Chapter 7- He is a bully
I closed my eyes and wait for me to fall but I felt someone grab me and put me in his arms.
"Are you alright?" He said.
"Yeah, I am thank you!" I said while being awkward at him. Our eyes met and I saw his eyes color. It was red and golden mixed together. I looked at his nose and he has a nice high bridge. As I stare at his lips, it was pinkish and almost heart-shaped. Then I looked at his Adams apple and I saw him gulp.
"Hey, are you okay?" He said then I came back to my senses.
"I'm so sorry," I said.
"Yeah, I'm alright," I added.
"Be careful next time, " He said and hold my hand as we walk. I felt electricity or something going through my veins as he holds my hands. My heart is pumping so much that I couldn't stare at him and pulled my hands back.
"Oh sorry, Here." He said and pulled his hands on him to let go of my hand. Maybe he felt that something was wrong with me. I felt terrible when he let go of my hands. I felt like I want more.
"U-uh l-lets get b-back?" I said.
"Are you alright?" He said.
"Y-yeah I a-am," I said utterly.
We walk around and see if Faith's around. But when we passed by the gymnasium I saw Josh with a boy. I ask Lucas to go and said that I'm doing something. But he stayed by my side.
"WHO ARE YOU TO BE A TRAITOR?" Josh said angrily. What was going on? It's my first time to see him angry.
"I-im so s-sorry, I-I'll pr-promise I won't d-do it again." The boy said nervously. I saw the boy start to cry.
"ONE TIME YOU HAVE A CRUSH ON MY FUTURE GIRLFRIEND, I'M SURE I'M GONNA KICK YOUR ASS AND KILL YOU." He said and I was shocked by what I heard. But the next happened is he punched him in the face and when the boy landed he spit out on the boy's face and kick her in the stomach. He repeated it over and over, I was so wrong about him. I thought he was a handsome angel creature but he's not. He's a jerk and a demon to be exact. I want to help the boy to stand up but I cannot stand for him.
I saw Lucas walk towards Josh and I was shocked by what he did. He jumped from the air and kick Josh's face. I saw Josh's cheeks bleeding out. Lucas help the boy stand up on his feet and I saw Josh try to attack Lucas but Lucas may felt it and he punches Josh straight to the ground. He's amazing, is he a mafia? Well, I love to date him. Just kidding.
"Are you alright? " I said when Lucas bring the boy to me.
"Let's bring him to the clinic can we?" I said and Lucas nodded.
"What's wrong with Josh? I can't believe him." I said to the boy as we got on the clinic.
"You're Isabella, right? The one that he likes?" He said. I nodded and he smiled.
"I was right to have a crush on you. You're such an angel but I guess I'm too late. You gave your boyfriend now." He said, I was confused but what he said and he started to laugh and tell me all what he had to say.
"I'm Nico, btw I have a crush on you when I saw you one day in the gym cleaning with your friend. I'm Josh's cousin and my mom and I lived with them. My mom was a maid at their house. He treated me nice and I thought he was an angel. Yesterday evening I sat by the bench. And I looked through my Instagram, I saw your post and liked it. I didn't know Josh was there behind me. He ask me If I had a crush on you and I said yes. I didn't know that he would have that crazy reaction. He punch me down to my face that evening and somebody saw us so he stops and he said that he'll get back at me. I know he had a crush on you or he loves you. But I only have a crush or something that is not deeper. I idolized you, something like that but he doesn't even care about what I explained to him. Then he saw me this morning, and ask me to go to the gym. I was hoping he would say sorry or make a peace between us but he didn't as you see now. " He said and I was so angry at Josh for what he did just because of someone like me?
I was about to storm off when someone hold my hands.
"Let him be," Lucas said.
"I hate him, "I said and he just smiled.
"You don't need to do anything." He said.
"Are you his girlfriend?" He added.
"No, I'm not," I said pissed off and he started to laugh.
"Chill, I'm just joking around," he said and walk off.
"I have to go. " I said to the boy and he smiled.
"Thank you for bringing me here."He said and I smiled back. I ran out to catch Lucas but he was nowhere to be found. Aish, but I saw Faith with Lucas they were laughing at each other.
"Boo, what's so funny about, " I said at them and they laughed.
"Your hair is so long girl, Are you rapunzel?" Faith said and I glared at him deathly and she stops laughing but Lucas didn't.
I pat his head and ran away. I saw him running after me. Did I hit him too much? He deserves it and as I was running, I bumped into someone and I fall to the ground. I looked up to see who it was and It was Josh. He handed me his hand but I didn't let him help me.
I stand up myself and just passed him like he was air.
"Hey, Sophia." He said and just continued walking and leaving him out of nowhere.
"I gotcha." Someone said and at first, I thought it was Josh but it was Lucas.
"Aish jerk," I said.
"Huh me?" He said confused.
