“What is wrong with you?”
“I said you should leave us alone, I want to talk to her!” He growled at Delvin
“She is just you friend and nothing more, so why are you treating her like she’s your girl?”
Delvin scoffed shaking his head. “Why do you care Lexy?”
“What if she is not my girl?”
“Why are you interested in our friendship? Huh?”
I sighed cleaning my eyes with the back of my hand.
“Guys stop please” I begged softly, I noticed other students were entering our class to watch what was going on.
“What if I tell you she is my girl?” He fired back at Lexy with his arms crossed.
Lexy chuckled, “you know that’s not true delvin, she doesn’t love you”. He smirked looking at me
” So who did she love? You?”I Delvin smirked scornfully.
“Is Anita not beautiful and enough for you, that you still go ahead toying with Kelsi feelings and acting all innocent?”
“I know you damn love her! You love her Lexy! You gave her her first kiss in your house!” he screamed pointing finger at him
Everyone in the class gasped!
I looked at Anita and saw how shocked she was with her hand on herchest.
Lexy did not move.
Delvin continued…. “The little moments we were friends, Lexy who do you always talk about?
“It is always Kelsi! So why running under Anita shadow to hide your true feelings? Why can’t you man up and tell her what you feel?” He shook his head.
Lexy scoffed.
“You don’t have any right to talk to me like that, what made you think because I kissed her means iam Inlove with her? Huh? Iknow you love her too, what’s the pretense about? Huh? Trying to be her knight in shining armor?” Lexy fired back at delvin
Delvin chuckled ” I love Kelsi as a friend, iam inlove with Rita”
“What?” Stephanie screamed.
“Yes! Rita’ the girl you guys bullied that day, and Kelsi knows about it, if you ever lay a finger on her, I will make sure you regret the day you knew me” he shunned Stephanie, turning to Lexy.
“But you Lexy, Iam very disappointed in you, I see it in your eyes, the way you look at her in class. The way you smile and your eyes lit up when she walked into the class yet you couldn’t even speak up, you hurt her! Bullied her! Yet she still wants you! I’m not jealous, iam just mad that the person she has feelings for sees her as trash and is ready to trample on her anyway anytime, You don’t deserve her, you don’t” Delvin spat out, walking closer to Lexy.
” This is my last warning to you Lexy, stay away from Kelsi or we both will be expelled from this school” turning back to me, hr forcefully dragged me out of the class.
I couldn’t stop crying, I finally revealed the truth to everyone and even confess my feelings to Lexy before everyone yet delvin still stood up for me.
“Iam sorry delvin” I apologized.
“It is okay Kelsi nobody would be able to bully you again” he hugged me tight patting my back to console me.
*******
It was still raining at 6:45pm in the evening when I heard a loud Knock on my door.
“Who could that be? I stared at the door. Mum is not yet back and I know the rain had delay her from returning early, and I still don’t remember anyone promising to come see me later in the day.
I walked slowly towards the door, and and asked,. ‘ who is that?
There was no reply.
Few minutes later the knock came again loudly, I opened and saw Lexy standing outside with hands in his jeans pocket
Looking good, too good to be a bully.
I sighed. “What are you doing here? How did you know my place?”
“Good evening to you too Kelsi, will you invite me in?” He replied with a smile that melt my heart.
I looked at him trying to figure out why exactly he was in my place this evening, not minding the heavy down pour and what his mission was.
“Hmm…. Okay come in” I shifted creating space for him to enter the room.
“Thanks” he pulled off his shirt showing his fitted top and bulging muscle underneath.
I tore my eyes away from his tempting body.
“What are you doing here Lexy? I drew nearer. “How did you know my place? Who told you I stay here?”
My hearbeat was sync with the sound of the rumbling thunder outside.
“I came to talk to you” his voice was soft with seriousness.
I lifted my head to look at him and scoffed, “Talk? Talk about what Lexy?”
“Us, I want to talk about us”
“There is nothing to discuss Lexy’ I frowned opening the door for him to leave.
“Please just leave quietly, iam not in the mood to discuss anything about ‘us’ I have had enough of your attitude and Ill intentions towards me, let me stay in peace okay? Please leave now” I showed him the way out.
Anger was rising from my inside, but I kept it in check.
“Kelsi’ please listen to me” he held my hands softly.
“please just hear me out, I didn’t come all the way from my house under the rain for no just reason and iam not leaving till we talk”
His hands rubbed his face slowly.
I knew he was not in school today, I could see bag circles underneath his eyes.
