A few days had passed, and all students finally got the okay to go back to school. The boys were still at Holly's at this point, so the three of them decided to get ready and go to school together.

When they got to school, Henry and Toby offered to walk Holly to class. Holly jumped at the chance. The three of them walked through the school, greeting their friends in passing. Not even 5 minutes later, they had arrived at Holly's class. Henry opened the door, interrupting the lesson inside, causing everyone to look at them. Toby and Henry were in the doorway, and continued to stand there as they watched Holly walk into class, and took her usual seat next to Taylor. After seeing she was settled in, they waved goodbye and navigated themselves to their respective classrooms.

As Holly grabbed her things from her bag, Taylor eyed her suspiciously before making a sly remark. "You're seriously still hanging out with those stupid fucking cum guzzlers?! I thought after the other week you would've learned your damn lesson." She mumbled low enough so that  Holly could hear her, but nobody else could. Holly chose to ignore Taylor. She just wasn't worth the energy. Holly continued on with her work as Taylor kept trying to piss her off. Holly was easily able to ignore her, as Taylor's voice sounded kind of like a white noise machine. however, her carefree charade didn't last long. 

As a final attempt to annoy her, Taylor crossed a line. "I bet the reason you were late was because you were having some fucking disgusting little orgy weren't you? I mean I knew you were a skanky little whore, but 2 guys at the same time? Wow, that's low.. even for you." In this moment, after that comment, Holly snapped. She stood up, slamming her book shut. This caught everyone's attention. Even the teacher decided to see where it went. Holly turned to Taylor, absolutely livid. "You know Taylor, I think it's kinda funny how you sit up there on your fucking high horse with your 'holier than thou' attitude." Taylor looked at her, confused. "No, I'm being serious. You do nothing but judge me because I hang out with those boys, and you always insinuate that I'm overly intimate with them. Seems pretty rich to me." The class started throwing around 'oohs' and 'ahhs'. "You know nothing of my relationship with those boys, and the fact that you like to make people think you do is just hilarious. You're always saying I'm a whore, and I do nothing but fuck them, which I'm not, but even if I was, at least I'd be getting more dick in a week than you have your entire fucking life you nasty, conniving little forever virgin." Taylor tried to defend herself, but was quickly interrupted before she could even get a word out. "Next time you wanna go spreading rumours and publicising your hatred for me and the boys, just remember all of the shit I have on you."

Taylor refused to say another word, as she knew exactly what she was talking about. Holly didn't waste another second, and she quickly tidied up her things and walked out of the class, obviously pissed off. She was on her way to the bathrooms -the place she usually went when she was upset- when she ran into Henry. At this point in time, Holly had tears forming in her eyes, and even though she tried her best to conceal them, they were still visible. The tall, blonde haired boy looked down at Holly, worry evident on his face. "I'm fine!" She insisted, attempting to walk away. Before she could, Henry grabbed her wrist, turning her attention back to him. "You clearly are not okay. You think I can't see the tears in your eyes? You think I can't see the redness in your face? Well, I do." At this point, Holly didn't really see the point in lying to him anymore. Holly took one more look into his icy blue eyes, and collapsed to the floor crying. He collapsed alongside her, holding her close to him. "I just don't know what I did to make her hate me so much!" She sobbed into his chest. "Who? Who hates you?" Holly pulled her head away from his chest for a second, sniffling a little. "Taylor." Henry hid it well, but a large wave of anger surged through his body. Henry grabbed her face with both hands, tilting it up to look at him. He stared into her eyes as he used his thumbs to wipe away her tears. "I promise you, Holly. Everything will be okay." Holly sniffled again before answering. "How do you know that?" Henry took a deep breath in. "Because I've got you. As long as I'm here, nobody will hurt you. That's a promise."
