The Love Spell

Chapter Two

My stomach plummets,when my eyes lands on Sofia Hemsworth,who was intensely noting each and every movement of me with her frowned angry eyes which was almost red with small red veins popped out inside her eyes with an ire as they were staring at me.I swallow and take my books from the counter slowly glancing at them once and twice hesitantly checking,what were they up to.They were steady at pace in the palace where they were standing as thier four pairs of two eyes were staring at me wildly like they were in a mood to prey on me for their lunch.

I slowly walk,foot by foot hesitantly towards the door when, Melisha steps forward and stands beside me and I stop in front of them.

"Miss Nerdy had forgotten some manners for some time.."she tells in a mocking tone with a teasing grin on her red lips.

"Of course she has!"agrees Ruth from the left side corner where she stood beside her leader Sofia.

"Lets teach her some manner so,"Sofia's anger disappears and a smirk replaces on her facial expression."Too much of manners, for messing up with my boyfriend!"she splutters as she walks forward in a wildly manner towards me.

I back my steps while someone grabs me from my coat and crashes me towards the wall.My body knocks and gives me a slight pain.I sign with pain and turn while Sofia spins me and pushes me pasting to the wall.She places her both the hands on either side of me on the wall,covering me from any escape.Precaution huh!?.

Her dangerous grayish green eyes stares at me wide.Her eyebrows were pulled down with her jutting chin and I noticed that she had turned red.The colour of her face mostly reminds me of a tomato and my lips automatically parts with a smile, showing off my pearl white teeth out.

Sofia's eyebrows curves with confusion."What are you laughing at you i***t!?,"she asks stern and harshly punches one of her hand harder on to the wall,which made me quite control myself."How dare you mess up with my boyfriend and smirk like this, huh?"she sneers flaring her nostrills,moving her face closer to mine.I feel her hot breath and her feminine strawberry scent overlaid filling my nostrils with her perfume.

"I think she smells like wet old moss"Melisha makes a comment about me and the all three copy cats of little Miss Sofia starts laughing like witches.

I roll my eyes away from her to all of them.Melisha is wearing a red strapless dress with heavy dark makeup and her black hair was tinted with honey brown.She had her hair loose today and it fall over her shoulders.

My gaze then falls on to Camila who stops laughing when her black eyes locks with my chocolate brown ones.She wears a normal blue basic top and a denim short.

"She might be worse than that,"I notices Ruth make a compliment with a nasty smirk,showing her white teeth fully out."Orphan brat!"she mutters.

Suddenly I had the urge to smack her nose into pieces but,I had to control myself if I want to leave the washroom alive.

Control yourself Holly!...

You can't make this moment go worse..

"She is not an orphan!"Sofia remarks frowning and slowly moving her face inches from me.She tilts her head to the right,yet her eyes fixed onto me.

She was tearing up my soul with her fierce pair of eyes.

"Her parents,"she pauses,l*****g her dark red lips and studies me top to toe before continuing after exhaling sharply."Her..parents left her alone and ran away"she smirks nastily with a quick wink which she gives me with her left eye.

"Why is that?"Camila suddenly pop up a question confusion replacing her expression.

Sofia takes few seconds before she responses."That's because they hate her..They never wanted to have an unlucky daughter like her.She was a bad fortune for her mothers life!"she says her eyebrows raised high and her tone mocking at me.

She was a bad fortune to her mother!?...

What the hell was she talking about?...

Mark my words that was wrong!..

Sofia never has the idea of perorating my personal issues to others in a right way.She always wants to make up things from the really formed once and give others about me a very bad perception or image.

I don't even understand why does she do it to me..

I don't get the idea of why she hates me this much till now...

But,I could tell that she had this bad attitude of pulling of my friends away from me by putting bad things about me into their minds.Once Camila had been my friend in the juniors and I never knew what happened around her but,she just left me after about weeks we had gone together to Sofia's birthday party where she invited all of the class students including Ryder.

Even though,that it wasn't true that I was a bad fortune to my mother,she never much cared about me.She only always wanted to make her life happy with whatever she wanted.My mother never loved me as much as I knew.She had the mind set only on her Job and money.She wanted to earn more and more and live a very wealthy life without any life issue.

As a child I had yearned for mothers love each and everyday when she left me alone in her apartment leaving for work.My dad had been busy with his own concerns ,after all he was a working man.Both of them had different two ways of path to reach their goals while I was left alone at home,no one to speak with or share my feelings with.I had struggled a lot more to gain her attention on me but,for no avail that I had to give up at last.Dad on the other side had some personal issue with my mom and he moved out of the house for few month while I had to complete my junior years at school.He came back when I had to give up everything and move out of my parents cage.I fought for the love which I never got from my mother and ended up at last living alone by myself with my cousin Daniel who was now moved to Mexico,handing me his little modern apartment in the Babington building.

