*Athena’s POV*
I started running away without looking back. I didn’t dare to stop until I reached the door of my home. Likewise, I knew that he wasn’t following me, but he still scared me. Furthermore, I wished not to face him at all. I hurried to find the key to my home. I searched my bag, and my pocket, but I couldn’t find them at all. I was going to scream in despair if I left it in the alley or even the restaurant. I wished not to return there, and encounter Ezekiel Miller again! But my worry was unconcerned. I felt a sharp pain in my foot. When I bent down to check what it was, I found it to be the key. I sighed in relief. My stress has caused me to worry and overthink a lot.
I went inside, remembering the shock I experienced today.
I went inside the house slowly, not willing to disturb my mom. She should be sleeping peacefully. Would I get any sleep at all today? I shrunk down.
I decorated the books in their respective place, from the bag. I sat down at the table blankly, recollecting the shock I experienced today.
First, my bully, Ezekiel Miller, was back, and we were again in the Twilight Academia, after two years! I was going to embrace my she-wolf happily, but I guess this year is going to be one of the worst years. He had always bullied me, and it still didn’t change after these years! If something has changed, he had become crueler than before!
And the second shock I received today was… Now, he even dares to sexually harass me!
Though he had always insulted me, and even beat me, this is the first time he tried to sexually harass me. I let out a low growl at my dissatisfaction. If this matter isn’t resolved soon, he is going to take my virginity! I would never let it happen. I have saved up my first time for my mate. I wish to embrace him and give him all my love after I find my mate. I can’t let Ezekiel Miller steal my first time! Not only that, but I must put an end to his bullying. But how…?
I frowned and threw myself on the bed, allowing my body to take a rest. However, my mind couldn’t rest at all. It was 3 am when I last watched the clock.
The next day, in the Morning. I went to wash naturally. I was sleepy, yet so sleepless. I wished to ditch school with the excuse of illness. But thinking about how many lessons I was going to miss made me change my decision. Like every day, I picked up a book and started to read. However, I couldn’t focus at all. My mind kept drifting toward Ezekiel. Frustrated, I shut my book off and went down to have my breakfast.
I grabbed some bread and buttered it for mom and me. There was no time for me to wait for mom today. I knocked on her bedroom door to let her know it was time to wake up, and left for school. Generally, mom would be the one knocking on my door early in the morning, but today she seemed tired so, couldn’t wake up.
I reached school on time, though I fidgeted about entering the main gate for a while. A part of me still wished to ditch school.
“Athena, you are here! Let’s go in!” Lena screamed.
Before I could even greet her, she took my arm around her and took me inside.
“Do you know that Ezekiel Miller is back? That bastard! I wished so much that it would be false news, but it turned out to be true. I would be dead furious if he still tries to bully you! It’s all because of his damn family that he always causes a ruckus! I hate him to the core.” She was talking non-stop, but I wasn’t a bit interested in it.
I was already aware of this news, so her words didn’t surprise me.
“Hey, Athena. Are you not even a bit worried about his arrival?”
I was. I was afraid of the core. No one wished for this news to be falser than me. He doesn’t have a particularly excellent reputation, nor did he have that terrible reputation. However, everyone in this school is aware of him being my exclusive bully!
She shook me to receive her answers. I just nodded blankly in response and walked ahead. She ran to catch behind me.
“Hey, you sure are okay? Are you too shocked? Wait, you have dark circles. You didn’t sleep last night?”
I flushed, remembering last night. Composing myself, I continued, “Yes, I couldn’t sleep yesterday. I was busy studying, and didn’t get any sleep.”
Lena scorned sarcastically, “You will be old if you study so much! Here, we are talking about your life-threatening situation, and you are busy studying.”
Life-threatening situation? It sure is. However, no matter how far he goes, he would never kill me, at least. Right?
I saved up the question for the future to answer later. I also never thought he would never do something like that until yesterday… So, about murdering me, let’s know it later. But I would never let him steal my virginity!
I came back to sense when Lena hugged me. I was stunned by the unexpected hug, but I hugged her back.
“I am going to miss you. Notify me if Ezekiel Miller does bully you! I will try my best to protect you.”
The corner of my lips curled up naturally. She has been my best friend for years, and she really does live up to it.
We parted our ways since we had different sections. I missed when our class was together.
I had to visit the locker to fetch my History Book.
“Did you have a Good Night’s sleep, Bunny?” Ezekiel’s sweet whisper entered my ears. He was smiling slyly at me.
I recollected yesterday’s memory and flushed.
How could he do that to me? Next time, does he wish to steal my virginity?
What if I can't protect myself next time? He had bullied me for ages, am I going to get bullied again? Why can he bully me, and I can't protect myself? He should be in prison for what he had done, but because of his father's power… no harm is done to him! I hate him. I hate Ezekiel Miller to the core for the harm, he had done to me!
A sudden surge of anger overflowed me. Without thinking it over, I placed a hard slap on him. All the eyes in the corridor fell on us, and everything seemed to stop at that moment.
