I ignored her. I made up my mind to talk to them. Killian, Mateo and Maxim with their perfect bodies leaned against the wall and smirked.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you,” Lisa said.
I swallowed she added, “If I were you will just keep things civil please." I turned to her and said what's wrong with them why do they hate me so much. Why did the hot girls hate me? Honestly?
"Yes honestly."
"I really don't know."
As much as they hated me, I was drawn to them.
I thought about the night on the beach.
The way Maxim made me climax?
Hell forget that girl,” I whispered underneath my breath. I will not take it anymore.
That's the moment Killian walked towards me, God he looked like a hot American male model.
Matteo got up too and ran his fingers through his flouncy beautiful hair.
I thought oh my God, they are absolutely gorgeous.
But I told myself, Bella they hurt you. You need to let them know what they did was not right.
I walked up to Matteo.
He smirked mischievously and exchange words with Maxim.
He slid away from the wall and walked towards me and then he wrapped his hands around my waist acting as though he wanted to kiss me.
He ran his fingers up and down my curves.
I gasped.
I couldn't believe he was doing this in public everyone could see us.
But he didn't care.
He whispered, “Did you have something you want to tell us?"
I slid his hands off and said, "I actually wanted to talk to Maxim. I have something to say to him."
I spun around and turned to Maxim.
Maxim smirked and walked towards us.
He's eyes narrowed on mine.
We both knew we shared something special that night, at least I did.
I thought, Why is he doing this. My friends want me to stay away from him but why?
He smirked mischievously and walked circles around me while Matteo chuckled and stepped back.
I took in a deep breath and exhaled.
Maxim moved closer like a lion looking for its prey.
He placed his hands on my hips and pulled me close so I could feel every inch of his length pushing up on my thighs.
I gasped.
He spun me around so my back was against his toned chest.
I gasped and said, “Don't do that?"
He whispered into my ears his warm breath caressed in my neck, “Why slu? What shouldn't I do?"
He slid his hands forward almost cupping my breasts in front of everyone.
I gasped.
he spun me around yet again, we were face to face. I winced and stared into his deep dark eyes.
I said, “Why do you call me slu, it is not right,” The tears welled up in my eyes. He smirked mischievously, “It is just a joke relax.”
I can't believe this was happening.
That's the moment Mr Jeffrey the janitor walked by.
He said, “Is everything all right here?"
Maxim shrugged. He released his grip on me.
He pulled back and said, “Everything's fine here Jeffrey. I don't see any problem, do you?"
The man grimaced.
He said,“You might think you own everyone here. But I hope you have not forgotten what happened last year.”
Matteo, Killian looked away and then Maxim gritted his teeth.
I thought, oh my God what happened last year?
There's a dark secret in this place something's not right? Why is everyone keeping the secret away from me?
“Fine keep it that way,” Mr Jeffrey said and with that he walked away
Once Mr. Jeffrey walked away, Maxim leaned closer, he grabbed my arm and tightened his grip.
I winced and pleaded with him to stop.
He pulled me close, my body pressed up on him. I gasped realizing he was clearly aroused.
He pushed up close to me, so my nipples got crushed on his masculine chest. He slid his hands down and in between my skirt.
His fingers slowly worked their way down to my pulsing went this.
He growled into my ear, “For someone who doesn't want this you are freaking wet?”
Everyone laughed.
I pushed him off and said, “Its not yours and it will never be."
Killian and Matteo chuckled.
Matteo said, “Someone is really feisty. I don’t think you will have this one Maxim“
Maxim shrugged and said, “I already did and it was okay.”
And with that he slid his hand out, his girlfriend Helen walked up like a puppy and intertwined her fingers in his.
I sighed. This is insane.
She said, "Maxim darling."
I swallowed. I assumed she was his girlfriend after all why would she call him darling if not?
She purred, “Are you playing games with the slu? You know, she works for free, just like someone in the family."
I frowned and asked, “Are you out of your mind Helen?”
I can’t believe I played into her hands but that is what happened.
Helen said, “You are about to swim with the sharks and you will not survive.”
I swallowed and said, “What are you talking about?”
That's the moment I spun around. What I saw was shocking.
My eyes widened.
I cried out, “Why are you all doing this?"
I walked towards the inscription.
That is the moment I realized I could not stay in this school any longer. They are just so vicious. This is just plain evil!
11
I gasped the moment, I stepped closer to the inscription.
I swallowed and noticed the graffiti painted all over my locker and the size of the wall with the word SLU. I pushed past the students and walked towards my locker.
I thought, “Oh my God should I even open it? What’s behind the door?”
My heart thumped fast, my stomach was in knots. I took in a deep breath and opened the door. And immediately papers fell right out onto the floor.
