Falling For The Girl I Bullied
Chapter 88

Sia’s P.O.V.

I was shocked?????

No…..

I was disappointed??????

No…..

I was infuriated. I wanted to kill this girl but I couldn’t….. because…. Kyle f**king Knight was her knight in shining armor. He should be with me but he was with her. I should be the one in his embrace instead of that pathetic b***h. I should be the one who should have his all attention instead of that freaking sl*t. The way they looked at each other, I felt that someone had set my all existence on fire. The way he smiled at her and then pulled her closer to him, I felt that someone had squeezed my heart tightly. Kyle hated me when I was the only one who matched his status. Still….. still he was far away from my reach.

“Forget it, Sia… he won’t change”, Millie said in a disgusting tone. I was now trembling in anger and I balled up my fists so tightly that my nails were now deep inside the skin of my palms. “I will make her pay for this”, I gritted my teeth while glaring at their retreating backs. Kyle was still holding her tightly in her embrace and it took everything inside me not to run to them and pulled her away from him. “I heard that he is now living in her home too”, Millie spoke again and I snapped my head towards her immediately. “What?” I yelled while widening my eyes in disbelief. “What did you say?” I asked her while yelling aloud and she looked at me with a pitiful gaze.

“I am telling the truth, Sia. After his birthday, he moved to her home. Ethan’s mother arranged this for him. He is now renting a room in her home”, she told me in a nervous tone while looking at me fearfully. “Aaahhhhh”, I screamed in anger and threw my bag on the ground harshly. Was it not enough for her that she always stick with him in school that they started living together too? “I will kill her”, I yelled while looking all around me in frustration and anger. “Sia”, I was startled when someone called me in a very stern tone. “G.. good morning, Mrs Stone”, Millie immediately greeted her in a panic tone and I also panicked.

Mrs Stone stormed towards me in anger and I lowered my head in panic. She stopped in front of me and I could hear that she was breathing heavily now. “You know what did you say right now?” she asked me angrily and I flinched in my place due to the intensity of her tone. No one…. I meant… no one could yell at me but my father had given them the authority to yell at me. “Don’t push us so hard, Sia, that we forget that you are just a teenager. Haven’t you caused enough trouble for all of us that you want to do some more, huh? Grow up, Sia… or else I don’t know what’s going to happen with you”, she screamed while threatening me and before any of two could say anything, she stormed away.

“O My”, Millie exclaimed in fear immediately and started patting her chest. I also took a few breaths of relief. This was really scary. “I don’t know what to say, Sia.. but”, Millie suddenly spoke again in a hesitant tone and I looked at her coldly with raised brows. She gulped hard in fear and then raised her hands towards me. “Please listen to me, Sia… I am already in a big mess due to the last incident. I can’t afford more problems with my parents. They will ground me forever if my name comes again in any mess”, she paused while trying to make me understand what she wanted to say.

“So… I … I am really sorry… but… but I can’t help you more. I have to finish school on a good note so that I can get admission to a good college… I am really sorry”, she looked at me apologetically and then patted my shoulder lightly before leaving me alone in the parking lot. I was dumbfounded and just stared at her retreating back in disbelief. I couldn’t believe that she just refuse to be my help. What the hell was wrong with everyone? I balled up my fists again but I was still in a daze with what just happened. Millie was with me since elementary school. I used that girl so many times to hide my name whenever I did something wrong. She never had the guts to talk to me like this. What just happened?

“Sia”, I looked behind blankly when somebody called me. I saw Victoria coming towards me. Noah and Justin were also coming my way. That was when I realized that I was still standing on the way to the school. “Let’s go”, she said after taking my bag from the ground. “You heard her, right?” I asked Victoria while walking with her inside the school in disbelief. She looked at me with a pitiful gaze and it increased my anger again. “I heard her and …. Uhhhh”, she hesitated again and I narrowed my eyes at her suspiciously.

“I think… you should lay low now… nothing is going on in your favor”, she said in a hesitant tone and I glared at her in disdain. “Say clearly what you want to say, Vic”, I demanded to her in a disdained tone. She took a deep breath and then looked behind. I followed her gaze and saw that Noah and Justin were at a safe distance. “David and Rein went to meet her yesterday evening”, she whispered to me and I jerked my head backward in disbelief. “Wh.. what did you say?” I asked her in a bit loud tone in disbelief. “Shhhh… you will get us in trouble, Sia”, she immediately shushed me and scolded me in a hushed tone while glancing behind us.

“Yes… I saw them coming out of the place she works. I hid and heard him talking about whether she would agree to help them or not… in.. in coming back to school”, she told me everything in a hushed tone and I sucked my breath while slumping down my shoulder helplessly. What was really happening? “Everyone knows how soft-hearted she is. It will not take them much time to convince her and if David comes back”, she paused and looked at me worriedly. I gulped hard and looked in front of me while processing what she was telling me right now. I knew David well. He was an arrogant and spoiled rich kid but he was very possessive and protective towards anyone who was on his good side.

