Her Vampire Mate

CHAPTER 5 Samantha's School Life

"She is your secretary."

In answer to William's harsh question to Samantha, assistant Andrew should first.

"What?"

Both Samantha and William scream in unison, making Andrew covered his ears.

"I can't work with her."

William said stubbornly.

"Even I can't work with him."

I guess I have never against anybody in these many years, not even uncle John and aunt Diana who always torture me, except William.

William was a famous bad boy, a rich brat of the school who seems to have a problem with me only.

The year Ashley entered the school and finally, I got a good friend William also enrolled in our high school.

He becomes the famous bad boy of the school in just one day and rich boys and girls, who wanted to please a rich, spoiled brat.

Though he was two years senior to me, he would still always used to irritate me, and me as usual being timid choice to avoid him.

Sometimes he snatches my lunch plate or makes it fall on the floor. That brings tears to my eyes because this is what I could not get at my home, but these rich brats couldn't understand these things.

Sometimes he emptied his coke bottle on my head or hit me with rotten eggs. I used to become a laughingstock by others.

If I was walking silently in the corridor either William himself or with the help of any of his friends, make me tripped by their legs and fell down so that they can get one more chance to laugh at me.

If I would cry in front of them they would only make even more fun of mine, that's why I used to hide in the washroom and cry my heart out.

Even when I was on the verge of breakdown I couldn't retort because of my timidness.

Then one day William made me tripped when I was going to submit my physics model for my final assessment and made me fall.

My physics model broken into several pieces and my heart also broken.

"Look guys, the ugly lizard had fallen again."

William made fun of me and started laughing at me with all his friends.

I was last care about his laugh and words and looking towards broken project model with foggy eyes.

This is for my entire year's hard work. If I couldn't able to clear my year or if I had to repeat them aunt Diana would also not spare me and don't how many times she will beat me for this mistake. My heart jolted with the thoughts, I stood up and held William's cost, who was laughing at me, and shook him.

"What the hell are you laughing for, do you think it's funny to make me tripped and see me fall every day multiple times?"

"Do you think you achieved the biggest goal in your life when you made my lunch fall on the floor? You rich brats don't know the value of food. Only a starving person knew what is the value of one time mask which you make feel on the floor and laughed proudly."

I leave his collar, who was standing stunned after listening to my confrontation.

Even his errands for boys and girls were also looking at me with wide eyes and open mouth.

Obviously, they didn't expect the confrontation from a timid girl like me, but I didn't buy their glares and continued yelling.

"Do you all think it's so joyous to be errands of a rich brat and do everything whatever he said and bullied a girl again and again who never retort? If you still are so powerful then why are you so up to, to bully a timid girl, why can't you bully any strong not or girl? Try to bully this William of you all are so capable."

My mind was bursting in anger and my eyes were sitting on fire I wanted to say many more things but somebody put jeans on my shoulder making me control myself.

I turned around and found Ashley, my only friend and only girl in the entire school who take to like a normal human being.

"Sam, control yourself. They all are malapert, heartless people that's why your emotional words didn't work on them."

Though I don't know anything about Ashley's family, she is also the daughter of rich parents and none of them date this retort wherever Ashley meddle and stops them getting bullying me. Even William pursed his lips with the sight of Ashley. That's why many times Ashely saved me from being billed.

I even noticed they only tried to bully me when Ashley was not around but realized it very late.

"William, this time you have gone far. You have to answer the principal."

Ashley warned him and started dragging me by pulling my hand.

"What, principal?"

More than William, I was flabbergasted. Definitely, I don't like William and his errands but I don't want to complain against them, otherwise, they will make my life even worse in the school.

"No, Ashley, I don't want to do that."

I protested and here I back to my shell covered with timidness.

"Shut up Sam, I don't know why do you tolerate those scurrilous brats. Do many times I asked you to fight for yourself."

Ashley lectured me many times before, but nothing is changed with me.

"For the first time you did correct by retorting, but this will not fix your hard worker project and couldn't make her grades to get a pass."

Ashley's words once again drown me in the pain of my broken project and fear of getting failed to clear the year.

"So you have to complaint against William and make him realize he can't do anything whatever he wants."

Ashley's speech motivated me, and I followed her.

Later I heard that William's parents were called to meet the principal, and that was the last year of William in the school, that's why after that I didn't see him again in the school.

Still, that incident made me feel a pang of hatred for William, which I never felt for anybody in my entire life. After requests from the principal through Ashley, I got done extra time to get complete my physics model once again, which consume mine did much time, energy, and some amount of money, which is very important for me.

This repeated work made me punish in the packhouse so many more times by either aunt Diana or other pack members.

The only good outcome was William had gone from my life forever.

Though William had gone but bullied didn't stop completely, but yes reduced a bit.

After that, I again hide inside my shell and never retort again, which encouraged the boys and girls to bully me more.

That was the last, I speak so much in one go and perhaps the first time in my life I vent my pain and anger, but now I am regretting it.

Today again standing in front of William I am regretting to get flowed in Ashley's speech and complaint against William making the time touch for him even for a day or so.

"You both don't have any choice. You have to work together and it's president Gilbert's order. If you want, you can talk to him."

Assistant Andrew's words sounded ruthless in my ears. Obviously, I can't talk to President Gilbert regarding this matter, and I don't know about this William.

I have a glance at him who was in a daze and immediately turned my gaze before he could notice me.

I was hopeful that he will talk to President Gilbert because he also hates me as much as I do and definitely doesn't want to work with me.

"It's alright, I will manage.'

William utter these words, making me jolt.

What he is agreed to work with me? Does he also acted to talk to President Gilbert or her wanted to torture me again as he used to do in the past? Will be staying built me?

Now I got it, he wanted to avenge me for the complaint I did to the principal, but that was not my choice. Ashley forced me.

Shut up Samantha, what are you thinking, do you think this brat will buy your explanation and mend his ways?

Yes, he will not mend his ways, but I will also not let him bully me like in the past.

But what should you do Samantha, you are timid and used to get bullied by others?

No, Samantha, you are not like before, you already showed enough courage when you ran away from the packhouse, and don't forget last time you even confront him strongly.

Yes, Samantha, you are courageous and can fight for yourself. Even you can't still you have to because now Ashley is not with you to help.

I gathered courage and lift my head to look into William's eyes which were having evil glitter in it lips are also smiling evilly.

My all courage simply sank in the deep ocean of my fear. William's evil face was proving my thoughts are right he wanted you to bully and torment me.

"Come here, you ugly lizard."

William again called me by this humiliating name. I gulped the insult with my saliva and walked towards him.

I will definitely retort to him if he will go far. I again console myself.

William definitely wanted to torment me, but that his mobile phone started ringing.

"Hello."

"........"

"What, but why?"

"........."

"Alright."

I don't know what the person at the other end of the call was saying but I could see William's shocked, displeased, and after that annoying expression.

"What is your name, hmm, Samantha, right?"

What happened to him, why is selling for my name out of the blue?

I didn't answer, just nod my head.

"Samantha, take these files and make a soft copy on the computer. Your cabin is next to my cabin."

I could have fainted from shock if I wouldn't hold the large table to comfort myself.

Why William's way of addressing words, tone, pitch everything has changed towards me just after one call?

Should I believe him or is this his alternative plan to torment me later?

"Miss Samantha, you are my secretary so it's your job to maintain my schedule so please write down your number here so that I can contact you anytime."

"I don't have a mobile."
