A week had passed by pretty smoothly. No one bothered me after that incident back on my first day at St-Xavier’s.
Ryder was quite protective after that day. He wouldn’t leave my side. I knew that I was under his protection until his elder brother returns back but he was not being just protective. It felt like he was being too protective almost.
I was thankful to him for arriving right on time. I did not know what Brian’s intention was but if he was trying to hurt me, he did. There were bruises on my arms and back but they were fading away. As if I did not have enough scars on my body, I just had to receive some more.
When I do think about Ryder's protective nature though, maybe he was just trying to do his job. I shook my head to get rid of the confusing thoughts that started pilling in my mind. He was simply doing his job. I insisted when my heart started reacting weirdly.
There was not

Lea’s point of view:Ryder’s brother, Michael, returned back on Friday.He was a young man in his late twenties. Even if I was not already aware of them being brothers, the moment I saw Michael, I would have known he was Ryder’s elder brother.He was an older version of Ryder. Although the ten years gap between them, they were both equally muscular and have the same kind of attitude which often led to conflicts between their different ways of approaching a particular subject.Unlike Ryder, Michael had gray eyes which accentuated his alluring personality. I bet he got a lot of women chasing after him just like his little brother.Ryder was always being surrounded by girls at school during lunch time. There was not a moment where he was seen walking alone in the hallways. Anyway, I got rid of that thought before it could have messed with my thoughts about Ryder.Michael immediately suggested that I should pro

Ryder waved at me when he saw me looking at him. I waved back with a small smile.He nodded while retreating backwards. He had that cold scary look on his face that I bet was stopping any girl from approaching him right now.“Let’s go talk to that man of yours. He’s been waiting for us to get out for a while now. He seems to be in a bad mood. ” Aubrey said teasingly before frowning while her eyes shifted over to Ryder’s face.“He’s not my man.” I exclaimed before shaking my head at her.“That’s all you heard.” She shook her head at me before leaning back to get her school bag from the back seat.I shrugged.“He got you a puppy, Lea! Can you believe that? He is the Ryder Wyatt. He has never done anything so sweet for just anyone. Even Michael sometimes craves for his little brother’s attention.” She rolled her eyes at me.My heart skipped a beat. As muc

Lea’s point of view:I felt stares on me the moment I walked inside the school cafeteria for lunch. Instead of glancing down, I remembered the conversation I had with Aubrey this morning. I tried my best to hold my head up high in confidence.Just keep calm, Lea! You can do this. I encouraged myself before walking over to the guys.They would not let me sit alone by myself.I have been having lunch with them since last Tuesday.Aubrey waved at me when she saw me walking over to their table.I smiled slightly when I reached their table before sitting down beside Ryder. Last Tuesday, the girls made me sit between them just so they could speak to me.Shelly would not stop rambling about Max while Aubrey complained about some lanky guy being her biology lab partner. The guy almost caused two flasks to explode from mixing two completely incompatible fluids without even consulting the biology professor. Aubrey looked

Lea’s point of view:Connor’s eyes trailed over the group of girls passing by our lunch table.They were scantily dressed as if they were feeling hot or trying to be hot. It was not that hot today though, so, I believe they were aiming at trying to look sexy. It was definitely working on Connor whose eyes trailed from their faces to their legs before trailing back up.I grimaced when I caught one of the girls’ boobs almost falling out of her bra like top. It was too tight. It felt like the top was being forced to hold her boobs inside. She was beautiful and had a model like body which seemed nicely maintained. I did not get why she would use her body to attract guys.Anyway, it was none of my business.Connor smirked when one of the girls winked at him teasingly before heading over to the table closest to ours. The moment she sat down, she immediately said something to her friends.They did not look as frie

They considered me one of their own and welcomed me with so much love that I couldn’t let anything bad happen to them. If I was right in my calculations, I will hate myself if Cassandra managed to do something bad to them. I will have to get to the root of her thoughts and what led her into believing that she could harm the guys. It was high time that I step out of the cocoon I had woven around me as a protective shield. It couldn’t stop people from bullying me and my father from beating me as much as I had used it to retain myself within it. I was under the pretense that if I stayed away from other people, they would leave me alone but I was proven wrong all these years. They continued to crush me under their feet and stripped me of my self-worth. Layer by layer until there was nothing left of my true self. I became someone I could no longer recognize. If I was to step out of my misery, I would start with unraveling Cassandra’s intention towards the guys to

