Mr. CEO Is My Highschool Bully

Changing

“ Yes you are, and the only reason you're defending him is because you like him too”.

“ Stop”, I said, an unknown anger taking hold of me.

“ You like him, you're a fag too”, he continued, oblivious to my increasingly burning anger.

“ I said stop! I have a girlfriend, remember?” I said, almost raising my voice.

“ And so what? You could turn anytime. I've seen married men with children turn gay overnight, so don't think that you having a girlfriend means you're not”, he said, and he was right, “ in fact, I feel you're halfway there already. Weren't you all glued up with him before? Huh? Tell me Hakim, did you do it dirty when mommy wasn't looking”, he was laughing, enjoying the fact that he was making me feel small, “ I bet you'll be f*****g his little ass very soon, or worst still he will be the one f*****g you from behind”.

It was just too much, I couldn't take it. Even if it were to be rumored that I was gay, everything will go south. The social life I had, the friends I had, the parties, everything will end and I will be ridiculed, and let's not even talk about what my father will do to me.

I grabbed him by the collar and glared at him. “ f**k off asshole. Stop with the nonsense”, I said.

“ If it's not true, then teach that thing a lesson. Prove that he means nothing to you”, he said, and as I quietly nodded, an evil glint appeared in his eyes.

And so it all started, my proving to them that I wasn't gay and wasn't attracted to Dante.

It started small, a little push here and a little push there, then I started teasing him, the teasing turned into abusive blunts, and before I knew what was happening, I had graduated into giving him a full arm torture. I must've earned a doctorate degree in making his life miserable and unbearable, and I thought it could'nt get any worse, not until that day that he was brave enough to tell me to my face, in front of everyone, that he liked me.

I was literally begging him to take his words back, but he was too strong headed, and as I beat him almost to an early grave, my heart shattered in pieces. I couldn't forgive myself. I called the school clinic after everyone dispersed and later learnt that it wasn't a minor injury, he had broken ribs and arms. I visited the hospital where he was and cried out my heart, apologizing to him, but he couldn't hear it, he was in a coma. Even if he did hear it, I bet he wouldn't be able to bring himself to forgive me. After I left that day, I never saw him again. The universe had taken him away from me.

When I saw his name on the list of new staff at the firm, I knew that the universe was giving me a second chance. Fate was trying to bring us back together, and as I watched him leave my office, trailing behind Glinda, I swore to myself to make it up to him, to make him fall in love with me again.

I knew it was going to be hard, almost impossible, but I was prepared for anything, even the impossible.
