His Broken girl

chapter 15

Jules

I was feeling quite giddy about the roses and chocolates I found in my locker , and then I heard T laugh, I looked aroind the room to see Terry go wide eyed and slapping his hand over his mouth.Oh my Gods, I knew it!

That laugh is unmistakable.That is the laugh of the man that has helped me get through everything these past few weeks, He bought me a house, and my mum, he built me a massive bookshelf. It does explain his sudden change towards me. He used to be my number one bully, pushing me over, calling me nasty names teasing me. He even let his girlfriends spill their milk on me, but never once, did he allow anyone to hit me.

Or, maybe I want Terry to be T and I am thinking irrationally.No its definitely him.

but what would a guy like him, want with a nerd like me? And why keep his identity a secret? Is he ashamed of being seen with me? Am I that disgusting to look at? my smile fades. If he wants to play games, fine. I will play his little game.

Terry clears his throat and the teacher opens up a window to let out the smell. It was a rank one. " Jules, what's with the smirk on your face?" Mikey asks. "Oh I am meeting Ts parents tomorrow, Im just excited" She gives me the 'I don't believe you look' "uh huh. Tell me later?" I nod agreeing, oh I am definitely telling her.

The Lunch bell rings and i hurry out of the class room and get to my locker, sure enough Terry rounds the corner. his locker is in the hallway next to mine but doesn't go towards it, instead, he has decided leaning against the wall opposite my locker was a good idea. After I put my stuff away, and smiled to myself, I closed my locker and walked away towards the canteen,once again Terry follows. close enough to see where i am going but far enough behined that I 'won't notice him'. Mikey had to go home for lunch and get ready for work at the supermarket. so I am on my own today. I rounds the corner and bump straight into my now ex. James. My eyes go wide, my anxiety starts to peek its head.He grabbed me. "Jules! oh uh hey." He seems quite taken aback. our last encounter had been really horrible. I took a few deep breaths." sorry,just getting some lunch, do you mind moving please?" I ask. " His expression changed from suprise to amused. he stood there and crossed his arms in front of me. " I will let you go, if you give me a kiss, right here." he says tapping his mouth. I see Terry tense up he takes a step forward, but he doesn't get far. " ok baby lean down for me?" i ask, i plaster an innocent smile on my face. He leans down and I punch him as hard as I can in the nose, blood sprays everywhere, I then kick him as hard as I can in the nuts. lots OOHS were heard around me. I got to the line of the canteen and placed my order for some chips and gravy with a decent amount of chicken salt. My hand throbbing, I wanted to hold it so badly and cry, it was throbbing with pain, but I refused to give him any sort of power over me ever again. so I took a deep breath and steadied myself. Just as I went to pay for my lunch, someone else tapped their card. I looked over my shoulder to see Terry. " You didn't have to pay for it, I can do that myself you know." I say. He shrugged "I know, but that was impressive just don't get used to it though Nerd, I won't be doing that again!" He says snarkily. I touch his cheek and he stills. " why thankyou, and I won't trust me. you would probably poison my food the first chance you got." his breath hitched. I pulled my hand back and his breathing went back to normal...somewhat. " don't touch me nerd! and yeah I probably would. ew!" I pretended to be hurt by his words. the thing is, he didn't sound convincing at all. " Im sorry" i say under my breath. " thankyou." I allow a tear to fall free, and he wiped it away without realising it. he quickly pulled his hand away from me took a deep breath rolled his eyes and walked away from me. the moment his back was turned i collected my order with a smile, and sat in my usual spot. next to the rose bushes.

I'm about to eat my last chip, when an ice pack is dropped onto the table. " for your hand" Says a low pained voice. I look up. Terry is standing there. " can I help you? " I ask, feigning annoyance. " maybe, I don't know yet." He replied. "you've lost me. look I have had a rough year, ok, I just want to be left alone, so unless you want something please just leave me in peace." He smiled and sat himself down at my table. I roll my eyes, and finished up my lunch. We said nothing for a while, so I decided to rub my leg up against his. He stiffened. "you good?" I ask. " yup, but please stop rubbing my leg with yours."I stopped and looked away. " oh sorry, I didn't realise. "can you go away now?" I ask. "nope, I need to make sure you are ok after that incident, I spoke to the principal about it and made sure you are not getting into any trouble for it.your welcome by the way,and pick your jaw up off the damn floor would you, you look like an i***t! " I closed my Jaw. what. the. f**k. if he is trying to keep himself a secret still, he is NOT doing a good job of it. " ok ahh thankyou I guess. what do you want in return?" I ask. "There has to be some ulterior motive". I say, " I want you...you know what, don't worry about it " he says. "I know Im an absolute asshole to you, but what James did was absolutely disgusting, and I thought I told him to." he paused "Again nevermind. I will see you later Love." Terry got up and walked away. I knew what he was doing and he just proved to me 100% who he is. dinner tomorrow night is going to be fun.
