Protect Me

Jessica's POV

I was utterly humiliated in my English lesson and i had to serve detention after school. Ethan James was in the same class as mine and he laughed at me, along with other people. I completely gave up hope in controlling my life. I let fate decide for me. I am a broken girl who will marry a guy who does not love me at all. I went to my second class which was Physical Education and i did not have any gym clothes. The teacher, Miss Evans, excused me from PE. She did not see my bruised face as i kept my head down when i was talking to her. They were playing volleyball, girls versus boys. A lot of people secretly aim the volleyball at my face so i moved to the bleachers. However, the second i sat down, the volleyball hit my face and i heard tremendous laughters before i was knocked into unconsciousness.

The moment i woke up, there was a face in front of me and i realised it was Miss Evans.I was in the school's sick bay. She looked at me with concern and i nearly broke into tears as i had no one who showed me so much concern before. "Are you okay?" she asked. "Yes." I managed to choke out. I rubbed my nose and winced in pain. "Don't touch your face. It is bruised badly." she said. "You are excused from the rest of the day. You can go after the school bell rings." Miss Evans said gently to me."But i have detention with Mr John." I murmured. "Then you have to go for the detention." She replied kindly before leaving.

Ethan's POV

I sat down at the usual table that we, the popular ones sat, with my food. My best friend, Jayden and some of the other popular ones were already there."Hey, did you know that nerd is in the sick bay?" Jayden said, with humour in his voice. "Why?" I asked, pretending not to be concerned. "She was hit with a volleyball during her Physical Education, which was right after her English class. Such a poor thing! Suffer one after another of humilation." Jayden laughed after saying. I clenched my fists together at the thought of her being injured and Jayden laughing as though she deserved it. I tried not to show my anger and continued to ask, "Who hit her?" "I heard that it was Rine Bieber." Just then. someone slided onto my lap and it was Rine Bieber. "How are you, baby?" She purred. My face crunched in disgust and pushed her onto the floor. "Don't touch me as though i am yours!" I warned before going off. I heard her cursed but i did not care at all.

I went to the field and sat down on the bleachers. I must be mad for being caring Jessica Tanner. I was supposed to hate her. "Damn, I cared for her!" I shouted out as there was no one around. "You cared for who?" Jayden asked from behind.I recognised hisvoice. "What the hell are you doing here?!" I yelled as i was startled. "I decided to follow you as i am scared something might happen to you." Jayden replied. "So who you cared?" he asked again after sitting down beside me. "No one!" I growled. "You cared for Jessica Tanner, right?" he said. Jayden was the only one who knew i have to marry Jessica Tanner. I did not answer him and he thought he had guessed the correct answer. "She is in the sick bay now. Go and see her before you regret." Jayden said after several minutes passed. "Leave me alone!" I said and after a few moments, i heard him sighed and went off. I contemplated of whether wanting to go and see her and decided to go and see her.

She was lying on the bed, sound asleep. I crept over to her bed and looked at her. Her face was badly bruised and my heart wrenched at the sight of her face. She looked fragile and delicate looking. i smoothened her hair. She moaned in her sleep and i froze. She continued to sleep and i breathed out in relief. I kissed her on the forehead before i went off as i had classes to attend.