Each student scrambled to pick up a page each from the sea of papers strewn all over the floor.
That’s the moment a male student read a page clearly from my diary out loud:
“I don’t know if I’ll end up like my mother or someone else. I do not understand why I am still alive. I bet there’s another world out there far away from this painful life. I want to figure things out. I want to move on to another realm. I’m sorry to everyone who loves me but I don’t love myself enough. I need to leave this world to make love happen.”
I swallowed and thought oh my God—
Someone broke into my locker earlier and found my old diary.
Whoever made copies of the document placed it in my locker.
The tears welled up in my eyes as I turned around to see the students laughing. And then once again a teacher walked up towards us.
The minute he walked up, he asked, “What’s all this?”.
That’s the moment Jessica walked up and said, “We don’t know, Mr. Smith, but she seems to be very creative or something I guess she has no problem destroying school property.”
I shrugged and said, “I have nothing to do with this.”
Jessica stared directly into my eyes.
She said, “Oh no, Bella, you had everything to do with this. Don’t act like it’s the first time you’ve done something like this. You said it yourself, it will upset you if anyone found out.”
I gasped.
I said nothing to her about anything.
That’s the moment the teacher said, “Bella go see Ms. Price right now in the office.”
I gasped and thought, “Will this ever end?”
I frowned.
But then I did as he requested.
I picked up the papers still on the floor.
And then I looked up at the girls laughing.
I nodded and grabbed the
paper and stood in her face and said I’m glad you love my writing, I might add more pages to my diary, you don’t want to know what I have in mind.
Helen shocked to see that I responded that way smirked.
I turned around to walk towards Ms. Price’s office.
Helen said, “Looks like you got what you deserved. I saw you trying to get Maxim. You do not understand Maxim and I love each other. Plus, we are both from the elite class. He’s mine forever. I think this price has some words for you. You better hurry now or you will miss your prize.”
I got so mad.
I wanted to turn around and say something.
But I did not.
I would not her get the upper hand.
I heard her scoff behind me.
But I didn’t care. Then she reached for me and placed a hand on my shoulder.
That did it.
I pushed her hand off me.
I couldn’t take the taunts any longer.
I turned around and pushed her, she stumbled a little but stayed on her feet.
I turned and kept on walking while ignoring her taunts.
Suddenly Ms. Price walked up towards us.
My eyes widened.
She growled.
“In my office right now Bella!”
I swallowed.
oh my God—
Did things just get worse?
I hurried into her office and suddenly hyperventilated. I
wanted out of this freaking school.
I didn’t want to be here any longer.
That’s the moment Ms. Price said, “Are you okay Bella?”
I nodded.
“I have no choice but to send you home I think you need to go home and think about what you did today. When you have your issues sorted out. We might reconsider and let you back in.”
I raised an eyebrow.
I said to her, “You don’t understand. They are…”
Ms. Price cut me off and said, “Bella enough you may go now.” I nodded and turned and walked out of her office as fast as I could. I called my mom for a ride.
She said, “School is not over, why are you out early?”
I told her I would never return to the school.
She asked, “Did something happen? I’m headed there.”
And with that moments later she arrived to pick me up.
I said to her, “They hate me.”
She said, “Who?”
I said, “The hot guys’ everyone in the school. It’s like they want me gone.”
She gasped and said, “I expect you to stand up for yourself.” I shrugged and said, “What do you suggest I do? Mom?”
She sighed.
Then she turned on the ignition and said perhaps you need to be nice to them. Stay out their way or something. I don’t know how you guys worked his days.”
I turned and looked out the window
I wished she wouldn’t just blow me off like that.
I sighed.
I worried about my diary.
Who had it? Was it Killian? Or Matteo? Maxim?
Or one of their girlfriends?
Where are my friends when I need them?
What’s going on with my crew Ethan, Susan, and Lisa?
I leaned back against the chair and just try not to think about it.
The moment we arrived home, I pushed past my mom and hurried to my room.
I thought get a job Bella and runway.
I am eighteen, I can work wherever I want.
I am an adult now.
But then I changed my mind.
I said to myself, “I guess that’s not the solution.”
I turned on my computer and browse over to a website.
Then I decided.
I will try homeschooling.
I thought, “I can do that instead. They will not see me again at least until college which is less than a year away.”
I thought I will tell mom right away.
I hurried down the stairs to find my mother standing next to my stepfather.
He smirked in anger and said, “What happened at school today? You don’t want to make it a habit.”
I swallowed and thought “Why does he even care?”
His eyes raked my body.
I thought what’s wrong with this guy?
Did my mom see that?
He will not tell me how to run my life.
Besides, he is not my dad.
Mom does not know my real father.
