Stella's POV
"Bye, mom!" I shouted while running. I hope I won't be late. Fortunately I wasn't late. What a relief! I got to my locker to put some stuff in. There was no one around. But still I felt someone's presence.
"Well, well… hi again, princess."
I turned around to only to see the jerk with his dumb two friends. They seemed to surround me.
"Want more? Wasn't yesterday's thing enough?" I asked as I got prepared. This jackass will see. He smirked as he two assholes surrounded me. That douchbag smirked as if he was the only greatest one on this earth.
"You know, sweetie, I always get what I want even by force. And no one goes with embarrassing me and my name before others."
"Ha, are you blind. Haven't you noticed that you've already embarrassed you and your name? But, who am I trying to explain a simple thing!" the last sentence of mine was said sarcastically. He chuckled.
""Riven, Nex!" and gestured something when suddenly those two assholes grabbed my arms from the both sides while the boss asshole came up to me smirking. And out of nowhere his finger appeared under my chin make me look at his disgusting face. "You know, you're the first who resists me. But it's not going to last for a long time." The first thing that came to my mind was… splitting at his very close face.
"Oh shit!" Riven and Nex exclaimed as they hadn't been expecting something like that fro a girl. What could I do?
"First go and wash up!" I hissed at the asshole. And then came his aggressive stage. He looked at me furiously after wiping off the split on his face and…. Punched me making me collapse.
"Nasty blonde! I'll make you regret what you've done, slut!" he began to shout hysterically. A chuckle escaped from my lips as I pulled the magenta boy towards the next asshole that was Nex. These two collapsed on Daniel. Catching the time I tried to run away but was pulled back by my hair. And soon I felt the hard impact on my back.
"Maybe you can fool those idiots and get out of their hands, but that won't work with me again, got it, bitch!" I didn't pay attention on his words as I was busy with suffering from the pain on my back when suddenly I felt another pain on my stomach. But that one was too painful. I winced trying to fight the pain but no use. Then another pain… until it all of a sudden stopped. When I registered things I saw someone fighting those three. But couldn't see who it was as my main thing was the pain.
Brandon's. PoV
When I got to school I heard some kind of noises and sounds of fight. I bet it was Daniel knowing what type of a person he is. I decided not to mess this time until I heard a girl's shout. Finally giving in I walked toward direction of the shouts and saw a horrible picture. That asshole was kicking a fallen blonde on her stomach with his foot. Immediately I got into actions. I rushed at them and punched his face really hard.
"You again…" he said as he wiped the blood coming from his nose. Suddenly two idiots rushed at me but I was too skilled for them as dogging I sent them back on the ground. "You won't get away with this, loser!" Daniel rushed at me and tried to punch me but he couldn't manage.
"Really?" note my sarcasm.
"Daniel, I think Miss Griselda's on her way here!" a magenta haired boy said as they ran away but before Daniel glared at me. I turned to check on the blonde when I turned I saw her again.
"Stella?" but this time she had a bruise on her cheek and blood on the edge of her lip. I came to to her and leant offering her my help.
"No, I can do it myself…" she said. Hearing her heavy and shaky voice I could say she felt pain. Of course she did, idiot.
"Thank you, Brandon! Oh, your welcome!" I said sarcastically making a girly tone.
"Not even in your dreams." She said as she tried to got up. I tried to help her but again she wouldn't let me.
"Mind your business!" she said as she stood up and went shakily. Why didn't she let me help her? I sighed and went in my direction.
A while ago…
"Hey, Brandon, you were so brave yesterday!" All the girls were coming, surrounding me and sating it.
"Thanks…" I said when I felt something warm on my arm. As I turned I saw one of the girls touching my muscle.
"Oooh, you seem worked out! I bet you have perfect muscles. Just the right type to hold a fragile girl." She said seductively. It made me blush a little and I think the girls noticed it as they all went awe.
"Would you get off of him? The lesson is going to start!" on of the boys said. Woah, I think I earned their flare, just perfect.
"Oh, shut up! He's much more of a real man every girl dreams of than you are!" one of the girls said. But soon the conversation stopped as all our attention zeroed on the one who came in. Stella. She still had the bruise but not the blood fortunately yet she was walking heavily. More like pulling herself then walking. And had her headphones on. All stared at her. But she never paid any attention as if there was no one in the classroom. Soon she reached her seat and sat on her chair that was near the window and just stared out of it her fist and her chin.
"What happened to her?" all began to whisper.
"Did she get raped by Daniel?" even though that was a clueless opinion it made me worried a little bit. But that time the luck was on her side since I appeared near and saved her. The bell rand and boring history began.
