Dyson's POV
The night when we accidently kissed, the night when I realized that we were more than just best friend. It was just my hunch but the kiss somehow reminded me of Lola? No it couldn't, could it? I couldn't shake the thought out of my head, and so I decided to hang out with April, as a friend, son that I wouldn't think of it again and it worked somehow. It helped me get rid of the thought but the feeling inside me was still there and never faded away. It had been two months and another boring day of school, but with April around me, I felt more comfortable then ever before and not one single wrong thing I had done. During the break, I came up to my locker to prepare and arrange my books until I turned to see Troy and rest of his friend.
"What's up guys" I said as I closed the locker but they glared at me which made ma a little bit worried.
"Where have you been for last two months?" Jarred angrily asked me when they hadn't see me since the first day of school until I became friend with them and hung out together.
"Hanging out with a friend" I gently said while staring blankly at them.
"Well then, who is this 'friend' of yours?" Troy casually asked me as I suddenly began sweating like crazy. Four weeks ago during the break, Troy came up to me and warned me not to hang out with Brady's girlfriend April but I neglected his advice and hung out with her anyway. But if I told him about hanging out with her, it would be kingdom come to me.
"Please don't tell us that this 'friend' of yours is April?" Susan pleadingly asked me as I sweated even more until I spoke up.
"April?! Who's April? I don't know her or what is she look like?" I crazily lied to them as they shockingly stared at me.
"We trust you this time. But if you lie to us again, you know what's coming to you" Troy threatened me as the gang left to somewhere. I sighed in relief but eventually someone cleared their throat as I turned around to see April glaring at me.
"Hi April, wh-" I said but she cut me off.
"Did you do this?" She angrily asked me as I noticed her apparently getting a new haircut.
"Did you get your hair cut?" I complimented her hair but she still glared at me.
"So you did it, didn't you?" She angrily asked me again as I confused about what she said. She rolled her eyes as she handed the scissors to me and the note with it as I read it to her because she demanded when I looked up.
I hope you like your new haircut *laugh sarcastically*
Dyson
"Wait, I didn't do this" I angrily said as I was surprised by the content of the note but she rolled her eyes again.
"Oh really, then why your name was in it?" She argued as I tried to find a reason for her to understand but I got nothing.
"We will talk about this after school" She angrily walked away as I held my composure by trying not to punch the locker or yell at her. This was the first time we fought over something that I didn't know about.
"Great, this day couldn't get any worse" I complained and went off to somewhere to calm myself.
-After School-
April's POV
I was so angry that Dyson wouldn't admit that he had cut my hair yesterday night. I thought that if he had told me he did it because I wanted to have a new haircut, I would have been laughing right now, but he had to play dumb with me as if he was pretended not to do it. I was still angry at him as he pleadingly stared at me during our classes and lunch break, as if he tried to beg me to forgive me. After school time, I was intended to talk with Dyson about it but Brady insisted me on meeting behind the spectator seating to tell me something and I decided to go having a little chat with him. Arriving behind the spectator seating, I waited as Brady eventually came and glared at me.
"Where have you been last two months?" He angrily asked me as I rolled my eyes. Was that really what he wanted to talk to me?!
"Hanging out with my friend, Dyson" I hurriedly said so that I could have time to talk to Dyson but Brady clutched his fist and glared fiercely at me.
"So you abandoned me for that guy? That guy is nothing but a criminal and wannabe punk. Go out with me and you will be happier" I was furious at him for not only did he want me to love him after those two months neglecting me, but he also insulted my best friend Dyson.
"We're just friend and he's not a criminal or wannabe punk. And you never pay any attention to me whenever your friends are around. Face it Brady, you are nothing more than a jock with one only single thing in you mind and it's you getting famous. And last thing, we're over" I ranted at him and broke up with him as he became more and more furious and his fist clutched tighter which made me scared a little.
"It's that what you wanted then" He furiously said and then slapped me hard on my cheek. I fell down and screamed in pain as he grabbed my neck and held me down. He lowered his head down at him with rage filled eyes as I felt fear overwhelming my feelings. I tried to pull his arm with my two hands but his grasp was so tight that he tried to suffocate me as I didn't have any strength left.
"Please Brady, just let me go" I tried to beg him as he raised his arm high.
"This is why nobody makes me angry" He said and then slapped me continuously back and forth as his slaps got more and more painful. He stopped to slap me to held me up and throw me onto the ground. I tried to pick myself up but my whole body was too tired from grabbing his arm to do it. I turned around to see Brady was right behind. I called out loud for help but no one responded as he dragged me along. He held me high by grabbing my neck. I looked into his eyes begged for mercy but he was so raging that he wanted to finish it now.
"Any last words" I didn't speak as he was about to swing his fist at me but then…
-Meanwhile Before That-
Dyson's POV
Waiting for nearly half of an hour later, I couldn't see her anywhere and so I relaxed on my bike and kept on waiting until someone called me. I got up to see Troy and rest of his gang here.
