The Billionaire ceo's second chance

ELENA POV Students surrounded us in the grand hall, as they bared witness to my humiliation. Balls of sweat rolled down my face as my heart thudded against my chest. My jaw dropped. Tears stung my eyes, threatening to spill. I swallowed the huge lump in my throat. "Wh.. why can't you be my boyfriend?" I stuttered in a low voice. Bri's malicious laughter filled the hall. "Are you just stupid, greedy or both?" She scoffed. But my gaze focused on Andrian. His words are the only thing that counts right now. "Answer me, Andrian," I urged. My legs at the verge of giving out. He rolled his eyes and took few steps toward me but kept a good distance like I was a plague. Andrian took long drag of his fat blunt and puffed the smoke in my face. "What do you think, El," he smirked I wanted to force the words out of his mouth but unfortunately, I'm too timid. With my legs rooted, my lips clamped, I remained like a statue. "Take a look at you El," he said and began to walk round me. His fingers grazing my hair. I gasped, as shivers shot down my spine. Damn my stupid hormones and body for reacting to his touch. "We are not compatible and will never be. Your family barely struggle to make ends meet. If not for my family that sponsor your education, you would probably be married to an oldie" he laughed. His words cutting deeper than any sword could ever. I watched as the words rolled off his tongue. His voice laced with irritation, disgust and anger. My hands itched to slap him but I couldn't. "You're my servant, Elena" he shouted. Throwing his arm and everyone erupted in laughter. I staggered back. The tears finally rolling off. No.. no. Andrian didn't just do that. "Don't tell me you mistook my pity for affection?" He asked with an amused face. His eyebrow raised. The already broken shards of my heart, broke the more. Pity? Not even kindness? Have I been the delusional one all this time? Andrian face became cold stone. His jaws clenched, his eyes dark and void of emotions. I held his gaze hoping I could catch a glimpse of something. Guilt? Pain? Regret? But there was nothing. This look isn't like anything I've ever seen before. "Know your place and don't cross the line," he threatened. "If you keep misbehaving, I might actually get Killian to teach you how to behave," My eyes widened at the audacity. Before I could stop myself, I landed a resounding slap on his cheek. Killian of all people? That r****t? Does Andrian hate me this much? Loud gasps and murmurs filled the air. Everyone was probably dissatisfied that I slapped the school's sweetheart and heir. Bri rushed towards me to hit me, when Andrian pulled her back by the waist. "Calm down babe," he kissed her, while she stomped her foot like a two year old, folding her arms. Then he turned to me. If eyes could kill, I'd be six feet under. He massaged his cheek and finally stood close to me that we were only an inch away from each other. "Look at you El, you're not my type." He said in a low voice. ".. but I love you Andrian," I confessed again with a cracked voice. The tears continued to flow unrestrained. He leaned closer, that his hot breath fanned my neck. "But I don't love you Elena and never will. I only pitied you because you're miserable". He announced. Moved back and walked away. "I'll make sure you're kicked out of this school. Kiss your scholarship, goodbye" I felt the air in my lungs dry up. So this was all that was to it. He never loved me. So Andrian pitied me for ten freaking years? For years I thought Andrian genuinely loved me. Was it just all in my head? But he actually cared. He cared so much that it didn't feel ordinary anymore. Or did I lack love so much to assume it was love? Something hit my head, jolting me out of my thought. More stuffs were thrown at me. Soups, raw eggs, drinks, stinky water from the sewage. I tried covering my face but it was useless. I slipped on the slime covered floor and landed on my butt. A loud wince erupted from my throat. My stomach churned. I scrunched my nose to reduce the amount of stench air, I was inhaling. "Stupid b***h!" "Get out of our school, pauper!" "Who are you to compete with queen Bri?" "A loser, always a loser!" Countless voices echoed, cursing at me. I covered my ears, hoping it would hurt less. Stupid me. My heart was actually crushed. This scar... Will it ever go away? All I did was confess my feelings. I didn't kill anyone. I felt that Andrian was reluctant to make things official because he wasn't sure how he felt. Well, now I know. "That's enough. Everyone back to your classroom, right now!" The vice principal, Mrs. Cohen barked. Soon the hall became drop dead silent. With my smelly hands I wiped my tears and snort. "So disgusting," Mrs Cohen hissed. "Make sure you clean this mess before going home," she ordered and left. I chuckled bitterly. Even though they did this, I still have to take care of the mess they did. "Is this fair?" I mumbled with trembling lips, my head hung low. I sighed and finally stood up after countless tries, then our eyes met. Bella, my bestfriend. There she stood behind the pillar, while looking around as if making sure no one saw us together. "Bella," I called out and before I could finish my statement, she sprinted upstairs. I clenched my fists and headed to the store room to collect janitorial supplies. Should I be angry at Bella? Would she say, she didn't know when I was being bullied? Why didn't help me when she saw how alone I was? Maybe.. maybe she was scared too. I defended her in my head. An hour later, I was done cleaning the entire hall. My waist ached. Not bothering about my backpack, I decided to go home. As soon I stepped outside the building, laughter and whistlings erupted again. Students lingered on the windows, leaving painful comments. Without warning, rain bursted out. The sky reassuring me, that it sees me. The rain washing away my humiliation. This is not the end Andrian Harrison.
