Falling For The Girl I Bullied
Chapter 173

No one’s P.O.V.

“You should have told us earlier, Violet. You did the right thing by blocking that number, but this will not stop him from approaching you again,” Dustin said in a serious tone when Violet told them about that unknown number who had been sending her messages all day. She blocked the number before meeting Kyle but didn’t tell him anything because she didn’t want him to be worried. “I know, but I thought it was my father who was texting me. But it’s not my father,” she answered with a sigh.

“Let me see the messages,” Axel, who was also there with them, asked her. She opened her phone and gave it to him. Axel took her phone and noted down the number on his phone. “Give me half an hour, and I will tell you who is the owner of this number, but you have to promise us that you will tell us straight if you get any other message from any unknown number,” Axel gave the phone back to Violet but asked her in a stern tone.

She smiled and looked at everyone. David was sitting beside her, while Noah was on the other side. “I will,” she answered him calmly. “Why didn’t you tell us earlier?” Dustin whined and she looked at him with a calm gaze. “We were in the school, and I am safe here with all of you. I don’t need to worry about anything here, but the person threatened me in the last message. I…. I didn’t want Kyle to be worried about me when he is going out of the city. You know him,” Violet answered Dustin, who grimaced but nodded in agreement.

“You did the right thing by not telling him, but you have to tell him as soon as he comes back, or else he will be super angry that you hid a serious matter from him,” Noah instructed Violet in a serious tone. Violet pursed her lips, taking a deep breath. “I will,” she said in a serious tone. “Show me the last message,” David asked her in a serious tone. She opened the message box and gave the phone to him. David read the message and chewed on his inner cheeks. “Who has that captain’s number?” David suddenly asked while looking at everyone.

“I have…. Why?” Violet answered him in confusion. He gave the phone back to Violet. “I don’t know, but I am having this feeling that this is your sister. Call him and ask him if he knows this number,” David answered her in a serious tone. She stared at him for a few seconds but nodded in response in the end. “Yeah… I think David is right. I also think that you should talk to Augustus. He might be a help,” Noah also supported David. Violet took a deep breath and nodded again.

“Okay… let me talk to him,” she answered, searching for Augustus’ number. They were sitting on the bleachers in the playground. It was their last period, and it was free. She dialled his number and waited for Augustus to pick up the call. “He is not picking up,” she told them when Augustus didn’t pick up the call. “He may be in a class right now. I am sure that he will call you back,” Axel said this time. “Okay…. Tell Mrs. Parker after you go back home, Violet. After the last incident, I think we should involve our elders in this matter,” Noah instructed her, and she nodded with a smile.

“You are coming to the charity event, right?” Rein asked her this time, and she nodded. “Great…. I will be there too,” Rein chirped, and she raised her brows in surprise. “My mom wants me to meet someone there,” Rein rolled his eyes, and everyone scoffed. “My mother also wants me to do the same, but I refused,” Justin g*****d this time. “Are you not coming then?” Violet asked him. He was about to refuse but grinned. “Now I am coming if you are coming there too,” he answered her in a cheerful tone. “Please come…. I am going there with Mrs. Parker, but I will be alone there. I will be at ease if you guys are there too,” Violet asked him in a hopeful tone, and he grinned from ear to ear.

“We are also coming,” Vivek also confirmed, and Violet grinned this time. “I also refused my mother, but I guess I can be there too,” Matthew said next. Violet was happy now, and chirped excitedly. She was nervous about the event, as she didn’t know anyone except Mrs. Parker and Mrs. Knight. Now she was relieved that she would have some familiar faces there. “Let’s meet there in the evening then,” Noah said this time, and everyone nodded in agreement. They stood up from the bleachers when the last bell rang. “When will they come back?” David asked Violet while walking with her. “By Sunday evening,” she answered her briefly.

“I need to use the restroom before we go back,” Violet said to Noah in a low tone. “Okay,” he answered her, and looked at others. Everyone was chatting with each other. “Come,” he said to Violet, and they changed directions. No one asked them anything but followed them while chatting. “Are you still wearing the same dress?” Noah asked her in a teasing tone. She rolled her eyes before pouting. “Unfortunately yes,” she answered him with that pout. “What dress?” David asked them curiously.

“Are you coming there?” Noah asked him in a mysterious tone. “Yeah…. So?” David answered him while raising his brows. “Then you will know,” Noah winked at him, and David looked at Violet suspiciously. “Mrs. Knight and Mrs. Parker chose a dress for me for tonight,” she told him hurriedly. David blinked a few times before grinning widely. “I am sure that I will have something tonight to make Kyle jealous.” He grinned wickedly, and Violet’s eyes widened in shock, but she laughed in the end while shaking her head. “Yes…. I thought so too,” Noah chirped, and both of them high five each other.

They stopped in front of the girl’s room, and David took Violet’s bag. She was really surprised at how wicked friends they were to Kyle, but this is what she loved about them the most. She went to the restroom while they waited for her outside. “I think that her father will try to meet her during that function,” David said in a serious and low tone while looking towards the girl’s room. Everyone went quiet and listened to him. “I thought so too. He can disguise himself there so that no one will recognize him,” Noah also agreed with him and said in a serious tone.

“We will not leave her alone, even for a second there. She is …. She may think that she can handle this situation, but we know her psychological condition very well. Both Kyle and Ethan are also not here. So it becomes our responsibility to keep her away from anyone who wants to harm her,” Axel said in a serious tone. “I don’t think that her father will try to approach her in our presence,” Dustin spoke this time. Everyone looked at him while raising their brows. “Not only us but our parents will also be there. He dares to approach Violet in the presence of so many influential people,” he explained, and everyone got the meaning of his statement.

