NOAH FLYNNI have never felt so bad in my entirely life before but seeing Raine cry yesterday because of what I did made me feel so guilty. that girl has been making me feel a lot of things since I met her. she is making me lose my cool and it isn't my style. I was at the school parking lot with Cameroon and jasper after Raine had gone home in the rain. " Man you shouldn't have dumped melted cheese all over her body " cam says and I give him a frown. " I didn't do it intentionally. it wasn't meant for her I'm telling you. instead of the teacher she just walked in on the trap by herself and what was I supposed to do. save her from melted cheese? " I scoff in disbelief" At least you could have made an attempt. she must have gone through hurt. " cam says " And why are you even getting angry in the first place cam. you know this girl because I introduced you to her and you are so concerned about her all of a sudden " I say " Well that doesn't matter. Raine is my friend now and I am n
RAINE I shut the front door with a bang as soon as I am in the house after school that day. " Raine is that you? " I heard mum's voice as she came down the staircase and then gasp in shock. " What are you doing here looking like that and why didn't you come home with Mr Benson earlier today? " she asks me but I don't give her replies or even acknowledge her presence. We weren't talking and she slapped me this morning. I wasn't going to act like I was fine when I wasn't fine. I sat down on the floor to take off my boots that are already soaking with water from the rain. " Is that what we are doing now Raine, I talk and you don't reply me. you ignore me " she says in anger " What do you want me to say mum. apologize for coming up drenched in cheese and the rain. apologize for not looking lady like or apologize for not asking you to travel like you want " I say sarcastically " Now that I think of it. I think I have a lot to apologize for mum. well then I'm sorry " I yell and then g
I back up against the locker behind me in fear as I stare at the three guys right in front of me. " It's the nerd," Dean says a smirk forming on his face as he bangs the locker beside me with his fists." Wha..what are you doing? " I ask with a shaky voice as I manage to look him in the eyes.He stares at me for some seconds before laughing out with his friends." Did you hear that guys, the nerd finally has the guts to speak " he says still laughing before moving close to me. " I... I " I whisper, my voice still shaking from fear. can't they just leave me alone, they have been bugging me every blessed day for more than three years now. " Will you go report us to your mummy " Elmer, the guy on Dean's left says, mockery evident in his voice." No, I promise I won't speak a word, just please let me go " I beg " I see you now have a voice, I kind of miss the old you, always hiding in fear," he says and I swallow my spit before moving farther away from himDean moves close to me and t
Flynn the hero" Here, you dropped this," he says handing my spray bottle back to me" Thank you " I mutter and collect it from him. I hurriedly put it back inside my bagThe moment I looked up, he was gone. I sight his bag on the chair where he was sleeping earlier and then picked it up and I ran after him" You forgot your bag " I yell panting, a smile on my face and he turns back " Oh yeah, bring it over here," he says with an emotionless expression and my smile falls and it registers in my brain. I just got saved from bullies by another bully......" How was school Raine ? " my mum asks me as soon as I shut the front door. I hang my coat on the cloth hanger and then bend down to pull off my boots before putting my legs into the flip-flops. As soon as I was done, I drop my bag on the sofa and then drag my feet into the kitchen where her voice had sounded earlier." Hey mum," I say and then walk to the fridge before pouring myself a glass of water." Another bad day ? " she asks
That night, I slept like a baby. with my knees curled to my chest, cheek on my pillow, and my butt stuck up as high as possible and I have to say it's the best sleep I have ever had in my entire life and it's weird because I'm used to turning around in my sleep. I smile before stretching my legs and arms.The color drains from my face as soon as I remember that today is Tuesday and I also have school. school is a bitch I tell youYeah, I use cuss words too. I'm human after all aren't I?. I push the duvet cover from me, exposing my bare arms and legs to the rays of sunshine pouring in through the three large windows and the balcony of the wall to my left. Yes my room is big because my dad is very rich, he didn't have a specific business, he did a lot, he also has a telecommunication firm while my mum is a college professor.I have school in an hour and even though I love all the subjects, most of the people I have to share the class with hate my butt making it a not-so-happy experience
