Overprotective

Chapter 29

When the final bell rang everyone ran towards the door. I almost made it when a hand grabbed my wrist and pulled me into an empty classroom.

"What the hell Hardings?" Someone yelled. He turned on a light and I was able to see who it was; Chad.

"What do you want Chad?" I questioned rolling my eyes.

"I know that it was you who did the pranks today. I just wanted to tell you that you better stop before something happens to you."

"I'm not going to listen to you Chad. I'm not afraid of you."

"Then let me show you what will happen if you don't listen." I was going to reply but before I could he punched me in the stomach. I doubled over in pain as he punched me in the face.

"Chad please stop." I managed to get out.

"Tell me that you will stop with the pranks and you will never bother me again." He ordered.

"I will never prank you or bother you again." He smirked in satisfaction and left leaving me to deal with the pain. As soon as he left my phone started ringing.

"Hello?" I answered.

"Where are you?" Emily asked.

"I'm on my way."

"You better hurry. Mason is getting mad and he's about to storm into the school and drag you to the car. I've been able to keep him calm so far but I don't know how much longer I can."

"I'm almost to the car." I lied. I finally was able to stand up straight and I started making my way to the car.

"Where were you?!" Mason yelled when I got in.

"I had to get something from one of our teachers." I lied. He believed my lie and he drove us home.

As soon as he parked I ran into the house and into the office. Most of the time I went into the office to think about things that were bothering me like the messages and of course stupid Chad.

In 7th grade Chad has been the best thing anyone had ever seen. Even I thought that he was amazing. But of course that was before he decided that he would be a jerk and do what he did. The days before he kissed Stacey were amazing. He was sweet and kind and he acted like he actually cared about me. I didn't tell my brothers about what happened with him so they didn't help me. All they knew was that I came home from school crying one day and I locked myself in the closet so that I wouldn't have to talk to anyone. Emily would try to get me to leave the closet by saying that she was going to the mall, but that didn't work.

I still wanted to get back at Chad, but knowing what would happen if I did make me think about it. If he kept hurting me then someone would notice and he would be expelled from school, but it would be at the cost of me getting hurt. There was also the possibility of me stopping the pranks and messing with him, but then I would never feel like I got the chance to make him feel bad about what he had done.

And then of course there was the messages. I didn't know who was sending them or why they were sending them, but I wanted to figure out the case of them. To figure it out I needed to start with Chad. I knew that messing with him would end up really bad, but he might know who they were and why they were doing it.

Sorry I know that this chapter is really bad, but at least it didn't take me very long to finish it.
