Falling For The Girl I Bullied
Chapter 172

Violet’s P.O.V.

“Uhhhh… Violet,” Noah called me after some time when we were about to reach school. He was looking at me through the rear mirror. I looked at him questioningly through the mirror. “Did Mr. Parker hire someone to follow us?” he asked me, and I narrowed my eyes in confusion. I looked at Justin who was sitting beside me in the back seat. He immediately looked behind the car, and I also followed his lead. I saw a car behind us driving at a constant speed. “This car has been following us all the way from your home to here,” I heard Noah telling me about that car in a calm tone.

My heart started beating furiously. I immediately sat down on the seat again, and took out my phone from my pants. My hands were trembling hard due to fear. Justin immediately took my hands in his and took my phone from me. “You don’t need to panic, princess. We are here with you, okay?” he asked me, and I nodded, but I was still restless. “Who do you want to call?” he asked me in a calm tone. I was about to tell him that I wanted to call Mom when my phone started ringing in his hand.

“It’s Ethan,” he told me and I immediately took my phone from him, and picked up the call. “E…. Ethan… so… someone,” I said to him while stuttering hard in fear. “Relax, princess…. Just calm down first, and listen to me first,” he immediately asked me in a calm tone. I looked behind me in fear again. “Dad hired two bodyguards for you, and they are behind Noah’s car right now. I have sent you their names, their photos and the plate number. They will not come closer to you until there is any threat to you. So, you only need to stay relaxed. If… if you feel anything strange around, I have sent their numbers too. Call them immediately,” he instructed me in a calm tone.

“O my,” I exclaimed aloud and breathed out loudly. “You should have told me earlier, Ethan. I …. I,” I scolded him, and trailed off to breathe calmly at first. “I am sorry, princess. We totally forgot to tell you,” he apologized in a calm tone. I scoffed but looked at Justin, who was still looking at me with a worried expression on his face. “Who is with you right now?” Ethan asked me again. “It’s Justin,” I told him in a calm tone this time.

“Give him the phone,” he asked me, and I gave the phone to Justin. “They are bodyguards hired by Dad for me,” I told both Noah and Dustin who was still looking a bit worried. Both of them breathed out in relief, making me smile faintly. Justin talked with Ethan and then hung up the call. “He sent their information to all of us and asked to share their details with David and other boys too so that no one would panic or get suspicious about them,” Justin said Ethan asked him to do.

“Ethan must have told us about them earlier,” Dustin complained while shrinking his nose. “They have our information and our numbers too,” Justin told us further, and I nodded once before closing my eyes. I was still patting my chest lightly to calm myself down. Ethan and Kyle got injured because of me last time and I didn’t want any of the boys to get hurt again because of me. Noah entered the parking lot of the school and parked the car at its usual place. We all came out of the car when my phone again started ringing in my hand.

Justin gave me my bag after I got out of the car. I took the bag from him while looking for who was calling me. I smiled when I saw Kyle’s name. Noah came beside me and wrapped his hand around my shoulder. I picked up the call, and put it on my ear. “Ask Noah to remove his hand from your shoulder,” Kyle asked me in a pissed tone. I raised my brows in surprise and looked around for Kyle. If he was not here, then how could he possibly know that Noah had wrapped his hand around my shoulder?

“How did you know?” I asked him in a surprised tone when I didn’t replace him anywhere near us. “He always does that if I am not near you,” Kyle whined over the call, making me smile widely. “What is it?” Noah asked me and I looked at him mischievously. “He is asking you to remove your hand,” I told Noah in a teasing tone. We were walking towards the lockers. “O really?” Noah asked me and I nodded. He immediately took the phone from my hand and put it on his ear on the other side.

“Make me if you can,” he challenged Kyle in a teasing tone, making me widen my eyes in surprise. Dustin was walking beside me on the other side. “You are not here, Mr. Knight. If she hasn’t any problem with it, then there is no way that I will do whatever you ask me,” Noah kept the same tone, and I just shook my head while smiling widely. “Tell him that we are going to party after school,” Dustin also chirped, making me laugh harder this time. They surely knew how to piss off Kyle.

I didn’t know what Kyle said to Noah, but he laughed harder too. He then gave the phone back to me. He will come out of the phone if I continue teasing him,” Noah said to me while laughing and I just shrank my nose while laughing. “Halo!” I said to Kyle after putting the phone on my ear again. “I am going to kill them after I come back,” he whined again, making me shake my head again. “I love you,” I whispered to him, trying to calm him down. I heard him taking a deep breath.

“I love you too, princess. I will be there before lunch, and will wait for you in the cafeteria,” he told me, and I took a deep breath. “I have something that I want to give you,” he continued, and I raised my brows. “A gift?” I asked him curiously. I heard him chuckle. “It’s a surprise…. But you can count that as a gift,” he replied to me in a gentle, and loving tone. “Okay… I will wait to get my gift,” I answered him in a cheerful tone.