The noise of clipping fingers together in front of my face interrupts my mental rants.

"Oh,Miss nerdy has drowned in her own world!.Come back before you die in there"Sofia barbs giving me a devilish smirk.

She was accurately the worst devil in my school life!...

Her words clearly manifests her hatred for me...

"I..I need to go"I say calmly and try to move from her when Melisha comes forward with her eyebrows frowned.

"So quick?"she gives a mocking smirk toward me."We did not start our lessons yet!,"she says."So,let's start with your mess up with Ryder".

Why,don't they just put this off...

"Why the hell were you knocking him off?"Sofia asks in a mild tone with a hidden ire in it as like I have done the worst sin in the whole universe.

I inhale sharply and look into her grayish green eyes."That.Was an accident"I confess.

"But,it did not seem too!,"Melisha sakes her head,raising both of her eyebrows with wide-eyes."That was like it was on purpose!"she clamors her eyes locking with Sofia's.

They both stare at each other for a second and the Sofia turns her gaze to me.

"You knocked me off before,"she states."And,that was on purpose too wasn't it?"her eyes blazed like fire with rage.

"No.That too was an accident"I nod with conformation and grip my books closer to my chest,adjusting my glasses upward my nose.

"Oh!,"Ruth rumbles behind her."How could everything become an accident at the same time?.Just before the second you knock on to Ryder you crashed onto Sofia!.How could that be an accident?".She raises her eyebrows pulled together."Do you having any messing up diseases?".

All four of them laugh together,their laughters echoing inside the four cold walls.

"I can tell that was on purpose for sure..."Camila exclaims and I give her a death glare and she averts her gaze to the ceilings.

Why don't they just leave me alone!.

I push my glasses up my nose brigade.

Screw my glasses!

Melisha sighs heavily and waves her hand in the air dismissively."Whatever it was,"she says."Didn't you spill the coffee on Ryder yesterday?"she asks her eyes narrow and one of the eyebrows raised.

My heart begins to accelerate its pounding faster when she comes up with that question.I am embarrassed.Every of their gazes are fixed on me while they await for an answer.

My skin crawls when I look into Sofia's devilishly staring green eyes.I gulp twice and feel my mouth dry.Yesterday!.I recall my memory at the cafeteria,when I walked in to get some coffee from the vending machine after classes to caffeine me up.To put out my study stress.

After filling the plastic cup with coffee,I turn around and walk when some one puts their leg on my path purposely .Loosing my balance I trip forward,my grip on the cup loosens and it spills everything on to someone who stood in front of me.

The minute when everyone in the cafeteria started shouting,my mind wadered around ,my heart hammering harder inside my chest.

"Nerd has got Ryder bath!"

Someones voice popped up louder and thats when I knew that my coffee was spilt on Ryder ,who was having a chit chat with his friends ,standing beside the occupied table.I told him sorry but,you know what happens to me when I see him.

My cheeks turned hot and my body trembled with nervousness.

Then my body growing weaker,I had to run out of the cafeteria ,even before he could retort me a word.

But,how did Melisha know about it?,She was not there at all...

Was she there?...

No she wasn't...Holly why don't you remember?....Was she there or not!!...

At this moment I very well fathom, all of these four were witches who could stay anywhere you go and find anything about you to take revenge on purpose.They knew everything that I do around school and there were no anyway to hide from them.

I feel to disappear in the thin air...

Why don't a huge hole appear in the ground and swallow me in?...

I want that to happen right now!.

Oh Lord,How in the world was that possible only for them to find out about me each time I have something to do with Ryder!?.

I sigh heavily.

"What are you thinking?,"Ruth asks frowning at me."Answer for what we have asked for!"she snaps her voice stern and rough startling me.

I take a deep breath and then shrug slightly."That...That was just an accident!"I admit.

"You see that?"Melisha asks Sofia."I told you that she always has something to do with Ryder!"she rests her hands on her hips with a distastefull face.

"Last time I saw her with Ryder in the foot ball practice ground.."Ruth starts to tell something and stops when Sofia helds her palms at Ruth to stop.

"Don't you dare have an excuse for each incident that links Ryder with you,"her tone is harsh,raw and her voice spontaneously threatening me.She looks wild and devilish.Her eyes blazing out anger towards me."I have told you before to stay away from him!"she blusters.

An unknown feeling of hurt pricks inside my soul and raises an defensive anger out of me."What the hell did I do?"I respond cracking disrespectfully.

What really did I do wrongly

Why can't she just make it off...leaving me away alone out of her spontaneous bothering...

Sofia stares at me with wide eyes,her eyebrows pulled down and her mouth flattened with red face.

"CAN'T TO SEE!,YOUR TRYING TO STEAL SOMEONE ELSE BOYFRIEND!,"Sofia yells snapping down the books in my hand, harder with anger.When a pain creases to my arms I unconsciously drop all my books to the floor."Stay AWAY from my boyfriend..YOU s**t!"she bursts out, making her friends shock as they stand froze with their eyes widen and jaws dropped almost to the floor.

