Chapter 3

Joshua's pov:

As I exited the canteen I started looking here and there to catch a glimpse of her. Grace. But the whole corridor was empty so I decided to check in locker area I was running towards the locker area suddenly I heard many gasps and whispers I turned my head towards the voices and saw a huge crowd circling around something or someone at the front area of the school.

Is she there?

Did the whole school came here?

I ran towards the students and stood there putting my hands on my knees, gasping and panting. So much workout for a day. I suck huge gulps of air breathing through my mouth. Just as my breathing got normal I started pushing past the students to reach in the middle of the circle. As I reach in the center of the students I saw the girl Grace sitting on that poor boy's stomach punching him nonstop.

What is she thinking?

Is this a boxing match or what?

I saw no one is stopping or objecting her behaviour. Do they even have emotions? If no one is stopping her I have to stop them. It will be good for both of them.

"STOP!" I shouted hoping she would stop right there.

But no, she didn't stop. It was like she turned deaf in her rage and keep beating that poor boy mercilessly.

I again decided to stop her. "STOP! WHAT ARE YOU DOING? HE IS GETTING HURT!" I yelled at her but again she didn't even listen me.

So I did, that which could stop her. I lean forward towards her and encircled my both arms tightly around her waist and she flinched. Huh? I separated her from that boy. She started thrashing around in my hold. On the other hand I heard some gasps and look of terror on the faces of students.

Did I do something wrong?

"LEAVE ME! I SAID LEAVE ME!" she started yelling like a maniac.

"STOP IT! I SAID STOP IT!" I yelled at her with the same intensity.

"WHO ARE YOU TO STOP ME YOU PIECE OF SHIT! LEAVE ME OR YOU WILL BE AT HIS PLACE!" she shouted.

Why is she shouting so much? Doesn't her throat hurts?

"See I'm just telling you he is getting hurt. What he did was just a accident you can't go and kill someone on that small mistake." I told her calmly.

"Did I ask for your opinion? My lord" she spat sarcastically and started clawing at my arms and scratched them.

"Don't do that!" I whisper yelled at her. "Like I will listen to you." She said and again started doing it.

"ENOUGH!" I said getting annoyed and motioned to random muscular boys from the crowd to take that injured boy to the medical room or even hospital if needed. The boys hurriedly picked that beaten up boy and put his arms on their shoulders and started walking slowly.

"HEY WHERE ARE YOU TAKING HIM DON'T YOU KNOW THE CONSEQUENCES!" she again shouted, at the boys which were holding that boy while thrashing in my hold. I sighed how will I handle her?

Why I myself get into it?

Good luck Joshua!

"You come with me." I said and started dragging her to the opposite direction of where the boys went. But she still keep thrashing around.

How much energy does she have? Even after beating that boy mercilessly!

"Let me go" she said while gritting her teeth.

"Just keep your mouth shut for a minute and stop thrashing around" I said sternly.

"Oh I'm so scared of you." she spat sarcastically. "No one gonna fear you with this expression boy" she smirked.

Finally we reached far enough from the crowd. I make her stand on her feet and backed away to give her some space. She instantly turned around and said "Who do you think you are? How dare you touch me?"

She was in pure rage but I saw something in her eyes which I couldn't pin point.

"I'm Joshua and I think I'm a student." I gave her the answers of her questions.

"Don't try to act smart with me" she sneered.

"I'm not trying to act, I'm smart" I said the obvious. I'm smart.

She strolled towards me and grip my collar in a tight grip. Whoa feisty! She can't even reach my height and trying to intimidate me. Cute!

"Just because I let you sit on my bench and share my personal space with you it doesn't mean you can do anything, and I will do nothing to you." she spat.

"I didn't even thought something like that I just want to save you both." I tell her honestly.

"How?" she asked raising her brow amusingly.

"I just saved that boy from you and I wanted to save you too from any charges which could be put on you for the violence." I said proudly.

Her demeanor turned cold. "You didn't save me and no one can save me." she said emotionlessly and started walking away.

"Hey atleast say a thank you it would be fine." I shouted.

"Fuck off!" she retorted back.

Woah I like that spirit!

The first day of school itself was dramatic. What will happen this whole year?!

I shook my head on this thought and head back to my classes.

Time skip :

Finally the bell rang and I can go home now. Home sweet home. I think I should also make up to mom for ignoring her this morning. That woman can kill me if she gets angry. No doubt! I started heading outside of the building and saw students rushing like animals released from zoo.

Why are they so wild?

Can't they have some patience?!

Then I saw her walking few distance away from me. Her bag strap is clung on her right shoulder. She is walking mindlessly in her own thoughts. As if someone bumped into her that it would be their fault because how dare they bumped into her?!

Why she got so much attitude?

What she thinks of herself?

Why I'm thinking about her. I got nothing do with her. She is a bad news I should stay away from her. I'll not poke my nose in her matters. Today was enough.
