Grace's pov:Candice started telling me about her vacation trip on Hawaii with her aunty. How much she loved that place. She got a little tanning also. As we were talking someone cleared their throat beside Candice. We both raised our heads towards the voice and saw Joshua Candice don't know him, we stared at him for few seconds so he could say why he is here but he did said anything so we went back to our conversation. He again tried to get our attention by tapping on the table. "What?" Candice spat annoyed by his interruption. "That's my place." he replied. "And who said that?" she again questioned. "I am sitting here from few days." he retorted back. "Because I was on vacations for few days, and no one can come and claim my seat like that boy." she snapped at him. "But here nowhere your name is written." he frowned. "Neither yours." she said and smirked. He glanced at me with hopeful eyes so I would say something in his favour but I was staring at him.Why would I take his
Grace's pov:I clenched my jaw seeing him smile like a fool and said "See Josh you are a good guy and I don't want to hurt you so stay away.""So you even gave me a nickname." he said still smiling.This idiot! Didn't he listen what I said in the whole line instead of it. He is getting on my nerves now. "YOU WANNA DIE DON'T TAKE MY SILENCE AS MY WEAKNESS AND FUCK OFF." I shouted. "But just now you said you don't wanna hurt me." he said. He said the truth.But why it is the truth?"You son----" I again started but his phone rang. He took out his phone and received it gesturing me to stop for 2 minutes. He started talking--"Hello" he said and the other line replied. With whom is he talking? "I'm at the school with my friend." he said glancing at me. I'm not your friend idiot! "Okay I get it. Bye I love you." he again said.Is he talking to a girl? Is she his girlfriend?Why do I care? "Who was it?" I asked glaring at him. Why did I even asked?"Why are you jealous?" he said
Grace's pov:As I reached downstairs I saw all the maids standing in a line head down and hands clasped inront on them.Whoa so much respect to this woman! I moved my gaze on Mrs. Anderson she was in her work attire roaming here and there while frowning. Oh so much tension I gave her. I stand near the last stair and said "You asked for me Mrs. Anderson."She raised her head towards me and her face morphed into rage. "HOW DARE YOU?" she shouted at me. I saw the broken vase behind her then at her. "Oh you got my lovely gift I prepared for you." I grinned. "SHUT UP GRACE, THAT WAS MY FAVOURITE VASE AND YOU KNOW THAT." she again yelled. "So what do think, why I broke it?" I said wiggling my brows. "You can't see my happiness. Right?" she said while gritting her teeth. "No doubt." I said enjoying every ounce of it."Listen you good for nothing girl, I----" as she was saying Mr. Anderson entered from the gate. Wow! double players to fight with me. That's interesting. He saw all t
Joshua's pov:I entered the school gates and saw the same view as always students rushing inside their classes some of them talking and standing in groups. I started walking towards my class when I passed the basketball court I remember yesterday's incident with Grace. How she got upset in the last and left from there without saying anything. I should apologize to her. I shouldn't do that. I entered the class and saw few students were sitting there. I went to my bench on which I sat alone yesterday and sat on it. Slowly the class started filling with students, but Grace is still not here and Candice is also not here. Is she that much upset with me. All the students came except Grace and Candice. Mrs. Smith also entered and started talking attendance. "Har---." As Mrs. Smith was still calling the student's names suddenly Grace and Candice entered without seeking her permission. They were walking to their bench but Mrs. Smith yelled at them "Ms. Anderson and Ms. Salvadore where a
Joshua's pov:Riiiinnnngggggggg The interval bell rang and all the students started rushing outside. I saw Brandon beside me packing his stuff, I also packed my stuff. He turned to me and said "Hey will you show me where is the school canteen?""Yeah, why not? I'm also going there come with me." I said to him. "Okay, cool." he put his arm on my shoulder and started walking beside me. We went to the canteen room and saw the usual crowd. "Whoa whoa what's happening here? Any celebrity came or what?" he said laughing. "They are always like wild animals. We should wait for sometime." I said to him. "That's the only thing in my mind now." he sighed."If you don't mind, can I ask you something?" I asked hesitantly. "Yeah sure." he asked turning towards me. "When you were coming to sit with me I saw you winked at Candice, but why?" I asked curiously."Oh that, that's a secret." he whispered. "Oh come on tell me." I pleaded. "Okay fine, I know her before coming to this school." he sa
Grace's pov:He started dragging me with him. What is this idiot thinking? And what did he think of himself? I started struggling in his hold but his grip was firm on my wrist. "Leave me Josh what are you doing?" I said gritting my teeth. He turned his face to me and smirked. "I like it when you call me Josh." he said and winked. What? Did I called him Josh? "I said leave me I don't want to go anywhere with you." I spat. "But I want to take you with me." he retorted back. He keep dragging me with him. I can easily kick or punch him and free my hand but the point is I don't want to hurt him without any grudges. He dragged me to the medical room and made me sit on the chair. There was no nurse or medical staff. "What are you doing let me go?" I sneered. "Stay still." he sad searching for something. He can do anything to me. He can harm me. Beat the shit out of me for misbehaving with him but still I'm sitting waiting for him to do what he wanted to do. Am I insane? "Listen y
