THE NEW BOY | 16+✔️

Chapter 12

It's now Monday and I haven't heard a peep from Hunter but I'm glad because It's given me time to think. The weekend was rubbish and my dad was at work through most of it. I spend all day Saturday with Andie and Wyatt. I told them about what happened the night before and they were shocked, Andie was ready to hurt him for hurting me but I begged her not too. They still don't know about being friends with benefits with him because Hunter and I agreed to not tell anyone and I'm sticking to it.

I dress casually for school, I wear black jeans, white t-shirt and black and white converses. I wrap my hair in a bun with my favourite scrunchie. I don't put makeup on, only makeup to cover my slightly faded hickeys and bruising around my neck. I didn't realise how hard he gripped me before since I was in shock. I meet my dad in the kitchen and pour myself cereal and a class of orange juice.

"Sorry sweetheart, I have to go into work. I'll see you at dinner, I promise. Love you", he says and kisses my forehead softly.

"Love you too", I reply.

After I've eaten my cereal I place the bowl and spoon into the sink and pick up my backpack at the front door and start walking towards Andie's car. She told me about how well her and Bryce are doing and funny stories about them trying to cook together, I smile and chuckle while listening. She's so lucky and I'm so happy for her, It lightens my mood to hear her so happy.

While I walk to my locker at school, I hear screaming and cheering. It gets louder when walking down hall, I turn the corner to see Hunter and Alex fighting. Hunter is straddling Alex punching into his face while everyone watches and has their phones out recording. Why is no one breaking it up! I run over and tug Hunter's shoulder trying to pull him back. He pushes me back and I fall onto my ass. His fist raises to take another punch.

"Hunter!!" I scream which silences everyone. He cocks his head towards me with his fist still in the air. He stands up staring at me as his chest raises up in down in heavy breaths. He walks towards me reaching for my hand to help me up. I smack his hand away and stand up to my feet. I pat myself down to get any dirt off me.

"What is going on?!", the headmaster Mr. Currie comes into view shouting, everyone scatters and Alex wobbles up to his feet, his face covered in blood.

"Come on, let's get you to the nurse", Mr. Currie says to Alex. He points towards Hunter shouting "In my office...now!", He walks away with Alex.

"Brinley, I'm so sorry. Can we talk?", He asks me with a sad tone and completely ignoring Mr. Currie instructions.

"No, leave me alone", I turn to leave but he grabs my arm pulling me back.

"Please listen, I didn't mean to hurt yo-", I cut him off.

"I don't care, this thing we had is over. You're just my toy and I'm fed up with my toy now!", I snap using his words trying to hurt his feelings.

"You know... I was going to tell you what you really wanted to know because I felt sorry for you but fuck you! I'm done caring", he snaps and brushes past my shoulder, he didn't even care to begin with.

Fucking asshole, I hate him... I can't believe I let him touch me. I walk away angrily to my locker and take my books out I shove them into my bag and make my way to English class. I'm absolutely dreading to see him, the stupid... gorgeous tattooed prick that he is. I walk in hoping there are any other seats but the only seat left is beside that dickhead. I sit down beside him not even giving him one look. When the class begins I feel his eyes on me. I finally look his way with a scowl.

"What you looking at asshole!?", I snap.

"Something gorgeous", he winks.

"Are you delusional? Stop looking and talking to me"

"Maybe", he leans to his side closer to me and whispers, "I say when it's over"

"Fuck you, Hunter!"

"You'd love to", he scoffs.

"Yeah right", I mock back a scoff and roll my eyes.

"H-Hunter!", he mockingly moans into my ear.

"Go fuck yourself!", I shout and storm out of the class. Everyone's eyes were on me and I hate it. I let him get to me like always which makes me feel so fucking stupid. I hate him so fucking much. I'm so angry at myself and him. I hear footsteps loudly behind me and someone grabs my arm dragging me into the closet. I turn around to see who it is. No shocker there.

"Hunter, leave me the fuck alone!", I push on his chest, I go to push him again but he grabs tightly around my wrist and pushes me against the door. I try getting out of his grip but he's too strong, he just stares into my eyes until I calm down.

"Why did you fight with Alex?", I question when he finally lets go of my wrists.

"It doesn't matter", he scowls. I turn around to reach for the handle because I'm sick of his shit so I'm leaving.

"Wait, I'll tell you but you're not gonna like it", he says. I turn around to face him waiting for him to tell me.

"He's been chatting shit about you", he says in his bold English accent of his.

"What!? Like what?", I raise my voice.

"H-he.."

"Spit it out Hunter!"

"He's been going around saying you slept with him and yous did stuff and he also said some other stuff. I know it wasn't true because I'm the only guy you've done stuff with. but he saw us at the party hand in hand it must've pissed him off. Today he came up to me and said these horrible things about you so I lost it... again"

"What? Why would he lie?", Don't cry, don't cry I scold myself. How many rumours has he told about me? Is it just that? Now I'll feel like everyone is looking at me and talking about me.

"I don't know baby, I'm sorry about everything"

"What happened that night Hunter, why was your face busted?", I ask hoping he'd tell me, his face isn't as bad as it was and it's slowly healing now, light bruises still visible.

"Please Brinley, can you just let it go", he looks away from me and I know he doesn't want to tell me so I won't push it for now but I won't forget what he did to me.

"You have to go back to class, I'll be there soon. Mr. Currie wants to speak to me", he says breaking the silence.

"Okay" I nod.

"I'm sorry, I really am...for everything", he says and I nod slowly. At least he said sorry right?

I don't know if we're back to the way things were before or not but one minute he's hot and then the next he's cold. He's really confusing. Now he's beating people up for me, does he care for me more than a friend or not? I walk back to class and before I know it half the day has passed, I'm now sitting at lunch with Andie and Wyatt.

"We should go to my cabin this weekend", Wyatt enthuses.

"I'd love that", Andie squeals clapping her hands.

"I'll have to ask my dad but I'm sure he'll be fine with it", I say with a shrug. He loves Wyatt and he's talked to his parents a few times, my dad is one of those people that everyone loves and everyone loves him.

"Okay it's settled, I'll pick both of you up at seven on Friday. We can talk more about it when the time comes", Wyatt says with a huge smile.
