I continued with my punishment the next day, immediately after I got to school, and started picking dirt that littered the whole school.
I saw no sign of Athena and I least cared about where she was, I wasn't going to report that she didn't partake of the punishment. It was completely none of my business.I finished my task by noon after everyone had gone back to class during break making sure I was not the center of attention by everyone, and headed straight to the class, feeling tired and exhausted.Everyone was chattering and making noise and when they noticed my presence they all got quiet staring at me while they whispered among themselves, I ignored them and began making my way towards my seat.I glanced to the side and saw Athena sitting on her seat, with her legs crossed on her table and her three friends laughing and speaking with her as she smirked at me while I annoyingly dragged my gaze from her face and went to my seat.I got to my seat and the terrible sight got me choked and angry.Someone just broke an egg on my seat and desk and stained it with the egg white and York, making it disgusting to look at and smell.I wondered how they even managed to stay in the class with this kind of mess.Honestly, some bullies could be so dumb and daft at times doing kinds of stuff that will be inconvenient to themselves but will still do it just to hurt the victim.I turned my gaze back to Athena who was staring at me from her seat as a mischievous smirk crept on her lips while her minions were laughing and chuckling irritatingly as they stared at me, I felt the urge of punching the gut out of that stupid face of theirs.'Jade, just calm down and act like it didn't happen,' My mind begged as I sighed and glanced back to my seat.Without saying anything, I made my way towards the door when I bumped and crashed into someone's chest which was hard as a rock, my glasses almost fell off my face as I supported them with my hands.'Jeez! Did this person wear steel armor or what?' I thought, scrunching up my face as I adjusted my glasses on the bridge of my nose, inhaling the alluring cologne of the person.“You should look where you are going to,” A deep, familiar voice advised, making me look up to see Kayden staring down at me with those lovely blue eyes of his.I wanted to apologize to him for bumping into him, but only got furious when his crazy girlfriend was the one who caused all the mess on my desk.I frowned at him, “Excuse me!” I said guttural, I tried to brush past him when I tripped thinking my poor face was about to crash on the ground I closed my eyes in fear anticipating what was about to happen when I realized a pair of strong arms wrapped firmly around my waist bringing me up.Slowly, I opened my eyes, realizing Kayden was the one who saved me from such a disaster. It felt as if the world paused as Kayden and I stared intensely in our eyes, each of us drowning in each other melting gazes as my heart began to hammer loudly against my rib cage.I noticed how close we were, my breast brushing slightly against his chest as I felt my cheeks heat up.I've never been this awkward in my life before…“Let go of my boyfriend, you bitch!” We heard someone roar out of fiery, probably jealousy, knowing it was no besides Athena as the possessive girlfriend she is.I pushed Kayden away from me as he disentangled his arms around my waist, freeing myself and moving backward a bit.I turned around and saw Athena strike her hands towards me while I closed my eyes waiting for the stinging pain to scorch my cheeks but felt nothing but air.“Kay, what do you think you're doing?” She seethed furiously while I opened my eyes with relief seeing Kayden gripping her wrist to stop her from the stupid act she wanted to indulge in as she glared at him.God knows, she would have broken out of the living hell in me if she gave me that slap.“Stopping you from getting into another round of punishment,” He smirked at her while Athena yanked her arms away from him furiously now turning her fiery eyes on me as everyone watched silently and expectantly like we were having a show.“You could have just let her fall,” She hissed an annoyingly directing her sharp gaze back to Kayden who just shrugged.“You!” She warned, pointing at me while I stared at her nonchalantly with a boring look.“Stay away from my boyfriend!” She warned like a raging mother cat protecting her kitten from danger.I rolled my eyes and walked out of the class after her rants as I got to the hallway to look for something to clean my desk, I don't have time to deal with a nuisance like her and by the way, I wasn't even trying to get myself with Kayden. He was the one coming my way.Shortly, I returned to the buzzing class seeing Kayden sitting on Athena's desk while Athena was busying pouting at him and playing with the tip of her hair and I felt like slapping the stupid cute look off her face.Kayden turned his face to mine as we held eye contact and I quickly looked away, frowning as I walked to my seat and placed the bowl of water on the ground and dipped the red napkin in it.I squeezed the water and began to clean it, but it got muddled up as it became sticky on my desk.'Aissh! I made a silly mistake,' I groaned, staring at my now more messed up seat.I turned my head back to Athena who staring at me with a satisfying smirk as I glared at her while Kayden just stared at me,boring holes on my body.The teacher entered the class and everyone hanging at each other's desks or seats scurried to their personal seats to settle down for class, while I was struggling to clean the mess on my desk and chair.“Hey, you!” The teacher called while I focused still cleaning my seat, thinking she was talking to someone else.