“Talk to your dad and convince him anyhow, not let them come back…. Or else”, she spoke again but paused and sighed helplessly. “See you later”, she then patted my shoulder too, and then went inside the girls’ room. We stopped outside when she asked me to talk to my dad. My dad had already warned me that he would not help me if something happens again in school. If… if Violet manages to help David then David and his friends would also protect her. There would be no way for me to even look at her. I wanted to scream aloud and pull my hair but I couldn’t do it right now. I had to think of something soon to get rid of this girl.

David’s P.O.V.

“Did you talk to her again?” Rein asked me in a hopeful and nervous tone and I pursed my lips into a thin line. Everyone was now looking at me nervously and I couldn’t blame them for this. “She agreed to help us. She said that she would talk to Ethan’s mother and would try to convince her that we should get one more chance to prove that we have our lesson”, I told them truthfully what Violet said to me. “O my”, Rein exclaimed loudly and then took a few deep breaths. I smiled bitterly while playing with the pen in my hand.

“What is it?” Victor asked me in a nervous tone again. I took a deep breath and slumped down on the chair where I was sitting right now. “Uhhh.. nothing… I was just thinking about what happened in the morning”, I told him and he raised his brows at me curiously. “I… uhhh…. I went to her working place in the morning because I heard someone saying to her to come early in the morning when we were coming out of the diner yesterday”, I told him and paused to take a breath. “She… she had almost a panic attack when I just touched her hand only to stop her”, I told him in a calm but sad tone. “She doesn’t like to be touched by anyone”, Axel once again spoke in a calm tone and I raised my brows at him curiously.

“You know so many things about her, huh?” I asked him curiously. He nodded and then put down his pen in his notebook. “I was with her in elementary school. She was a cheerful girl back then”, he told me and we all looked at him in surprise. “Cheerful girl? No way… all of us know that she barely speaks with anyone”, Rein said in a tone filled with disbelief. Axel smiled bitterly this time. He took his pen in his hand again and I felt that he was serious. “What happened to her then?” I asked him and he looked at me. “You know the story… everything changed after that incident. She became silent and then started distancing herself from everyone. She…. She built a cocoon around her. All the teachers tried to make her back to herself again but”, he paused and took a deep breath.

“Soon everybody started mocking her. The kids from school and from the playground near her home…. they all started calling her … unwanted child”, he paused again and we all just looked at each other blankly, not knowing how to respond to this revelation. We all had heard about what her parents did and to be honest, we all made fun of her so many times because she was not wanted by her parents. Right now, I felt like a real jerk. She was just a kid who got the punishment for the crime which was not even her fault.

We all stayed silent for a good few moments because none of us knew what to say right now. “I admitted that I am a jerk who picked up on her because she was easy to bully and I knew that no one could anything to me because she has no one to protect her… I … I swear that”, Victor got emotional as his voice cracked. “I swear that I will not let anyone bully her anymore. She.. she doesn’t deserve this… heck… no child deserves that”, he choked on his voice, and Rein immediately wrapped his hand around her shoulder as Victor had tears in his eyes now. “He is right though. I also agree that we were jerks”, Rein also spoke in a soft but sad tone. “When we spoke to her yesterday… she didn’t even complain for once for what we did to her. I can say that she was the most innocent girl whom I ever met till today. She looked worried when I told her that I will fail because I am not getting a s**t through this online schooling”, Rein blurted out what happened yesterday.

“Let’s pray guys that she succeeds in convincing Ethan’s mother and we get back to school”, I said with a sigh but in a hopeful tone. Everyone nodded and looked at each other. We all were sitting in my room at my house. We had some assignments to finish and to our dismay, we all were in trouble because we were not so studious. “Did you talk with Sia after that?” suddenly Rein asked me in whispers and I glared hard at him. “Sorry”, he passed an apologetic smile and then started working on his assignment again. I just wanted to go back to school and then I would show Sia Bishop with whom she messed up.

Suddenly Rein screamed startling all of us and we all looked at him in worry. “Ha..ha ha ha ha”, he started laughing maniacally and we all looked at each other dumbfounded. “She… she is.. she is.. she is my angel… my angel”, Rein exclaimed while looking at his laptop screen as if he had got a treasure there. “What happened, Rein? Why are you so happy?” Damon asked him in a worried tone. “I… I… you remember, David… that I just asked her to help me with my assignments?” he suddenly asked me and I recalled our meeting with Violet. “Don’t tell me that she actually sent you the solution?” I exclaimed in disbelief and immediately snatched his laptop from his hand.

My eyes widened in shock when I saw her email address in the sender’s address. She actually helped Rein with his assignments. Everyone had now surrounded and they were also looking at the laptop screen as if there was really a treasure. “Ca… can I copy this? I have the same set of questions?” Michael pleaded to Rein but my eyes were glued on the laptop. She actually helped him when she didn’t have any obligation of helping us. I felt a pang of pain in my chest because of what I did to her still she is helping us willingly. Sia hated her because Violet had Kyle’s all attention. Whether she succeeded in helping us or not, I swore that I would help her and protect her from everyone all my life. She deserved better treatment and I would do anything to keep her away from all the dangers. I never felt like this for any other girl before, not even for Sia but I felt this urge of protecting her from the bottom of my heart and I knew that I would do this, no matter what happens to me in the future.