(Few days later)Joshua's pov:Few days have passed and still here I'm irritating Grace and getting on her nerves. But I don't why she is still as cold as she was at the first day when I met her. Anyways, no matter how much I irritated her she get angry but never tried to hurt. Like I saw her few times beating random students at small mistakes. And I know she will never hurt me. Just know because of gut feelings. I entered in the school and saw Brandon and Candice talking. That's something unique view in the early morning. I approached them "Hey Brandon." I said putting my arm on his shoulders. "Hey buddy what's up?" he asked fake punching in my stomach. "I'm fine as always. How you both are doing?" I said winking at them. Candice fake glared at me and Brandon laughed. "Everything is going fine." he said. "Where is Grace?" I asked from Candice. Candice rolled her eyes and said "Why are you asking about her?""Because I want to know about her." I said. "Why don't you stay from
Joshua's pov:RiiiinnnggggggThe bell rang and the interval started. We walked to the canteen and saw as usual crowd. Me and Brandon waited for the crowd to be lessen. We waited for few minutes and finally got the food. "Finally I got it I thought today will be my no food day." he said wiping his fake tears. We took our trays and started finding a table for us. Grace and Candice never come to have lunch in canteen. As we were standing in the middle of the room suddenly Stacey called me. "Hey Joshua, here." she said waving at me. I glanced at Brandon noticing if he is fine with sitting them or not. He nodded his head in approval. We went to their table and sat on it. "What Joshua why you don't join us for lunch now." Stacey asked frowning. "It's not like that." I said grimaced. "And you find yourself a new friend." she said glancing at Brandon. "Oh yeah he is my best buddy." I said smiling at him. "We are going to a cafe after school, will you both join us?" she asked us. "Ye
Joshua's pov:Currently we both are laying on my bed after we came back home. "I'm so happy for you." I said to her. She nodded at me. I glanced at her lips and desire to taste her abrupted in me. So, I smashed my lips on her and kissed her softly. I held her both hands above her head intertwining our fingers. I pulled away and gazed in her eyes breathlessly. "I want you Grace." I told her honestly what I'm feeling now. "Then take me." she said breathing heavily and her eyes closed."We aren't married yet is it okay to you?" I again asked for her consent. "Yes, I trust you." she said intensely. I leaned down and kissed her forehead, her eyes, her nose, her cheeks and then again captured her lips. I moved my lips a little roughly this time and she also kissed me back with the same intensity. I held her head a little up with my hand to deepen the kiss. I pulled out, as she parted her lips to breath I again my smashed my lips on her. She clutched my shoulders tightly because of the
Joshua's pov:(2 years later) :I hope Grace pass out with good grades so that she could get a decent job opportunity. I don't want everyone to graduate leaving her behind. She did hark work for the examination but didn't tell me how did she did in exams. I kept thinking about her, sooner or later, the most awaiting moment came. I found Grace sitting straight and focusing while biting her nails. I swatted her hand away from his mouth. She glanced at me nervous. I put my hand on her and assured her that everything will be fine but inside I'm more nervous than her. "So students... We all expect good things for you, results won't decide your future but still, this would give you a brief overview of how you worked throughout the years." The principal paused and took out three sheets, that were personally decorated. He smiled and continued. "These are the top three names that stood ranking and I'm very glad to call them on the stage." he announced. I glanced at Grace her eyes were close
Grace pov:I smirked at her principal and started telling the truth to the officers. "A group of seniors bullied by boyfriend and hurted him badly that he was hospitalized. Today when I complained about it to our principal he asked me for proof and witness." I said without moving my gaze away from the principal. "Can we talk to the victim?" the officer asked."Yes sure." I said and went outside if the office and took Joshua with me. I make him sit on the chair there. "Hello I'm officer Robinson came here to investigate your case." officer said and shook hand with Joshua. "Hello officer I'm Joshua Williams." he replied. "Joshua we got a complaint about you getting bullied. Is it true?" he asked him. Joshua turned his head to me I nodded at him to tell the truth.I turned his head back and said "Yes officer they bullied me many times but a week ago they crossed their limits." I put my hand on his shoulder to comfort him. The officer nodded and asked "Can we saw the footage of that
