Spirited Away To You

Chapter-37

The next day started with William pampering me with his morning kisses. We stayed in bed cuddling each other before Uncle stormed in to get me to school. I was shocked to see him in my room.

"Why are you sitting like that?" He asked pointing at me.

I was sitting with my hands refraining William from defeating me in pillow fight while straddling his waist. I quickly jolted from my position but in the process landed on my butt.

"Umm, just stretching," I called out from the floor while Uncle just sighed.

"Get a hold on yourself, young lady," he went off after saying that.

"You alright?" William popped his head from the bed with a smirk.

"I will be now," I said before crying out loud and resuming the fight.

                            ☆☆☆

I sat in the cafeteria with William, who was eating the fries off my plate, waiting for Jaxon and Mikayla, wondering if Mikayla told him about Elijah. He would not take that easy. I saw them both entering the cafeteria together, Jaxon having a very disturbed face.

She did tell him.

"I'm gonna kill that fucker," Jaxon exclaimed while Mikayla held him to calm him down.

Well, he wouldn't be the first one to say that. The whole cafeteria was silent with the 'popular table' seemingly empty.

"He's already in deep shit," Mikayla said, which perked up our ears.

"He got expelled from school and got an arrest warrant for hurting Britney. As for hitting me, his dad bailed him out but he can't stay anywhere near me."

"That's not fair," William exclaimed. I squeezed his hand to shut him.

"What does his father do?" I asked.

"He's a judge of the Supreme Court," Mikayla sighed.

"But I gave all the evidences, wasn't that enough?" I scoffed thinking if it was possible to ignore something so specific with money.

"They are still looking into it, but Britney needs to give a statement," Mikayla said before adding,

"But an interesting thing was when the police went to his home, he was beaten up badly and was repeatedly saying that he was getting beaten by no one in particular," Mikayla said laughing at the end.

I gave William a knowing look while he just avoided my gaze. I had to go and talk to Britney about it.

                              ☆☆☆

"Which part of 'stay out of it' didn't you get?" Britney spat at me when I confronted her.

William had gone home when Aunt called and said she couldn't find Trixie and Aristotle.

"You would have gone in anyway, so I-"

"Save it, who even told you to act so mighty, huh?"

I felt jabbed a little at her words but knew she was also hurting from all the rumours around the school.

"Look I didn't say, Mikayla-"

"How does she fit in here?" Britney asked.

She didn't hear about her.

So I told her about Elijah hitting Mikayla yesterday which was not even the first time.

"What? I thought he liked her for real."

"Then he wouldn't have cheated on her."

Britney gave me an ugly look. I just shrugged at her.

"Fine, I will go and give my statement."

She sighed before turning the other way.

"You can come to my house for the project," she said with her back facing me.

"I will send you the address."

"Okay," I said as she walked around the corner.

I hoped everything turned out right with Britney.
