Behind his reputation

Cassidy

Cassidy's POV

It's been two years since my mom turned her back on me when all I ever did was love that woman .

I don't think I ever want to see her again I'd probably kill her with my bare hands it's also been two years trying to escape my tormentor but he has these connections I can't escape he will find me no matter what and that's on being helpless.

The truth is I never had friends because I'm not exactly the outgoing type of person i'm normally shy when it comes to making friends.

students at my old school normally picked on me cause I'll normally wear the same grey hoodie for months but don't get me wrong it did kinda stank but I had no other alternatives considering I don't have money to buy new ones. I tried working once but my tormentor threatened the boss to fire me and he looked scared out of his mind. so you see my life is not exactly a bed of rose.

Today was my first day at Stargazors high and don't ask how I got into one of the best school's in town cause I don't know the answer to that it just happened.

I haven't shower in three days I really needed to take a bath all I did was locked myself up in my room and cry and hope that my tormentor doesn't return any time soon.

I removed my clothing ready to get in the shower and that's when I saw the scar I was hiding for so long now.

flashbacks

2 years ago..

"mom! he's not home let's go before he returns", said in fear.

"Get your things quickly hunny" , she replied.

I scurried to my room packing up the things I needed the most cause we didn't know when he was gonna return so we needed to hurry and get out.

I met with my mom downstairs and she opened the door for me then followed behind we rushed to the car and drove off without a second thought.

we weren't quite enlightened on where we was going to stay so we just continued driving for two hours straight but then my mom suggested we stay at my aunt's house until we figure out where we we're going to stay. few hours later we arrived at our aunt's house and my mom stepped out of the car and opened the door for me.

Before I came out of the car my eyes landed on the last person I wanted to see. I just sit there trembling in fear and my mom finally turned around to see what I was looking at and when she saw she looked as if she just saw her life flash right before her eyes.

Then she jumped in the car and drove leaving me behind. I couldn't process all this why would she leave me in a time of need my own mother betrayed me.

I turned my head to look at him to see him already staring at me with a look of anger and dissatisfaction on his face and it made my blood ran cold.

I turned my glance away and thought twice before sprinting away.

"oh s**t", I cursed when I nearly tripped over a rock right next to the tall tree I used to play when I was a kid I just wish things could go back that way.

Before I knew it my tormentor was already standing behind me with a knife in his hand looking ready to attack his prey. I closed my eyes silently praying for god to send some miracle my way.

"it was you isn't it"? ,he spoke with such hatred in his tone.

"w-what"? ,I stuttered.

"you gave her the idea to escape you ungrateful wretch" ,he accused but I knew it was only the truth so I stayed quite.

"I will make your life hell than it already is", said then slowly started approaching me. 'I will make sure to leave scars on you everyday of your life I will make you my slave ',he said evily and I winced at the sound of his voice. He grabbed my hands and and rolled down my sleeves and stabbed me with the knife and I cried out but he only laughed.

"this is what happens when you disobey", he smiled which was sickening considering one of his front tooth is missing I wanted to puke so badly.

"Get in the car ",he ordered and I hesitated at first but I knew I had no other choice.

from that day he made sure to leave scars on me each day and I couldn't do anything about it .

End of flashbacks..

After I finished throwing on my grey sweater ,a blue leggings and a pair of grey converse I headed straight to the kitchen to look after some spaghetti and boiled eggs.

I stepped out of the bus feeling nervous as ever .

I walked through the hallways ignoring the burning stares in the back of my neck and hush whispers, I hated being in the spotlight I like to keep my reputation on the low. I needed to pick up my Timetable but I didn't know where to go this place is twice the size of my old school.

"Excuse me, where can I find the office?" I asked the boy dressed in a black jeans and a white T standing next to me.

"Go straight then make a left turn" he replied quickly then Left. what was that about, anyways.. I did just that .

When I reached the principal's office I took a deep breathe before knocking on the door.

"Give me a few minutes," someone yelled.

ok..I trailed off.

I was standing there for over six minutes and as I was about to knock again I saw the most beautiful creature on the planet.He was wearing a black ripped jeans and a black leather jacket that embraced his masculinity,

it's almost like he was stripping me naked with his eyes.