She doesn’t know if he’s alive or dead.
I wanted to say something, but I held back.
I can’t say anything to hurt her even though she has not been the best mom.
I blurted out, “Mom I want to be homeschooled.”
She gasped and raised an eyebrow.
“You can’t be serious. Can we please at least talk about this later?”
She looked frightened; I wondered why.
That’s the moment my stepfather placed his hand over her shoulders.
It wasn’t endearing; it looked threatening.
I swallowed.
What a hell is going on with this marriage his actions made me cringe?
Oh my God, what did mom get herself into marrying this man for money?
That’s the moment, mom said, “Bella, no can do you need to toughen up and face them. And focus on your studies or your grades will slip. You will get yourself kicked out and shame the family.”
That’s the moment my stepdad interjected, “Your mother is right. You ought to step up. I paid $100,000 for the semester alone. You cannot let that go. Oh, and next semester, you are on your own. You will need to get a scholarship to stay there.”
I swallowed.
How could he be so cruel?
Oh my God—
In public, he’s like the best guy ever.
But in private he is so fucking controlling.
I clench my fist and released it.
Luckily mom did not notice, and neither did my stepdad.
I was prepared to say something smart, but I held back.
It just wasn’t worth it.
I decided this is the last time their decisions would affect me. I swallowed and initially thought going to Wexley was the best thing that happened to me. But Wexley academy is full of spoilt entitled guys and girls who would stop at nothing to ruin me.
The place is just plain evil.
I did not know that things like this happened at elite schools.
My mom insisted I returned to Wexley once the suspension ends.
I really didn’t want to do it. but I had no choice.
Luckily things got a little quiet once I returned.
But my grades had already suffered. Weeks past, I tried catching up, but it was hard. Susan Lisa and Ethan did their best to help me out.
There assured me that whatever happened was not about me.
There was something wrong with the Hot boys and the hot girls.
Lisa said, “Something in the past damaged those guys.”
I swallowed and asked, “What are you talking about?”
Susan swallowed and said, “There is something seriously dark and sinister going on. I cannot tell you exactly what it is, but something is just not right.”
I rolled my eyes and said, “You can say that again.”
I thought isn’t it obvious all the bullying all the name-calling? They kept taunting me. Their actions made me wish, I did not transfer to Wexley.
What finally did it was when I got called into the office for what happened between Helen weeks past. I couldn’t believe it.
Holy fuck—
She claimed she dislocated her arm from my pushing her.
I gasped and thought, “She stumbled. But did not fall. And that was weeks ago.”
I sighed and walked into Ms. Price’s office. This was becoming a regular event. Sort of like a sport in my opinion.
I got seated and twirled my fingers while waiting for the assistant principal.
> I figured I will get expelled. And when that happens mom would have no choice but to send me away.
That’s the moment I look up and gasped to see Maxim walking into the office.
I swallowed.
oh my God, Why is he here? What did he do?
Then I chuckled underneath my breath I guess the principal’s office is not just for Slus?
12
Stunned to see him seated across from me, I gasped.
He smirked and leaned back on the chair.
He spread his legs apart like he owned the school.
I bit my lower lip staring at him. I said, “what are you doing here?” He leaned in and coughed. Then he flipped his hair.
He said, “None of your fucking business.” I swallowed.
“Don’t be rude. Okay maybe it’s not my business, Maxim. But you are, here aren’t you?”
He frowned and asked, “What’s it to you?”
And with that he looked away. I sighed.
He stared directly at the wall.
We stayed silent for a few minutes then he turned back and narrowed his eyes on me.
He blurted out, “I do not understand why you think you will last a year here.”
The sooner you understand, the better. Why don’t you just tell whoever got you in, you want out? “
I swallowed.
I shook my head and said, “Listen can’t we have a truce or something? why do we always have to argue with each other all the time? “
Shocked by my words, he scoffed. Then he said, “you want a truce? Really? That’s hard to believe. Why would you want to have a truce with us? That will never happen, newbie”
I swallowed.
Honestly, in that moment I wanted to get off the chair and wring his neck.
But that will not happen. And as crazy as it sounds, I found myself still attracted to him.
He remarked, “Just so you know my family owns this property.”
I raised an eyebrow he chuckled and said, “Yes they do. They might as well call me in a year every minute of every day. It makes them feel like they’re doing something. But the principal would do nothing to jeopardize her job. After all, my father put her there. A little history lesson for you. “
I gasped and thought there are a lot of things I don’t know about the IT boys. I felt a little uncomfortable yet turned on. I could tell that he was clearly aroused.
I noticed a dark spot on his pants and honestly even though it was inappropriate, I couldn’t help but stare because I felt the same way.
