*Buzzer*

I sighed loudly and mumbled under my breath, “Done for the day,”

Judy, that clingy girl was with me till our last class, guess my bad luck was teasing me today, I kept thinking it all-day

“Are you free today?” she asked me with her big doe eyes hiding behind glasses, 

“Umm, no idea right now but I think I’ll be staying in for some Netflix and chill,” I indirectly rejected her for whatever she was planning with me. I don’t like clingy people much, 

My phone buzzed and I fetched it out of my pocket, “I see you’re over with your school. Come out, I’m waiting,” Nathan texted me, successfully made my beating heart in a racing competition.

I texted him back, “Coming,”  with a million-dollar smile. “Yeah, buddy, gotta go,” I excused Judy where we bid goodbyes and separated our ways, “See you tomorrow,” I heard saying to me in last and I huffed after turning my face around and walking another way

I dropped the book in my locker and strode out of my school’s building. Searching for Nathan’s car and right when I caught it, Ariana’s voice trapped me out from behind, “Hey, tiny cat,” I attempted to ignore her and kept walking straight, “Ignoring me, dwarf?” she threw her hands on my shoulders and I rolled my eyes in irritation before turning around with a wryly smirk, “Hi. Ariana,” I gave her a slightly tight tone, 

Well, she is a bitch herself, a 5’7 blonde, fair complexion, rich background and all boys under her foot. For many reasons, I don’t like her, first, she thinks she’s the prettiest in our batch whereas, in reality, she’s just a spoiled brat who loves to show off her money, second her face full of filter and bo- “Come with us tonight, Remember David announced a heavy party, bang it with us it’s gonna be fun! I wanna see you lushed up and enjoying your boring life, tiny ca-,” she kept running her mouth but I trailed her of

“Now, don’t you call me with that name again plus I’m not that type, so not interested,” I snapped at her calmly and started walking again to Nath. Her calling me names like ‘tiny cat’ ‘my babyboo’  reminds me of that rapist and I don’t want to give that thought a spare second.

“Or what, boo? Will you call daddy?” her cakey face completely turned into a fake puppy, “Better watch your long tongue because I won’t mind smashing it with my heel,” I turned around to see her where her hands grabbed my collar while I gave her my messed-up glare look, 

“You know what? Talking to people like you will only test my temper so why not back off,” I said with clenched my jaw and raised a brow, I was trying to be strong because Nathan’s teaching me to fight my fears but seemed like my eyes were filling water,

“Aww, sugar baby will cry anytime now,” she teased. Out of nowhere her nails nibbed in my cheeks, sharply digging them in my skin, “You’re just a cheap slut who is sleeping with our pedophilic daddy director,” all of the school thinks that I’m dating Nathan because he acted like a protective boyfriend on our prom night when my senior purposely spilt her drink on me because of our dating rumours and he expelled her, it was confirmed for them that we were dating even when we were not, 

“Wassup here!? OUH, Ari, we have a sugar doll here,” I felt a hand rubbing on my butt then a voice registered in my mind, I recognised it was Ryan’s, Ariana’s fuckbuddy. 

“Ya, Ray, we were having good buddy-talk,” she said while keeping her eyes on me and I did the same, I tried to get his hand off my butt but he only tightened it, 

“Excuse your hand!” I heard a pressed tone behind me, I immediately turned my face around and found out Nathan standing with red-rimmed eyes, “Oh some hero here to rescue director’s ba..” she lost her voice when she saw Nathan, 

Nathan had many schools under his name and this was also one of his so she lost it when instant karma hit her, “Mr K-nightley,” she stuttered and left my collar along with nails, when her nails left my face I heard him growling inwardly, my face must be bruised, “Is this how you treat your juniors?” he said with a clenched jaw and tight face, 

“S-sir, she started the fight, it was self-defence,” she lied in front of me, I shot my glare at her while her eyes were lower,

“She-” I was trailed off by him, “Like I wasn’t informed of the situation,” he threw her lies on her face, “And you, puppy boy! If I ever see you around bullying anyone, you’ll deal me,” he warned Ryan while his head was lowered, 

Nathan gave me a nod to come to him and I walked towards him, he slipped his hand on my back and pushed me closer to him, we walked to the car, “Were you watching us?” I asked him a stupid question again, of course, he was! 

“I’ve been watching you for six months, little one,” he smirked, striding elegantly while everyone had eyes on us 

“You have your men around me,” I said with an uplift eyebrow, I was a little irritated with this fact that he kept checks on me like I couldn’t protect myself

“Maybe,” he continued smirking and opened the door of the car, he signalled me to hop in, I got in after watching everyone’s reaction and he shut the door after buckling my seat and giving me a peck on my cheek, heightening the scandal, I sighed loud

He pounced in the driving seat and started driving, “Why did you do that?” I said with longing, 

“Because I wanted to,” 

“You’re giving fire to false rumours,” I said and he only tittered

He was driving to home I guess, he had many cars and he had my favourite one -Audi R8, I told him and since then he had been driving this beast and also that I like fast driving so whenever we go together he drives super fast while I always enjoy it with endless chuckles over his perfect reflexes, 

It took us 15 minutes to get to home, Nathan daily picks me up from school in his lunch break and we do lunch together, sometimes at home or mostly in restaurants or drive-thrus, but then I saw the gate of our mansion so I understood we’ll do at home today, he parked his car in the lot and I unbuckled my seatbelt.