"Can we talk to you?" Troy asked as the other looked at me with sad expression as I they felt guilty about something. I nodded in agreement as they all sighed.
"Look Dyson, we are sorry" Troy apologized? I was confused at first but I thought if this had to do with what happened between me and April.
"Sorry for what?" I casually asked.
"Sorry about our prank" I immediately clicked when Susan apologized for the prank?
"Wait, your prank?" I asked them as Jarred came up to me.
"Well, we intended to piss Brady off by cutting April's hair but eventually it failed" Jarred explained the prank of their but I laughed out loud as Jarred and others looked at me.
"And it failed because you write my name on the note you left behind with the scissors" I jokingly asked him as Jarred and others were surprised.
"How did you know?" George shockingly asked as I chuckled a bit.
"Rule one of doing a prank. Never leave the evidence behind when you are doing a prank" I reminded as Jarred slapped the side of his head and insulted himself.
"Wait a minute, how did you know about the scissors and the note?" Roxanne asked me and before I could answer, I heard a scream.
"Did you hear that guys?" George spoke up after hearing the scream as other looked around to find that sound came from.
"I think it-" Troy said but I cut him off by silencing him and the others so that I could hear clearly.
"Shhhh! Quiet down, I'm listening" The gang agreed to stay quiet for me to hear the sound. I waited for the sound to come back, but it wouldn't… Until the word "Help!" was called out in a familiar voice.
"April!" I shouted her name as the others were surprised. I immediately got off my bike and ran to the direction of the sound even before the others could ask. I ran as fast as I could as the sound getting clearer and clearer, it eventually led to the football field. I looked around to see if anybody was here until I spotted Brady's shadow on the ground. I quickly ran behind the spectator seating and saw him strangling April.
"Hey, Brady" I called out loud so that I could get his attention as I ran and clutched my fist.
"Wh-" I sucker punched him as he flew toward the wall of the spectator seating and dropped April onto the ground.
"Are you okay, April?" She nodded although being slapped continuously as her cheeks getting redder and redder in pain. I helped her get up as she hugged me tightly and sobbed. I hugged her back as she said while sobbing on pain.
"I'm so glad that you are here, Dyson. Without you, I didn't wh-" I cut her off and tried to calm down.
"Shhhhh! I'm here now. There's nothing to worry about, Brady wouldn't hurt you anymore" I comforted her as she pushed me back and looked at me with few tears still dangling on her face.
"Why did you come back for me?" She sobbingly asked me as I wiped the tears off her face.
"That because I'm your friend… A friend in need is a friend indeed" I encouragingly said as she happily smiled and hugged me again as if she was finally free from the pain and suffering that Brady had done to her earlier. I pulled her back and looked at her and I hadn't noticed how cute she was with that short haircut Jarred made for her.
"I think you look cute with short hair" I complimented her as she immediately blushed despite her cheeks were already red.
"Great Queen of England! What's wrong with you?" George frightfully yelled out as I turned around to see the gang was already here.
"Are you okay?" Susan asked April as she quickly nodded.
"Who did this to you girl?" Roxanne asked as she motioned her to unconscious Brady. Troy and Jarred came up to him and were surprised.
"Did you do this to him?" Troy surprisingly asked me as I simply looked at him.
"Not only did you knock him unconsciously but you also dislocated his lower jaw. We didn't know you could punch that hard" I shrugged at him as neither did I know that I could punch that hard.
"Look, we are very sorry about misunderstanding you" Susan apologized as April nodded forgivably.
"And sorry about cutting your hair" Jarred apologized.
"That's okay. It looks like I owe somebody an apology" April said and looked at me. We stared at each other until Roxanne suddenly pulled her away from me.
"But first, we better take you to the nurse office" Roxanne led her to the nurse office with Susan along with them.
"And come to the mall with us… What about you, Dyson? Wanna come?" George asked as I simply nodded and rest of our boys waited for them. Few minutes later, April, along with Roxanne and Susan, came back with bandages on her face but still she looked so cute. While she was there, I took her scooter out to save her energy.
"Better?" I asked her regarding to her health condition.
"Well, I guess" She confidently said as others were in Troy's car as he said out loud.
"Aright then, let's go guys" I hopped onto my bike and started the engine as April did the same.
"Well, that's was quite a recovery there" I sarcastically complimented as she rolled her eyes. I chuckled a bit and noticed she wasn't there until she called me as I turned around to see her was ahead of me.
"The last one there is rotten pickle" She teased and challenged as I smiled devilishly at her.
"You wish" I accepted as we both sped up and raced to the mall leaving the gang behind. After that, I gained my trust back from April and the gang but I didn't shake off the feeling I had inside me. Is this somehow freed me from the past had haunted ever since?
