*****************
Was he here to apologize again, or did he consider me a friend now because of what happened yesterday, I mean it makes a lot of sense since he went all the way to the library to apologize to me. So maybe...
"Move." The deep and husky voice said with so much authority.
"Huh?" I asked, he looked behind me and I followed his gaze, that was when I realized I was standing in front of the male's restroom. My eyes widened in shock and I jumped out of the way, like someone who had been electrocuted.
"Ah, I'm sorry," I said, fiddling with my fingers again, I face-palmed myself and hoped he didn't think I was spying or a pervert. I looked back up and I thought I saw him smile before he walked into the restroom, I was still battling with my mind if I saw him smile or not when Alex winked at me before entering the restroom too.
Omg, learning to accept my flaws is helping me out in some way, Did a guy just wink at her, and it was Alex? He also sat beside and talked to me yesterday.
I walked past the guys' restroom and into the girls' restroom, I walked further in and the devils I was trying so hard to hide away from were standing right in front of me.
"Hey bitch, did you have fun yesterday?" Cassie said with a smirk and hauled me by my hair, dragging me to Charlotte.
"Let go of me!" I said and successfully freed myself from her grip.
"I tried to ignore you, what more do you want from me?" I asked and with a scoff I found my way out of the bathroom and just as I stepped out a bucket of water was poured on me from behind, drenching me from head to toe. I bit my lower lip and forced myself not to cry.
I looked to the right and saw Angelz looking back and forth at me and Charlotte. The students began to gather around again to witness what was happening.
"Don't you f*cking walk out on me," Charlotte said and I turned to her, She walked to me and threw her crop top which I stained yesterday by accidentally bumping into her, to me.
"You are gonna wash this," Charlotte said with arms folded. I sighed and angrily used her crop top which she threw on me to clean the water of my skin and then I threw it back to her.
She looked at me with shock plastered across her face.
"You can wash it yourself, I already apologized for bumping into you, there's no need to embarrass me for that," I said angrily, I was fed up, fed up with Charlotte's bullying.
The crowd broke out in an ooh and ahh competition, After my words to Charlotte, the crowd broke out in an ohh, and I heard that Charlotte angrily threw her crop top on the ground.
"You have no right to talk to me that way you pig!" Charlotte said, She raised her hand to hit me but I caught her arm in mid-air, She struggled out of my grip but I was holding her firmly.
"Ohhh!" Gasps echoed in the hall.
Charlotte was fuming with anger, she freed herself and stepped back. Electricity circulated her body and I knew she was going to unleash all that on me. I began to panic as I saw the volts of electricity gathering at her palm. I knew if I got hit, I was surely going to fry.
"Argh!!!" Charlotte yelled as she released those volts, I shut my eyes and turned away using my hands to block my face as if it would save me from Charlotte's discharge of electricity.
I opened my eyes when the shock I expected to befall me didn't come, I looked in front of me and I saw a tall guy standing in front of me, covered in dark smoke. It was Liam, he had shielded Charlotte's powers from harming me with his Shadow manipulation that had formed a dark wall, he was able to solidify his shadow powers for offense or defense, And right now he saved me.
"Liam!" Charlotte yelled as the shadow wall he formed dissipated like smoke after shielding her discharge of electricity. He walked to her and hugged her immediately he caught up with her, trying to calm her down. She shrugged him off with a grunt, and she had an ugly look on her face.
"I only did it to save you, You would be in trouble if you hurt her with your powers," Liam said, cupping her face with his palm and then holding her hand, taking her to God knows where.
"Are you okay?" Alex asked, he was concerned about me. I nodded and he sighed, a sigh of relief.
"Ranella!" Bea called as she ran towards me, coming from the entrance.
"Are you okay, Are you hurt?" She asked, taking a look. I shook my head.
"I'm fine," I said with a smile, It was all thanks to Liam, although he saved me because he didn't want Charlotte to get into trouble, I still felt like I owed him one for saving me.
"She's fine, Liam saved her just in time," Alex said, reassuring Bea.
"That's a relief, come on, let's get you dried off," Bea said as she dragged me back into the restroom.
"Ahh, I'm sorry I didn't get here sooner. This is getting out of hand." Beatrice said as she helped me squeeze my sweater.
"It's fine, I wasn't hurt," I assured her.
She looked over at me," I heard you stood up to Charlotte." she said and I nodded.
"That's a bold move, You don't have powers for protection," Bea said with concern.
"Should I accept being bullied because I have no powers?" I asked.
"No, but..."
"...just forget it." She said.
When we were done, we walked out of the restroom, everyone had gone to class. We hurriedly went to class and thankfully, the teacher wasn't there yet.
I sat at my usual spot and Bea was about to sit with me when Alex came in and hurriedly sat there.
"Can I sit here?" He asked and when no response came from Bea.
"I like the view here, and the fresh air." He said and flashed a smile. Bea hiccuped and I knew she wouldn't be able to resist that smile. She nodded and sat on the next roll of lined-up desks.
"What are you doing here, I might get you wet," I said, worrying that I might sprinkle some droplets of water on him unknowingly since I wasn't entirely dry yet.
"It's fine, I don't mind getting wet at all." He said and laid back in the chair, closing his eyes and folding his arms.