Grace's pov:I called Candice and she received the phone. I told her to come to the principal office with Brandon and convince some students to be the witness of Joshua's bullying incident. I hung up the call and dashed to security room. The security incharge was already present there. "Show me the footage of a week ago." I demanded. He nodded and played the footage of a week ago when I played it at the time when Joshua get bullied there was not clip and it was totally blank. How is it possible? There is the footage of whole day but not only of the incident. Now I get that why that principal was asking for proof. He make them remove that clip from the footage so it can't be proved that the a student get bullied in his school. I gritted my teeth. I will not let that happen.I turned to the security incharge. "Where is the clip of the incident?" I asked sternly. "Which incident clip?" he asked acting confused. "Why will I do that? When seniors didn't even bullied ayone?" he said. "
Joshua's pov:She laid down beside me putting her head on my shoulder. "You didn't do anything they did this because you hurted their male ego." I told her softly. "So they should have taken their revenge from me." she spat gritting her teeth. "No, it would have hurted me hundred time more than it is hurting now. I can't see you in pain bellisima." I told her honestly. "Same I can't see you in pain." she said caressing my arm softly. I nodded at her. "But I will make them pay for sure." she said clenching her fists tightly. I took her fist in my hand and caressed it softly with my thumb. "You don't have to." I told her. "Do you want to eat something or do you want anything?" She asked me changing the topic. "No, I just want to lay here with you." I said and shifted her more closer to me and closed my eyes. I enjoyed this peaceful moment with her and don't know when drifted to sleep.-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*Grace's pov:He thinks that I will let them go
Grace's pov: He had bruises and cuts all over his face and body. His lips was busted.Touching his bruises softly I sighed. "You have bruises all over your face." I said sadly. He gave me a lip tight smile. "Oww. It hurts." suddenly he hissed. I took my hand back immediately. "I'm sorry." I apologized. "Just kidding." he grinned at me like a fool. This idiot scared me. This time I pressed my finger a little tightly at the same place to make him taste his own medicine. "Owww." he hissed. "It hurts?" I asked smirking at him.He nodded at me. It really hurted him my smirk vanished and eyes softened. I bent my upper body towards him and pecked his busted lip caressing his cheek like it will sooth him. He closed his eyes softly. 'He is in so much pain just because of you.' my inner voice mocked me. I moved my body back, tears were pooled in my eyes. "Hey why are you crying?" he asked surprised on his face."You are hurt because of me." I said and the tear trickle down my cheek. "No
Grace pov:After he fell unconscious in my lap. Kevin brought his car from the parking. Brandon and Jordan placed Joshua on the back seat of it. I also sat back putting his head on my lap. Brandon sat on the passenger seat and Kevin drove the car. My mind has stopped working. I don't know what to say and do. So I called Joshua's mom first. She received the call.~His mom: Hello Grace. ~Me: Aunty. (I whispered.) ~His mom: Yes what happened? ~Me: J-Joshua is injured. (I stuttered out.)~His mom: H-how what happened to him?

The helpers came and took out Joshua from the car and out him on the strecher, taking him inside. I followed them. They took him in a room and c
Joshua's pov:My eyes were becoming heavy and they closed. Someone yanked me from the collar and pushed me on the ground. When all the hands get off from me I thought they stopped. Suddenly a very chilling cold liquid was poured on me. When I slowly raised my head to see what it was but was not able to see what it was because of my blurry vision. "Stop." someone unfamiliar voice yelled but I was too numb to recognize the voice. I rubbed my eyes and then tried to see, they were emptying their coke can on me. I tried to shook my head but I didn't have that much strength. The coke was drenching my clothes and they were now stuck to my body completely. When they stopped pouring the coke someone punched me and my lip busted. The metallic taste of blood filled my mouth. I tried to stop them but nothing worked. "Stop." I whispered but I know they didn't even heard it. I gasped when all of them started kicking me. I asked them to stop many time why they were monsters who let their dark side
Joshua's pov:"Grace and Joshua." he said and everyone clapped. I got surprised and hugged Grace in excitement but came to my senses that we are in classroom and deatched from her clearing my throat. She chuckled at my foolishness. "Rowan and Saisha." he announced the last pair's name and everyone again clapped. "Congratulations to the winners. Projects of these three pairs will be sticked to the school's activity board and rest is the students can collect their projects from my desk." he said.The students started walking to the teacher's desk and collected their projects and sat back on their places. Mr. Brown started teaching us the new chapter from our text book. The time passed by and all the teachers came, teach us their subject and went away. Finally the school get over. The four of us decided to celebrate our winning in a cafe. "I will eat so many pastries today." she said getting excited. "Like you don't eat them usually." Brandon replied back. "So what I like them."