“Jade!” I heard Kayden whisper for me to hear as I slowly turned my head to the teacher glaring at me and wondering what I was doing.“What do, you think, you're doing in my class?” She fired at me as she began to walk towards my way.'Wrong move!' I thought, staring at her.She moved closer to me and stared at the napkin in my hand a6 the already stained whitish water inside the small bowl then to my desk as she gasped.“Who did this? She questioned staring at me while I answered, 'that dickhead over there,' in my mind.I didn't reply to her as I glanced towards Athena, who was giving me a death glare to dare say anything.“I asked you a question, didn't I?” The teacher demanded firmly while I glanced at the floor.“I do-don't know, I came in after class to see the mess on my seat and desk,” I answered her.“Class!” The lady shouted, I guess she was a no-nonsense woman who will like to get to the roots of matters until she knows what happened.I glanced towards Athena who was giving me a cocky smirk before flipping her hair and crossing her legs on her seat as she faced front while I just fumed growling lowly at her, clenching and releasing my fist at the same time.“I said who did this mess here?” The teacher shouted as the whole class went in silent like a graveyard.“If none of you is ready to give me the name of who did this rubbish on the school property, then you all are partaking in the punishment whether you are guilty or not,” The teacher roared angrily as everyone flinched and began to murmur among themselves.“Ma'am, it's Athena and her friends,” A girl suddenly reported standing up in the center of the class as everyone became silent and snapped their gaze to the girl who looks timid.“What! Are you nuts?” Athena fired, springing up from her seat as she glared at the girl.I stared at the girl in a simple stone-washed Jean skirt that reached below her knee and a black and white leopard printed top.'Is this girl ready for the comeback of Athens and her friends, or she simply doesn't know what trouble she's signing for,' I thought taking a liking to the girl who also has a pair of glasses on her face too, how come I haven't noticed she was in this class.I haven't even existed in the class alone myself than thinking I should be taking notice of other people in the class.Honestly, If I was that girl, I would have minded my damn business to avoid troubles, just like everyone else.“Athena!” The teacher fired as Athena avert her gaze to the teacher.“Pick out your friends who did this and go to the detention room until my class is over, now!” The teacher ordered and began to walk to the front of the class.I caught Athena glaring daggers at the girl who just had her seat, with unspoken revenge filling her eyes as she glanced at me, making sure I gave her my cocky smirk back.Athena clapped her hands together once and her three friends stood up, I can't even believe we all are in the same class.What the heck!The four girls flipped their hair to the back, making sure to give a hateful glance to the girl now staring at her book as they walked out of class.“I see you have a new backup,” I heard Kayden snort behind me as I turned to give him a scoff while he smirked at me and faced his front.I hurriedly cleaned up the mess on my desk and seat and excused myself from the class, taking out the bowl of water and napkin.❥❥The bell rang for closing as everyone scurried out of the class, I didn't feel like going home earlier, so I waited a bit in class while everyone scooted out. Kayden stood up, purposely brushing my shoulder with his hand as I shot him a sharp scrutinizing gaze while he smirked in return then gave me a wink.I almost blushed, staring at him, thank God I had rolled my eyes and looked down at my book, after realizing he was out of class. I suddenly remembered that I'm supposed to say a 'Thank you,' to the girl who risked reporting Athena and her friends.Honestly, she should have kept her mouth shut… I had a bad feeling those nasty girls won't let her go scot-free.I scanned the entire class with my eyes and noticed she wasn't in class, so, I stood up packed my books into my bag, and headed out of the classroom.Likewise, I decided to have some little exercise to myself, wondering where the basketball court was as I started walking, glancing everywhere as the school began to get quiet an
I parked my blue bike at its spot in school as I backed my school bag properly, and wrapped my hands firmly around my bag straps.I yawned a bit slightly as I began walking towards the school building when I bumped into someone again, I shot up my gaze to the person.“We meet again,” Kayden's deep voice echoed in my ears while I frowned at him.“Are you making this a habit to be coming in my way, so, I will bump into you?” I sneered at him while he smirked.“If you are looking for my attention, then you are terribly failing at it,” I spat at him as his countenance fell as he growled at me and then made a funny expression on his face.“Me? Your attention?” He scoffed, eyeing me as he let out a taunting smirk, while I just stared at him.“You think I want your attention?”“That will be the last thing I'll ever want to do, Jade,” He smirked, making me shoot him a surprised look.'My name!''How did he?' I thought curiously.“How did you know my name?” I asked him nervously… I haven't kep