He laughed this time. “I am hanging up now. I reached the agency,” he told me in a gentle tone. We bid farewell, and I looked at Noah. I jerked my head backward when I saw their gloomy faces. I looked at them in confusion. “Don’t show off your love in front of singles like us,” Dustin complained, making me purse my lips to suppress my smile. “I…… was not showing my love in front of you guys,” I defended myself while jerking my head, but had a wide smile on my lips. I then opened Ethan’s message and saved the contact numbers of those two guards. I put my phone back in my pants pocket.

We stopped near my locker. “Ha…. As if we can’t hear you or see your blushing face? I also want a girlfriend,” Dustin stomped his feet, throwing tantrums like a child, and whined. I slumped my shoulders while looking at him helplessly. “Then replace one… why are you throwing a tantrum on her, huh?” Justin scolded him and smacked at the back of his head. “Hey…. Why did you hit me?” Dustin yelled at Justin after yelping in pain. I sighed in defeat and opened my locker.

I kept the required books and files in my bag, and closed the door again. I sighed in defeat when I saw them still bickering. They were really kids sometimes. I heard a message tone, making me take my phone out of my pants pocket again. I had a small smile on my lips because I thought it was Kyle. My smile faded again, but I kept my expression calm when I saw that it was my father. He asked me to meet him alone for the last time again. He sent the same message to me in the morning too.

I scoffed and closed the phone. “Guys,” I called them when I saw the time. They stopped fighting and looked at me. “We are getting late,” I told them, and they g*****d together. I smiled while shaking my head and started walking towards the way to my first class. “Hey, David,” I greeted him in a cheerful tone when I saw him near his locker. “Hey, princess… wow… you are looking …… different,” he greeted me back in a cheerful tone, but he complimented me in a surprised tone. I blushed and just gave him a knock with a smile on my face.

He closed his locker while exchanging pleasantries with the boys, and started walking with us. “How are you feeling now? Do you still have pain?” he asked me in a concerned tone when Noah came to the other side, and wrapped his hand around my shoulder again. I sighed internally but I could do nothing about this now. “No…. I don’t have pain now,” I answered David truthfully with a small smile. “This is good. Still you have to be careful for a few more days. If you feel a headache or even a slight pain there (he pointed at the back of my head), tell us immediately,” he instructed me and I nodded while pursing my lips.

My phone vibrated in my pocket again, indicating that I had received a message again. I have put my phone on vibration now. “What is it, princess?” David asked me and I looked at him in surprise as I didn’t change my expression. “Nothing…. Why did you ask?” I asked him curiously. “Your lips twitched slightly,” he answered me and I was now really surprised. He noticed that slight change in my facial expression. “It’s Mr. Carter,” Noah answered instead of me, making me lower my head.

“I also saw him outside the parking lot. I saw two men approaching him when I was parking my car. He argued with them but I didn’t hear their conversation as they were a little far away from me. They dragged him away from there after that,” he told us, making me chew on my internal cheeks. I was sure that they were the bodyguards hired by Mr. Parker. “O yeah… I forgot to tell you something,” Noah suddenly exclaimed and then took out his phone from his pants pockets.

“I am sharing the information of the bodyguards that Mr. Parker hired for Violet. Save it and also share with other boys,” Noah told him while doing something in his phone. “Bodyguards?” David asked and I nodded again while pursing my lips. I looked up at him and saw surprise on his face. He was looking at me with concern. “Af… ter last incident, dad didn’t’ want to take any risk,” I told him the real reason behind hiring them for me. He nodded and we stopped near my class room.

“I will join you in the third period,” he told me before leaving us there. “Let’s go, princess,” Noah asked me in a low tone. I nodded and we both walked inside the room. I took my phone out and thought about deleting the message that I received a while ago. I raised my brows when I saw an unknown number there. I put my bag on the desk and sat down on the chair. Noah also sat down next to me. I opened the message and all the lines straightened on my forehead.

Unknown: How could you do this to your own father? Do you really need to be so cruel? You proved that you are pathetic behind the façade of an innocent girl… (angry emoji)

I took a deep breath and thought about who could be the sender, but nothing came to my mind. Still, I decided to respond to this message.

Me: My father is safe and very well right now. I love him so much, and he is now travelling. I don’t know who you are talking about…. I don’t have any other father except Mr. Parker and Mr. Westfield…..

I pressed the send button and put down my phone on the desk on the other side of the bag. I knew that I couldn’t avoid meeting my father for a long time. He would replace a way to reach me, sooner or later. I needed to be ready for that meeting. Now I had so many people around me who cared about me. I didn’t need to be scared anymore. I sighed helplessly when my phone vibrated once again.
