Layla's POV

For the whole day so far, Jessica has not been acting like herself. She's been on edge and is always snapping at people, despite them not doing anything wrong.

"Jessica?" I ask quietly, so Mr. Payne - our science teacher - doesn't hear me. "Hm?" She replies quietly. "You okay?" I whisper. "Honestly, no." She sighs. "What's wrong?" I ask, concerned for her. "I-I can't say." She says, stuttering slightly. "Pleas-" "Girls, quiet." Mr. Payne says sternly. "Sorry." We apologies quickly. "Tell me after lesson, not all of it, at least some." I quietly say before going back to doing my work.

"What's wrong then Jess?" I ask as we rush into the nearest girls bathroom, away from everyone. "Promise not to tell anyone?" She asks. Her face full of worry. "I promise." I say. "Basically, every evening after school, I have to see Mr. Minter..." She mutters quietly, as if she's afraid to get caught. "About what?" I ask. She sighs before pulling the collar of her shirt down, revealing a huge dark purple/black/blue hickey from her neck down to her collar bone. "Fuck." I say in shock. "He did that." She whimpers. "Who? Mr. Minter?!" I ask in shock. She nods her head. "Jessica..." I say as I pull her into a hug. "I feel disgusting." She sobs onto my shoulder. "I tell you what, go home and I'll tell him that you're ill." I say as I pull away from the hug slightly. "He'll be mad." She whimpers. "No he won't." I say. "Now, go home." I say, almost like a order. "Okay." She nods. We then grab our things and head out.

I knock on Mr. Minters office door, loudly. "Come in." He says from the other side. I walk in. "Oh, Layla. How can I help?" He asks as he smiles at me. "Jessica told me to tell you that she's gone home ill." I forcefully smile at him. "Oh..." He says as he walks over to me. He then grabs my arm and pulls me inside fully before locking the door. "What did she tell you?" He asks sternly. "Everything." I snap back. "Fuck sake." He groans. "She's a student, not a sex toy!" I yell. "Don't you dare tell anyone." He snaps. "Or what?" I sass. "I'll personally kill you." He says, gritting his teeth. "Ha. You wish." I scoff. He then pins me up against a wall by my arms. "What?" He asks. His eyes red and full of anger. "I-I-I..." I stutter, scared for my life. "That's what I thought." He says before dropping me. "Now, leave." He says bitterly as he unlocks the door. "Touch Jessica again, and I'll tell everyone." I warn before pushing past him.

So, Layla knows and Simon isn't happy about that.
