"Raelynn Lyla..." Spoke a young boy bathed with sweat. He took a deep breath, looking coldly at her, "Are you leaving?" He added. Making her frightened and panicked.
"Congratulations, team Derek Academy!" A loud voice sounded making Raelynn Lyla surprised and startled.
"Y... you... I can't believe it Kareem."
Kiran Kareem nodded his head, trying to control himself from smiling. "Answer my question. Are you leaving?"
He repeated that question while looking unwaveringly deep into her amethyst eyes.
"I have classes. And I... don't need to tell anyone about it ... including you." Raelynn Lyla forced herself to reply.
The crowd widened their eyes in surprise as they could not believe that they had heard it from a poor, bullied young girl.
Tears started springing into her eyes as she saw Kiran Kareem started gritting his teeth and looked angrily at her eyes.
Despite the gossips, Kiran Kareem grabbed Raelynn Lyla's hand and walked towards the bench to get his backpack.
"What is happening?"
"Why would Kiran Kareem grab that ugly, freak girl?"
Whispers started arising amongst the congregation.
Every girl in Derek Academy dreamed to be the girlfriend of the school's handsome, head boy.
"Let my hand go!" Screamed Raelynn Lyla and stopped in the middle of the court. She had tried resisting all the way through but she was just not too string.
Gossips became louder and spread through the whole school.
"Come with me! Haters can't hurt you now!" Kiran Kareem said to Raelynn Lyla.
Raelynn Lyla gulped and looked around the congregation. She immediately noted that everyone in the ground was looking at her with jealous eyes, including Eleanor Freya. She decided to take advantage of the situation.
"Let's go!" He ordered Raelynn Lyla and pulled her to her classroom. It was empty since all the students were outside. Raelynn Lyla stopped for the moment and played with her hands to ask him question.
"How did you know, this is my classroom? You must be getting ready to go home too." Raelynn Lyla said and looked at her sneakers as she was afraid to look at his deep, blue eyes that looked like the big,blue sea. It was wide and beautiful.
She was afraid that her face did not actually show the worry and that she would have been hypnotized again like she had been in the school's ground. But, Kiran Kareem remained silent as he pulled her closer.
"Do not cry!" He commanded her. He was from a very, rich and prosperous family that he was used to ordering everyone around.
The both of them entered the classroom and Kiran Kareem ordered her to sit down as he pointed at the third seat on the first row. "From now on you will seat next to me. Do you understand?"
He asked her with authority and did not even smile. He was not a typical boy.He was from a very, rich and prosperous family of successful businessmen. He even owned a company of his own.
But instead of following his orders, Raelynn Lyla shook her head in negation. She took a step backward and replied, "Who are you? Why did you help save me from Eleanor Freya?!"
Her voice rang all around the empty classroom. They were all alone, they were waiting for the class teacher to come and give them the orders to go home after giving them the homework.
Angrily, Kiran Kareem slammed the door and lifted her chin. Without her approval, he put his hands on the wall on both sides and tried to meet her gaze.
"Look at me." He told her shortly.
"I must find the answer why you think that I am one of those bullied who only want to hurt you?"
Kiran Kareem tucked away some of her loose hair strands to the back of her right ear. He breathed heavily while sweating profusely, "Your hair..." He paused.
