The Bully And The Nerd.

Chapter Nine.

Daisy's P. O. V.

Savannah, The girl with Long Ginger hair, and fake eyelashes called

So, they know each other. I thought standing by the side.

Veronica, Savannah, called back with a hardened glare confirming my suspicion.

The girl in question, Veronica stepped forward. Everything about her and her friends screamed expensive taste mixed with luxury, From her fitted designer clothes to her white heels balanced perfectly on her manicured toe nails but what stood out most was not her beauty it was her attitude.

What are you doing here?? Vannah questioned Crossing her arms below her chest.

Thought I'll pay my Ex_ Bestie a visit. She said tone dripping in false sweetness.

At the mention of Ex_Bestie my eyes widened was she the same betrayal from Vannah's story.

Haven't you done enough stealing Jonathan was apparently was not enough huh.

"Jonathan, as in your boyfriend, I didn't steal him". He chose me. She said arrogantly.

Ex_Boyfriend now apparently. Vannah corrected.

Okay and so. Veronica said without remorse.

And that's all what you have to say??

What do you expect Tears, apology, nah I'm Veronica Hayes, I don't plead. She scoffed arrogantly.

"What I wanted was Loyalty, and clearly it was too much to ask from a backstabber like you". Vannah shot back, eyes blazing red.

Watch your mouth. She began pointing fingers at Vannah, and suck it up b***h he chose me.

You w****d yourself around him. You're the jealous and wicked one.... Vannah screamed.

Hold it right there, Veronica interrupted, He came to me himself. I didn't force you obviously you were not enough nun she sneered.

I can't believe you were once my Best friend but I'm glad you picked up my left overs.

People change, I did too, you paraded him, and acted like you owned him and I showed you who was the actual owner. She bragged.

This isn't about Ownership it's about Respect. Vannah said, Voice soft now.

Ooh pls don't act all morally superior now. Acting like she's better. Righteous Savan.... But before Veronica could complete her name Vannah held up her hands.

Don't call my name from that filthy mouth of yours.

You're pathetic. Veronica accused smirking.

Honestly you're evil, and I can't believe you don't feel bad. Vannah said in disbelief.

Sincerely speaking Veronica began. "I don't regret it, You deserved everything you got Miss two goody shoes".

Karma will catch up with you, Vannah pointed. the tears flowing freely this time.

I stood beside her rubbing her shoulders to offer support.

Shoo you are too sensitive, always weak and crying. Pathetic fatherless b***h. Veronica insulted harshly.

Do not bring my late father into this. By this time Vannah's eyes had turn dangerously red coupled with her red hair she looked more than angry.

The mention of "Her Father" was very sensitive to her and it seemed to give her unmatched strength.

What will you do? Cry as always. Veronica mocked.

I decided to step in and I held Vannah to prevent matters from escalating as students had already gathered.

She looked up at me with teary eyes. Hey it's okay I assured her and we made eye contact for a brief time.

Who's this Fat thing?? The girl with Golden Blonde hair asked no one in particular as the whole crowd Burst into uncontrollable laughter I felt a surge of embarrassment, pain and humiliation.

I get it that am not as slim as they are but it doesn't give her the right to call me fat I felt my eyes began to water. One thing I hated was being call fat .

My eyes darted around seeking for help but they all remained unmoved enjoying the drama.

I felt all hope crash but then I heard Vannah speak. "Don't Talk To My Friend Like That" although the words were simple it meant a lot to me. She defended me.

And who's this one? The same Golden Blonde sneered casting Vannah a demeaning look.

Cut the Crap Regina, very well you know who I am. Vannah said bodly.

This, she's the newbie started school here yesterday. The other blonde with the sandy hair type said providing details about me, as if I wasn't there.

Ooh. The girl I now knew as Regina sneered looking at me like some piece of trash.

Daisy, Vannah called firmly "Let's go to class".

Okay. I nodded quickly, immediately following behind her.

Bitch we weren't done. Regina shouted from behind us.

Don't listen to her. Vannah told me.

V, so t_that gi_girl once was your f_friend??

Unfortunately yes. I regret the day I met her, unapologetic heartless b***h. Vannah cursed angrily.

You S_Shouldn't Cu_Curse too much.

Yeah, yeah she nodded she will meet her Waterloo very soon.

I nodded in agreement.

Excusee I need to go to the washroom I'm sure I look like s**t.

Go A_Ahead I'll be here.

Soon as Vannah left for the washroom and I was left standing alone.

Little girl, a deep masculine voice called from behind. I recognize that voice from anywhere and for a moment I froze.

Umm, I stuttered lowering my gaze to the floor I didn't like the way he was staring at me intently as if he was waiting to see me break.

Missed me already. He said devilishly.

No I didn't p_please get a_away from me. My attempts to act brave crumbled as I became a stuttering mess. He remain unfazed towering above me and I even felt shorter than I was.

What are you putting on. He began and I looked down at myself I was in clothes for crying out loud . did you even look at yourself in the mirror fat ass. He growled and I fought back tears.

I'm f_fat, let me be what are you d_doing with me. I didn't know where the courage to talk back came from, but I guess anger triggered the courage.

His eyes blazed with fury as he lifted my chin up with one finger and he stared deep into my soul as if he could read me.

