"Hey man where you been , coach been looking for you " Rod said falling into steps with Kyle who had a furious face .
"Shit who pissed the fuck out of you , someone getting face punch or what " he asked full face grin while cracking his knuckles .
"Someone dared frame Raye , fuck she was crying , like she was crying " Kyle yelled while Rod turned serious with a frown .
He knew there was no going back here or stopping him but ....
"Come on let's think this through , you don't want to go over there and just hit the guy " Rod tried to reason because apparently his friend had gotten a lot of suspension that he could hardly count .
Kyle turned when he saw him but Rod came to block his view which brought an awful scowl to his face .
Irk Rod thought scrunching his face wondering who had pissed this guy to this extent .
Oh they were dead .
"Move " . Kyle muttered lacking any patience he was suprise he was able to say something calm.
Joshua , he thought the crush .
You know he had always wanted to put his hands on that motherfucker ...one for breathing close to his girl .
The other was that he was there ,to fucking close , always acting like he cared .
Now he just gave him a good reason to do it ...and oh he was going to do it with pleasure.
"Dude ,think about this yeah I know you are upset but ..."
"Move the fuck out of my way ". Kyle gritted out , eyes closed .
Some student had already stopped , others already predicting the next fight that will happen ..though they weren't sure about who was getting punched .
"Kyle - ".
" GET. THE . FUCK. OUT .OF .MY FUCKING . WAY " kyle yelled while Rod took three step backwards before moving away raising his hand up in defence .
Shit the guy was pissed he thought watching Kyle stomp over to the boy who he presume to be Joshua .
This was going to be painful ...for the guy actually .
Ex - crush .
Holding court with his two idiot friends. Laughing like the king of nothing.
Kyle didn't hesitate.
He walked straight up and slammed his hand against the locker next to the guy's head.
The hallway went quiet. A metallic echo boomed across the floor.
Everyone turned.
"Hey—" the guy started.
Kyle grabbed his collar, yanked him forward into the lockers, and said in the lowest, calmest voice ever heard .
"You like attention, right?"
The guy blinked.
"Good. Because I'm about to make you famous."
"I—I didn't—"
A fist landed across Joshua face , his eyes went wide open at the hit before he could even process anything he was slammed back into the locker .
Joshua gritted his teeth tasting blood ...something told him his jaw was broken now .
His two friends backed away
Kyle smiled. A bad boy smile.
Sharp. Dangerous.
"You think just because she cries alone, she's weak?" he hissed. "You think calling her names, humiliating her, framing her — that's brave?"
He slammed him again — not with full force, but enough for dramatic flair.
Then he landed another punch to his face this time harder while Joshua staggered before falling down on the floor .
"Say one more thing about her. Say her name, even. I dare you."
Joshua gulped spitting a mouthful of blood on the floor as he massaged his jaw "I didn't know she—"
"You didn't care. Nobody did. But I do."
The hall froze.
Then Kyle let him go, stepping back with a cold laugh.
"You're not even worth my bruises."
He turned to walk away, then spun back suddenly and said, "Oh — and next time you want to mess with her. ...any of you ?" he said looking at the student who were staring back with suprise and fear .
He leaned in, voice dark as the void.
"Remember she's mine."
Second day .
"How is my little princess doing ?" Jane asked opening Raye's door very slowly as she walked into the room to find her in the particular spot she had left her since the last two days .
Jane walked slowly to the bed sitting at the side as she smoothen Raye's hair slowly with a small smile .
"Kyle called , you need to talk to him , he is worried ".
"I can't it's ... embarrassing I cried in front of him ...in front of everyone at school ".
Jane sighed tiredly wondering whether she should tell her about the fight that broke out .
"Come on , at least eat something , you haven't eaten today ...put some food inside your stomach ".
Raye looked at the wall not responding to Jane before she eventually sat upright as Jane heaved a sigh .
She looked at Jane then glanced a her entire room which looked a mess .
She hadn't moved from this spot since the day they suspended her and now it's been two days .
Remaining two days
Raye was starting to feel hopeless as ever .
"Jane , how do you expect me to eat when I feel like am slowly losing everything, this is the second day from my suspension and the school hasn't found anything yet ...do you know what that means , it's means that I might get expelled at the end of the fourth day cause it proves I am guilty ".
Jane sighed she feared that too , even her was becoming tired of assuring Raye everything would be fine .
She was getting anxious too and she know what the stakes were.
The archive wasn't a place student were allowed to enter but then all evident pointed to Raye .
"I can't believe Danielle would do this , I knew something was up with that girl when she came up acting like she was holier than thou ".
"I thought she had moved on " Raye whispered shutting her eyes closed .
As she chanted in her head .
Don't cry
Don't cry
She had done alot of the water works the last two days and she wasn't sure she had any tears left or anything .
"I can't believe she could do this , she know the stakes , doe she think Kyle would follow her if you left the school " Jane snapped angrily while Raye turned to stare at her eyes widen in fear .
Jane bit her lips realizing what she had just said .
"Do you ..think ...they would expel me , like send me out ... permanently ...oh God what would I tell aunty and uncle ...they would be so disappointed " Raye started to panick as she flung the duvet from her body rolling on the bed .
"No , no you know I didn't mean it that way - wait Raye calm down " Jane said holding Raye hands who wasn't looking at her . "Nothing of a sort would happen okay , nothing , I said what if ...you know what forget I ever said that ...nothing would happen and we are sticking with that alright ??".
"Please answer me rays " Jane said coaxing staring at her friend tiredly .
She hated seeing her this way , looking hopeless .
Fuck she was glad Kyle did a number ..no ten numbers on Joshua stupid , smug face ...now it was Danielle turn .
She would be feeling happy , thinking everything was over , the heavens help her Raye comes out of this Jane thought clenching her fist tightly .
"Now will you eat something ?? " Ja e asked with a small smile moving the spoon to Raye's mouth whow as staring intently at the window . " For me ..please ??" .
"Please Raye" Jane coaxed as Raye slolwy turned to face her she then slolwy opened her mouth .
Jane sighed smily softly before she started to feed Raye slowly .
"Thank you " .
