(BRAD’S POV)

I had made up my mind that I was not going to see Isabella when she was leaving for the party. I did not feel like enduring a round of torture. She would look gorgeous and then it would kill me.

So I was wearing my headphones and gaming when it was suddenly yanked off me. I jerked up to see my sister holding my headphones with an unimpressed look on her face.

“What the hell Brad? I could be screaming for help and you wouldn’t even know! I could die and you won’t even know!” Sha said.

I grunted in response. “Stop being so dramatic.” I said.

“Hey!” I said as she bounced on my neatly made bed.

“So what exactly is the reason why you of all people would miss the first party of the season? Your fans would be so disappointed to know they won’t be seeing you.” She said with a pout.

I rolled my eyes. “They’ll live.”

“Seriously though, is this about Dad?” She asked.

“Nope, I’m good. I don’t care about what he thinks. It’s not his life.” I answered gruffly.

    (OLIVIA’S POV)I felt a pang of guilt as I watched Bella walk away but I didn’t even have the time of process my emotions as Hilary and Tiara pulled me away.I became happy once again seeing as they wanted to talk to me about something. Maybe it was because I made the team?“So Livy. You look good as usual.” Hilary said looking me over with a smile.My heart swooned. Did Hilary Lockhart just give me a compliment and check me out???“Yes. Loving that cute skirt by the way.” Tiara said with a kiss at me.“Oh wow! Thanks guys!” I wanted to faint at that moment. I had never received such good compliments from them. It felt so good.“So, what do you want to talk about?” I asked giddily when Hilary took out her compact powder and stared in to the mirror for some time without saying anything else to me. “Talk about?” Hilary repeated and she gave me a quick glance.“Yeah. You said you wanted to talk about something.” I said with a nervous laugh but I could already feel disappointment coming

    (HILARY’S POV)“You should go and talk to him now. It’s your chance.” I said to Olivia.She looked at me confused and then she followed my gaze. I turned to watch her reaction. Her eyes lit up briefly and I knew that I was right. Dave was walking away while Bella was left talking to Henry.“Oh, I don’t think so.” She said with a nervous laugh.I rolled my eyes at her. “Don’t be such a bore! You like him, just go and have a conversation with him.” I said encouragingly. “Besides, if your friend really liked him then I don’t think that she would have let him go. Don’t you think so Tiara?”Tiara was seated in a comfy seat behind the bar and her dilated eyes lit up when her name was called.“Yeah sure!” She answered but I knew that she did not even know what she was replying to. She was definitely stoned.“But he likes Bella.” Olivia argued but I could see that she was considering it and she was still uncertain. She just needed a little more push and I was willing to give her that.“He can

    (ISABELLA’S POV) “This still doesn’t make some sense to me.” I said after Henry had finished speaking. He sighed tiredly as if he had given up after saying so much to me. “There’s still no specific reason why you had to go on and do that. All you’re saying is that he didn’t put you up to it. So how can it make sense?” I demanded. “Yes, you’re right, it doesn’t make sense but because there are some things that he needs to tell you himself. I just want you to give him a chance to explain, okay?” He said. I didn’t give him an answer. I just eyed him warily. I guess I have always known Henry since I was little. He has always been a friend of Brad’s but before now, we had never spoken. What would we have to talk about? Besides, he is among the popular kids in school because he is clearly a Jock. “I do hope you give him a chance.” He said and he sounded unbelievably calm and meek, different from the noisy and playful person that I walk past in school. I gave him a nod and

Like a regular house party, kids were littered in the front yard, either standing or laying down.It was about that time with more to come. I opened the door and was greeted by a very filled room with everyone busy doing his or her own thing.I closed the door behind me and headed in with my eyes darting everywhere for the sight of Isabella or Olivia. I was walking past the living room when someone appeared from God knows where and threw an arm around me.“It’s Bradley Johnson in the building guys!” The kid announced and the room was enveloped in a lot of cheering.I cursed under my breath and walked away from the loud room. What a way to go unnoticed. As I walked out , guys gave me pats on my back and girls tried to talk to me or simply just bat their eyelashes at me.All I cared for was to find Isabella or Olivia and when I finally saw Olivia outside and seate

But I did not care. I wanted to hurt this guy as much as I could. He was on the ground now groaning with blood from his nose and mouth. I raised my fist again but someone pulled me off him.It was Henry and he was holding me very tightly to himself.“Bro! What the hell! Calm down! What’s going on here?! I didn’t even know you were around!” Henry was saying all sorts of things as he struggled to keep me still in place.I was still struggling because I wanted to hurt that guy some more but then I remembered Henry, and I turned to him angrily .

