He's My Secret (edited-ish)

It was time for physical education and that was something I wasn't excited for, today we had swimming. The closest bathroom to the pool was one that was always empty, a little scary and was considered as a unisex bathroom.
______________________

I went to the bathroom a little before lunch was over and of course, no one was there. It was quiet and kind of creepy, it made me feel as if I was at school on a weekend and like someone was watching me.

I quickly went in one of the stalls and changed into a one-piece swimming suit and also placed tights over it before putting on a gigantic sweater that belonged to my mum.

I stepped out of the stall and walked over to the bathroom mirror.
One of the lights above had a shortage and the sound of the electricity flow being cut off as the light dimmed was the only thing that could be heard.

I was fixing up my hair which had messed up a bit from changing when I glimpsed someone in the far corner of the bathroom.

I jumped in fright as I looked over to the person.
"Ho, Hi Cole," I said as my heartbeat slowly went back to normal.

He smirked creepily at me before saying "you were always such a pretty little thing."
His words slurred as he spoke, he took a step towards me and staggered as I took a step back.

"Are you drunk?." I asked causing him to burst out in a fit of laughter. This caused my heart to go into full overdrive as my eyes went wide but I tried to act as calm as possible.

There were three things I was afraid of in this world: mean insects, mentality unstable people and drunk people, and right now I was very afraid.

I tried to sidestep him as he continued to come closer to me until I quickly tried to make a run for it.

My father had always told me that my fares were stupid especially me being afraid of drunk people because they were weak and useless, but that wasn't the case when Cole grabbed my sweater by its hoodie and pulled me back to him causing me to scream as loud as I could.

"Shhhhh." He said as he held me firmly, I was in shock and I felt so useless as he cupped my mouth with his hand silencing me.

"So innocent and pure." He slurs, he was definitely drunk, the smell of alcohol on him was like he had taken a bath in it.

His face was in the nape of my neck, I felt his tongue lick my exposed skin, his hand then travelled to my sweater zipper as he slowly began to pull it down causing my instincts to kick in. I bit his hand as hard as I could and stomped on his foot before running and screaming.

This drunk person was definitely not weak towards me and seemed to want my clothes off me.

I had dropped my school bag a long time ago and just ran. Just as I ran out of the bathroom I ran straight into someone causing me to scream even louder as I tried to fight the person off.

"Amanda? Amanda!!, Manda it's me." The person said as he held my hands and shook me out of my ranged state.

If it was in another situation, Terrance would have been the last person I wanted to see but in this case, I've never been happier to hear his accent or see his dumb face.

"What's wrong?!." He asked me but my brain was still catching up, my eyes were still wide as he allowed me to rest on him for comfort.

"I think he was trying to get my clothes off me, I think he was gonna....." but I couldn't say that word, I refuse to believe that Coles drunken state was gonna attempt to rape me, I wouldn't say it, was I overreacting.

"Who?." He asked but I didn't reply,

"Amanda who gave you does intentions?." He asked sounding slightly upset as he moved away from me slightly so that he could look in my eyes.

"Come back, babe." Coles slurred as he exits the bathroom using the wall as support as he walked out.

Terrance instantly read my face expression when seeing Cole and pushed me behind him taking a stand in front of me.

"He did," I whispered as I looked over at Cole from behind Terrance.

"Stay behind me." He said protectively if we weren't in a horrible situation I'd have to admit how hot he sounded saying that.

"Let me finish what I was about to start." He said and that one line/sentence from Cole that was directed to me seemed to have done the trick on Terrance.

He made long serious strides over to Cole before he held him up by his neck and pushed him onto the ground.

The next thing I know is that Terrance was on the ground pounding his face in and there was blood, there was so much blood.

I kept on screaming at him to stop but he didn't, he only ended up stopping when I held him by his shoulder and shirt and tried to pull him off Cole before he killed him which he eventually moves and listens to me.

He stood up and kicked Cole in the stomach as I tried to pull him away from him once more.

"That's enough!!, stop!!." I yelled as I pulled him along with me.

"He could have done worse to you Amanda."  He said as he glared over at Cole's bloody whimpering form on the ground.

"But he didn't," I said as I quickly moved In front of him when he took a step closer to Cole again.

By now there was a crowd looking at Cole then at a furious Terrance who wanted to beat the shit out of Cole.

We were called to the principals' office a few minutes later.

I sat in the waiting chairs with Terrance beside me. His face was neutral as if it was just another boring uneventful day as if he didn't just beat a drunken boy to pulp and like there wasn't dry blood on his shirt.

The principal called us in one at a time and questioned us,  then both of us.

"I don't know how to punish you both since you both basically didn't do anything wrong." Our principal explained

"You saw a fellow student in need and went to the rescue, but hitting Cole, so many times at least was unnecessary and uncalled for so I'm giving you a few days suspension." He stated

"This, however, will not go on your files since I am well aware of who your family layer is Mr. Rowe, you are dismissed and free to go home if you want. Amanda, you are free to take as many days you need to recover." He told us as he looked over to me with apologizing and sorrowful eyes.
