Falling For The Girl I Bullied
Chapter 119

Kyle’s P.O.V.

“Did you tell her?” Ethan asked me, and I nodded. “What did she say?” he asked me again. I took a deep breath and looked at him this time. “She didn’t say anything but she was not happy. I can say that,” I told him her reaction truthfully. “Did you ask her to shift with us for that time period?” he asked me again, and now I glared at him while making a face. He could ask her directly, but no…. My best friend chose to bother me instead of asking her… Sometimes, I really didn’t understand if he was really my friend, or if he was just keeping up this façade for her sake.

“What? You talked with her, and that’s why I am asking you,” he yelled while stating the obvious, and I sighed helplessly. “By the way… don’t k**s her again in our presence. That was gross,” he made an expression of disgust while shrinking his nose, but his words took me off guard. “You sneaked peak us?” I yelled at him, and he batted his lashes innocently. “You two were talking in whispers, and I was not able to listen to your conversation. So I just,” he said, moving his shoulders up and down as he explained what he did. He was sleeping on the upper bed where Violet had slept earlier. I made sure that he was sleeping before sitting down on her bed, but I was so wrong. “Ouch… what did you hit me with?” he yelped in pain and immediately complained when I smacked his head.

“And she is going to be my sister soon. I have every right to know what is going on in her life. I have to keep perverts and other bad boys away from her,” he said while holding his head high up in the air. I looked at him dumbfounded. He just called me a pervert? “What did you say?” I asked him while glaring hard at him. I was about to smack him again when my phone started ringing. I glared at him, and took the phone from the ground where we were sitting after practicing our game. Violet was with Mr. Stammers, and Mrs. Stone right now. They had to discuss something with all the assistants.

“It’s dad,” I told Ethan while picking up the call. He immediately raised his brows and looked at me curiously. “Hey, dad,” I greeted him in a light tone. “How is she now?” he asked me in a calm tone, but I frowned. He should ask about me first. “She is okay now. Still trying to stay strong, but she is okay,” I told him about Violet’s health truthfully. I called him the day when she was hospitalized, and told him what Sia did to her. He was also disappointed and angry with Sia. “Your final is tomorrow, right?” he asked me and I took a deep breath. “Yes, dad,” I replied to him in a calm tone. “Take care of her until you come back then,” he instructed me, and I shrank my nose while frowning. Did he call me to ask about Violet only?

“I am also here, dad,” I complained immediately. I heard him laughing and I glared at Ethan. “What did I do?” he immediately protested while glaring back at me. “I know that you are also there, son. But you can take care of yourself. I am not worried about you,” he replied to me, and now it was really getting on my nerves. “I got a call from Mr. Bishop last evening. He complained about you,” he told me in a serious tone. I scoffed and jerked my head a little. I knew that Sia would complain to her dad so that she could play a victim card. “After what she did with Violet, I had this idea that she would do something to play a victim card,” I answered him bitterly.

I heard him sighing. “I know you, Kyle, and I also know what you could do or what you couldn’t,” His next statement, which he said in a serious tone, made me raise my brows. “You are my son, Kyle, and I will never let that person go away unharmed who hurt someone whom I love the most,” I smiled at his statement this time. “Are you saying that you would have done the same thing, dad?” I asked him in a teasing tone this time. He laughed, and I laughed with him. “Maybe worse than this, Kyle. You are still easy on her,” he replied to me while laughing, but I knew that he was serious about what Sia did to Violet this time.

I saw Ethan smiling at me. I asked him silently but he just shook his head. “Don’t worry about Bishops. I will take care of that matter. You said that you did nothing.. then it means that you did nothing,” he said again, and I was really surprised now. This was the first time that my father showed his concern for me, and was also ready to defend me. “Will it affect our collaboration with him?” I asked him in a low tone. “You don’t need to worry about that, boy. Concentrate on your game, and take care of your girl. That’s all I want from you for the time being,” he instructed me in a stern tone.

“Thanks, dad,” I thanked him sincerely. He laughed again. “Don’t thank me, son. Now I am feeling like a father. Thanks for giving me so many chances, and not giving up on me,” he replied to me, and I felt a lump form in my throat. I blinked harder to keep the tears back in my eyes. “I talked with a specialist about Violet’s mental health. I will share his information with Mrs. Parker. Talk with her and ask her to take Violet to her. The girl has been under continuous trauma, and this can harm her in so many different ways,” he told me in a serious tone.

“Okay, dad… I will tell her,” I replied to him in a calm tone this time. “Take care of you and her, son… and best of luck for tomorrow’s game. I am sure that you will surely win this time too,” he said, wishing me luck, and then we both hung up. “I am happy for you, you know,” Ethan said to me in a light tone. I smiled, still looking at the blank screen of my phone. “I am happy too,” I whispered in a cracked tone. “Hey,” he immediately wrapped his hands around my shoulders and I hid my face inside his shoulder. The concern and the love that my father was now showing me were what I craved my whole life. He was doing everything now to make me feel his presence in my life.

