Falling For The Girl I Bullied
Chapter 20

Kyle’s P.O.V.

“I heard that you helped Dustin in his assignment”, I asked Violet who was sitting beside me in the classroom. “He…. He came to me asking for help”, she replied to me in a low voice while looking at her book in a way as if that was the most interesting thing in the world. “So, if anyone comes to you for help, you will help him. Is that what you want to say, huh?” I asked her in a taunting voice this time and she took a deep breath. I didn’t know why I was still pissed at her for helping Dustin. She didn’t answer me and kept looking at the book. I snatched her book and threw it on the ground behind me. “Hey”, she yelled, but lowered her eyes immediately, making me angrier than I was already.

“Answer me”, I gritted my teeth and pulled her towards me by her arm. “Aaaahhh”, she hissed and tried to remove her arm from my grip. “Y… you are hurting me”, she said in a low and painful voice while trying to remove my grip. I tightened my grip on her arm for a second but threw her arm away the next second. She immediately rubbed that place where I had held her. “I also need help with my assignments”, I said after a few seconds and she immediately looked at me with wide eyes in shock. She tried to say something but nothing came out of her mouth making me smirk this time. “What? You don’t want to help me?” I asked her in a mocking tone this time and she closed her eyes while lowering her eyes.

I took my assignments out of my bag and threw them on the table in front of her. She opened her eyes and looked at the paper. “Finish them and then give them to me. I am sure that you have plenty of free time these days”, I said to her in a commanding tone and then looked in front of me. The bell had already rung but our chemistry teacher had not arrived yet. “B… but this is not my subject”, she stuttered again while telling me. I looked back at her and saw the economics assignment in her hand. “You have the title of a nerd. I am sure that you will manage to finish this too”, I replied to her in a taunting voice once again. “B… B.. but”, she tried to protest but I glared at her hard and she slumped down her shoulders in defeat.

She didn’t say any word again and put my assignments in her bag. “I need them by Monday”, I told her the deadline and saw her balling her fists tightly. Today was Friday and it meant that she had to spend the whole weekend finishing my assignments. “I… I will not be able to finish all the assignments than”, she told me in a low tone and I narrowed my eyes at her. “Y… y.. you guys have a practice match tomorrow…. A… an….and I need to be there wi… with you guys”, she told me the reason while stuttering hard, but what she said made me widen my eyes in surprise. “You have accepted the job?” I asked her in surprise and she only nodded while biting her lower l*p furiously.

Without thinking anything, I pulled her lower l*p out of her teeth. “You have a very bad habit of biting your lips. Change it”, I once again instructed her while rubbing her l*p where she was biting. Her lips were really soft. She immediately looked in the other direction to avoid my touch and it infuriated me again. I agreed that she was beautiful and sometimes, biting her lips innocently, tempted me to k**s her once. But it didn’t mean that she behaved like this. I retreated my hand and put it down on the table and looked in front of me once again. “Welcome to hell then”, I muttered in a low voice, making her flinch a little. At the same time, the teacher entered the class and everyone greeted her except me and Violet.

I felt that Violet was trying to say something but I didn’t look at her. I opened my book and flipped the pages to open the page that the teacher asked. After some time, I felt someone poking my arm very lightly. I looked at her and saw her looking at me with her clear watery eyes. She had big ocean blue eyes that made her more beautiful. “What?” I asked her annoyingly in a low voice. “My book”, she said in a very low voice. I wrinkled my face in confusion. “So?” I asked her again and she took a deep breath. She pointed to my other side on the ground. “My book”, she spoke while pointing there and I followed the direction of her finger. I rolled my eyes when I realized that she was asking me to help her getting her book on the floor where I threw it a while ago.

“Pick by yourself”, I said in a flat low tone and looked back at my book again. Suddenly, she slipped under the table and before I could understand what she was doing, she slid under my legs towards outside. “Hey”, I yelled in a low tone, as I didn’t want to get the attention of our teacher. I saw her crawling under my legs and then she picked up her book from the floor and then crawled back. I was really amazed by this girl. Her back brushed my thighs, making me pull my legs upwards unconsciously so that she didn’t hurt herself. She came back to her seat in the same manner and then smiled at me sheepishly. “Thank you”, she said in a low tone while smiling and then opened her book.

I wanted to yell at her for what she did but closed my mouth. She was really something. For the rest of the class, we both concentrated on our lessons. I needed to stay alert in my classes because I had to get good grades to get admission to the university. My parents wanted me to pursue business administration and economics there, but I wanted to study medicine. The conflict was really hard as none of us wanted to give up. I had no interest in business but I couldn’t help myself here because I was the only heir of the whole business empire that my parents had created. After finishing the class, I put my book and notebook inside my bag.

“You have to stay after school for our practice. You know this, right?” I asked her in a casual tone and she nodded. “See you in the canteen then”, I said while standing up, but she didn’t stand up. I didn’t pay attention to her this time and looked for Ethan. He was also standing near his seat and was looking at me. We both walked towards the door and met halfway. “What was that?” he asked me in amazement and I rolled my eyes while rounding my head too. “I refused to help her getting her book”, I told him the reason for her weird behaviour. He chuckled while shaking his head. “She is really something”, he said and I scoffed. “There is no doubt in this”, I agreed with him immediately.

We both walked towards the locker as I needed to get my books for the next class. “She has accepted the job and now she will work with us”, I informed him while walking towards the locker. “Really?” he asked me in an amused tone once again and I narrowed my eyes at him. “This is good”, he said while thinking something as he looked in front of him this time. “What is it, Ethan?” I asked him still looking at him. “Uhhhh… I heard some girls talking about Sia and her gang. They are planning to teach Violet a lesson for the last incident. Sia is pissed at her because of the scolding that she got from the principal”, he told me, and I balled up my fists tightly while trying to control my anger.

“If I remember correctly, then she has all her classes with us or others, right?” I asked him in a low tone while stopping near my locker. “Yeah…. So?” he asked me in confusion after replying to my question. “Then ask everyone to stay with her in all her classes to stop Sia or any of her minions from approaching her”, I instructed him and he nodded. “I was thinking about the same, bro”, he said to me and I nodded once while putting my chemistry book and notebook inside the locker and took out my economics book and notebook. Whatever happened that day was not Violet’s fault still Sia was blaming her, only to vent her anger and there was no way that I was going to let her get way with Violet at any cost. She was easy to bully, but it didn’t mean that she could be her punching bag according to her will.

“There must be something that can help us teach Sia a lesson”, Ethan muttered under his breath while taking his books out of his locker. I chewed my internal cheeks while thinking about the conversation that I heard in the washroom that day. “Sia’s new prey is David, the new football captain”, I said in a low tone while locking my locker once again. Ethan immediately raised his brows in curiosity. “What do you want to say, huh?” he asked me in a hushed tone. I didn’t reply to him but started walking towards the next class. To be honest, I didn’t know what to do with this information. “I am not sure but”, I paused and took a breath through my mouth.

“I think we can keep an eye on both of them. You know David. He will surely brag if anything happen between him and Sia. I don’t want any of us to get into the dirt to get something on her but”, I paused again and looked at Ethan. He smiled knowingly and took a deep breath. “Let’s forget about her for the time being. We will watch over Violet and will make sure that Sia will stay away from her”, he said with a sigh, and I also nodded. I also wanted to avenge Violet and now she was with us now. So, as the captain of my team, it was my responsibility to make sure of her safety here. I knew that we were not giving Violet any free space but she needed to be protected rather than staying alone all the time.