His eyes don't get me started they we're bright yet so dark I bring my self to look away I was captivated. Then I saw an angry scowl on his face and that's when I snapped out of my thoughts.

He walked towards me not breaking eye contact and I wanted to disappear at this point.

"your in my way,"he said in a very menacing tone and I couldn't help but tremble at his tone.

"I'm sorry,"I replied shaking because he reminded me of how my tormentor would speak with to me and I saw pity flashed through his eyes.What an amazing way to start off the day (note the sarcasm).

I moved out of his way and he knocked on the door. "it's Ace" he said sounding bored and the principal told him to come in.

"what the heck"? I face palmed myself I've seen standing here the whole time and all he did was say it's Ace and got through that's so unfair.

As he was about to step inside I asked him if he could possibly grab my timetable for me.

"No problem", he replied.

few seconds he came holding my timetable and I told him a short thanks but not before he told me that I owed him great just freaking great.

I looked at my timetable and saw that my first period was English which was my strongest subject I walked towards class with a small smile on my face. Well maybe today won't be so bad I mean I just met the hottest creature on the planet.

*winks*

My heartbeat accelerated as I neared the classroom, forcing myself to calm down I entered the class and everyone stopped what they doing and looked at me. I just wanted to shout "what y'all looking at " but, I know better than to do that.

"Listen up everyone, this is your new classmate Cassidy Jones" the teacher told the class.

"what a hottie," a guy yelled and everyone laughed.

"be quiet young man," the teacher scold and he held his hands up in defeat.

"would you like to tell the class about yourself," She asked and I felt sick at that. I didn't want people finding out that I was betrayed by my mother or that I was being abused almost every day I needed to do everything I possibly could to keep that hidden.

My tormentor has connections so if I try to snitch he would find out and my punishment would be ten times worst than the usual.

"No ," I replied shakily.

"very well go take a seat ," she clasped her hands.

I took a seat right next to a brunette in the back of the classroom she was literally hot ,She had on a purple flower dress and matching chain and earrings.

"hi," she said shyly, I couldn't help but notice the adorable dimples in her right cheek.

"Hey what's your name," I said keeping it short the last thing I wanted to do is make friends cause I knew one day my secret will be revealed and I don't wanna risk it .

"I'm Samantha,"she smiled.

"Nice to me meet you," I said looking away

Class was really boring I knew everything the teacher was teaching so I didn't have to do much. I sat down waiting for the bell to dismiss us but it was taking too long and before I knew it I fell asleep in class.

"Wake up,the bell just rang" someone said and I looked up and saw Samantha looking down on me in amusement.

"thanks", I yawned and she giggled a bit.

"wanna hang out for lunch," she asked and I thought about if for a sec ,I couldn't bring myself to turn her down she was too kind.

"sure why not"I genuinely smiled at her and she jumped up and down in excitement and I laughed at her it been so long since I didn't have to fake a laugh it felt so good.

Me and Samantha headed towards the cafeteria and ordered lunch. I hated eating at school but today I was starving because I didn't bother eating breakfast.

I sat down and ate in silence but Samantha didn't stop being a fan girl over the fictional character from the assassination classroom anime it was annoying but I liked how her eyes glow every time she mentioned his name and his fighting skills I used to love watching anime but not anymore I lost the kid in me.

I heard everyone whispering so I looked where their attention was and my eyes landed on the same guy from earlier only he was alongside his friends and he looked a lot more pissed.

Girls we're giving him flirtatious stares as he walked by looking uninterested. My attention was so fixed on him that I spilled my water on Samantha's jeans.

"I'm so sorry," I said immediately and she laughed.

"Don't worry nobody can resist his charms even when he's know longer rich he just knows how to maintain his image," she said rolling her eyes .

"what do you mean," I asked her out of curiosity. he was rich I needed to find out everything I knew I sounded like a crazy stalker but whatever.

"it's not my place to tell,"she shrugged me off. it seemed as if she had something against him though but I didn't bother to continue this conversation.

"If you wanna find out get to know him yourself,"she added but I didn't reply but I did think about it.