His eyes had initially been wearing a smile when he saw Henry but immediately he saw Bella, his expression changedz “Rico Please.” Henry begged using his foot to hold the door open. “My wife is in there. Why the fuck are you bringing a dead girl over to my house? Are you crazy?” Rico said angrily as he came out and closed the door behind him after pushing Henry backwards. “She’s not dead! She’s only drunk!” I said immediately. Rico stayed unmoving with his eyes just watching Bella as she lay in my arms . “Please Rico, we don’t have anywhere else to go. We would be in so much trouble if we go to anyone else for help.” Henry begged. Bella started muttering to herself and that seemed to make Rico feel better about it. “You owe me big time. You know what that means.” Rico said as he signaled us to follow him. “He wants some ca

Matter of fact, I was not sure if it was the banging pain in my head or if I just started feeling that after waking up.I was sleeping on one side of my body and after opening my eyes, I turned around. There Brad sat in a chair with his dark eyes solely fixed on me.I gasped in reaction and his finger quickly flew to his lips telling me to keep quiet. I slowly sat up in bed and pinched myself to be sure I was awake.That hurt!(I should cut my nails when I have the chance)“How-What am I- what are you doing here?”! I finally settled on a question.“You-““Ow!” I groaned with my hand on my forehead cutting him off from his explanation. “What’s wrong?” He asked flying to my side immediately.“Just a really really bad head ache.” I said still squirming in pain.“Okay. I have painkillers for you. You need to take just one.” He instructed me carefully as if he was talking to a baby.I nodded and took it before taking down my water bott

Not just any boy, Brad Johnson.I had now changed in to a big shirt and we were both seated on the bed so we didn’t have to speak too loudly in case any one heard us.I never imagined that alcohol would be so strong to me knock me out that way. I only had a glass and since I woke up, I’ve been feeling like I’m in a dream. How else would you explain this? Brad was the one who brought me home, to my own room and then he sat here and watched me while I slept.It was like all the anger i felt was suddenly washed away and I wasn’t angry with him any more. “You wanted a chance to explain yourself.” I had to start speaking because I could so easily get lost in his eyes. “I do.” He said and then after a pause, “Then I guess I have to start from the beginning.”I shrugged. “I don’t mind.” I said and then I realized that I may be too selfish. “If you’re too tired then we don’t have to talk now.”He shook his head immediate

    (BRAD’S POV)I raised my fist to the door knocking as hard as I could. I was just about to raise my hand to the doorbell when I heard the movements in the lock and the door was opened. Victoria Martinez looked very surprised to see me.“Bradley. Hi.” She said looking at me with concern .“Hi ma’am.” I said and I suddenly realized that I must look like a wreck.I had not had my bath in days, I hadn’t eaten, I hadn’t even brushed my teeth nor combed my hair. I was standing looking tougher than a rouge with rumpled clothes and sleep deprived eyes.“I’m sorry to bother you ma’am. It’s just that, I would like to see Bella Please.” I said.I could hear the pleading tone in my own voice and I hoped that she would hear it as well. But the uncomfortable expression on her face made me start feeling discouraged. “I don’t know if she will open up for you, Brad. She didn’t even go to school today.” She told me sadly.My heart squeezed in pain but I did not want to give up just yet.“I could jus

    (BRAD’S POV)I was laid down with my eyes starring blankly at the ceiling. It would be an understatement for me to say that I was feeling drained and emotionally overwhelmed. I felt so weak with a lot that was going on at the moment.I was bothered with the news my father had given to me yesterday but I would be lying if I said that the thought of Bella was not overpowering every other thought in my head. I could not stop thinking of who exactly had done that video compilation and played it. Who could hate Bella so much to do that? The knock on my door interrupted my thinking and I sighed tiredly. Mum had come to knock on my door earlier asking if I would be going to school and I had ignored her. What exactly was the point of even going to school when they were planning on sending me away next weekend?“Brad, honey you have a visitor.” She called softly.My hopes were lifted initially but then my heart sank in disappointment. There was no way Bella would miss school and so I knew t

