Falling For The Girl I Bullied
Chapter 13

Kyle’s P.O.V.

All of us looked at Dustin in shock who was now proudly showing us his math’s assignment. Yesterday, he was wailing bitterly while cursing Mr Harold and today, he had finished his assignment and had this wide grin on his lips. “Did you get any magic lamp, Dustin and the genie has helped you finish all these questions?” Justin asked him in amazement while flipping the pages of his assignment. “Yup… you can think like this”, he said while blinking his eyes like a fool making me rolled my eyes. “Let me guess….you have taken someone’s help”, Noah made a guess and pointed his finger to Dustin with a grin as if he had won a lottery.

Dustin grinned went wide from ear to ear showing all his front teeth. “I went to Carter last night”, he immediately blurted out and I almost jumped down from the hood of my car and stood up on my feet. “You did what?” I yelled at him in anger and confusion making him flinch in his place raising his shoulders while looking at me in confusion. “I went to Carter’s home the last night and asked her to help me”, he repeated what he said earlier and I glared at him while balling my fists tightly. “You went to a girl’s house in the night to finish your math assignment? This was the first”, Ethan chuckled while speaking in an amusing tone. I was now fuming in anger and wanted to beat Dustin right now.

“To save my a** from Mr Harold, I can do anything, man, and for your information…. We were not alone… Thomas and Daisy were also there with us”, he told us his reason for going to her in a calm tone this time. “Now who are Thomas and Daisy?” Justin asked him in an annoying tone this time. Dustin took a deep breath and took his assignment from Justin and leaned back on my car, resting his a** on the body of my car. “You won’t believe what I am going to tell you about her”, he said in a mysterious tone this time but he wasn’t able to raise curiosity in me as I was still seething in rage. If I was not wrong then he would go to her after her shift in the diner and it would be pretty late in the night. I knew that Violet was not like someone who would throw herself at a boy still I didn’t like Dustin going to her at night.

“Her neighbours are really protective towards her and one of her neighbours sent her kids to her home when she saw me standing at her front door. The way that lady was looking at me really gave me a creepy feeling as if she would skin me alive if I do anything bad with Violet there”, Dustin shuddered hard in fear while telling us about her neighbours. “Thomas and Daisy were the kids from her neighbours and they are really very scary”, he made the face while telling us the rest of the story. “She didn’t chase you out?” Ethan asked him this time while raising his brows at him and Dustin chuckled while shaking his head.

“You know her, Ethan. I just made a helpless face while talking about how scary Mr Harold can be and the trick worked on her”, Dustin spoke in a truimphatic tone this time and I really felt like punching him hard this time. He blackmailed Violet emotionally while using Mr Harold’s name. Was she really that stupid or what? “She not only did the questions for me but also explained them in a very easy way. She is better than Mr Harold at explaining the solution to a question. You won’t believe but we took only one and a half hours to finish the whole assignment and I understood all the questions too”, Dustin was now happily singing about what happened the last night. I took a breath of relief when I heard that he only stayed for a short period of time.

“Thomas and Daisy were there all the time?” Noah asked him and he immediately nodded. “Yeah… they were watching The Conjuring in the other room and then they pulled a prank on us when I was about to finish my assignment”, I, now raised my brows questioningly when he shuddered again. “Those brats suddenly switched off the light of the living room where we were sitting. To be honest, I was a little scared too when suddenly the light went off. Violet asked me to stay calm and warned me about Thomas and Daisy. I am sure that they had pulled those pranks on her in the past too, because she was sounding so calm. Suddenly those two brats appeared in front of me with that scary mask and lit the torch straight in their faces”, we all burst into laughter when he paused to take a breath.

I imagined Dustin’s scary face ready to pee in his pants because only we knew that he was also scared of ghosts and he hated the scary movies at the bottom of his heart. He even slept with lights on. Everyone now had gripped their stomach while laughing at Dustin and he had a scowl on his face. “I was literally on Violet’s lap, man…. How embarrassing that scene was for me… you…. You can’t imagine”, both I and Ethan sat down on the ground while laughing harder at Dustin who now had a dark expression on his face. I literally imagined him jumping on Violet in horror and her screaming in fear while holding him on her lap. That was really hilarious. “Du…. Dustin…. Yo… you”, Ethan tried to say something in between his laughter, but shook his head furiously in the end.

“You guys are making fun of me now”, Dustin yelled in anger and it made us laugh again. We were in the parking area near my car as we were early today to discuss our game plan for the coming match. Instead of discussing what we needed to decide, we were now laughing at Dustin. He huffed while crossing his hands in front of his chest and straightened his body. “Violet is also a scary cat. What was her reaction?” I asked him in a calm tone after my laughter died. Dustin didn’t answer me but scratched the back of his head while looking here and there. “What? Did she do something that you can’t tell us?” Noah asked him in a teasing tone and I glared at Noah this time.

“We both were screaming our lungs out when both the kids appeared in front of us in the dim light of the torch with that scary mask. I was on her lap while gripping her neck tightly in fear. She was also screaming while holding me tightly on her lap and beating her feet furiously on the floor. Mr and Mrs Hank came running inside while screaming their names and it made both of us scream at the top of our lungs again. I didn’t know who switched on the light but”, suddenly he paused and I narrowed my eyes on him. He had a worried look on his face right now. “Mr Hank scolded both his kids badly and then I realized that Violet was hyperventilating. She got a panic attack”, he told us in a worried tone, and all the lines on my forehead went straight as my heart skipped a beat.

“Mr Hank later apologized and told me that Violet has some problem with dark spaces and she easily gets a panic attack in that kind of situation. I saw how Mrs Hank calmed her down and it took Mrs Hank good twenty minutes to calm Violet down. She was about to collapse in fear and my screaming added fuel to her fear and”, he paused and took a deep breath while running his fingers through his hair. There was silence among us now and we were looking at each other without saying anything. “We were lucky that she didn’t get a panic attack when we pulled that prank on her in the corridor that day”, he reminded us of the day when we pulled that ghost prank on her. I made a mental note never to pull that kind of prank on her in the future. It didn’t matter how much I hated her but I couldn’t put her life at risk. It was a big no for me.

“Let’s not talk about what happened back then. We have to keep this in our mind not to leave her in any closed and dark room alone if she really is going to assist us in this season”, Dustin said in a calm but firm tone. I looked around and everyone had a concerned expression on their faces right now. “Speaking of which, do you really want her to be with our team?” Ethan asked me this time while looking at me in curiosity. I took a deep breath and then looked at their faces once again. “I heard that Sia asked that prick, the captain of the football team, to ask for Violet as their assistant too. So, I am sure that now Sia and her present fling are planning something against Violet. It will be good for her if she chooses us or better refuse to be an assistant”, I explained what I knew to them.

“This is all about you that Sia is now targeting her, right?” Ethan asked me in a soft tone but I didn’t answer him. “Let’s go… we will be late for class now”, Noah spoke after a while and both I and Ethan stood up from the ground. I patted my back to remove the dust and then we both walked towards my car to get our bags. We both took out our bags and I locked the car. “You know that you have put Violet in danger by announcing that she is your girl?” Ethan asked me in a soft tone while walking with me behind the others. I didn’t reply to him once again but pursed my lips into a thin line. I didn’t know what was in my mind when I did that but there was no way that I was going to take my words back. Whatever was going to happen, I would take care of everything.