“Me?” I anxiously asked the P. E teacher, while every other eye was fixed on me.“Yes, you!” He confirmed, I swallowed the lump in my throat when I turned my gaze to Kayden who was staring at me, with a slight smirk on his face.“She?” Athena asked annoyingly as she glared at me.“Yes, do you have a problem with it?” The young man asked her while she sneered at him.“She can't even barely meet with Kayden,” Athena scoffed, shifting her gaze to mine while I frowned at her.“We will know when she races with him,” The man, who seemed not to be interested in what she was saying anymore, replied curtly.Athena huffed and started walking closer to me, I didn't move from my spot, ready for any crazy attitude she was about to display.“You!” She started pointing her finger toward me while I jeered at her.'Crazy bitch!' I thought, knowing, she would be telling me not to get to her boyfriend.“I see you are trying in every possible way to get closer to Kayden, but let me tell you one thing,” Sh
I had changed into my casual clothes and was walking down the hallway, when I saw Athena and her gangs approaching my way, and I sighed distressed, feeling the aura of trouble in the air.I tried to balance my right foot on the floor and walk normally, but I still felt light pains soaring through me.Athena gave me an unsympathetic look and scoffed as she and her minions got closer to me.I tried to ignore them and be invincible, but they blocked my path, the four of the girls crossed their arms over their chest and each of them gave me a smug look.I wheezed out, a bit annoyed, and gaze up to Athena's face. “Please, excuse me!” I said in a calm voice while Athena scoffed at me, rolling her eyes at me, her friends gave me a sneer look then they giggled evilly among themselves.“You bitch!” Athena started, moving forward and closer to me.“Please, excuse me!” One of her friends mimicked my voice irritatingly with that croaky voice of hers, my voice doesn't even sound that way, for cryi
“These books!” I groaned annoyingly trying to arrange the mess I created in my locker. It was break time, and I tried to act like everything is going well, when it's not.The pains in my ankle has subsided, and I'm able to walk smoothly without wincing by placing my right foot on the ground.Still, fighting with my scattered books in my locker, I heard some girls talking besides me.“Do you hear about the house party Brandon is hosting soon?” One of them said.“Yeah! I'm so excited about it,”“Kayden will be there too, it's just bad his tigress girlfriend will be around,” The second girl muttered.I stopped with what I was doing immediately hearing on the mention of a party and Athena being referred to as the tigress girlfriend.'Hmm! A house party!' I thought and suddenly smirk.I will make sure Athena is going to take back on here words, I'm not a social personin fact, I never attended a party before in my life, maybe it's time for me to crawl out of my cage a bit.Furthermore, I co
The day for the party came, and I was in my room with a dark blue off shoulder body-con dress, standing in front of the wall mirror in my room staring at my reflection, contemplating whether to go or not.I bite my lower lips nervously, different questions running through my mind.'I can just be a bad girl once in my life,' I thought, how will my finals be interesting if I don't have an interesting memory to hold, just living a boring life all my days.'Okay, I'm going,' I thought determinedly, I have already showered, so. I'm just going to dress.I stared at the dress I picked, it was one of the gowns mum had bought for me and many others, which I've abandoned and decided not to wear.She had always tried to talk to me to go out once in a while, but I always refused, I had gotten used to my lonely world, well, today that story is going to change, and it's only for today.I breathed out and walked over to my bed and placed the gown on the bed, I unbuttoned the free shirt I was wearing
“What are you doing here?” Athena fired with rage, she was putting on a one arm black body-con dress which also reached her mid-thigh.She reached out to me when Kayden pulled her arm back while she glared at me furiously while I smirked at her. I studied, her eyes raked me from head to toe.“I'm sure you don't even have an invitation card, how did you get here?” She seethed angrily.“Dumb!” I hissed out while her eyes shone widely, I noticed those around us had stopped with whatever thing they were doing and stared at us while I kept my glass of drink back on the table.I unlocked my purse and brought out an invitation card, “Well, if I don't have an invitation card, do you think I'd be here anyway?” I asked her sarcastically, twirling the card in between my fingers at her face, as she became pale immediately.“And thanks to my friends here,” I smirked, turning to Ivy and Ariana as I arched a brow at them to also play along, which they did.“Yes, baby!” Ariana suddenly said and walke
“What?” Athena and I said at the same time gaping at him surprisingly while my eyes almost fell off their socket.“Why would you do that, Kayden?” Athena walked up to him angrily.“It's just a game, Athena, so, calm down,” Landon jumped in.“I didn't ask for your reply, Landon,” Athena fired at him annoyingly.“It's a game just like he said, so, calm yourself,” Kayden smirked at her.'There's something fishy about this,' I thought and turned to my heels, I think it's a trap.“Where are you going?” Brandon asked, stopping me in my tracks as I turned around to face him.“I'm not interested in the game,” I told him annoyingly.“Well, then you have to pay $1000 to get your name out of the list,” He told me and I almost choked.'$1000, for a game,' I got paralyzed on my spot.“Is this a joke or what?” I strive to ask.“Well, the game isn't free, good boy Kayden had to pay for you to join the game,” He smirked at me while I dragged my gaze to Kayden and glared murderously at him."I will pl
