I cleaned my face and wore my glasses as I opened my locker only for a paper to fall at my feet.
I picked it up curiously and it read, ‘From Charles,’ making my heart constrict painfully.
I opened it with shaky hands as a tear slipped down my face.
Dear Camilla,
The first day I set my eyes on you in the classroom, I knew behind those pair of eyeglasses lies a very beautiful and special girl. I’m so heartbroken writing this letter to you and I want to say sorry. It’s such grief, I had to leave without getting to say goodbye and see that lovely and cute face of yours one more time.
I didn’t wish to leave but my parents got angry especially my mum when the school authority reported I got into a fight.
My mum made sure of it, that I was transferred to a farther school, I tried to convince her and with the support of my dad who doesn’t want his reputation to be spoilt by me saw it to be a good idea.
Please, don’t put this blame on yourself, it’s not your fucking fault. I just couldn’t stand there and watch them humiliate you like a piece of trash or not a human, you deserved a whole more than that.
Camilla, you’re a strong girl and I don’t want you to allow anyone, I mean anyone to ride you around.
Stand your ground for once and show them, you’re not who they think you are.
I will miss your smile that captivated my heart and I do hope we meet again.
Here’s my contact, please do save it and send me a message, thereby we can be in touch with one another.
+1 (346) 657 8974
Take good care of yourself, love you.
Charles.
A little smile formed on my lips as I folded the letter neatly.
I was about to take my books for the next class since those witches saw to it, I missed English class.
I turned around about to go when I was slammed to the locker, making everything in my hands fall on the floor.
I groaned as I was stuck in between the locker.
My heart raced, when I perceive that familiar cologne, it was Lucas.
I looked slowly from his chest to his face as his gaze darkened as we made contact.
My body got tensed but not in any feelings, this was fear, I was scared.
“Why didn’t you fucking attend the class?” He barked like he was expecting me.
Who’s is he to dictate whether I was in class or not?
If not for your crazy girlfriend, I would never miss my class.
“It’s none of your business!” I said coldly.
His gaze darkened as he pressed his body closer to mine and I breathed deeply.
“What did you fucking say?” He growled leaning closer to me and I placed my hands on his chest trying to stop him immediately.
“Whether I’m in class or not, it’s none of your business,” This time I said it with anger lacing my voice.
Tears spilled from my face and I removed my eyeglasses wiping them away as he looked at me intimately.
“Who did this to you?” He asked suddenly staring at my cheek as his eyes sparked fury.
I stared blankly at him, trying my best not to answer him.
“I won’t ask this again, who fucking slapped you?” He sounded so dangerous.
“Like you care, Lucas” I chuckled bitterly while trying to hold back the tears that want to fall as I bit on my bottom lip.
His gaze trailed to my lips as his jaw clenched so hard like he’s restraining himself.
“No one is allowed to inflict any pains on you except me, I want to do that on you, torment and shatter you all by myself,” He grabbed my wrist firmly while I struggled to get free from him.
“I guess you should know who did this to me, why are you pretending like you don’t know,” I fired at him.
His gaze only darkened the more and luckily the bell rang at the moment.
We stood there staring into each other eyes, getting drowned by them.
“It’s payback time,” A girl squealed as she brought out her phone, only then did I know that students had gathered around us.
“Yeah! For having the guts slapping Lucas,” Another said.
I sighed, closing my eyes, I don’t want to face this, I’m not strong enough.
“Please, Lucas, I’m begging you to let me go peacefully,” I begged but he trapped me the more by pulling me to his body.
“Hey man! What’s up, wanna teach little nerdy a lesson,” Ben asked as he tapped Lucas at the back while he gave me a smirk.
Lucas ignored him and kept on staring into my eyes and I began to get uncomfortable.
“Pleas-”
“You shouldn’t be with this pig,” Jenny appeared with her puppies with a disgusted look.
She cast me a death glare like, didn’t I warn you to stay away from my boyfriend?
Lucas snapped his head to Jenny as his eyes burned with anger.
“How dare you?” He asked anger emanating from his voice.
Jenny looked taken back but she smiled sweetly moving closer to Lucas.
“What did I do wrong, sweetheart?” She asked innocently, while everyone just kept quiet watching us.
What did you do wrong?
Such a devil…
Lucas left me alone as I sighed feeling relieved only to be shocked as he charged at Jenny.
“Don’t you ever call me sweetheart!” He growled as everyone gasped.
Jenny looked shocked as she became frightened.
Well, yeah Lucas is the bad guy of the school and even the ants pass a different route when they see him coming.
I don’t know why he makes everyone scared of him.
Feeling satisfied, I gave Jenny a smirk but she was too scared to reply while her friends just bowed their heads lowly.
I packed my books from the floor hurriedly and got out of sight in a jiffy as the students whispered among themselves.
I glanced back to see Lucas dragging Jenny as the students started going to their various classes murmuring.
I felt a little pity for Jenny, cause Lucas looks like someone who’s about to get someone killed.
I wondered why he’s acting that way.
Or is it the slap?
‘No one is allowed to inflict any pains on you except me, I want to do that on you, torment and shatter you all by myself’ His words kept ringing in my ears as I shuddered.

Lucas POV.
I dragged Jenny aggressively to the empty class and shut the door with a loud bang while she trembled looking so scared.
I was burning with rage…
How dare she slap her beautiful face and imprint that crooked fingers of hers on her face.
No one is allowed to hurt her and I began boiling with rage as a picture of Camilla in tears flashed through my face.
In a long stride, I pinned Jenny to the wall as I glared at her.
“Why did you fucking slap her?” I growled dangerously as she flapped her eyelashes looking at me with surprise.
“Is that the reason you dragged me here?” She asked irately.
Now, that’s what I hate about Jenny, always increasing the fire in me.
I grabbed her hair furiously as she grimaced from the hard grip.
I don’t even know why I stand a minute with her, she’s so clingy and not like she’s my girlfriend which can never happen.
We’re just fuck mate…
“I won’t ask you again,” I warned dangerously making my grip on her hair tightened.
“I wanted her to stay away from you, you’re my boyfriend and I couldn’t take it when I noticed what you did to her in the boy’s bathroom,” She cried.
I chuckled stunned by her stupidness.
“And who said you’re my girlfriend?” I asked mockingly while she blushed embarrassed.
“Then… What am I to you?” She asked with a shaky voice.
“Nothing! Not like, I’ve asked you out before, don’t get things wrong because I allow you to hang out with me, we’re nothing but fuck mate,” I growled to her face while she gasped with hurt on her face.
“Do you like her?” Jenny asked while I stared at her blankly even though the question raced in my heart.
I’m not even sure of the feelings, I have towards Camilla.
“That’s none of your business about who I fucking like, if you ever lay a finger on her again, consider yourself dead,” I emphasized mostly on the last word.
Jenny looked at me with wide eyes like she couldn’t believe what she heard.
I glared at her for some seconds before I released my grip on her making her fall on the ground.
“She’s so ugly, you can never stand her!” Jenny spat angrily as she sobbed furiously.
I fisted my hands and released them immediately, I walked out of the classroom before, I regret whatever thing I would do.