    (ISABELLA’S POV)Monday morning descended like a plague, an unwelcome and inescapable force after a weekend of turmoil.I stayed in bed unmoving as the events of Saturday evening replayed in my head. The humiliation was almost unbearable. So unbearable that I had refused to turn on my cellular data for fear of what I would see on the internet. I wished that I could turn off my phone completely but something in me was too weak to do that. I was hopeful for a call from Brad.The call never came and it worsened my situation shattering my heart even more. I had no more tears to cry and no more words to lament. I wished there was someone I could talk to but the only people I could talk to had abandoned me. How could I explain that I was only a victim of such cruel acts? My Alarm clock rang loudly for the hundredth time blasting me back in to my reality. I struggled to bring myself to my feet but thinking of going to school weakened me greatly, so I dragged myself downstairs instead.Dad

What did that damned Fat Nerd have that I did not??I am Hilary Lockhart!! How the hell could he even think of turning me down?!“Miss Lockhart, is everything okay?” The private chauffeur asked looking at me through the mirror.I was very irritated and so I snapped at him.“Don’t you talk to me, you lowlife!” I exploded.“Sorry Miss.” He said politely.I stayed back trying to balance my unsteady breathing as I thought of what next to do. Rejection is something I was not used to. Rejection is something that I don’t take. “I want you to take me to see someone.” I said to the chauffeur and after giving him the address, I rested back aga

Closing my eyes only made me remember the pictures on the screen. On one hand, I felt betrayed and hurt when I remembered her pictures with Dave and on the other, I still could not help but feel sorry for the public humiliation she had felt. I was aware that videos of last night were circulating the internet. I picked up my phone a number of times with the intention of calling her but I never got through with it.

I could hear her. She was also crying last night when I checked on her before going to bed and now I can’t help but wonder if she got any sleep at all or if she stayed crying all night.” Victoria said sadly.

He staggered in weakness as he rested his back against the wall. “Brad?” He snapped out of his thoughts and straightened his posture immediately. Hilary cat walked towards him and she placed her perfectly manicured nails on her chest in worry. “Oh honey. I’m so sorry for whatever is going on with you.” She said with the sweetest voice she could come up with. Brad didn’t say a word, instead he sighed and started to walk on but Hilary was quick to follow him. “Brad. Come on, please wait up.” She begged. He stopped tiredly, waiting for her to catch on. “What do you want Hilary?” He asked her feeling the exhaustion weighing him down. All he wanted at this point was to get out of here and to go home straight.“Nothing much.” Hilary said still sounding as sweet as she could to him.“I do

Isabella and Brad turned as well both dealing with the same confused emotion. There was a sort of piercing sound from the speakers and then the electronic voice went on talking. “Most of you may think you know who Isabella Martinez is. A Nerd,” just then the projected screen started to reveal pictures of Isabella from when she was little and until she changed her dressing sense. She had her braces on, she played soccer, she wore larger clothes. There were giggles round the crowd as an animated picture of Isabella wearing large glasses and heavy braces came on. “Some people think she’s now changed, pretty, hot but guess what? I bet you didn’t know that she’s also a liar and a slut!” Isabella felt her body grow cold and her stomach drop. Brad was shocked as a video of the intimate tim

It was everyone else in the gym.Isabella could feel the heaviness in their eyes and Brad could feel as her grip tightened in his hand.“Are you okay?” He asked lowering his head so he could bring his face closer to hers.She looked up at him with her eyes sheikh her discomfort and panic.“Everyone is watching us.” She whispered at him.Brad smiled then and he brushed her cheek affectionately. “Everyone is watching you.” Bella smiled shyly at his words.“No, they aren’t.” She said back with a giggle. She was already beginning to feel a little bit more relaxed. “Yes they are.” Brad said and he looked down at her beautiful face wishing he could curse out loud. “My goodness Isabella, you have no idea how