Silence enveloped the entire cafeteria.Without thinking, I wounded my arms around my belly when I felt eyes on me. What should I say? Should I say that I feel sick? My left ribs? I panicked before quickly moving my palms over the left side of my belly.“What’s wrong?” Jake asked while his eyes widened in surprise.“Are you okay?” Aubrey sounded so concerned that I immediately felt guilty for what I was about to do.“What happened?” Alex questioned in confusion.Aubrey, Alex and Jake rushed to stand by my side while Connor leaned up over the table to check if I was okay.“Where are you going, Ryder? Ryder?” Cassandra’s face dropped when Ryder left her side to check what was wrong with me.His eyebrows furrowed while his eyes trailed over my scrunched up figure worriedly. I can’t lie to them.What do I do? Why did I even do this?Come on, Lea! Do something,

I was going through my notes when my phone pinged with a notification. Shelly bought a phone for me while we were out shopping last time. I refused to accept but she insisted that I keep it if I considered her my friend.It was a message from Aubrey.“Hey! Do you want to hang out with us? Shelly and I are heading over to a café to get some donuts.” – Aubrey.I pouted while my eyes shifting between my notes to my phone screen.I was still not done with my home works.For almost every class, I had additional home works to do since I was already lagging behind.I kindly messaged Aubrey that I will not be able to join them.I really wanted to have some donuts though.Focus, Lea, focus! I can always have donuts when I was done working.I smiled when I read Aubrey’s reply.“Don’t worry, girl! We’ll get you some donuts.” – Aubrey.Before I could tell her

2 hours later I got out of the shower and wrapped myself in a towel after putting on some undergarments before walking out, in my bedroom. I glanced at myself in the mirror and smiled when I remembered dinner time. “That wasn’t what I was expecting… to see.” I thought. “What were you expecting then?” His smirk widened amusingly. Did I just say that out loud? I thought. “Yeah” Ryder nodded with a grin. I felt my cheeks reddening in embarrassment. He snickered while his eyes trailed over my face. I immediately cupped my cheeks and glanced straight ahead. “You looked angry.” I told him, referring back to his behavior. “I was because… um… actually… no…” He stuttered and awkwardly ran his fingers through his hair while avoiding my eyes. Recognition dawned on me when I realized something. The way he ran away from Cassandra when she begged him to check if the spider was still on her, seeme

Lea’s point of view:After I wore the knee-length black dress Aubrey and Shelly chose for me, I applied some light make-up.I let my hair down, wore my high-heels and walked out before locking my bedroom door.I squeezed my eyes shut for a second when I got out. The music was overwhelmingly deafening.The music was muffled while I was in the room with the closed door but now, it was time to face the real deal, my first high-school party which was organized by Greg, Shelly’s friend but it was being held at Ryder’s place due to some housing issues at Greg’s house.Wondering whether Ryder was still in his room, I peeked through his slightly ajar door to notice some movement. I smiled and sauntered inside as if I owned the place.I was greeted with his signature smirk and shirtless figure, and like always, my heart raced. It still got to me every time he would cast me a simple look.His eyes

Lea’s point of view:The racetrack area was all hustle and bustle. When Ryder told me about his illegal racing matches, I was repugnant. I couldn’t accept that he was into such dangerous and violent sports but seeing his passion for it, I grew a liking for it too.The moment Ryder left to go get ready for his race along with the guys; I leaned against Jake’s car beside Aubrey and Shelly.I crossed my arms over my chest before sighing.Thinking back to this past week, I smiled when I thought of my mother. We spent some quality time together, cooking, watching movies and even listening to bedtime stories like we used to do back in the days.My mom was actually quite pleased with my decision of making her stay here. She thought that it was best to start anew in this new town as she did not want to go back to the bitter memories she had made with her husband in the past.She also was not as anxious as she origi

Lea’s point of view:“- I was so relieved when I saw the police paramedics rush in to get me out of that room -”“I’m so sorry, mom.” I choked back my tears and wrapped my arms around her.A minute of silence passed by before she pulled me close to her chest and kissed my temple lovingly the way she would always do back in the days.She swept the tears rolling down my cheeks and shook her head slowly.“I’m sorry for leaving you, Lea. I should have never left you alone with him. I’m the one who should apologize.”“No, mom… I always hoped that you would come back to get me but I killed that hope when you never returned like you had promised… I should have never stopped hoping -”“You never stopped hoping, Lea and this -” She lifted her chain off my chest and smiled, deep in thought. “- right here, proves it.” Sh

