The Bully's Obsession novel Chapter 3

　　I woke up to the loud blaring of my alarm, my hand lazily reached out to slam it shut, I didn't manage to catch some sleep yesterday night

　　All thanks to him...

　　Great!

　　He has even found his way into my dreams

　　I sat up yawning tiredly before making my way to the bathroom..

　　After a warm shower, I brushed my long brown hair and clasped it in the tight ponytail that I always wore, i stared at my expression in the mirror to see little dark circle under my eyes and a sigh escaped my lips

　　I decided to apply a little makeup today to cover it up which was totally unlike me

　　Walking back to my room, I snatched my glasses from my reading desk along with my books and made my way downstairs....

　　***********************************

　　I heard voices discussing before I finally came into view....

　　Mom and Ashley were discussing something, when I came to view a smile lit up her face...

　　"Morning mom " I said making my way to the breakfast table...

　　"Sweetie how was your night ?"

　　Before I could reply Ashley decided to speak for me

　　"Why do you even ask mom? I'm sure it went exactly how you expect a nerd's night to go.."

　　"Ashley be nice!" Mom said shooting her a glare, turning back to me she said

　　"Honey have some breakfast before Lyn comes to pick you up" 

　　Marilyn, Clarissa and Jasper were the only friends of mine mom and dad knew, well that was because they were my only friends , since the beginning of highschool when Hayden started his torture no one wanted to be friends with me, i didn't even have a boyfriend because he had spread a rumor back then that I had the herpes...

　　"Is there a problem?" Mom's voice distracted my thoughts

　　"Um...no, I'll eat now"

　　I took a piece of bread and smeared it with butter and took a huge bite

　　"Do you always have to eat like a pig?" Ashley snickered

　　"I'll eat how ever I want" I replied

　　Mom just shook her head, she was probably used to our fights by now

　　"You even wore make up?" She said in an accusing tone

　　I rolled my eyes 'duh' it was just a concealer I replied in my head

　　"Did you wear it for someone?" She asked again , I raised up my head to meet her gaze

　　"What's it to you?" I asked tonelessly taking a bite of my bread

　　"Do you have a boyfriend?"

　　I choked on the bread in my mouth coughing ,I gladly accepted a glass  of water from mom and drank until I emptied the entire cup

　　"You know its not a bad idea, you are seventeen, you should go out more often and have fun like girls your age and....."

　　Thankfully in that moment the honk of a car sounded, Lyn was here, I wouldn't have to listen to one of mom's many lectures this morning, 

　　"Bye mom!" I yelled as i grabbed my stuffs and went outside to meet her

　　"Why are looking all flustered?" She asked giving me a look

　　"You know the usual mom-boyfriend thing again" I replied

　　She turned on the stereo as we drove to school

　　"I didn't ask yesterday , but what happened between you and Hayden? Is he back to bullying you?" 

　　A sigh escaped my lips and I just stared out the window

　　"You'll have to speak up  sometime you know?" She said giving me the look

　　I just wished it was that easy...

　　********************

　　Today couldn't get any worse,  Hayden was in this class and he just kept digging holes into my back...then a piece of paper hit my head ,I turned to meet his smirk

　　"What?" I said in annoyance

　　"Evans are you paying attention?" Mrs Claire, our history teacher spoke....

　　Great , she didn't see when Hayden threw a paper at me, she only saw me speaking

　　It seemed like forever before the bell rang signaling the beginning of break...

　　I kept my book inside my locker and began to make my way to the cafeteria  when I was suddenly pulled into an empty classroom , I was about to scream when I heard his voice

　　"Don't you dare"

　　I blinked for a few times to allow  my  eyes  adjust to the darkness , I could make out his features now

　　"What do you think you're doing let me go" I  tried to wiggle away from his grip on my arm , keyword "tried "

　　He inclined his face to mine dangerously close 

　　But he didn't stop there, "You are already as fat as an oaf so you don't need this" he said snatching my half eaten sandwich from me and throwing it on the ground , smashing on it with his boot, Another laughter erupted and I wished the ground could just open  up and swallow me..

　　I had always been conscious of my weight but mom always told me I was perfect and healthy but right now.....

　　"What the hell do you think you're doing Hayden?" Jasper stood glaringly to my defense

　　Hayden looked like he was just noticing Jasper for the first time, he let his gaze wander from Jasper to me then back to Jasper again

　　"Another nerd" he muttered under his breath

　　I stood up and placed a hand on Jasper's shoulders looking at him pleadingly, maybe if we just ignored him he would just go away 

　　I tried to ignore the way Hayden's eyes narrowed down to the hand I placed on Jasper's shoulders when he gave us his signature smirk

　　"If you really want to eat that much then you can" with that he took the glass of milk on our table and spilled it all over my face, even my  hair was dripping with milk 

　　I didn't know what exactly happened but I think Jasper just shoved Hayden..

　　Then the fight began and the whole cafeteria stood to watch

　　A scream escaped my lips when  Hayden delivered a punch to Jasper's face 

　　Then another....

　　And another....

　　He looked so enraged as he situated himself on top of Jasper who was at a great disadvantage

　　I looked around in panic, why was nobody trying to separate  them? They all watched while cheering and whistling loudly, it was disgusting.

　　"Stop it!" I screamed and rushed towards them , Hayden was about to deliver a blow when I held his arm pulling him backwards

　　"Stop it now Hayden...please" I added

　　I could see his gaze flickering as if he was contemplating 

　　"Please......" I said again and to my surprise he listened 

　　He  pulled up away from Jasper much to my relief and I down to him

　　"Are you alright? " I asked tapping him gently

　　Of course he wasn't , he was bruised while Hayden looked  unscratched,  Lyn and Clarissa joined me to help him up

　　"Let's take him to the clinic" Lyn suggested 

　　As we escorted Jasper out, from the corner of my eyes I saw Hayden glaring right at me his chin clenched tight