“Sia complained to her father about what happened during her routine,” I told him about some time when I calmed down. He chuckled dryly, and we broke the hug. “We knew that she would do something like that. This is very much Sia,” he mocked Sia in a disgusting tone. “Mr. Bishop made a grave mistake by involving himself in this matter. I don’t know what he is thinking, but this will create a big problem for him during the election. He is already facing trouble with twelve influential families, and now he is doing nothing but infuriating them,” Ethan said in a serious tone. “Did this matter to us?” I asked him with a nasty smile on my lips. He smiled slyly, and then we both laughed at him. Once again, he was fooled by his daughter. Whether he really didn’t know what that girl was bringing for him, or if he was supporting her in everything.

“Let’s go… it’s almost lunchtime,” he said, and I nodded. “Guys,” he called to everyone while yelling aloud, and we both stood up together. Tomorrow’s match was crucial for all of us, and we were all already determined to win that match. We would play together for the last time, and that was why this was important for all of us. Everyone came to us, and we all walked together towards the main building. “I heard that you are giving trials for the national team?” Vivek asked me curiously. Everyone looked at me while I was walking.

“Yeah.. I want to play for the national team,” I told him truthfully. “You want to say that you have decided not to take over your family’s business?” Nick asked me this time in a surprised tone. I smiled and looked at him. “Yes, I have already told my father that I am not interested in taking over the business. He agreed to give me a chance to pursue my dream. I have to take over the business if I don’t succeed in my dream,” I told him truthfully. This time, they all looked at me with surprise. “When did this change for you?” Justin yelled in shock, and I smiled.

“I know,” Dustin answered him while giving me a meaningful smile. “What did we miss?” Matthew asked me in shock this time. We were already near the cafeteria. “His dad went to meet Violet, remember?” Dustin asked them, and they all nodded immediately while blinking dumbfounded. I laughed at their expressions, and we entered the cafeteria. I raised my brows when I didn’t see Violet here. “Where is she?” Ethan asked me in a worried tone. “I don’t know. She told me that she will come back here after their meeting,” I told him in a worried tone and dialed her number on my phone.

She didn’t pick up the call and it made me bit my lower l*p anxiously. I sighed aloud when she texted me that she was still in the meeting and will come back in a few minutes. “She is still in the meeting,” I told Ethan while putting my bag on the table. “I am going to bring her back,” he told me and I nodded. “I am coming with you,” Albert said to Ethan and I looked at him. “I need to use the washroom,” he told me and I nodded. Ethan asked me to take food for him and for Violet too. I and Noah put down our stuff on the table and then walked towards the counter. “You two kissed the last night, right?” Noah asked me in whispers in a teasing tone while walking towards the counter.

I immediately snapped my head towards him in shock. He smiled sheepishly and shrank his shoulders. “You too?” I asked him in shock and he just shrugged his shoulders. “The whole room was watching you two, brother. The way she panicked after kissing you and looked around, you can imagine how hard it was for us to suppress our laughter. We were all pretending that we were sleeping. It was just our bad luck that she took so long to say yes to you, and I lose,” he scowled and my eyes widened in shock. I remembered their bet on both of us. I couldn’t believe my ears that all of them were actually watching us.

I looked behind and everyone smiled sheepishly. At the same time, I saw David and other boys coming inside the cafeteria. “Did… did the football team?” I asked Noah in shock, and he immediately nodded. I huffed, still in a daze. “Among all of us, only you are the one who has a girlfriend right now. So, we just,” he shrugged his shoulders once again while trailing off his statement. I felt like killing him on this time. “Says who… what about her friend from the diner, huh? Don’t you think that we don’t know about you? You are dating her for the past three weeks, but didn’t tell us,” Dustin immediately confronted Noah, and I snapped my head towards Noah once again in shock.

“Are you?” Everyone immediately asked him in unison, startling him in the process. “Hey… what happened?” David came to us, and looked among us curiously. “You also know that Noah is dating someone outside the school?” Vivek asked David this time in a shocked tone. “Aaahhh… that diner girl… of course I know,” David winked at Vivek while smiling mischievously. Noah immediately smacked David’s arm while glaring hard at him. “Please don’t tell Violet about this. Jenny wants to tell her on her own,” Noah requested me and I huffed.

“You all… don’t ever… ever mentioned in front of her that you were all woken up and saw what happened between us,” I warned everyone and they all nodded immediately while blinking innocently. I g*****d in frustration and moved forward in the line. I still couldn’t believe that they were continuously keeping their eyes on us because of that bet. “Did… did she know about the bet?” I suddenly asked Noah, and he immediately shook his head negatively. “Are you crazy? She will not talk to us if she comes to know that we bet on her. There is no way that any of us would tell her about the bet and you too,” Dustin warned me, and I raised my brows at him angrily.

I knew her better than all of them. She will cocoon herself again if she comes to know about the bet or about the last night. It would be better if she never come to know about these things. I took a food tray, and filled it with the food while thinking about the k**s we share the last night. She didn’t say yes to me directly, but that k**s was enough to tell that she was trying hard to come out of her insecurities, and was trying to open herself to me. That was enough for me for now but I was really not sure for how long I would be able to keep myself away from her. She was like a drug to me.

