Pregnant For My Bully
Chapter 64

As I walked through the hallway and to my locker, I desperately hoped that Jason and Kimberly had forgotten about me in the past few days that I had been absent. I knew that wouldn't happen though.

But still, fingers crossed. Right?

As I got to my locker and started taking out the notes and textbooks I would need, my mind wandered to Adrian.

Unintentionally, a smile crossed my face.

Having him over was the nicest thing that'd happened in a while.

We had talked about stuff while eating the chocolate he'd gifted me. After a while we'd walked to the kitchen still talking, where he had offered to make dinner.

Yes, Adrian was an excellent cook. Which surprised me, to be honest. He didn't seem like the type that'd know how to even turn on the cooker.

But yeah, at the the end, the spicy spaghetti and chicken had come out surprisingly well.

He even made a small portion of chicken soup-to help my cold.

Apparently, Nana had liked his company so much she invited him over for dinner this weekend.

But what if... she was just trying to set us up.

I wouldn't put it past her.

But as for me... I wasn't sure I felt THAT way for Adrian.

I mean, he was nice and sweet and cute. Not to mention his very nice b**t...

That's not the point, Mel, I chided myself, putting a hand to my forehead.

What the hell was I doing? I caught myself, realizing the reality of the situation.

I was supposed to be staying away from Adrian. Completely avoiding him, even.

But no. Here I was.

In less than a day, he had come over to my house, gotten me a gift, and cooked for me.

I tugged at the ends of my hair. Jason wouldn't take it lightly if he found it.

I needed to be careful, I decided. It was probably best to not see Adrian anymore.

Yes. That's the best thing to do.

Sighing inaudibly, I trudged a the way to my first class. Which, of course I had with both Kimberly and Jason.

As I walked in, I noticed Kimberly and her minions sitting at a corner in the back of the class.

I quickly tried to find my way to my seat, hoping they wouldn't notice me.

But we all know that's never gonna happen.

Aneeka noticed me trying to stay out of sight, and tapped Kimberly. Almost immediately, she whipped around and fixed me with a dirty glare.

"Argh, no." She said, rolling a lollipop in her mouth. "When we all thought she was dead."

Malia and Aneeka burst into a round of cackling.

I tried to keep my face calm, hoping they would just leave me alone.

Kimberly's outburst made almost everyone in the class notice me. I hated the stares, the glares, the sneering. I tried to actively block them out as I found a seat and put my things down. "Girl in the rain!" Someone shouted from the back, egged on by the cheers and laughter from my classmates.

I knew it was Aneeka. Her stupid tinkly voice...

"Aquawoman." Someone sitting right beside me said, sniggering.

I did a double take. I didn't even know this girl. Now people I didn't even know had joined in the bullying.

Tears of pain and shame threatened to fall. But I knew that was what they wanted.

Out of nowhere, someone threw a crumpled piece of paper at me, attracting more laughs from my classmates. Soon everyone started to join in.

The tears hung on the edge of my eyes.

Please don't fall. Please don't fall.

A single tear rolled from my eyes and down to the front of my shirt.

I tried again to block out the taunts. The laughing.

I looked around, the tears partially blurring my vision.

Everyone here was laughing at me.

Everyone.

I was that much of a joke. Just a piece of trash in the wrong place.

I grabbed my books, tears still flowing, and fled to the bathroom.