I sed you've developed balls over night, you built your courage. He said in fake surprise.

please l_leave me alone. I pleaded Lowering my eyes to my feet.

He was about to speak before Vannah shouted from behind.

Daisy, she called.

Please, Vannah save me I begged as I started to tear up.

Bitch, why you acting like am hurting you. He asked as if he didn't just hurt me with his crude words.

Alec, please leave Daisy alone. Vannah interfered stepping forward.

Stupid, he yelled as if I want to be with a fat thing. The words landed cold and heavy.

He let go of me and turned on his heels then, as if he forgot something he turned back see y'all later little one. He was smiling as if he didn't just ridicule me.

Vannah rushed forward engulfing into a tight hug by this time tears were flowing freely and we both sobbed together. She stroked my hair softly and I started to hiccup as a result of the tears then she guided me to the washroom.

I avoided the mirror. I didn't want to see my reflection for fear I might even hate myself more. I washed my face while Vannah passed an handkerchief and for a while we stood in silence.

Am I fat?? I asked .

No of course sweetie you're not. Vannah replied quickly.

You S_Sure you a_are not t_telling me so I can feel better.

Absolutely not I'll kill for a shape like yours. Damn Your body is a work of art. Such a knockout. she added.

As much as her words felt funny. The pain wouldn't let me smile.

Wh_What that g_girl said, It was true?? I asked.

What?? Vannah asked looking genuinely confused.

Yo_Your Dad.

She nodded, trying to fight back tears.

I'm so sor_sorry. It all felt emotional, I would cry my heart out of I ever was to loose my dad, I wondered how she was holding up.

It's not your fault, She said managing to smile, It's all in the past.

I nodded, not wanting to discuss the topic further.

T_Thanks for bei_being there. I appreciated holding her hands softly.

I'll be there always and forever. she promised.

I don't k_know wh_what I'll do w_without you in my l_life.

You will survive, she said Laughing.

Nah I don't think so, I was being honest, I'd have broken down. They all seem to hate me here.

Due to the earlier Morning drama, we already missed first class. I checked my time table I had Biology while Vannah had history.

I felt Soo sad, How am I going to cope.

Vannah noticed the change in my mood Don't worry you will be fine. she cooed.

Maybe or may_maybe not. I said looking down.

Be positive and am escorting you to your new class.

Yeah, s_sure tha_thanks.

I was already seven minutes late by the time we arrived at the door.

Common, "Go in so you won't be more late". Vannah persuaded but my foot remained rooted.

Common, she coerced, pushing me slightly to the opened door and she disappeared.

Not cool, so am alone now. I thought before stepping inside slowly.

A pudgy fat woman dressed neatly in a white and black suit turned to face me. She looked at me, adjusted her glasses, then looked at her wrist watch then back at me. You're ten minutes late? She said demanding for an explanation.

I'm n_new, had pro_problems lo_locating my new class.i lied smoothly.

Next time don't be late. She said firmly.

Noted ma'am. I said still standing.

She turned around looked at me, then frowned when I was still standing, Have your seat Miss.... She trailed off.

"Daisy Wilson", I completed.

Miss Wilson, have your seat, She ordered turning back to the chalkboard.

My eyes scanned everywhere for an empty seat and my eyes land with a pair of green orbs and color drained from my face, so he's here too. I internally grimaced.

I found an empty seat beside a girl with Brown shoulder length hair and I approached nervously.

I was about to see but she shot me a sharp glare placing her bag pack on the empty seat I previously wanted to occupy.

Woah She's rude and mean. I shuffled on my seat absolutely confused.

Miss Wilson you still standing sit somewhere. The teacher shouted in anger and I jolted in fear.

I wasn't used to being spoke to harshly. Could this class get worse?

Hey you can sit with me. A cute guy with curly black hair and freckles scattered below his eyes offered kindly.

Thanks. I appreciated before breathing out in relief I sat down and brought out my writing materials.

I'm steve. He introduced smiling brightly.

Umm I began tucking a strand of my hair at the back of my ear.

Daisy, I said in a soft smile as I continued to write.

I was writting but then I had a nagging feeling someone was watching me out of curiosity I looked back only to see Alec's eyes on me glaring with his jaws clenched.

Then I saw Regina beside him smiling widely with her two bitchy friends behind her.

I shivered in fear looking back quickly to my notes I couldn't wait for class to be dismissed.

Class Dismissed. The teacher finally announced. My heart leapt for joy. I packed my things quickly rushing out of the class to avoid any contact or confrontation.

Heh slow down. Steve said panting.

What?? I asked as I waited.

Why were you running? He asked with a puzzled expression.

Em I do_dont want to be l_late for my n_next cl_class.

Can I get your number?? He asked scratching the back of his head.

Although, I didn't usually give my number out but he was kind to me I'll just repay the favor. After deciding I agreed.

Okay.

He reached out for his jean pockets pulling out his phone. He looked quite eager.

Here, he handed over the phone and I imputed my digits.

Thanks. He said when I was through, May I also say you look incredibly gorgeous. He complimented.

Thanks. I said blushing faintly.

I'll see you later? He asked hopefully.

Yeah, I nodded and he simply smiled before walking off and I did too I wanted to meet up with Vannah.

In the shadows, A figure stood in the corner observing the movement.
