When you left [COMPLETED]

~18~

Mila's P.O.V

"Have you done what I asked you to ?" I ask the girl in front of my eyes .

She nods . The boy beside him smirks and high-fives her .

"You really did a great job . I can't believe that you can act so well ," he says .

"Of course ! But I was really fangirling , you know . I just imagined that its the true reality , whereby Michael is my boyfriend . Ahh , life will be such a dream that everyone wished will happen to them ," she replies , her hands join together at one of her cheeks while grinning widely at the thought .

By that response , you can already know who are these little kids I recruit , won't you ? These people have the same aim as me - to get rid of Michael Bradley out of Stephanie Cooper's life . Why , you may think . The ultimate reason is that , we want the old Stephanie Cooper back . The cheerful and outgoing girl who used to embrace me every single day , either because she was down or happy . The one who always make us , as in Clarice , Jake and I , smile , is now ignoring us and going off with that guy . Also , as for Clarice , she has an extreme affection of Michael , so jealousy is added to her aim . Well ,actually , I can just accept Michael while enjoying my life with Stephanie . However , something that he did persuades me to take action . Something that she detests the most in her life . However , not even a soul other than me know about what he did .

FLASHBACK

I checked my watch . Its currently 5 pm in the evening . Mrs Cooper asked me to fetch Stephanie and Tiffany at their new school . I studied the map carefully but did not understand it .

I started to guess my way there . I turn left , right and left again . I arrived to a deserted alley . I was utterly confused and lost . Then , I saw two boys , one was tall and brawny whereas the other was short and skinny . Suddenly , the tall one began to beat the small kid , not realising that I was watching him .

"Please don't hit me ! Please !" pleaded the poor child .

"Give me your money first !" bellowed the bully .

"But its for me to buy a textbook tomorrow !"

"I don't give a damn !" He snatched the boy's wallet . The kid cried and wailed .

"Tell your mommy if you dare ! You know what will happen if you tell ? I'll beat you until your death !" he snickered , laughed an evil laugh and left the scene .

I ran towards the boy and hugged him . I examined his fragile body to see swollen bruises around his arms and legs . He cries even louder when I accidentally touched it .

"Shhh , its okay . I'll tell your teacher ." I said .

"Don't ! He'll beat me to death !" he shook his head vigorously , showing that he was scared of him .

"He won't , because he can't do anything if we report this to your teacher right ?" I consoled him . He paused for a moment , then nods while giving a smile . I carried him and set to go to his school , which I was told that it was the same school as Stephanie and Tiffany . Just then , I saw something lying on the floor . That must be the bully's belonging as I did not see it before he left .

A fourth-grade book . I took the book and opened the front page . A name popped out .

Michael Bradley .

"Lets go . I'll never forget this bully's name and what he did to you , little boy ."

FLASHBACK END

And that is why until now , I just want to get him out of her life , rather than just telling her . She'll be more hurt than ever . Stephanie hated bullies because she herself became a victim of bullying before . Why can't I just keep quiet ? Because he's a bad person . I can sense it .

Michael's P.O.V

"Ring !" the school bell rings , signalling that its now time to go home . Everyone rush out of the classroom after a long and boring lesson of mathematics . I walk towards the hallway to put back my books into my locker . Just when I open my locker , someone gives me a back hug .

"Hey baby ! Lets go home together ! And um .. you know what ? The whole school has already known about our relationship ! Isn't it great ?" Its a girl . An unknown one . Who the heck is this ?

Just when I was about to react , Stephanie comes to my sight . She looks to our direction , looking rather dissapointed .

"Clarice ..." she whispers . The girl immediately gives me a tighter hug . I'm not able to do anything as I'm confused on whats happening . Just then , Stephanie starts to cry and race out of the school gate .

"Steph , wait !" I call out , letting go from the girl's embrace and start running right behind her . She then crosses the road .

"Beep beep !" A driver honks his car which is moving at full speed .

I scream at the top of my lungs . This cannot happen ! I flung towards her and push her as hard as I could . I spread my arms wide . Her shriek is the last thing I can hear .

Then , everything turns black .
