Book:His Burning Obsession Published:2024-8-26

“OMG! She’s too fat,” I heard someone say behind me.
“And ugly too,” Another hissed.
I was in the girl’s dress room, with my other classmates as they eyed me hatefully, but I didn’t care a bit as I ignored them totally.
I don’t know why Mr. Joe would show up at this moment, at least he should have waited till I’ve graduated from this crazy school.
We haven’t done exercises for a year now and my sports clothes were so tight that they fitted like a second skin just that my top was still a little bit longer to cover my buttocks.
But the shorts were just too tight and short for my liking.
“Oh my my! Look who we have here,” I heard Susan come up to me as I tried my best to ignore her.
“Jeez! What the hell are you eating, your buttocks are swollen,” Bella laughed as the other girls in the room laughed too.
“And it’s about to burst from those shorts she’s wearing, “Susan cracked causing another wave of laughter to hit through the room.
“She’s nothing but a fat stupid pig, who eats all the food that comes her way,” Jenny retorted as she gave me a mean look, moving closer to where I was.
I glared at her, I’m not fat but they were too blind to see that, I wouldn’t blame them.
“Where the hell were you with my boyfriend?” She asked eyeing me from head to toe.
“I thought your so-called boyfriend asked you to mind your business,” I sassed at her.
“Well, he’s not here and I demand to know,” She gritted.
“I’m sorry, I don’t seem to remember where we went to,” I said folding my arms across my chest.
“You will, by the time I’m done with you,” she growled and I moved back wondering what she meant by that.
Susan pushed me to the front where Bella was, I didn’t know she was at my back and before I could compose myself, Bella pushed me aggressively to where Jenny was.
Do I look like a passing ball now?
“What the hell?” I snapped glaring at the two stupid friends that sneered at me.
“The hell is that we could all team up here and beat the crap out of you!” Jenny cracked while the girls laughed surrounding me.
I was beginning to get scared, I had forgotten I had no friend here who could stand up for me, so it would be better I tell her the truth than let some group of crazy-ass girls beat the shit out of me.
“Okay fine, I will tell you,” I succumbed glaring at Jenny who wore the satisfaction she always wins.
“Oh, poor Nerdy finally surrendered, too afraid she’ll get beaten up,” Jenny chanted stupidly at me.
“H-He took me to his home,” I dropped the bombshell and Jenny’s face went blank as she tried to process what I just said.
“Wait! Jenny, I thought you said Lucas doesn’t take girls to his house,” Bella said surprised staring at Jenny before glancing at me.
What? You mean Lucas hasn’t brought a girl to his home, not even Jenny.
“You haven’t even stepped in his home, Jenny,” Susan gasped in astonishment as I stared at Jenny who just froze on a spot.
“She’s lying, Lucas can never take a poor slut like her to his home,” Jenny shot angrily as her eyes became red.
“Did you enter his room?” Bella asked looking more interested in me.
“Yes!” I responded.
“Woah! What did you two do in the room?” Susan asked getting more curious.
I’m so stupid, I shouldn’t have told them Lucas took me to his home, now I’ll be causing more disaster to myself.
“Nothing, we did nothing,” I stuttered avoiding their gazes.
“Everyone leave!” Jenny shouted as all the girls in the room flinched back.
She glared at every one of them before they evacuated the room.
“But we’re beginning to enjoy the conversation,” Bella pouted and so did Susan.
“You two should leave also,” Jenny said trying to calm her nerves as Bella and Susan scoffed at me before they walked out of the dressing room leaving me and this bitch alone.
“You think, you could make a scene by telling everyone you went to Lucas’s house,” Jenny chuckled as she paced front and back.
“You asked to know where I was with him and I said the truth, what more did you expect?” I asked suspecting every one of her steps.
“And do you think I would believe that Lucas never takes a girl to his home, and I will be the only one to step in his home by the time comes,” she retorted chuckling to herself.
“Then I guess you’re late!” I smirked, I don’t know the demon that came over me, to tease her.
“Aren’t you ashamed of whoring around and stealing other people’s boyfriends?” She asked dangerously, taking her steps closer to me as I moved back.
