I don't hate Rhys Montecillio. He defended my towards Henry, that's good enough reason for me not to hate the guy. Also, how could he even think that I was uncomfortable among him when I spent the entire day with him. He must've misinterpreted my words and then he walked away. Walked away like freaking idiot he is.

I sighed heavily before taking a sip of my coffee which Harry brewed himself. I have to say, I'm loving the idea of Harry staying with us. Hopefully Henry stays away forever.

As usual, Harry and I drove to school before he walked me to my classroom. When I got inside the room, I frowned when I didn't see Rhys on his spot. He always sat there whenever I got to the room. Is he purposely avoiding me?

I just sighed before taking a seat. I should worry about making up with Montecillio later. I have a chemistry quiz to worry first.

When the bell rang, that's when Rhys entered the room except he didn't sat on his spot. He sat at the other end of the room, far away from me. Seriously, what the hell is his problem?

Maybe he's the one who has a problem towards me? And not vice versa. Do I make him uncomfortable? How could I even make him uncomfortable? I'm the most comfortable human being in this planet.

"Miss Walker." My biology teacher, Ms. Samuel called out, snapping me away from my thoughts. My classmates were looking at me, stifling laugh. When my eyes landed at Rhys, he just gave me an unimpressed look before I look away.

"Yes?" I asked, facing her.

"What is the function of the pituitary gland?" Miss Samuel asked, sternly.

Easy.

"It secretes hormones." I answered, confidently. "Also controlled by the hypothalamus." I added.

She pursed her lips together before nodding and heading back in front. She was satisfied with my answer, I think.

Moreover, as soon as class ended I quickly packed my things before walking over to where Rhys sat.

"Hey, can we tโ€”" I didn't get the chance to finish what I was saying when he just walked passed me. Okay, that was just plain rude. I turned my heels, quickly following him. I grabbed the sleep of his uniform, dragging him into Helping Hands' clubroom. "Montecillio, why are you ignoring me?"

"Shouldn't I stay away from the person who's uncomfortable around me?" Rhys asked, boredly, making me frown.

"Why do you keep on saying that?" I exasperated. "You misinterpreted what I said yesterday. You didn't gave me a chance to explain. You freaking walked away!"

He clenched his jaw, taking a step closer to me. "How could I not walk away?" he asked. "If you were uncomfortable around me, you could've just said so yesterday, I would've left in an instant."

I groaned in frustration. "You don't make me uncomfortable, you stupid ass!" I exclaimed, glaring at his direction. "If you did make me uncomfortable, trust me, I would've avoided you a long time ago. I didn't want you to drive me home because I have my reasons, Montecillio. Reasons you don't need to concern yourself with. That concludes that you don't make me uncomfortable nor do I hate you. I'm sorry if stupidly misinterpreted what I said. Good day." I sneered before walking out of the room.

Rhys Montecillio is rude, immature, and an asshole. God, he made me yell at him. Now, I feel freaking sorry for him. I even called him, stupid! Why do I even feel sorry for him? Was I too harsh to him? Maybe I was.

The day went by in a blur. Harry texted me that he couldn't drive me home because he needed to run an errand. Guess I'll be taking the bus home.

I got a strawberry oreo milkshake from the diner close to the school before I walked my way to the bus station. I don't think it'll be a long walk though. I hope not. I just want to lay on my bed and sleep all night.

In a flash, I was dragged into a alley, making me drop my milkshake on the pavement. When my eyes met his, my breath hiked. He cornered me against the wall, whilst he had a creepy smirk plastered on his face.

"Hello, little Walker." Henry whispered, sending shivers down my spine. "I think you're very unfortunate to be walking alone knowing that I might come after you or Harry or even your friend who threatened me yesterday."

"Screw you, Henry." I hissed. I tried to remove his hand from my wrist but he gripped it even tighter. "Hey, let go of me, you asshole!" I tried to squirm my way out of his grip but he was just too strong

"You know, I always found you pretty, Callie." he whispered into my ear. "Your body was always perfect. The way you swear at me turns me on." he cooed, his free hand brushing at the side of my thighs.

"What are you doing? Let go of me." I panicked, fighting my way out of his grasp. "I swear to God, Henrโ€”" I was cut off by him slapping me across the cheek. I froze when I felt my left cheek burning.

"Shut up." Henry said in an angry tone. Tears began to ran down my face as he groped my chest. "Relax. I'm going to make you feel good."ย ย 

I began to hyperventilate when I heard him unbuckling his belt and zipping down his trousers. I still tried to fight but in the end, he slapped me across the face again, harder than before.

The weight of his body began to fade away, my eyes landed at Rhys, standing on top of Henry as he punched the living hell out of him. A pair of arms started to wrap around me.

"AJ, that's enough!" Robin yelled. "I called the police." that made Rhys snap back into reality.

Rhys got off Henry, shaking the pain that he felt on his fist. "Haven't I made myself clear before?" he asked in a low voice. "I'll make myself more clearer. Touch her again and I swear to you that you won't live to see tomorrow."
