In Love With The Bully

Chapter-1

Punched the bully

Meredith's POV

I looked at the wall clock, 10:00 am. God! Only an hour left. I started writing feverishly again as if my life depended on it. Currently I'm giving an exam at Florecent High ,the most expensive and one of the best schools here. And only very rich people could afford it. I was the only middle class person among all these filthy rich people. In order to get a full scholarship , I had to top this entrance exam which was a weird but a really challenging condition and I was determined to accomplish it.

I was a bit confused about the answer of question 26 when the boy sitting next to me tapped my shoulder. I ignored him. "Hey, cute girl. What's your answer for no. 23?"he asked. Cute girl? Surely he was flirting with me to cheat. I ignored him again. I kept on ignoring him and he kept on nagging me. Finally, my temper flared up so I gave him the wrong answers.

Two months later

I did it. I actually did it. I'm the scholarship student of Florecent High. I was soo happy. My mom and dad were really happy too. I was very happy to see them smile and laugh after so long. I felt like I was floating! I was that happy.

Then I remembered the boy who sat next to me. If he had made it to Florecent, then he would surely kill me if he found out about the wrong answers.

A week later

My uniform was not ready yet. So my mom contacted the principal saying that I couldn't wear uniform today and not to get me dress coded. So I wore jeans and sneakers. Even though I wasn't wearing anything special, I double checked my appearance in the mirror.

I had blue eyes and strawberry blonde hair. In my opinion, not a very good combination. I ate breakfast hurriedly and jumped into the car. My dad came a bit later and drove me to school.

I got admitted to Florecent high but could I really fit in to the environment? I thought about the exam day. I was really nervous seeing all the richest kids in the world around me. Ugh! Finally I reached there and looked around and gaped. The school was so huge and grand like a huge fairytale castle. I had only seen part of the school during the exam day. But now , I saw the full view of the school which made me a bit nervous. I waved at my dad and went towards the school.

I could see people laughing and chatting . Suddenly, every body started pointing at me and whispering. It was so awkward that I ran away from there. When I thought I had reached an isolated area, I started reducing my pace. Just when I thought I was safe, someone grabbed me from the back and slammed me towards the wall. I was so taken aback that I wanted to scream my lungs out. But after I saw the person I stopped myself from screaming. It was the same boy who had sat beside me during entrance exam.

"You think you can mess with me and I'm going to let you off easy?" he asked leaning heavily on me. Our faces were only inches apart. "Get off me jerk" I said through gritted teeth. I heard many laughs so I wanted to see how many were there in his group. But I couldn't because of the jerk leaning on me. "Where's your uniform? Can't afford it, can you? Scholarship student Meredith Grand" I heard a female voice mocking me. "That's none of your business " I said trying to push the jerk off me. "You think you can teach me wrong answers , huh?"said the boy smirking. "It doesn't matter now. You're already here" I said gasping for breath. "Oooh! Look at the poor girl trying to defend herself. I'll let you go only if you agree to be my slave" said the childish , bastard. Then he leaned closer towards me. My temper flared up. Maybe I could punch his stomach and run real fast. So I aimed properly and with all the powers I had, I punched him.

He was caught off guard. He flew away from me and slammed into a pillar. Others forgot about me and surrounded their 'boss'. The girl who was mocking me was in hysterics. That gave me the chance to run away and I ran as fast as I could. "I'm ok. She's running away. Leave me alone and just go after her" I heard the boy shout. They were too late though. I was already out of their reach. I was still running head long when I bumped into a guy. "Woah! Slow down " he said as I helped him pick the books. "Were you being bullied, Scholarship student?" he asked me gently ,looking at me curiously with his dark eyes. I looked away and nodded. "Knew it. Don't let them bully you , ok? You're a scholarship student. It means that you're special than any of them. By the way, I'm a second-year. Joseph Niarchos and you're Meredith Grand" he said extended his hand. I shook it and smiled. "So, later then?" I asked. He nodded.

I heard the bell ring. So I requested a girl to lead me to my class. Her name was Ellie. She was really friendly and down to earth. She was different than the other rich kids. I had chemistry now.When I reached my class, I looked around and saw the bully. He had a bandage on his hand and blood was still trickling down. I smiled with satisfaction. It was my first day and I had already beaten up a bully. I didn't see any member of his group with him. Instead of his group, there were girls around him. Caressing his arm and flirting with him. I looked at him closely. He sure was pretty hot. With blonde hair and blue-green eyes he was someone any girl would fall for. But never me.

Then suddenly he turned towards me. I looked coldly towards him and smirked. His eyes widened and he approached me. Just then the teacher came and I ran off to sit in the seat which was the farthest from where he was sitting.