" We both have geography. you? " Gen asks me " I have maths class first," I say" It's nice that you love maths or you would be dead now," Maya says holding my hands. I closed my locker and dropped the textbooks into my school bag, I put both my phone and my air pods into it and then hang them over my shoulder. " I'm fine besides I love maths, " I say with a smile." Oh look at you smiling. if I were treated the way you are being treated I would have beaten everyone up " Gen says " Well not everyone is like you. strong and mean " Maya says and I chuckle again." Did you get bullied yesterday again after school? " Maya asked me and I frown before biting my lips " Don't ask her that. you will make her feel uncomfortable " Gen says to Maya " It's fine, we are here for you " she adds and Maya nods her head. I give them both a smile but my smile fades when I see Johanne coming over to where we stood with her three minions; Cara, Joey, and Andy. " Oh look what we have here, it's the
" Are you asking me to do these things for you?" I asked him" Well yes, unless you want to get bullied by those guys I saw you with yesterday again," he says " I.. I... " I try to say. is he threatening me?. I didn't ask for his help yesterday when he helped me. he offered to help me and I thanked him for his help. but wait he was asking me to become his servant or get bullied by Dean and his friends."Let us start during lunch. don't be late " he says and before I could alter another word, he picks up his bag and leaves the class and I stay holding out the sheet and wearing a baffled expression.What in the world was that..." So I clearly stated the plans for my science project and he said I might have copied him, " Maya says in anger at the table. We were currently at lunch period and she is telling us how her day went. well, there is this smart guy that's always in all of her classes; Derek. And let me just say he and Maya do not mix well. they both constantly bicker and argue
As soon as I opened the back door, I am greeted with the fresh air blowing on my whole body. maya closes the door. it was easy to find Gen because she was sitting on the floor, a frown evident on her face. " Hey " I say and touch her shoulder as I take my seat right beside her. maya sits in front of us, still wearing a grin " I'm sorry " she says and looks at me. I smile at her and hold her hand." I'm sorry too okay. " I said squeezing the hand I was holding." I shouldn't have yelled at you or spoken to you in that way it's just I don't like that you take it all in " she says softly" I understand it's okay. I should learn how to stand up for myself I know but everything actually doesn't have to be violence " I say even finding it hard to believe." I just hope you know what you are doing " she says." To tell the truth, I don't know what I'm doing " I say and she and Maya both laugh, I hold Maya's hand too as I stare at the both of them." But that's why I have the both of you by
RAINE I shut the front door with a bang as soon as I am in the house after school that day. " Raine is that you? " I heard mum's voice as she came down the staircase and then gasp in shock. " What are you doing here looking like that and why didn't you come home with Mr Benson earlier today? " she asks me but I don't give her replies or even acknowledge her presence.

Raine is my friend now and I am n
" Oh my God. Raine just blushed, the only thing you have ever blushed at is when you see cats " Gen mutters and I eye her." I didn't blush and I do not like anyone " I say silencing them." And was that your number he collected at the end... he was so cute " Maya chirps again and I really want to slap her right at the back of her head" Yes he collected my number but it's no big deal. he is just a friend " I say" He is a friend already?.. but how come Noah isn't classified as a friend when cam is, that's not fair you know " Gen says with a pout" Noah is not my friend.can my friend boss me around and send me errands all the time?. You guys are my friends but you don't boss me around all the time do you " I frown " You are just so hard to cut into " Gen says with a frown and then drops the topic about Noah but I don't think they will drop the topic about cam. Why are they even bothered about Noah in the first place. He saved me yes, he is still currently saving me yes, but he is sti
" Raine " the sound of my name has me staring at the room, wondering why Cam was calling me and running towards me again, this moment is like one of those scenes in the movie where the guy the girl has liked all her life finally notices her and then kisses her on the lips but that can't happen in a million years because cam is a popular and I am just someone. He walks up to me now, my heart is beating in a way it shouldn't even be beating and I don't even know why. it's too odd for me to have feelings for cam right?. because he will get to see me in weird situations because of Noah. " Hey what's up ? " I ask him as soon as he stops in front of me." Can I get your number ? " he asks and I stare at him for seconds trying to understand what he just asked." My number ? " I ask with surpriseHe wants my number?. why does he want my number?. no one has asked for my number before. no one even has my number in this school except maya and Gen and it's also going to be in my student file bu
