“Or I’m going to report you guys again,” I said with exasperation.
Warner raised a brow and stepped closer to me, making me back away into Ajax. I was sandwiched between the two boys.
“You remember what happened last time you did that?”
A shiver crawled through me.
Ajax had held me against a wall while Warner threatened to cut my hair. They only let go of me when I cried..
“You wanna try that again, Lia?” he asked, flicking my hair with his finger.
I swallowed. “Just let me go, please,” I whispered.
“Lia?” My best friend, Christine’s voice came from a distance. She entered the hallway, out of breath, and froze when she saw me. “Oh… Lia, Mrs. Dylon is taking a test. You need to get to class or she’ll lock the doors. I was calling you but you didn’t. pick up.”
The boys’ smirks widened.
“You go,” I said to her. “I’ll be right there.”
Ajax scoffed, making my heart sink slightly.
“Are-are you sure?” Chris asked, her voice low.
“Yeah,” I nodded, hoping to reassure her.
“Okay.” She hesitantly turned away, glancing back multiple times before she turned the corner.
That girl had been bullied enough for being my best friend. I tried to keep her safe now. Not wanting to lose my only friend, I’d made her promise to never step in to help me unless I explicitly asked her to.
“And we’re all alone,” Ajax announced.
I glanced around, realising he was right. Everyone had left for their classes now, except the six of us. They didn’t really care about their grades, and not even the teachers or the principal ever said anything to them. Perks of being filthy rich, probably. They didn’t have anywhere to be. Whilst I was about to miss an important test.
“You get on your knees and you can be on your way, Lia,” Aaron said, stepping closer to join in on the fun. Sheila walked up to us as well, a smirk on her face. Zane, on the other hand, made his way to the wall and leaned his back against it, crossing his arms across his chest. Our gazes met, and a shiver crawled through me, making me quickly look away.
“What do you guys get out of humiliating me like this?” I asked, pushing up my glasses. “It’s been like ten years to what happened. Find someone else to bully, just let me be now.”
“And here we thought Little Lia was a good person,” Sheila said. “But she’d gladly throw someone under the bus to save herself. How typical.”
I ignored her remark. “I have a test. Please. Let me go,” I begged.
“Okay, we’ll speed this up,” Warner said. “I’ll count till five. If and apologise, you can leave. If not, you’ll you get on your be punished.”
“What do you-“
“One,” Warner began, not giving me a chance to argue.
“What punishment?” I cried.
“Two!”
Zane pushed away from the wall. “I’m going to class,” he announced and walked away.
“Three,” Warner smirked, as I watched Zane retreat.
“I wouldn’t want to find out, Lia,” Sheila said.
“Four!” Warner practically yelled, making me flinch.
“Alright!” I said, dropping to my knees.
“Five,” Warner said.
“I’m sorry, Ajax. I shouldn’t have said that,” I muttered.
“Uh-oh. Too late, Little Lia.”
-LIA’S POV-
“I did what you said!” I scowled at Warner, still on my knees. “I knelt down and apologised to him.”
“You apologised after I said five.” Warner shrugged. “Not my fault you can’t fol mple instructions.”
“You have got to be kidding me,” I snapped, standing up. “If you think I’m gonna let you walk all over me, you’re wrong. I did as you said because I wanted to get this over with, now get out of my way.” I tried to walk past him, but he pushed me back, making me fall on my butt.
Pain shot up my bottom, and I glared up at him, before rising to my feet again.
“This is enough,” I stated. “You guys have punished me enough for an innocent mistake I made when I was a literal child.”
“And?” Ajax laughed. “What will you do to put a stop to this? Can you do anything?”
“I can,” I replied, “and trust me you don’t want to see it.”
I had no idea what I’d do. I didn’t know what I was threatening them with. But all I knew, was that I was done.
As a certified nerd, everyone knew I had only one weakness. And that was my grades. Thanks to these jerks, I was almost about to fail in two subjects. If I missed today’s test, my scholarship was gone. And I could not afford that. If that happened, The Hounds would actually be successful in their motive of getting me kicked out of here. There was no way I was letting that happen.
Sheila walked up to me, grinning. Even she was quite taller than me, and her high heels enhanced the height difference. Who even wore those to school?
“Sweetie, you shouldn’t make empty threats,” she said in a syrupy voice. “Has it ever ended well for you? Why don’t you. just listen and oblige?”
“Because you guys have no authority over me! I’m sick and tired of your mindless bullying. Grow the hell up, all of you. I need to get to class,” I gritted out. I pushed Sheila out of my way to leave, but Aaron stepped in to block my way.
“Did you just lay a hand on her?” he asked, his voice deeper than I remembered.
I frowned, taking a step back.
“Relax, Ron, it’ not like she can hurt me.” Sheila chuckled.
“No, she can’t, but how dare she try?” said Warner, moving towards me.
My eyes widened now. The boys looked pissed. I hadn’t even done anything.
Before they’d surround me from all sides, I decided to sprint. Not caring to pick up my books, not caring to grab my notes or my bag, I ran. As fast as my legs would carry me.
It actually took them by surprise, because there was a pause before they reacted. I rushed out of the hallway, hearing Ajax laugh behind me, as my heart hammered in my chest.
My shoes beat on the ground as I turned the corner, and the next, making my way towards the cafeteria. I pushed open the double doors and rushed inside, immediately being surrounded by the buzz of chatter and the aroma of different types of food. A few people looked when I burst in through the doors, and they were quick to pull their phones out, making me instantly regret my decision of coming here.
Maybe I could still leave. I should’ve rushed towards the staff room. That would be safer, what the hell was I thinking?
I turned to rush out, but it was too late.
The Hounds walked in through the double doors, their eyes directly fixing on me. My chest heaved up and down as I caught my breath, swallowing hard. It was never a good day to be humiliated in front of everyone.
“Well, well, so much for your little escape attempt,” Ajax announced, as the four of them walked towards me. They were quick to form a circle around me, not caring at all that they were being recorded. This wasn’t the first time, after all.
“I’m-I’m not scared of you guys,” I announced.
The buzz of chatter around us grew louder. A few people laughed, some scoffed.
“Really?” Warner asked, stepping closer to me.
I instinctively backed away, then clenched my teeth.
The Hounds laughed.
“I thought you weren’t scared,” Aaron teased.
“I’m not. I’m just allergic to you guys,” I said, attempting to sound sassy but making a complete fool of myself. No one even laughed. I cringed on the inside.
“Let’s test what else you’re allergic to today,” Ajax said, his tone loud enough for the entire cafeteria to hear. I frowned. What did he mean? “Everybody, would you guys be kind enough to lend Little Lia some of your food? It doesn’t matter what you have. Lia is a good girl, she eats everything.”
What on earth? This was… stupid.
And yet, the second he said that, the sounds of chairs pulling filled the cafeteria. People actually walked up to us with their food, some scared of getting on Ajax’s bad side, others clearly in it for the drama. I just watched in contempt.
Ajax examined what people had brought to him, as if they were making offerings to some god. Then he smirked, picking the worst thing he could find.
Why would someone bring forward hot sauce?
They hated me. That was the only explanation.
“Thank you, Naomi,” Ajax said, and I realised I was indeed right. Naomi Andrews was my biggest academic rival. What was she even doing here right now?
I scowled at her, but she didn’t meet my gaze.