"Good morning kids!" Miss Daphne greeted. We greeted her as well. "Oh my, Muss Solarian, are you ok?"
"Don't worry miss, just a state of clumsy walk!" she said. Sure, clumsy walk. Then the lesson continued.
"You know, kids, I want you to make presentation at the end of this term to get higher marks. But the presentation will be held as a big ceremony. And you must be in pair and work together. So, please, inform me till the end of this day your partners and the topic you've chosen. The topic must refer to history and all. Any questions?"
"Can we not do the homework's since we are doing that presentation?"
"No, although it's a big and difficult task, you must know the history of your country. So during the presentation I and some of my college will be asking you random questions. So I recommend you to know everything in a detailed way."
"We're doomed!" perfect! And the bell rang.
"Ok, class, see ya soon!" Miss Daphne said and wait. Ok, now who was going to be my partner? Sure I hate history and always got bad marks at it but I promised mom to get a little better at it. And when I promise something I will never break it. So, I needed a partner who is perfect at thos damn subject.
"Brandon, let's work together." Suddenly one of the girls offered.
"No, he must be my partner!" the other said.
"Who said it!"
"Uh, girls, please calm down. Who's good at this subject?" I asked. The girls looked at each other.
"Me?" one of the said.
"Haha, Kathy, your mark is lower than the temperature in pole!"
"Shut up, Duke!"
"But why do you need someone to know this subject well?"
"Because I need to get a high mark." I answered.
"Then there's only one person here: Solarian." What?! Never. By the way she had somehow left the classroom, so no one noticed. Afterwards I made my way to the cafeteria to find there Musa, Aisha, Flora and Sky only. I wondered where Annette was.
"Hi, guys." I greeted.
"Hey, Brandon, ready for science?" Sky asked. Well, science, math's and biology are my elements. Especially biology and anatomy.
"Sure! But where are Tecna and Timmy? I thought they loved the subject."
"We were choosing a topic for our History's presentation." Out of blues Timmy appeared beside me with Tecna.
"You too? We got the same thing to do." I said.
"Apparently everybody has to prepare for that presentation. We got it, too." Flora said. Wait, if everyone's got it…. Then Annette can be my partner! And this presentation will help me improve our relationship!
"And… where's Annette?" I asked sheepishly. Hearing or saying her name is enough for me to melt down.
"She hasn't come today. She said she was feeling not well." Musa said.
"Is she ill?" Again just great. When I had a chance to be with her at last it always has to end up on contrary way.
"A little. What you guys say if we pay a visit after school?" Aisha offered.
"With pleasure!"
On the other hand I could tell Miss Daphne to right my and Annette's names so that we could be partners in this shit.
"Besides, I see you are a hero, Brandon." Roy said. But I didn't get what he meant.
"Yeah, sure. You are a real savor, a real knight in shining armour." Musa said.
"Um… sorry but what are you talking about?" I asked feeling real dumb.
"You're such a gentleman!" suddenly other girls caged me praising me.
"Saving a girl is so manlike glory!" A girl? Are they talking about…
"Yes, yes! The newbie knight saves the almost humiliated and defenceless girl from a wolf attack!" Jess's voice was heard from the distance. Soon she approached us.
"Ok, B fans, you'll get your part from him a little later, and who knows one of you might become his the only one!" the girls went crazy.
"Please, choose me." "No, me.." I managed to get out of that crowd somehow.
"Please, girls, Not now, I have some things to deal with." I caught Jess's hand and went aside.
"Now explain." I demanded.
"What? You should thank me as I brought you glory and besides those girls are over heels for you."
"I just can't understand how you did that. You weren't there."
"Well, almost." She checked her nails while saying. Then it hit me.
"Miss Griselda?"
"Exactly! Those stupid dickhead always fear her."
"But wait if you were there why weren't you helping? What if Daniel hurt her badly? What if was never around then?"
"But you were. Besides this is a sensation, Brandon, sensation!"
"You're heartless." She just laughed at it. I headed for Science as the bell rang.
Fortunately, I have science with the guys and Annette, but since she didn't come… During the class I was thinking about what would make out my and Annette's partnership. I hoped during that task we would spent time with each other, then maybe she would fall for me, then we would be a couple and she would forget about that idiot at last, then our first kiss, engagement, marriage and cute kids…. I'm sure most girls would be envy of her. I would keep on these sweet thoughts if someone wouldn't interrupt me with a huge splash!
"What the hell!" I shouted and when I saw who it was. I didn't even notice it was already break time thanks to my thoughts.
"This is the list with the authors we have to read during this task." There in front of me was standing the ungrateful and irritating girl that I saved that day. Her hand with a paper was on my desk.