" So I accepted the offer yesterday night " I hear mum say to someone over the phone as I walk down the stairs the next day all prepared for school. She always did what I didn't want her to do. I am not so shocked hearing it because I knew she was going to accept the offer and be away from me. But what of me, will I stay here alone got weeks while she and dad explore the world. God I hate them " Good morning young lady " she says and then gets up from the couch" Good morning " I mutter and then walk outside the house and stand by the car tapping my fingers on the cat windows waiting for mum to come out.She unlocks the door as soon as she is outside and I open the door, buckle my seatbelt and then ignore her presence." So I took the job offer " she says sounding so happy" Yeah I heard you telling someone inside and I kind of already knew that you were going to take it anyways " I murmur and she frowns " What do you mean ? " she asks." That's how you act mum. you do things witho
" I was the one who initiated the fight, I punched Dean first. " he says again " What do you mean ? " the principal asks." Well when you actually caught us I'm sure you saw both Dean and I fighting and then Raine was at a far corner yelling for us to stop so she has nothing to do with it. " he explains and I don't do anything other than stare at his face. he looks so cool now just like he had looked on the day I first met him. he protected me and saved me then and now he is doing the same again " That's true. but she could have done something about the fight " she says." And risk being punched ?. no she couldn't have done a thing. Besides if she had come closer then I'm sure she would gave gotten hurt really bad again just like last week " Noah says " Fine I will not punish her today but if I see her in any of those places again where a fight breaks out, she will be in trouble " she says." You guys will fill out this forms and after then you can leave, I will think of what to do
I stand up from the floor and stare at Dean Elmer and Wesley standing few feets away from me, three of them holding looks of excitement. they haven't disturbed me in a long time so why are they here now." So did you miss us ? " Dean says and then walks close to me. he holds my chin up to stare into his cold black eyes and I look away from him before backing off against the locker at my back. " Don't tell me that you are still so fucking scared. " Elmer says with laughter." After the show you put up at the lunch room yesterday I thought you would be braver by now " Dean says.Oh that's what happened. now I understandJohanne just got revenge for yesterday." So I see you put your hair up in messy buns now. how about I cut it off for you " Dean says and then he pins in into your locker, holding me in place so I don't move sn inch. " Stop it " I say and frown" Wow it's nice to hear that the rumours are actually true.. the nerd doesn't stammer again, you have no fear again. you can n
" All of you will regret this day. " she yells and then leaves angrily. her puppets trailing after her like foot mats.Wow that was pretty intense and I liked it so much.. I spoke for the first time, I said my mind and it felt so nice. it felt really nice and I want to do it again. but again what if johanne actually does something really bad to us. " That felt so good didn't it Raine " Cam asks me with a smile and I smile back at him and nod my head.Yes it felt so nice to say your mind and have people who will back you up. 〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️" I am so fucking proud of you " Gen gushes out with happiness and hugs me tight. " Me too " Maya says and then squeezes into the hug, crushing us both in the process." You clearly told her to fuck off " Gen says grinning." That's too much, I didn't exactly tell her to fuck off. I just said one single thing actually. it's the guys that did the whole work " I say " Like I said, I just really like Noah and now I think I like his friends too, they are
" Why don't you talk much " he asks me" I don't really know. I guess because people don't actually want to talk to me " I say." I want to talk to you " he says and those words go deep in my heart. I blush and look away." Cam is a player " Noah's presence is announced with his stupid mouth. is he really a player, he doesn't look like it." And you, don't get all cozy with my slave " he says referring to meIs he calling me a slave again, what did I ever do to deserve this. it's not like I have been a very bad person in my last life. I'm sure I was so nice and kind but why then do they always pick on me" I'm not doing anything dude " Cam says and Noah smiles at him." Now today I think I want meatloaf and a can of coca cola " Noah says and looks at me " Where do I get meat loaf ? " I ask him " Well you better hurry before it finishes " he says and then points to where we take our foods. the line is such a long line, I can't believe that I will be waiting in line to get just one pl
