THE OLD ME BACK

Chapter 33

Over my dead body!

I despised myself for what happened to me. I could not believe I was surrounded by those pervert guys who kissed and licked my arms, neck, legs and most especially my lips. I felt like they took my reputation away.

So gross.

That's when I really hate myself for being weak at that time. But I could not fight back then because they were many. I was just only one compared to them. They really took advantage of me, so I hate them more than myself.

"Alesha? Tell us what happened."

For what I heard made me go back to my consciousness. I turned my attention again to the guidance counselor and to the principal. They're waiting for my answer. I badly needed to speak.

"I accuse them for physical and sexual harassment," I directly said and divert my sight to these pervert guys who remained silent in front of me. "You all took advantage of me. You treated me as if a slut!"

By that, they were expelled. They were kicked out from St. Jude and obliged to transfer to other school. They were just simply pervert and ordinary students that I should not prove more than else aside from what I told in order for them to believe in me.

"What's the news?" They approached me quickly after getting out from the office. But I just continued walking while they're following me. "Hey, Alesha. Are you okay? Do you want us to accompany you?"

"No, please. Leave me alone for now," I responded in a cold tone. I was not in a good mood to tell everything what happened to them inside the guidance office. Though I knew they already had the idea what happened to me in the locker room because the news spread out very fast.

"We do understand. Maybe we can talk later. I hope you can go there again."

I heaved a sigh when Thea reminded me of the Hideout Bar. My mind was so preoccupied that I wanted to drink a liquor any moment fro now. Eventually, I became addicted of its taste. It was then my gateway to escape. Inside of me wanted to forget my traumatic experience I ever had in my entire life.

My parents had no any idea about what happened to me since I requested from the guidance counselor that this should not be reported to my parents. It would be probably my dead end if they would know about it. Afraid I was, I should keep my mouth shut whenever I was at home.

But before I got home today, I was about to get out from the school gate when the four girls, so awkward-looking of their turban on heads, were in front of me. All of their eyes were on me. They all stared at me as if they were eager to kill me. But I didn't give them a damn. I continued my steps getting out, earning my courage to pass them by when one of them tweaked my hair all of a sudden.

"HOW DARE YOU!"

Ouch!

I was about to do my revenge when the other one pushed me hard that made me lean on the school gate. The school guard got panicked because of his shouts, but we didn't most mind them. What was only in my mind was to knocked them out. They were the first ones who initiated this, anyway.

"You really are a slut, admit it Alesha! You liked what happened!"

What did she just say? Did she really want me to break her bones?!

"Say it again, you parasite!" I got triggered already while punching her on her face. "How dare you say that when you are just referring to yourself!"

"STOP! HEY!" The guard tried to intervene us but the trouble worsened because we were all triggered to one another. Huh! Didn't they even think that I could kill one right away?!

"It's all your fault why they were sent away! They're good guys and we believe that you're the one who flirt them! ARGHH!!"

"O-ouch!" I exclaimed after kicking me out, so I composed myself and kicked her out too. I placed my shoes on her face while she's already laying on the floor. "You never knew what you're saying, you moron!"

"Aagghhh!!!" The rest of them rushed towards me but I pointed them out with my finger.

"Dare to come close to me! And I will push my heel hard on her cheek! Now move! Dare to come close now!"

Lately realized that all of the students in the campus were already in circle surrounding us, someone's hands abruptly grabbed me away. "Stop that, Alesha. Let's go home."

My heel was then stepped off from her cheek. The part of the crowd gave way for us to get our way out. Though I knew him already because of his voice and masculine perfume, I still gave him my glance.

"Hanky? I thought you're in your rehears--"

"I cancelled it out for you," he replied while his hands were still on my arms. "Let's go fast."

"But why? You said it would be your last rehearsal for a competition. I do understand that you're busy so we can't have a date later," I stated including my sincerity. From the very start, I already supported him all throughout his wants.

"You were already in trouble, Alesha. How can I bear that?" He responded that made me blushed. Oh my gosh, he's starting to have concern for me. "Now, get in the car. We're going to my condo."

After getting in the car when we reached the parking lot, he started the engine right away. While he's driving and focusing his eyes on the road ahead, I was simply stealing glances from him.

"What's the matter?" He asked with no looking back at me.

"Hmm...I felt so special today, you know that?" I answered and looked away. "I never thought you would have concern for me again. Many things happened, but you still chose me over your want."

"Because I still love you," he answered back. "I love you, Alesha, and if you love me too, maybe we can do here."

"What?"

"I said, we can do this thing here," he repeatedly said, and he stopped the engine after parking it on the roadside with no cars passing by. "Come on, Alesha."

"But wait---" I got trailed off when he came close to me after wearing out his seatbelt. He kissed me without my consent, but I let him do this thing for love.

"I still love you even if something happened to you at the locker room," he managed to utter after taking a breath. He's such a good kisser, you know.

"Believe me, Hanky, there's nothing happened there. It's just so close that they all ran away after."

"Whatever it is," he replied then he kissed me again, torridly. My eyes got widened when he started to touch my chest part. If I would not get mistaken, he would undress me afterwards.

"Wait, Hanky," I begged, but he still continued his inner desire. "No, please. I can't do it. We're still young."

"Please, Alesha. Just once."

Terribly, I shook my head and fixed myself by wearing on my blouse again. "I'm sorry."

"Fine. Leave."

And that's the most painful words I've heard from him. Like, seriously?