Your trying to steal someone else boyfriend!.

The words replays in my mind bringing her voice back in mind again and again.

Did I try to steal her boyfriend?.

No never!.

She was the one who stole my teenage crush away from me!.....

And I should point out her for my huge heart break that I was still lasting from last month.

Sofia was the one who stole Ryder from me and now she trys to point me out with the blame.

I feel a stab of hurt inside me when the thoughts of Ryder comes back to me.

She called me a s**t!.

Sofia was the one who stole him from me and she is the one to be called as a Slut.But,what could change?,no one ever knows that I love Ryder so much more than anything else.

And,I'm NOT a s**t!..

"Look...I...I just.."I try to explain about the situation which could not be explained and Melisha interrupts me in the middle of my sentence.

"What are you trying to explain?,"she raises her eyes brows."Stop being a bogus!,"she brabs frowning her eyebrows snapping together."We know what happens between you and Ryder...We are not kids!"she protests.

So they knew?.Do they?.

What were they talking about?,I never told anyone that I love Ryder...

No one ever knows about my secret except...

Confusion over takes my mind while Sofia's angry red face stares at me like she was about to smack pointedly on my nose.

As a precaution I had nothing to do for what would be coming after me.

"Why don't you keep your path away from Ryder?,"she asks me angrily,her nose turned to sneer."I have told you so many times and yet,you do the same...Crossing in between his lines!"she scowls.

I had the stab of hurt but an over rage of defensive anger entitled me from my soul."I.Did.Not.Do.Anything!"I snap sternly and crook down to pick my books.

Watching my action intensely,Sofia purposefully places her high heel foot on my note papers, not allowing me to pick them up.

I tilt my head and stand upright properly fixing my gaze directly into her eyes."What's your problem?"I ask crossing my hands closer to my chest and taking a sharp breath in."Why don't you just leave me off?".

Her expression hardened."Don't you get?,"she asks a vein popping out of her neck."STAY.AWAY.FROM.RYDER!"she shouts again.Her voice echoing around the washroom leaving a creepy trace.

What was her problem really?...

Is she mad or what?...

That was an accident that I knocked on to him...her beloved lover boy!...

Anyways he would never like a nerd like me..

So,what bothers her much when she has got him with her?....

I don't understand these popular crazy prodigy....

She's so strange and weird....

I part my lips to response when Ruth interferes in between us.

"Leave it Sofi,"she tells her."Anyways,she's just a crap...Ryder will never even look at her,"she snaps."I mean..just look at the way she looks,so...nerdy and crappy on fashion sense.Must inform about those huge glasses which almost covers half of her face.She just looks like a female version of a minion"she says with a distasteful impression.

"I agree with that too,"Melisha crosses her hands across her chest,tapping one of her foot."She does look a lot unfashionable..and thats anomaly her way.And,I do agree that Ryder will not even give her a second glance!"she barbs.

Ryder will not even give her a second glance...Ryder will not even give her a second glance....

The words reverberates on my mind again and again.Even tough,my half heart accepts that it was true,the other half argues with the statement.

Will he never give me a second glance?

I feel worried.I feel bad for being like me.It really makes me worry when that question takes the whole attention of my mind.

Will he never give me a second glance?....

I don't know....

But,I will have to accept with the truth that my soul ignores.

He will not!...

He will never ever give me second glance at all....

I feel the stab of pain dig inside my heart,building up a sadness over my emotions average.

I feel my chest become heavy as tears starts to blur my vision.I know that,Ryder falling in love with me will never be possible but still there were little few hopes left,which my mind starts to doubt again.

I clear my tears twice snapping my eye lids before anyone notices, I had tears on which would also conform them that I really had something for him.

Sudden action which came out from Sofia startles me.She covers me to the wall and I back my steps, closing the either side of ways for my escape with her two hands placed to the wall.

"Look,"she snaps."I don't know about whatever your doing around Ryder..but, stay away from him and thats my warning"she sneers."Or you could take it as my command!".

I tuck the bangs of hair that covers my eyes behind my ears and then gaze at her hesitantly.

"But...,"I adjust my glasses and fix my eyes onto her grayish green ones, deeply like touching the fire"But,that was an accident and..."I trail off.

Why can't I just count on my words?..

"What ever that WAS!,"she growls."STAY AWAY FROM MY RYDER!"she shouts and I hear her voice echoing around the washroom,hard and strong.The anger from her soul flashes in her bright eyes making me fear for something that I shouldn't be to.

I part my lips and I'm about to response her with something when an un-familiar voice pops in between us.

"Will you both please keep your disciplines on!"I hear the stern and polite tone of a familiar person and we both turn our gazes together towards the doorway ,confusion and insecurity lightening up.
