Chapter 118: Chapter 118 Fucking Enough! Before I could ask what the side effects are, she begins to explain. "You might experience a change in your menstrual cycle. It tends to alter it. But it does not make it completely disappear. It is not supposed to do that. Come see us if it does. You might also have nausea, and dizziness. But it shouldn’t be too much." I was leaving when she calls me back. "One more thing. Do not let your friends and anyone outside your family know that you have this okay?
It should be a secret."
I slightly nod, "Okay."
My phone rings as I come outside. Mom is calling. "Have you got the injection?"
"Yes. I’m heading off to school now." I drone out, rubbing the site where I had gotten the injection. "Gwen, mind you that this is not a license for you to fool around with that guy or anyone else.
It is just a precaution. Nothing more. See you at home!" She hangs up. "Of course I know that." I mutter to myself. Pulling up the hood of my hoodie shirt over my head as I walked the rest of the road down to school.
My eyes automatically scan the entire school premise like they do every morning, searching for a certain guy with green eyes.
So that I can see him first and know how to move and avoid him so he would not see me. The muscles in my stomach tightens when I finally spot him leaving his car and heading towards the main entrance building. I am really into avoiding him and hoping that he does not seek me out or magically appear in one of my classes. I have already planned out how I am going to handle the math assignment dilemma. It is already handled. All except the most dangerous and important aspect which is Calix.
I had informed Rex about it last night when he texted. He then told me to send him photos of the assignment questions and I did. He sent me another photos containing the answers about an hour later. He had solved all of them.
I was over the moon when I saw it. I still am. On a normal note, that would count to me as cheating and I would probably feel guilty. But now it is a way for me to survive. Rex has become more than my protective knight at this point. He is also a fairy godmother. How can someone be so nice, gentle, calm and helpful? It put me in a short moment of thinking about how he and that asshole managed to be friends.
The assignment is done but I am still not free from the guillotine yet. It can all go to ruin because he would most likely stick to his word of ensuring that I fail the assignment.
I am trying to hope positively on Rex talking to him not to destroy it by telling Mr Kowalski that I had done it without his help like he would have helped me. When is his graduation going to come? I am probably looking forward to it more than him.
I look around the hallways for my friends. I then remember that Maverick will not be in school today. He had said something about cleaning out his Dad’s fishpond yesterday. I won’t see Curry now unless we have classes together as it is a tradition for her to spend most of the morning hours besides Courtney.
I had opened my locker to get my AP history text. But the sight the sight of what I am seeing instead has sent my brain into shutdown and then overdrive. My locker space is empty.
Completely empty!
None of my textbooks and arithmetic stuff and others are in here right now. Even the motivational color coded notes that I had stuck to the door to design it.
The realization set in fully, and I lost it. I look behind me, yelling and asking for who had done it. Some were startled by my shout and giving me a crazy look before walking off. Some are laughing. There is no need to wonder where and from who this is coming from. But he could not have done it himself.
"Hey yo!" I look at the boy whistling. Seems like I am the one he is referring to. "Looking for this, huh?" He brings one of my textbooks from behind him, and waves it tauntingly at me. My eyes widens, he holds it up as I attempt to take it from him. "Give it back!" I seethed. Another boy is holding my swimwear and rolling it like a fan over his head. Wait, did they also . .?
My heartbeat is galloping. Sucking a series of ragged breathing into my lungs that have suddenly gone hard and tight, making it somewhat difficult for me to breathe. My blood starts to warm with shame and indignation.
Everyone around us is watching and laughing. Not a tiny giggle or an inconspicuous snicker, but a loud roaring laughter of mockery. Tears are stinging my eyes. Humiliation pricking me like a thorn into my soul. I am being harassed and humiliated.
But to them it is just another hilarious show to watch. "Give it back!" I say, my voice sounding rough. But they are moving about, clearly with no intention of returning it. Getting more amusement out of my humiliation.
"I said give it back!" I shout, "Or what? What are you going to do bitch?" Says the one with my book, coming close. He jabs at my forehead with his finger.
"Calm down Hollis, we can give her a way out." The other adds, also coming to me with a leering look. "You want this?
Then how about you give me a lap dance in exchange?"
I stare hard into his ugly eyes, and decided that it was too much. Every breath that I am taking feels like shards of broken glass.
I clench my jaw. I don’t care if what I am about to do would result badly and get me in trouble. This is all too much. This is fucking enough!