Lea’s point of view: The moment Ryder drove into his driveway, he slowed down when we noticed Jason’s police jeep parked right in front of the house and a woman sitting down on the front steps of the patio. I frowned faintly in confusion when I got out of Ryder’s car and glanced at Ryder to find his eyebrows furrowed deep in confusion too. I guessed Jason did not inform Ryder about him coming over to his place at this time of the day. I squinted to get a better view of the woman who had her hair covering the side of her face when she abruptly glanced up in my direction. My eyes widened in disbelief as I quickly took in a short and quick breath through my mouth in bewilderment. Different kind of emotions hit me at once, stopping me in my tracks when I recognized the woman whose eyes welled up with tears the second she saw me staring at her. “Mom?” I whispered in a gasping manner. I hesitantly stepped back when s

Lea’s point of view:“You three… Detention!” The principal’s order from earlier flashed into my mind when I walked down the hallway towards the detention room.Jake had humphed childishly and Connor had slumped defeatedly in his seat while I had simply gulped down nervously when the principal’s angry gaze trailed over us from behind his table.When we had left his office, Connor shifted uncomfortably while scratching his chest which had patches of dried up food.“I badly need a shower.” Connor had said before making his way towards the gym.“This taste good… I wonder what sauce this is.” I had almost gagged when Jake had licked his index finger.I got yanked back when I was about to push open the detention door.I squeezed my eyes shut and opened my mouth to scream bloody murder when someone covered my mouth, muffling my scream.I jumped slight

Lea’s point of view:I gasped in horror when the cup of hot coffee accidentally flew out of Jake’s hands and exploded right on Connor’s head.Connor screwed up his face and shot out of his seat while yelping in pain as he tried shaking the hot coffee off his head and stopping it from sliding down his neck and body. “You fucking stupid – Shit, damn it!” Connor yelled and seized Jake’s collar angrily but ended up pushing him away from him.I squeezed my eyes shut before glancing away when he unexpectedly took off his shirt.I heard the girls having lunch from around our table squealed in delight before giggling and whispering among themselves.I cried out in surprise when I felt myself being lifted up from my chair and then everything went upside down.I opened my eyes to find myself slung upside down over Ryder’s right shoulder.I held myself up by pressing

Ryder’s point of view:I picked the birthday gifts Lea received from the girls and the guys after they left for the night. It was already nearing two o’clock in the morning yet I did not feel like calling it a night.I slowly opened Lea’s bedroom door to keep her gifts on her study table. Teddy’s ears perked up in alert when he heard me entering the room but he went back to his nap when he saw me.I glanced at Lea to find her already in a deep slumber.After leaving the gifts on her table, I quietly tiptoed out of the room but the cold wind blowing through the opened windows stopped me halfway.I walked towards Lea’s sleeping figure after shutting the windows and closing the curtains.I lifted the comforters and covered her shoulders well when she shivered in cold. She immediately caught onto the edge of the comforter, fisted her hands tightly onto the soft sheets before turning to the right whi

Lea’s point of view: I glanced at Ryder with a frown when he parked the car on an unfamiliar street which was still bustling with people. It was already nine o’clock and we were still far from home. It seemed like in this town, a completely different atmosphere reigns at night, yet I realized later on that the busy street never slept until later at night when we ended up spending two whole hours there. There was always going and coming of people, police cars patrolling the area and the restaurants and street snacks vendors remained open till late at night. I sighed in delight when a delicious smell of food wafted in the air as we neared a food truck selling Mexican tacos which tasted amazingly luscious. We couldn’t stop ourselves from eating a late night dinner when we tasted those tacos. It was already nearing midnight when we reached home. I was sleepy but I did not show it when Ryder pulled me into the kitchen and o

Lea’s point of view: “Ryder, stop!” I seized his right arm to stop him from advancing towards the boy. I thought the boy would return back to his place behind us quietly seeing Ryder’s death glare but he did something unexpected. He leaned forward towards me and draped an arm presumptuously over my shoulders to taunt Ryder. Right when Ryder took a threatening step towards him in anger, I pushed my two plushies into Ryder’s arms, halting him and grasped the boy’s hand and threw his arm off my shoulders. “In your dreams, buddy.” Ryder smirked in pride and crossed his arms over his chest and the two plushies to watch the scene being unfolded when I gave him a I-got-this look when I remembered some self-defense techniques Aubrey taught me. I raised an eyebrow when the boy shrugged his shoulders at me. He appeared unaffected by the insult. “You’ll definitely be in my dreams tonight, naked.” He smirked smugly and poi
