Orphan

Chapter 2

When the day had initially started, I hadn’t expected it to be this…good. First I get rescued from my bully by even bigger bullies, my class test was a huge win for me with easy as hell questions, for once no one in my school was annoying me, I haven’t seen Jason all day and my Math teacher is out sick. If only we hadn’t got any homework it would have been a perfect day; but anyway, my day’s almost over and I’m looking forward to going home so I can finish what I have to and relax.

“Dude watch where you’re going,” I muttered as someone bumped against me and I turned around, noticing Harry and his pack of imbeciles once again. “Maybe you’d like to watch your tone…” Harry said with a slight smirk. “She’s all tough now that Jason’s been chased off now isn’t she?” Zayn chuckled; his arms crossed loosely against his toned chest as his jaws clenched and relaxed with each slow chew of his bubblegum. “I didn’t need your help I’m used to it, but thanks anyway,” I replied with a sarcastic smile as Louis rolled his eyes at me, “Well, we gave it to you whether you like it or not, yeah?”

“I don’t care for yo-“ I was quickly hushed as Harry spoke up again, “-Listen sweet cheeks, I don’t have time for this lecture right now but I’ll be around yours at six,” he answered coldly as he leaned in briskly, his lips just inches from mine as I slid back quickly. “Whoa- The fuck dude?” I asked furrowing my eyebrows as he raised his own. “I saved you, you owe me and you’re mine now whether you like it or not,” He spoke casually as if he had said the most naturally normal thing in the world. “No I’m not… Leave me alone,” I mumbled as fear started to elude me, these guys were bad news and they wanted to take advantage of me. Everything I’ve been warned against was coming into focus. “Aw Harry, look she’s scared now. Little pussycat’s turned into a plain pussy,” Liam commented with a childish snort as I raised a hand to slap him, but it was against my better judgment as I was quickly pushed to a wall and pinned by my neck as the rest of the boys formed a barrier around me, to block anyone from seeing or stopping whatever was about to happen.

My heart had gone wild as it tried to break free from the boundaries which was my ribcage. “Now listen here sweetcheeks, we did you a favour and I expect payment. So you had better get off you fucking ‘high horse’ and learn some respect. You’ve got a real cheek speaking to us like this and lifting your hands to me mates as you would…” Harry whispered, his breath lingering on my neck causing me to whimper slightly, “You’re in my territory now, love.” He smiled pulling away as the rest of the boys broke apart as if on cue and they were out of the cafeteria in a matter of seconds. I let out a shaky breath as I sat down holding my stomach. Everything about this made me sick.

“Hey ice queen, you okay?” Hunter asked as he sat down next to me, “Hey Hunt, I can’t justify or come to terms with what just happened.” I answered with a sigh as I looked up from my lap. “Which would be?”
“You mean you didn’t just see that?” I mumbled, speechless as he stared at me with a perplexed mind hidden beneath his wavy bangs which messily landed across his face; he must have been running again. “No, I just came. I overslept.” He chuckled as I gave him a dumbfound expression, “The day is practically over, there’s only one period to go,”

“Yeah I know.” He smirked as I laughed at his utter disregard for this school or its rules, he was the one person who knew how to cheer me up at any given point in the day. “Well are you gonna tell ol’ Hunts what happened to ya little lady?” he smiled as he nudged my arm slightly, I chuckled nodding in response, “Well, Harry and the dipshits were here again…” was all I had to say before Hunter was up with rolled up sleeves and clenched fists as I hastily pulled him back down, both he and I knew he wouldn’t be able to take on Harry and is boys. Maybe one-on-one he’d stand a chance, maybe. But the sweet thing was he didn’t care if we knew he wouldn’t make it, he was still always willing to go for it. “Hunter, just hang on… it’s not like that.
