My Double Life

Chapter 21

Skylar's POV

"What's with all the commotion?" I ask Gabby as I walk up to them

There is a huge crowd blocking the cafeteria and I am starving

"A sophomore spilled juice on Heather and now she's creating a scene. She's basically humiliating the poor girl." Karen answers

"And you guys along with everyone else are just watching?"

"We don't want to get involved, Heather is scary."

Scary my foot...

"Skylar what are you doing?" Gabby calls after me as I make my way through the crowd

I get my way through the crowd and reach the front where Heather is saying nasty things to the girl

"This was an expensive designer shirt, one that your whole family wouldn't be able to afford." Heather yells

Almost everyone from the crowd laughs. That's bullying and I don't tolerate bullying

"I-I'm sorry, it wasn't intentional I promise."

The girl tries to reason but Heather doesn't seem to hear her. I make the right move by moving closer because just as I am, Heather raises her hand in attempt to slap the sophomore. I block her hand just in time

"Weather am i right?"

She looks between my face and my hand gripping hers

"It's Heather, who are you and why are you touching me?"

I drop her arm at her question

"I think Weather is the right name because of the storm you are brewing here."

"Can't you see that I was in the middle of something, move!" She demands

"Bullying you mean, and why would I allow you to continue with that?"

She inches closer to me, "because if you don't, I'll make both you and that thing over there's lives a living hell for as long as I'm here."

Oh my goodness I'm shaking..

"Is that every bully's line? Nah try again but this time, think of something else or be original. Maybe something James Bond or Jackie Chan would probably say."

Snickers can be heard from the crowd and I can see the blood rush to her pale cheeks out of embarrassment.

"Now, I am here because I want you to apologize to this beautiful young lady for all the hurtful things you said to her."

Everyone looks at me with shocked expressions even the sophomore girl, she looks frightened

"Excuse me?"

I ignore her remark, she kinda reminds me of Vicky from WWE. I already dislike enough Vickys

"What's your name?" I ask the sophomore

"Nat, Natalie." She looks down at her feet

"Natalie look at me." She obliges, "What happened?"

She's reluctant to tell me at first, a few seconds go by until she speaks. Not very audible if I may add

"I accidentally spilled juice on Heather while running to the library to meet up with my friends. It was my fault I wasn't looking where I was going."

One can hear the fear in her voice. It's so sad that people go through this most of the time because of another person

"And did you apologize to Heather?" She nods