"Not you, Josh I bumped into him but I ignored him," I said and he begins to smile all the way through our classroom.
"Looks like someone is happy. " Faith said when I got to our classroom and sat down by her side.
"I saw a big smile on you too huh." She said.
"Hey don't overthink. I will kill you!" I said and she shut her mouth.
The class passed and it's already over. Josh came into our room and talked to me but I ignored him and he followed me everywhere I go.
"Why are you ignoring me? " He said.
"That's none of your business. " I said angrily. And I walk out of the building. I can't see Faith and Lucas because this stupid jerk following me like he's a dog.
"Can you stop following me?" I said and ran. As I ran away from him I felt the rain pouring.
"Aish, now it's raining. " I said and sigh.
I continued walking with my head down when A man cover me up. He doesn't bring an umbrella but he covers my head with his coat.
"I've been looking for you. C'mon let's go, Faith's driving us home. " He said.
"Thank you, Lucas," I said as I was shivering from the cold.
"Aish Sophia where have you been?" Faith said and opened the door for me.
"Josh followed me," I said.
"Huh? He's your crush right so why are you upset. " She said.
"So here's the thing..." I said.
"What?" She said waiting for the answer.
"I'm gonna get on first on the car alright? Move." I said and she laughed.
"Sorry girl." She said.
"So here it is," I said as I slammed the door. I saw Lucas ride on the front seat of ours.
"Lucas and I saw him bullying. What's his name again?" I said to Lucas and she shrug his shoulder.
"Oh, I remember it's Nico if I'm right," I said.
"So what next. " She said. I told her everything that I saw and what happened at the gym.
"I'll kick his ass, he's a jerk. You did great Isabella." She said happily.
"Let's go to the karaoke bar?" She said and I nodded. She asks her driver to drive us to the karaoke bar.
"Yey, we're here." She said.
"What are we doing here?" Lucas said with his boring voice.
"Of course for fun." Faith answered I just nodded at Lucas when he stares at me.
On our way to the karaoke room, we saw Hillary with her girls.
"Oh hi, It's so nice and at the same time happy to meet you here." She said in like a flirting voice.
"Well, we don't wanna see you right here." Faith whispered to me.
"Did you say anything?" She asks Faith.
"Ah, I said It's nice to meet you here too," She said and faking a laugh at Hillary.
"So where are you going, can I join you guys?" She said and staring at Lucas while rolling her hair. I admit it Hillary's body was so sexy but her makeup makes her ugly. It's so thick that when you touch it it's like 100 layers. Her hair was blonde and her outfit was gorgeous. It's a little top, I guess it's a crop top and she's wearing a mini skirt. I love it but I kinda found it a little or too much revealing clothes.
Faith and I don't do anything to get rid of Hillary. She comes with us, her two minions go back to their homes.
"I want to sing first, hand me the songbook please." She said.
"Sophia, hey did you hear me? I said hand me the book." She repeats.
"Here don't be so loud," Lucas said.
"Oh sorry, babe. This song is for you." She said and wink at Lucas. I saw Faith refraining from pretending to be throwing up. I laugh at her and turned around to see Lucas's reaction. He has his poker face and no emotion to be shown. He's really cool.
"Baby, baby ooohhhhhhh" Hillary sings out of tune. I saw Faith laughing and Lucas starts to hold his laugh back. I guess they can't hold it back and burst out into laughter. I feel sorry for Hillary for her to be treated this way, but she can just stop singing like what the hell she's pretending to be alright and strong to the others.
"Hey stop," I said and she gave me the mic.
"I'm sorry for them because they're laughing at you," I said.
"You don't have to bitch." She said. What the hell? She's such a bitch. I hate her. I'm so wrong to be nice to her. As she turned around to me, I grabbed her hair and glared at her.
"What did you just call me?" I said. and pull her hair more down.
"I'm warning you to say that ever again, I'll kick your ass," I said and pull down her hair so down so she lean on the ground and fell.
"Cool." He said, I just rolled my eyes at him and sat down by the couch. I saw Hillary stand up and about to say something when I speak.
"Don't you dare say another word. Just get out or I'll hurt you even more." I said. I saw her terrible and pissed off leaving the room.
"That was cool Sophia. " Faith said and I winked at her.
"Unbelievable," Lucas said but I ignored him. He seems upset when he notices that I'm ignoring him. A few minutes later he stand up and left. Is he mad? I made up my mind if I'll follow him but yeah I follow him.
"hey, Lucas why did you leave?" I said to stop him. but he pretends that he didn't hear me.
"Hey, Lucas," I said and ran to him and grabbed his hands.
"Yes? What do you want." He said with his boring eyes?
"I'm sorry about earlier. I also didn't know why I was pissed off when I saw Hillary with you. " I said and it make him blush. Wait did I say something wrong. the next thing he did was laugh and pat my head.
