When I raised up my hand to beat Mitchie since Jailena asked me to, Ethan grabbed ahold of my arms, stopping me from hitting her. I looked at her body that was on the floor. Her eyes were glossy and I immediately regret my actions. Ethan looked at me dead in the eye. I know yesterday he told me that he wouldn't spare me if I did something to her. I know Ethan wasn't happy with me.

I'm not surprised if today's tutoring will be cancelled. Mitchie probably doesn't care about me and my grades. If today is still on, then I have to go. I know that if I go home today, Ethan would scream at me. I deserve it. I deserve the screamings and shouting from Ethan since I bullied his friend. Correction, best friend.

I sighed and walked away with Jailena's hand in mine. This girl would never want to let go of my hands. I really want to let go of her hand. I want to go to Art since Mitchie, Ethan and I are in the same class. Jailena too, is in the same class.

Jailena and I were currently at the bleachers. I was lying down with my head on her laps and her playing on her phone. My mind wandered off to Mitchie again. 30 minutes had passed and I'm still not in Art class. I'm not that much of a drawer. I sat up and looked at Jailena.

"Babe. Let's go for Art." I said, going straight to the point.

"Why? I thought you hate Art?" She asked.

It's true that I hated Art. But somehow, knowing that Mitchie is in my class, I was excited about it. It's like Art is my favourite. Well, for Mathematics, although we are in the same class, I'm not excited for the lessons but the tutorings. I just couldn't wait for school to be over so that I could have my tuition session with Mitchie.

Jailena and I walked to Art hand in hand. I pushed the door open with too much force that the door hit the wall behind it. Oops! My bad. I looked around the class. My eyes landed on Mitchie who was looking down to something. After some time of standing in front of the classroom with my eyes still on Mitchie, Ethan pulled her into a hug.

She pulled away and wiped her eyes. Was she crying? Yes, she was crying because of you, Grayson.

The smile on my face turned upside down. I really regretted bullying her. I know I need to do it because of my reputation. Jailena and her girlfriends wouldn't be happy if I talk to Mitchie. Neither do my friends. They will just spit mean words to either me or Mitchie. The last thing I want was that to happen, making Mitchie hate me more and more. I just don't know what to do.

Have you ever got that feeling that you want to be friendly with someone but that someone is someone who isn't the type of friend that your friends like? If you do, I'll give you a kiss on the cheeks. Haha!

I walked to my desk with my girlfriend still beside me. Once we were sat down, Jailena cuddled closer to me. My eyes drifted to Mitchie who was sitting on her seat, staring at her work on the table. This was all my fault, I admit. She couldn't focus on her work becasue of me. My head was being turned, forcing me to look at Jailena when I really want to just keep an eye out for Mitchie.

Jailena pecked my lips and smiled. I smiled back at her. Then, she pressed her lips against mine, letting it linger there. A voice stopped us from going any further.

"Mr Dolan and Ms Bailey! No PDA in this class!" Ms Amelia shouted, making the class errupt in laughter.

My face turned red. My eyes went back to Mitchie who was still looking blankly on her artwork. A droplet of water dripped onto the thin sheet, making me almost stand up from my seat to go next to her. Jailena's arm was latched securely to mine and I know I couldn't go anywhere without her following me.

School has ended and I had to go to the toilet for a little while. My stomach hurts so I guess I need to poo. Too much info, I guess. Anyways, I was done after 20 minutes and got out of the toilet. Yes, I take a long time to shit. I grabbed my back and slumg it over my shoulders before walking to my locker to get my Mathmatics textbook.

Once I've done so, I walked put of school. I almost got out of the school zone when I heard groanings and shoutings.

"Just fucking die! Grayson doesn't even like you. When he sees you, he would always beat you up for sure. He always looked at you because he always think of fucking ways to fucking beat you up till you fucking die! He's my boyfriend, you bitch! If you steal him away from me, I know for sure that you will not live anymore."

Just from the voice, I know it was my girlfriend. I stomped to the side of the school to see a couple of girls who were standing there with Jailena in front of them and a girl who looked awfully familiar. Then, I realised it was Mitchie. She was being knelt on the floor while two of Jailena's friends hold her arm to hold her up and anorher holding her head up so that she's looking at Jailena.

Her eyes were shut. Her chest raised up and down at a fast rate. There were blood at the side of her mouth and her cheeks were slightly swollen. I ran to where they were and stood behind them. Due to Jailena not being able to see me since her back was facing me, her friends dropped Mitchie to the floor. Her body seemed so lifeless on the grass.

"If I ever see you and Grayson sitting together or getting friendly with him, Grayson wouldn't receive any punishment but you are going to get the fucking punishment. And it sure as hell would be 100 times worst. Do you understand me, bitch?!" Jailena shouted in her ear after she knelt down and bend over so her mouth was closer to Mitchie's ear.

