Lily's POV.For the first time, I felt like my strength is connected to his I mean, two is better than one right.
Whenever I try to stand up for myself or BC, I always fail maybe because he doesn't help me.
If only we do it together then maybe those bullies will leave us alone."What do you mean?" He asked.
"I mean whenever I tried to stop Adrian from hitting you, I always fail and that's because you don't even try to stand up for yourself". I explain
He didn't say anything and I continued.
"Help me to help you then we can help each other.""We are not even friends why should I listen to you or accept your help".He says looking everywhere else but me.
"We are not?". I questioned.
" I don't know".
"Oh, I thought we are". I spoke, honestly.
He looked at me with hurtful eyes and said.
"No one has ever tried to be my friend here"."I will be your friend" I told him hopefully.
He searched my face with a bemused expression.
"No, I will always get you into trouble with Adrian".
"You can only get me into trouble if we let him". I said as a smile creeps up to my face.
"No one is a nobody OK, you said that to me, we won't let them hurt us anymore". I added staring at his expressions.
"What can we do?" He asked in a tired voice.
"Fight back" I fist my right hand and punched my left palm with it .
He stared at me for more than a second then his shoulder sag.
"Its hopeless". He commented sounding defeated.
I sigh mentally, I really need to convince him to do this, I cannot give up just yet. I don't want to continue like this.
"Hi, I am lily cruise, can I be your friend?". I extended my hand forward.
His lips part and kept darting his eyes from my face to my hand, he looked worried.
"What do you say?" I asked keeping my smile.
I just want to help him stand for himself, I feel like we could do it together.
If he is finally able to fight back, it only means he can help me fight back too.He sucked in a breath.
"Kendrick hart, nice to meet you". He shook my hand.I felt happy but not satisfied.
I cocked a brow at him, he rolled his eyes and continued.
"And yes we can be friends, I guess"."Yay!" I clapped my hands together in excitement.
"See, I have to go" He tried to stand but winced.
"Hey, careful, you are hurt" I remainded in a worried tone.
"I will be fine" He raised a hand before I could help him stand properly.
He sure doesn't like to accept help very easily.
"OK" I shrug. "See you tomorrow then".
"Tomorrow is a Saturday". He said as if reminding me.
"I know that, I mean see you Tomorrow here".
"For what?" He frowned.
I slapped my forehead
"For a plan"."What plan?"
"A plan of revenge". My voice laced with excitement.
"Oh, okay". He grin, shaking his head in some kind of disbelief.
I did too
"Goodnight". I waved.He nod and started walking with his toes slowly.
At that moment I stopped understanding anything as I stared at his retreating figure, I wonder why his mom let his out of the house in such a condition.
Does his parents even know he's being bullied every single day, I want to help him understand that we don't have to continue like this, we have a choice to fight back and that is what I chose.
I felt happy in fact very happy, this night is literally the best night of my life.
I will make sure they get what's coming for them, they have done enough and I won't let them make me cry anymore.
I skipped back home happily.
"Someone looks happy". Dad commented on my mood.
"I am very happy today dad". I grin goofily.
"What makes you so happy?" He asked also smiling.
"Nothing much, just happy" I shrug and skipped to my room.
I heard him chuckle.
I didn't want to tell him anything just yet and besides when the mean girls and Adrian were busy doing all those bad things to us, no one knew.
Or should I say no one tried helping us even if they are standing right there.
I am also going to make them cry, and no one will help them or stop me.
I hate them.