"Solarian, you should thank him. He's your saver after all."" One of the boys said.
"Something tells me you want to meet with YOUR saver in the sky." The boy got scared and backed off. "Now what refers to you, today after school next me in the library so that we got the books, got it?"
"Wait, who said you're working with me?"
"Correction 1: YOU are working with me, and 2: Ask Miss Daphne, she's responsible for this."
"Np, I don't want to work with you. I'd better go to hell!"
"Then go, it's not like I'm holding you. But since you don't have a one way ticket to the hell, be at library after school. Don't even dare not to come!" I am screwed.
After the lesson I went to find Miss Daphne and to scratch my and that girl's future partnership.
"I'm sorry Brandon, the headmister wanted the names quickly. We can't change anything, I'm afraid, but Solarian is a smart girl. She's really strong at history so I don't doubt you two will get the highest marks. "
"Thanks, Miss Daphne." I sighed. But I hoped nothing could be even worse than this. I got to library to find her headphones on leaning on the door of the library. She noticed me as she put out her headphones.
"At last you came. Come!"we entered and she got out her papers and I mine.
"For the first time choose 5 authors' books." I read the names and got those…. Gigantic books! Seriously, each of them had 600 or more pages! She got 5 others for her again with the same size.
"How in the hell we're supposed to read these!"
"Will see." She said as she approached me. For the first time I noticed I was taller than her but she was really small. Her head reached almost my chest. Suddenly she hit my chest with something.
"Ouch, what the heck! What's this damn thing!?"
"I see you're also blind. It's note book were you have to write summary after reading each chapter. I'll be doing the same. Then at the weekends, we'll exchange our note books and read them."
"Um… are you crazy? Do you think we are able, no I am able to do that? It's impossible! By the way what topic have you chosen?"
"We'll be able if you just shut up and follow my rules. And the topic is the resolution of the history from ancient times to nowadays." WTF.
"No, you're crazy! Just you to know I hate this damn history and don't agree with this!"
"And I hate people like you that always make themselves as the ones whom they'll never be, hero. And deal with it!"
"Watch your tone! I'll complain. This is not a democratic. Partners must take into account each others opinions." I said in a deadly voice. She moved closer so that we were inches away. I don't know why but got nervous as I looked straight into her eyes that were like hunting something in mines. I don't know why but breathing got heavier.
"I prefer dictatorship rather than democracy." She said in a calm whisper. It came out so seductively and wanting that I was trying to hold myself back from just 'claiming' her mine. "so… be careful, if you don't follow my rules, you'll be punished…" again this damn godly voice of hers! But she's not that bad when she's so close to me. She didn't wear make up but her lips were pink, almost red and cheeks a little pink. And those bruises are nearly gone but should say she still looked so damn hot with them! Independently I checked her out mentally and when she said the last word, mist part of me wanted to be 'punished by her'. And here goes my spoilt but pleasing imagination rating 18+. "…hormonal pervert." A very nice way to snap me out of thoughts. She went away and sat on chair in front of a table and gestured ne to sit too. Are we going to start this reading thong now?
"Wait, now?"
"No, after 2centurues! We don't have any time to waste! So get your lazy ass on this seat, right now!" Feeling pissed of talking I decided to do as she said. I nearly fainted when I opened the damn book. Suddenly my phone buzzed. It was Sky who was looking for me. Of course, the visit! But I guess I can't go. I texted him. "Put your phone here." Suddenly Stella said showing an empty place on the desk. "Oh, come on!" "I said put your phone here! It's distracting you!"
"What about you?" she got her phone and put it aside. Then she looked at me with her demanding look. I obeyed. Hell knows how much time passed! I got really tired and hungry. Suddenly my phone buzzed again. It was mom. "Answer." Stella said after having a glance on my phone. "But you said…" "That doesn't refer to family members." I don't get this girl. One moment she's like a devil and another moment she plays a caring role! Anyway, I answered my phone. "Mom, don't worry, I'm in the library. After 15min…" "30 minutes!" this girl just plays with my nerves. "After 30 minutes will be at home."
I got home tired like a shit! Besides I had those 5 books with me! That girl is a Satana! I hate her! "Brandon! Where were you?" mom asked as I she opened the door. "Learning history with a psycho girl!" seeing my mom's expression lighting up I said. "No, mom it wasn't a date! I will never date such a girl! She does not know how to act, to speak, she's… urgh! Why she is a girl! I would love to punch that face!" "Calm down Brandon! Go and change and come to have something to eat." I followed mom's advice and got upstairs to my room and threw myself on my bed. I screwed the chance to see Annett today and all because of that damn girl!
"I hate you, Solarian, hate you!"
