Chapter 12 - I Do

Ivan Knight

"Did she like the flower?" Roger asks me once I come back from the little...discussion I was having with Valeria.

"I think so. I mean, that's what she said." I answer him my heart still racing because I was extremely stressed to talk to her.

I might have sounded confident but I felt like I was going to shit myself.

"Well, that's a good thing. My brother has a wife, I'm getting emotional." He says with sarcasm pretending to wipe his tears.

"Fuck off Roger."

"Ahhhh he's blushing." He continues with a devious smirk on his face.

Am I blushing?

Suddenly, the bell rang, so we had to go to class.

"Stop being a dick and go to class," I tell Roger who was still smirking.

"Sure, whatever. Let's go."

As we were walking to the classroom, I saw Valeria standing next to us.

She's so beautiful.

She smiles at me and continues to walk forward.

"Toughen up man. You're whipped." Roger whispers to my ear as he noticed I was still staring at her.

I was true.

"Shut up." I pretend to be annoyed but knowing he was right.

"Just saying."

We head to our desk and get seated.

The session was boring.

To be honest I didn't pay much attention because I kept glancing at Val.

This girl has got me under her spell.

At some point, I noticed her looking back at me, blushing once our eyes met.

Valeria Campbell

It was lunch break, so it was time to go to the cafeteria.

Lucy and I walk together hearing the different chatter around us from various friend groups.

All of a sudden I felt....a slap on my ass.

"What the fuck." I turn around and see it was Tanner.

He has been trying to talk to me for weeks but I kept ignoring him.

"Don't act as you hated it. You've been playing hard to get for weeks." He says coming closer and grabbing my lower back, pulling me towards him.

"Get away from me." I push him away. "And if you ever touch me, I'll cut your dick off and shrug it down your throat." I continue with anger on my face.

Lucy and I walk away, and I felt his hand grab my ass again.

"Are you fucking deaf?" I turn around again and see Ivan standing next to Tanner who was now on the ground.

"Do you think it's cool to grab girls' asses you fucking moron?" Ivan says with rage in his voice.

He then goes down to his level and punches him again "The poor virgin assaulting someone because no one gives him a chance. How tragic." He purses his lips.

Tanner gets up and slaps Ivan across the face. Right as he did that, Roger came forward and punched him again.

Tanner tried to fight back but he was now against two of the most athletic boys at school. He was laying helpless on the floor with blood on his face.

"Come on Val, let's go." Ivan gives me his hand to hold and we all walk away.

Everyone was staring at us looking down at a bloody helpless Tanner on the floor.

After a few seconds, I saw Ivan being kicked to the floor. Tanner was hitting him again.

I needed to act up, so I walked over to him and kicked him in the balls, seeing him instantly crouch down yawning in pain.

Well, fucking deserved.

"Are you okay Ivan?" He was now standing on his feet, but surprisingly smiling.

"I'm so proud of you. You were such a badass." He held up his hand to give me a high five.

"That's my girlfriend." He continues as I raise my hand meeting his when a realization suddenly hits him.

He called me his girlfriend. I repeat, he called me his GIRLFRIEND.

The smile on my face was huge. And I felt my stomach twisting.

Butterflies.

"I'm sorry, I don't know why I said that." He apologizes looking kind of nervous.

"Don't say sorry, I liked it." I was feeling ballsy today, sue me.

"Wait really?" He smiles almost shocked at my response.

"Yes," I answer shortly smirking and biting my lower lip.

"Do you want to be my girlfriend?" He raises his eyebrow with a grin on his face.

"Of course I do."

Not like I've been manifesting this.....He doesn't need to know that.

But FINALLY.

"WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING HERE?" We heard the loud voice of Principal Johnson walking quickly towards us.

We're fucked...