Jailena slapped Mitchie's face before standing up and turned around. She abruptly stopped when she saw me. She ram to me and hugged me. Fake cries were heard. I pushed her away and looked at her.

"Grayson! She threatened to beat me up if I didn't want to hand you to her. I love you, Grayson and I will never want to leave you. Ever. Beat her up, Grayson." Jailena cried, running to me for a hug but I stopped her.

"You think I never saw what exactly happened? You were the one threatening her. You were the one who beat her up. I haven't even made her face like that and you already beat her up till her face looked completely ruined. C'mon, Jailena. Fucking grow up. I know you don't love me. You only used me for sex. We both don't love each other and I know for sure that I fucking hate you after what you've done to Mitchie." I growled.

"What the hell, Grayson! I really love you! Don't do this to me please! She deserved to be treated like this. Even you beat her up. Look at her hand! You are the cause of it." Jailena replied, raising her voice.

"Whatever. You and me, end. Let's just forget about whatever that had happened between us and leave me alone. I also don't want to be friends with you. Got that? If I see you hurt her one more time, you will fucking regret it."

With that, she ran and her friends followed behind her like lost chicks searching for their mothers. I quickly ran to Mitchie's side and helped her up. She doesn't even look at me. She's so weak after getting beaten up by Jailena and her friends. I took her backpack and slung it over my shoulders so now I have two bags on my shoulders.

I carried her bridal style and ran all the way home. I pressed on the doorbell rapidly since I know I couldn't open the door on my own. The door opened and Ethan stood in the doorway with his eyes wide open. I pushed my way through him, running up the stairs and into my room. I placed her on the bed and sprinted to the kitchen, getting a clean towel and a bowl of ice water.

I quickly but carefully made my way to back to my room, to see Ethan beside her. Her eyes were closed and she really look like a dead body now. I placed the bowl amd the towel on my bedside table and stood up to wash my hands in the bathroom. Once I was done, I got out but got immediately pinned against the wall by Ethan. His hands were on my collar and he looked infuriated.

"What the fuck did you do to her?" Ethan shouted in my face.

"Chill, br-"

"You expect me to fucking chill? C'mon. I've stayed quiet all this time and you already got on my last nerve. I thought you wouldn't do anything to her again after I gave you her number. I was wrong to believe you, wasn't I?"

"Listen to me, Ethan. I didn't do this. But it's my fault that this happened to her. I think Jailena caught me staring at Mitchie a lot and thought that I like her. She wasn't happy so she beat her up. I was use walked out of school when I saw it happening. I stopped her from doing anything further. I broke up with her today." I explained. "And well, about her hand. I didn't mean to do it. I was forced to do it. I'll make it up to her. I'll take care of her. Don't worry."

Ethan gave me a hug and a kiss on Mitchie's cheeks. Jealousy came through me. I wish I could do the same. But I know I couldn't. Taking the dry towel, I soaked it in the cold water and dabbed in on her swollen cheeks and wiped the blood of her mouth. She winced at the contact of the towel on her swollen areas.

"Ethan!" I shouted.

He came within seconds. Holy shit. This boy's fast.

"What do you need?" Ethan asked.

"Um. Can you call her parents and tell them that she's sleeping over today? I still feel really bad about this. I'll take care of her today and tomorrow. Make up some excuses if you need to."

"Alright. Take care of her. I'll go to her parents house and tell them about it." Ethan said, patting my shoulder.

I nodded and laid my head next to her body. I held her hands in mine and just looked at her. I didn't even realise how beautiful she is. Her eye lashes were long. Her lips were plump and pink. Her brown hair was wavy. Her body has the curves that a lot of girls wanted. I just realised about it today. She was the most beautiful girl I've seen. No one, not even Jailena can beat her beautiful features.

I let go of her hand and went into the kitchen, seeing my mom cooking. My mom is always cooking. I grabbed a bowl of different fruits in it from the fridge and walked to the kitchen counter.

"Do you want to eat, honey?" My mom asked, stirring some food in the saucepan.

"Nah. I'm good." I rejected, showing her the bowl of fruits.

I took the bowl with me and walked out of the kitchen. I reversed back a little, popping my head out a little so that my mom could see me.

"Oh yeah. Mom, a friend of mine is sleeping over. It's a girl by the way. She's sleeping in my room." I said, smiling to her.

"Alright, hun. Call her down for dinner later." My mom replied, smiling from ear to ear.

Maybe she thought that we were together.

"If she wakes up, then we will go down. If she doesn't, then you'll meet her tomorrow morning."

"Okay, hun."

I smiled to her one last time before walking back to my room, chewing on the fruits. I sat down on the floor next to my bed and took my laptop from my study table and switched on some action movie. Once I was done with my fruits, I placed the bowl and my laptop away and laid my head next to her. I took her hand and hold it in mine. I just hope she would forgive me and want to be friends with me one day.
