to you?” he asked me after some time.

“He… he has any grudge against you?” I asked him instead of answering him. I felt his chest moving up and down. “That is nothing personal… He lost most of the matches against me in the past four years”, Kyle told me and I slightly moved my head a little up toward him. I felt his breath on my face. He kissed my forehead lightly. I could see the worry in his eyes. “Let her lie down for a while”, I heard Ethan asking Kyle something, but I clutched his t-shirt tightly. “I am not going anywhere, princess. Calm down now”, Kyle whispered again but I shook my head at his chest. “I told you to call me if anyone approaches you. Why didn’t you call me?” he asked me in a gentle tone but I could feel that he was disappointed.

“Marshall reached there before I called you”, I told him what happened truthfully. He sighed aloud and then held me tightly. “I don’t know what I need to do to keep you away from everyone”, he murmured under his breath but his words made me smile. “Don’t smile… you always make me worried”, he scolded me this time, still in whispers, but held me tightly. I smiled widely and then closed my eyes. I didn’t know what the future had stored for us, but I could enjoy the care that I was getting for him, couldn’t I?