“I didn’t steal anyone’s boyfriend, you should ask your so-called boyfriend why he’s always frustrating my life, why he never let me have peace of my own life, always trapping me against the lockers, why he keeps staring at me all the time!” I fired angrily, it was my turn to be furious cause I don’t understand why he’s doing all this to me and here she was running her mouth accusing me of something I didn’t do.
“Don’t you think there’s more to his bully to me?” I asked myself more than asking her.
Jenny looked surprised and hurt before she masked it away with a scowl.
“Listen up bitch! He’s doing all that to you because of his pure hatred for you, he would never like you not even love you, so stay away from him,” she snickered while I just stared at her.
I felt like punching her crazy mouth but decided against it.
“This is the last warning I would be giving you… stay away from my boyfriend cause I will make you suffer for it,” she threatened as fire streamed from her eyes before she walked out of the dressing room.
I sighed and tied the lace of my canvas and went out of the room.
I walked along the hallway to the gym class as I could feel a lot of eyes piercing my skin.
I finally got to the gym class and opened the door avoiding the blazing gaze my mates shot at me.
I glanced to my side and saw Lucas staring at me as his jaw twitched.
“I hate you!” I muttered angrily to myself before looking away.
“Okay, girls and boys, it’s time to warm up and we’ll be playing dodgeball,” Mr. Joe announced as he bounced forward like a wrestler.
Well, he does look like a wrestler with large muscles arms, and packs that showed in his long sleeve body hug top.
Why dodgeball? Is there no exercise we can do apart from that one?
“I want you to pair up in two groups!” Mr. Joe announced and everyone started choosing their partners.
Well, it seems I’m the only one who didn’t want to join a group. Jenny was on Lucas’s group as she held his hand like he was going to vanish in thin air.
“Hey, nerdy with the big ass come to join our group!” A guy from my class whose name is Rashmond called as the rest in the group started laughing.
I glared at him before I walked up to them and stayed beside Tracey, a funny girl in my class but we don’t really talk that much.
Well, who wants to associate themselves with a nerd.
Bella, Susan, Ben, and Jenny were in Lucas’s group with some other jocks that hangs out with them.
“Here’s the plan guys, Once you pick up a ball, you have to throw it within 5 seconds. Make sure not to throw the balls too hard or you may hurt someone! Also, don’t let the balls from the opposing group touch any of us,” Rashmond coached.
“Yeah, sure!” We all echoed as we joined our palms together and flew it in the air.
“Let the game begin!” Mr. Joe announced as he blew the whistle.
Everything was going on smoothly as I tried my best in dodging the balls, I threw the ball and it hit Bella on her leg, making me gasp.
“Out, Bella,” Mr. Joe chuckled as Bella glared at me before she walked out from her group.
“Crazy nerd!” She muttered before going to seat on the bench.
The game continued and my group succeeded in taking out most of Lucas’s group.
“Excuse me! I need to take this call, would be back soon, go on with the game and don’t hurt yourselves,” Mr. Joe announced holding his phone to his ear before making his way to the exit.
“Hey! Nerdy catch the ball!” Tracey shouted as I caught the ball with my hands panting heavily.
“That was so close!” I muttered and continued racing as I glanced at Jenny who gave me an evil smirk.
Things were going on well, when I felt a sharp pain in my stomach, I coughed clutching my hands on my stomach as another ball hit my back as a loud scream escaped my mouth making me fall on the floor.
A stinging tear dropped from my ears as I held on to my stomach.
The other groups were laughing, pointing at me.
I saw Jenny looking at me with a satisfied smirk as she gave a boy from their group a high five.
I knew she planned it for me.
I bit on my lips furiously trying to suppress the aculeate pains on both my stomach and back.
“Are you okay?” Tracey asked as she ran over to me, offering a hand.
“Yeah!” I croup with a grimaced expression as I grabbed her hands trying to stand up.
She smiled slightly at me before I left her hands trying to walk on my own.
I hadn’t taken more than three steps when an excruciating pain hit me hard in my stomach as I fell on my knees making me groan.
Whoever threw that ball, did it on purpose to injure me.
“What the hell did you do to her?” I heard a familiar voice roared as my gaze went immediately in that direction.
A gasp escaped my mouth when a jaw ripping blow hit hard on Damien’s face as he fell to the ground as everyone stared at him in shock.
OMG! Lucas…