“Did you ask someone to look for the number?” Noah asked Axel, and he nodded. “I have already sent the number to him. He will contact me soon,” Axel answered him in a serious tone. “Didn’t her father want to file a case against her?” Matthew asked this time in a confused tone. “So?” Noah asked him in a confused tone. “If he wants to file a case against her, then why will he try to approach her like a thief? He can meet her in the court room directly,” Matthew explained his question, making everyone g*****d in frustration.

Vivek smacked the back of his head, making him yelp in pain. “Why did you hit me?” Matthew yelled at Vivek angrily while rubbing the back of his head. “Because you are dumb,” Vivek scolded him, and Matthew glared at him. “Mr. Carter doesn’t have any chance to win the case against Violet. If my hunch is right, then he wants to persuade her to give up on her own accord, or else he will do something to make her fulfil his demand,” Noah explained to Matthew in a calm tone. Matthew pursed his lips but continued glaring at Vivek.

“She is here,” David said in a low tone when he saw Violet coming out of the restroom. Everyone went silent and started walking out of the building again. Violet took her bag from David and thanked him in a light tone. Noah changed the topic and asked Violet about the assignments. Everyone chatted about random topics while walking towards the parking lot. Mr. Carter who was hiding behind a tree, a little far from the school parking lot, scoffed bitterly while looking at Violet with hatred. She was surrounded by so many boys yet she pretended to be innocent.

He could tell that everyone around her cared about her, and it infuriated him more. He was following her everywhere to replace a chance to talk to her for the past ten days, but he failed miserably. She was never alone for more than two minutes. This was not enough time to talk to her. Although he had filed the case, but he knew that it was already a lost battle. He needed the money badly, as he had used all his savings and no one was helping him borrow some money. His wife and his daughter were giving him a tough time too instead of standing together with him.

He hated Violet for living a peaceful and good life when he was suffering. He gave up everything back then because he wanted to marry Jessica’s mother, and had a good job. The property that his mother had at that time didn’t have much value, but its value increased with time. Also, he had no idea about her mother’s savings and other assets. He thought that it was only that house but he came to know later what his mother hid from him. His mother gave everything to Violet when he was still alive. He was angry with her mother for being cruel towards him, but he couldn’t complain to her now.

He started the engine of the rental car and started following Violet from afar. Now the presence of the two bodyguards was also scaring him. They didn’t beat him, but threatened him in the morning when he tried to sneak behind them. They were all burly and scary. He didn’t want them to catch him again. He knew that Violet was going to a social function tonight with Mrs. Parker, and as the boys predicted, he wanted to meet Violet there. It was risky but it was his only shot, as both Kyle, and Ethan were out of the city and Mr. Parker was also not in the city. It was the right opportunity for him.

Meanwhile, Augustus finished his class and was walking out of the classroom with Hunter when he saw Violet’s missed call. He knitted his brows in confusion. “What happened?” Hunter asked him in a concerned voice. “Violet called me,” Augustus told him, and decided to call her back. This was the first time after the tournament that Violet called her. He dialled her number and put the phone on his ear while walking towards the lockers.

“Hey, love…. How are you?” he asked her in a flirtatious tone when she picked up the call. “You will never change,” she complained in a light tone, making Augustus laugh lightly. “Yes, you are right, my love… I will not change for you,” he answered her in the same tone. He laughed again when heard her groaning in frustration. “Now tell me why did you call?” he asked her in a light tone while stopping near his locker. “I… got some threatening messages from an unknown number, Augustus,” she told him truthfully.

Augustus immediately stopped and knitted his brows. “What number? Who is the person?” he asked her in a concerned tone. “I don’t know, Augustus, but I am having this feeling that this is Jessica. Will you confirm if that number belongs to her or not?” she answered him in a calm tone. “Yeah… of course… tell me the number.” He asked her immediately and asked Hunter for his phone. Hunter gave him his phone after opening it but looked at him in confusion. Augustus immediately opened his contact list, and took out Jessica’s number.

All the lines straightened on his forehead when the number that Violet told him matched Jessica’s number. “This is indeed Jessica’s number, Violet. Can you send me what messages she sent to you?” he confirmed and asked her in a calm but serious tone. “What are you planning to do?” Violet asked him immediately in an anxious tone. “You don’t worry, princess. I am not going to spare my precious time on her unless you want me to confront her. I just want to know,” he answered her in a light tone, making her take a deep breath.

“Okay… I will send you the screenshot, but you don’t need to go behind her, Augustus. I will tell you if I need any other help in this matter…. And thanks for helping me with the information on my father,” she thanked him sincerely. “Anything for you, princess, and I will wait for your call,” he said in a light tone before they hung up. “Jessica did something again, right?” Hunter asked him in a cold tone, and Augustus nodded in response. He put some of his books inside the locker and locked it again.

“What do you want to do now?” Hunter asked him while walking out of the corridor. Augustus took a deep breath while looking in front of him. “Nothing for now. Violet didn’t want me to get involved in this matter,” he answered Hunter in a serious tone. “And you are going to listen to her, huh?” Hunter asked him in a teasing tone, making Augustus smile wickedly. “It depends on what messages Jessica sent to her,” he answered Hunter wickedly winking in the end. There was no way that he would let Jessica go if she had threatened Violet when he threatened her to stay away from Violet.
