She's my mystery

Chapter 20

Layla's P.O.V.

After Ethan saved Mille and me from the crowd of people, we then agreed to meet up at lunch before we went our separate ways.. Mille and I walked to the Headmaster's office to tell him what happened and to see what he can do for me to be able to take my finals but away from everyone else..

"Excuse me, Mr. Adler.? Two seniors, Layla and Mille want to see you." Mr. Adler's secretary peeked through the door and asked..

"Please send them in.." Mr. Adler said and his secretary then opened the door for us and we went in..

"Layla, you are back.?" Mr. Adler said when he saw me enter behind Mille..

"Hi Mr. Adler. Yes, but it might have been a mistake.." I said and said down opposite him and Mille to the right of me..

"How come.?" he questioned, and rested his right hand on his chin..

"We got surrounded by a lot of people from all around campus that knows about Layla being taken, that wanted her to answer all sorts of stupid questions and most of them were really disrespectful.." As Mille told him, what happened, I fumbled with my hands in my lap..

"I'm so sorry to hear that, are you both okay.?" he asked, concerned.. Mille just nodded, so he then looked at me..

"I am fine, but it was really overwhelming, having people I don't really know ask me about my ex and about what happened to me.. I don't hide it, but it's only people close to me that need to know those kinds of details.." I said..

"Of course, that is unacceptable.. Please let me know how we can help, now that you should graduate in only a few weeks.." Mr. Adler said..

"I have thought about it.. Can I maybe take my written finals without having to be in the same room as my other seniors.. I'm afraid that it would be distracting for me and the others, because I might have everyone's eyes on me, and they would be distracted from doing their tests.." I shared my thoughts I had been thinking about in the last day or two..

"I can understand your concern and I would agree.. And you should be comfortable to take your finals.. How about I talk with the teachers that are in charge of your finals and see if we can get you in earlier or move the test times for the others to a later time..?" Mr. Adler, speculated outloud..

"That would be nice, if they agreed.." I said with an appreciative smile, because of my headmaster being so helpfull..

"I'll call for a meeting for the next break coming up and I will let you know.. Where can I find you on campus today..?" he asked..

"Between now and lunch, we'll be in the library.." I said and Mille nodded in agreement..

"Good, I'll find you there when I have talked with them.. So go prep or what you now do to get ready." Mr. Adler said with a chuckle and followed us out of his office..

"Thank you Mr. Adler.." Mille and I said, waving back at him as we headed towards the libuary..

In the library there were only a handful of people, who were busy studying for their finals or just looking for topics for an assinment..

Nobody there wasn't interested about me because they were all noses deep in all the books.. We found a couch at the end of the library, so we were further from the door, so if anyone that came by, in or out, hopefully wouldn't notice us, and for an hour or two we had peace and quiet as we read up on our topics for our exsams..

But suddenly I felt someone stare down at me and after a little bit her annoying voice was coming from right beside me..

"OMG Layla, you ARE back.. I couldnt believe it when some juniors were gossiping about you.." Anastasia said with a snicker..

I tried to just ignore her, because I knew all she wanted was a reaction from me and that was the last thing I was going to give her..

"You like all the attention, don't you Layla?" she said mockingly, and her minions snickered, standing behind her..

"f**k off Anastasia.. We are studying, maybe you should too.." Mille snapped at her..

"Mille, Mille, Mille.. I guess you enjoy the spotlight too.." Anastasia now laughed, and then leaned down so she spoke right into my ear..

"I guess you like it nice and rough, don't you?.. It couldnt have been that bad, seeing you doing quiet fine, and being back on campus already.." she said loud enough for Mille and her minions to hear and I saw her smirk as she got back up..

I had it and couldn't let her go around saying that with a clean conscience, so I slowly stood up and saw the headmaster walk up behind her, and gave him an apologetic look for what I was about to say and do..

"See guys.. She is just an attentions seaking slut..!" Anastasia stated for the rest of the library to hear..

Just as she called me a slut, I slipped out of the long sleeved maxi dress I was wearing so it would cover most of my body, but as it fell to the floor it uncovered everything, my cuts and bruises that were still very deep in color..

"You think this is fun.. Alex did this to me, because the first time he assaulted me wasn't enough..! He tied my hands behind my back and stuffed my mouth, then groped me all over, forcefully held me down as he tried to undo his pants so he could molest me further, but before he could the FBI stormed in and ripped him off me..." I fell onto my knees sobbing and that exposed the bruises on my back to Anastasia too..

The library was deadly quiet besides my soft sobs.. Anastasia let out a nervous huff and tried to think of a come back to not lose face.. But she couldn't, so she turned to her minions.

"I don't buy it, I'm sure she still just likes it rough.. Orh such a slut.." Anastasia snickered, but her smirk quickly grew into horror as she bumped into the Headmaster on the way out..

"You 3 wait right here..!" Mr. Adler stated to Anastasia and her minions, then got down on his knees next to me as Mille took the blanket from the couch to cover me up..

"The look on your face makes sense now.. Are you okay Layla.?" Mr. Adler asked, his voice full of concern..

"I'm so sorry, Mr Adler.. I just couldn't take it if she went around telling people that I liked it.." I cried..

"You don't need to apologize, Layla.. I heard enough to expel her, plus her previous strikes on the record.." Mr. Adler started but then Anastasia cut in..

"Mr. Adler, nudity isn't allowed on campus.. You should expel Layla.!" Anastasia whinned..

"Anastasia enough..! I'll call your dad and have a talk with him to let him know why YOU are getting expelled and that you can't attend this campus anymore..!" Mr. Adler roared, from being fed up with Anastasia's bullshit, then turned his attention back to me..

"Your teachers and I have made a plan for your exams, so your first exam is tomorrow morning.. Mille, the same goes for you, since you have all the same classes, so you guys can go to and from campus together.." Mr. Adler said with a smile..

"Wow thank you.." Mille said, suddenly speechless..

"Go home for today.. I think you have been through enough with what I have just witnessed.." he said, and looked back at a terrified Anastasia and her minions..

I gave him a nod in understanding and fumbled with the fabric of my dress as I picked it up from the floor and put it on as Mille covered me with the blanket..

Mr. Adler took Anastasia to his office along with the minions, and Mille packed up our stuff and then we walked out to the car..

"I texted Jackie, just so she knows we are not on campus anymore.. Are you feeling better.?" Mille said and had to make sure before we drove off..

"I think it will be better once I'm home.." I said and just wanted to go away from all the people around campus..

"Okay, let's go then." Mille said and started the car and drove us to my house where I first got a nap.. The time on campus had been so draining that I fell asleep on the couch during our conversation, so Mille just let me sleep it off, and we ended up agreeing on me just sleeping over, since we now still could take our exams together..