After filling up the tray with food, I went back to the table. I put down the tray on the table and was about to sit down when someone cleared her throat near me. I looked in her direction and immediately made a face in disgust. “Sia wants to meet you. Please call her,” Millie told me in a soft tone. I didn’t pay attention to her, and sat down on the bench. “Kyle,” she called me again when I didn’t reply to her. I looked at her coldly, and she cowered immediately. “Please call her,” she requested me in a meek tone this time. “And why would I do that?” I asked her in a cold tone.

“You really did wrong with her, Kyle. She is in so much pain, and,” I stood up and moved towards her, making her stumble on her feet, and she looked at me fearfully. “She is not my concern, Millie. I don’t care if she is in pain, or laughing wholeheartedly. Tell her that stop bothering me or else I have to talk with the school authorities,” I threatened Millie in a cold tone. “Did you understand me?” I asked her in a cold tone again. She immediately nodded while looking at me with a fearful gaze. “Now get lost,” I ordered her in a disgusting tone. She didn’t stay and almost ran out of the cafeteria as if her a** was on fire. I scoffed and then looked at the boys.

“She is obsessed with you,” David commented on me in a light tone. His statement made me scoff. “She is obsessed with me but doesn’t leave any opportunity to spread her legs for anyone who can fulfill her s****l desire,” I commented on Sia in a disgusting tone. David chuckled dryly and looked down at his food tray. Everyone also resumed whatever they were doing. I sat down on my seat once again and took a few deep breaths to calm myself down. “David,” I called him after I calmed down. He looked at me questioningly. “I will be out of the city for a week. Although Ethan and the boys will be there with her, still I want you to keep your eyes on Violet. I am sure that Sia’s minions will try to replace any opportunity to harm her,” I asked him while explaining the situation after we went back to our school.

“Don’t worry. We will take care of her until you come back,” he assured me and I smiled faintly this time. I looked towards the door worriedly because they were taking so much time to come back. I took my phone from the table and dialed her number once again. I balled up my fists when she didn’t pick up the call again. “What happened?” Noah who was sitting on my other side, asked me. “She is not picking up the call,” I told him and dialed Ethan’s number. “We are coming back, brother,” he told me as soon as he picked up the call. “Why isn’t she picking up the call?” I asked him immediately in an angry tone. “I will explain to you when we come back. Ask everyone not to ask her anything. She is in a very bad mood right now,” he told me, and I took my lower l*p between my teeth.

“What happened?” Noah asked me worriedly this time. “Guys,” I called everyone, and they all looked at me questioningly. “Something happened with Violet, and she is in a bad mood. Ethan asked everyone not to ask her anything,” I told them what Ethan told me. They all looked at me curiously, but I shrugged my shoulders helplessly. I was also curious to know what happened to her. I kept on glancing towards the door. All I wanted right now was to see her. “Here,” Dustin said, bringing another food tray and placing it in front of me. “Thanks,” I mumbled to him absentmindedly while looking at the door.

I stood up immediately when I saw them coming inside. In his side embrace, Ethan was holding her by her shoulders. She had lowered her head and I could see that she was really in a bad mood. “What happened?” I asked her when they came near to us. “We can talk later,” Ethan interrupted, signaling me not to ask her anything. She didn’t look up at me but I saw her lips trembling a little. Ethan made her sit on the bench and asked me to sit down too.

Everyone stopped whatever they were doing, and looked at her worriedly. Ethan signaled them not to ask anything, and do whatever they were doing. She had clasped her hands on her lap. I put my hand on her joined hand. She immediately grabbed my hand tightly and closed her eyes. It seemed that she was trying to comfort her that everything would be okay. “Violet,” Noah called to her in a light tone. She slowly raised her head and looked at him. “They have hamburger and bacon and egg pie too. What do you want to eat?” he asked her casually. I smiled at his attempt of distracting her. She looked at the food tray in front of us. She frowned and looked at me. “Uhhhhh… he said that you had a hamburger for the breakfast, so you will not eat in lunch,” I immediately put all the blame on Noah.

In reality, I forgot that she loved having Hamburgers with lots of veggies. Noah immediately frowned and looked at me accusingly. “Let me bring for you,” I said and was about to stand up when she stopped me. “I don’t feel like having a hamburger. Will you bring bacon and egg pie for me?” she asked me in a low tone, and I smiled. “Of course,” I answered her and she smiled innocently. I wanted to cup her face and k**s her forehead, but I remembered that everyone was still spying on us. I cursed everyone and stood up from my seat. “Bring me that for me too. I want to eat pie too,” Ethan immediately demanded while batting his lashes. I smiled flatly at him and then walked back towards the counter. I looked behind and smiled when I saw her talking with Ethan and Noah. Noah was telling her something at which she smiled faintly. I took a deep breath and then resumed walking. Whatever happened to her, I was sure that I could take care of that.