"C'mon maybe Faith's waiting for us. " He said. We walk as he put his arms on my head. He's a little taller than me so he can do what he did.
"There you are, I paid for the room we rent aish you both." She said and we laughed. We go back to Faith's car and we got in. The driver takes us to our home first.
"Thank you, Faith. " Lucas said and walk to our house.
"Call me or just text me when you got home. " I said and say bye to her. she waved at me as I was walking to our apartment.
I look for Lucas but didn't see him instead I heard a shower in the bathroom I guess he's in there. I sat down by the sofa and put my bag on the couch beside me when someone speaks.
"Get a shower but don't get soaked too much. " He said. As I turned around at him, I saw his body he was topless and he have six-packs of abs argh my eyes.
"Aish you idiot, put your shirt on argh," I said and turned away from him.
"oh sorry I forgot," he said.
"Are you on your shirt?" I said.
"Yeah almost, anddd done. " He said.
"Next time don't let me see that eww," I said and he pout. He was cute when he did that.
"Alright, I'm going into the bathroom gonna get some clothes first," I said and he laughed when I ran to my room.
"Hey, do you want to order something for dinner?" He shouted.
"Yeah. Jollibee please." I shouted back.
"Alright pay, " He said.
"later," I said and go inside the bathroom.
"Last question, do you want to watch movies?" He said and I shouted yea. I was showering when someone called me on my phone. It was mom. I picked up my phone while showering my body in the water.
"Hi, honey?" Mom said.
"Hello, mom," I said and turned off the shower.
"How are you, I miss you, honey. we're going there when we have time alright. Mommy and daddy are just busy nowadays, we're sorry alright." She said and I was about to reply when Lucas shouted.
"Who's there honey? Do you have a boyfriend?" She said. I was nervous because she doesn't know about Lucas yet.
"a-ah mom it's just the delivery guy, I'll call you later huh?"I said and hung up the phone. I didn't know what to do, my parents didn't know who I lived with and what gender they are. After I showered I put my clothes in. It's pajamas and hanging or loose crop top.
"So did you find something to watch?" I said.
"uh yeah, I didn't know this movie but its title was Surviving with the wolf. " He said and I smirked.
"I guess you didn't like wolves either. " I said joking him around.
"Let's start?" I said as I sat down by the end of the couch while he was on the other side. He played the movie and I received a message from Faith.
"I'm here thank you for the day." She text. I didn't reply and she knows that I'm too lazy to reply.
"He's on his way." He said breaking our silence while we watch the movie.
"Who?" I said confused.
"The delivery guy of course. " He said and I laugh nervously.
"oh right Haha. " I said shyly.
"I'll go get them." He said and I nodded. I paused the movie for him to not miss any scene. Oh shoot, I forgot that I didn't give him money. I wonder if he has it in his pocket.
Minutes later and he came back.
"Ah ah ah, it's my treat. You should treat me tomorrow alright?" He said and put the food on the table in front of me.
"Alright play the movie here's your drink and your Jollibee meal. " He said and put the food in front of me. So yummy. I found out that the chicken has no gravy. I grabbed the plastic where the food had been and I accidentally touch Lucas's arms.
"oh sorry. " I said.
"You're hot." He said.
"Excuse me?" I said.
"No no what I mean was are you alright your arms are hot lemme see." He said and pulled my hand. He checked my forehead and my neck.
"Are you sick?" He said.
"Nah, I'm alright," he said.
"Here, I think I have a temperature," he said and look at his room. He handed me a temperature.
"Put it in your armpits and press the button." He said.
"Yeah, I know. " I said. I did what he told me to do and wait for the result. I was shocked when I hear it beep and saw what my temperature is.
"Shocks," I said and gasp.
"Let me see," Lucas said and get the temperature in my hand.
"You need to rest. It's so high." He said as he saw my temperature.
"Nah it's just a fever. " I said.
"A high fever, it's 38 C. " He said.
"C'mon eat." He said and stand up to get something. He came back with medicine.
"Drink this after you eat." He said and I nodded. Why is he so nice to me?
"I'll clean this. Go to your room." He said when I finished eating and drinking the medicine he gave. I admired what he did. His future wife and the kid will be so much better in their life. I go into my room and lie down. I texted Faith to tell me I'm sick and told her what Lucas had done.
"Are you asleep?" He said and knocked.
"No, I'm not. " I said.
"umh can I come in?" He said and I said yes. I know he will not do anything bad to me so I let him in.
"Yeah, why?" I said.
"Oh just bringing you a towel with alcohol. I read it online," he said shyly.
"I'm going to put in here." He said and as he was leaving I pulled him so I can say my thank you. But ended up him falling into me. He was on top of me and we are shocked by what happened. I saw his face closer to me. I stared at his mixed-colored eyes. And saw him stare at my lips and he gulps. He leans closer to my face, closer and closer, and boom.
He kissed my lips.
