Chapter Fifty-Six

* H a r r y *

The minuet I walked inside my English class, my professor called my name. Why is it that I wanted to punch him so suddenly? So I turned with annoyance.

"Your project is graded." He crosses his hands. "Impressed by how well you are with the high school students. It was very precise and convincing. Now, present it."

A few gasps were heard here and there, awaiting for me to talk. It was childish of me to keep my voice hidden but, for some reason I grew out of it. It's been a heck of a long time since I spoken.

"Or are you going to not talk and fail without presenting?" He said with a chuckle but frowned when I smiled at him. Sweetly and genuinely sent him a grin.

"Okay." I walked over the center of the room. "My project was about..." I continued talking until my presentation was complete including answering questions from the class. Even though they were shocked, they asked questions and acted as it was not a big deal.

I turned to my professor who was shocked himself. His hands begin to clap and smile at me. "Well done, Harry." He revealed my name.

"Thanks." I bowed in kindness and walked towards me seat.

"Well that took forever." Said the snobby girl behind me. "Nice voice."

I ignored the comment but smiled afterwards because it feels good to let myself be shown again, like at Britain.

The day went by smoothly, and now I am headed to pick up Mary. When I arrived, I slid on my thick coat, pulled my hair back and walked over towards the exit and only exit from the front. The bell slightly gave me a fright, seeing kids instantly rush out of class. I observed carefully to find Mary and take her home.

"Harry!" I heard a high yell.

Amanda waved up ahead with Mary by her side. Her face was on the floor, grabbing her books tightly under her grasp. It seems to me that she was still traumatized by what Jason is doing. She didn't react at Amanda yell either, meaning she wasn't paying attention to her surroundings.

I entered the school, making people watched me once I stepped foot inside school property. Security saw me, even though I was prohibited to walk inside without the schools permission. I didn't care.

My eyes were glued to hers, but she was walking only staring at the floor. It was like the most amazing thing she has ever seen, but she had intentions that I was near. I walked quickly to her and see Amanda ran to me, but I pushed her aside.

My whole body crashed into Mary's, pulling her into a big and heart warming hug. Her arms weren't around me but placed on her sides. The scent of her fragrance filled my runny nose, loving the hug in seconds. Seconds later, I felt her arms hug me back. Before we hugged moreover, I pulled her quickly to my car.

"Why the fuck wouldn't you tell me he was touching you?" I revealed, breaking my plan.

Her eyes dart on mine ready for her to burst out with tears. She tried to hide the water in her eyes while wiping with her sleeve.

"I don't know what you're talking about." She lied.

"God damn it, Mary." I throw my hands in frustration. "That he fucking touched you in places while in a bra and underwear only. You know he would do more if you didn't say a word!"

She broke down then and there, loud cries, body shaking shown clearly with her small hands. It was next to me in the passenger seat as I watched her remember it all with a horror in her face. "You should of warned me that he was son of the top man in the Supreme Court." She yelled at me like it was my fault. "I feel like a prostitute, doing him favors!"
