Grace's pov :"Are you okay now?" she asked me softly. I nodded my head at her and she smiled. She sent back to her place where she was sitting. "So where we were? Oh yes how did you asked her out?" she again asked making me nervous. I glared at him warning him to not tell anything that happened in the canteen and the classroom. He grinned at me. What's with this expression? "Don't you worry she knows everything thing about us from the starting?" he said to me. What starting? He saw my confused expression and again said "The way you fought with me and told me to stay away from you." she said making me embarrassed. I ducked my head down in embarrassment. But Mrs. Williams mother put her hand on my shoulder. I raised my head towards her and saw her smiling at me. "It's okay." she said reassuring me. "And let me tell you one more thing in starting he used to call you lady don infront of me." she said playfully winking at him.I raised my brow in amusement towards him. He chuckle
Joshua's pov:I took Grace to my room after having our lunch. She got a little emotional too after mum's sweet gestures because I know no one ever did that for her. And I love this side of her. When she express herself show her emotions that how is she feeling. Soft side of her which she not pretends to show that's her real self. Currently we are sitting on my study table. She is sitting opposite to me. I noticed her features which are much more softer than before now her eyes shows emotions, her hair tendrils falling on her face, her full concentration on studying about flowers parts. One thing I more got to know about her that she is very brilliant in studies. When I didn't understood a topic she elaborate that for me. I was surprised how she knew everything when all she do is sleep in the classroom. When I asked her that why she don't do better in class tests and examination and her reply was I didn't wanted to study because for whom she would study. But when I told her she shoul
'Most people are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.'It was a very beautiful quote by Abraham Lincoln. My dad is fond of quotes and I knew if he dedicated this quote to Grace there is some reason behind it. She watched him confused. "I bought this clip many years ago for my daughter when Joshua's mother was pregnant with him." he said and glanced at me. "I thought we will have a babygirl." he said and smiled at her. I know he is emotional on that topic but I didn't said anything because I know he still loves me a lot. "I will be happy if you will accept it." he said to Grace. Grace took the clip from him and immediately clipped it to her hair. "How am I looking?" she asked beaming at my dad. "Just like my daughter." he said smiling. "I'm getting smell of something or someone burning." Grace said suddenly. I immediately turned my head here and there search what's burning. When I again turned my head to them they both were smirking at me. "Yahh! I'm not jealous."
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."
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
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? (She panicked) ~Me: Some seniors bullied him.~His mom: W-where is he? I'm coming. ~Me: We are taking him to the xx hospital. Please you also come fast. ~His mom: Y-yes I'm coming right now. (She hung up the call.)In this duration we reached to the hospital. Brandon ran and called the helpers to take Joshua inside. 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
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
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
