LOVE IMPERFECTION

11*

Lily's POV.

Welcome, to another Monday morning, where it doesn't ever get old for the bullies. As for their victims they continue to curse their fate and hate highschool.

When I think about it, nothing good ever comes out of a Monday morning, nothing new happens in my life. It's just like a broken tv, playing back and forth.

My home is the safest place I could ever be, my rules, my space. Well, my dad's rules, to be exact. But it's still same. But in school, surrounded with all the tension, especially when the one person that can give you dreadful nightmares is standing right infront of me with his eyes glued to your direction and your legs, all of a sudden forgetting how to run.

No, I am not kidding. I am stuck, the cafeteria was right infront of me. All I had to do is get my lunch and hightail it outta here.

But, Adrian miller just had to be closer to me than the cafeteria.

He was talking to someone in front of me, I couldn't see who he is talking to but Adrian is facing me.

Wait, is he looking at me

What do I do now, his eyes are on me.

Run.

I wish, but my legs are stuck to the ground. why isn't he shouting or screaming my name. He should be walking towards me by now but he isnt, then why are his eyes on me.

I turned my head slowly to see maybe he's looking at someone behind me but there was no one there.

I glanced at him again and his eyes are still looking my way, I looked down and decide to get away from there by any means.

"Hey" I heard him called.

My heart jumped to my tongue.
I refused to raise my head to look at his angry face.

"What took you so long with my lunch". He says, voice laced with anger.

Lunch, I don't know anything about any lunch, does that mean he's not talking to me.

I felt like a bucket of cold water is poured over my sweaty body.

I looked up and saw him slapping a boy's face who's holding a tray of lunch.

I took the opportunity to disappear from there, before my breathing even.

I haven't seen BC anywhere, I felt bad for what happened yesterday. He agreed to be my friend afterall, I shouldn't have lashed out like that.

But what is my fault in wanting to help him stand up for himself, even though,  now I feel bad, I started the fight after all.

After school, I walked nervously with hurried steps, I just wanted to get out of school as soon as possible.

I sighted Vanessa's driver in a limo waiting for her as always.

"I heard what you did to Adrian" venessa intervene my thoughts.

I turn to meet her the disdainful look she's giving me.

"Lily why do you even try, you will never be anybody, what's the use of trying to act brave." She said looking at her fingers.

She let out a short laugh "He will make you pay lily. And I will be waiting after he's done with you".

My lips thinned, I knew that already. I turned and start to walk away but she grabbed my hair.

"Venessa" I shrieked.

"Do not walk away when am talking to you how many times should I say it". She yelled in my ear.

"What are you doing venessa" I heard a Man's voice from behind her.

"Don't you dare interfere otherwise I will make you lose your job". She shouted to the man.

I grabbed her hand from behind that's holding my hair and yanked it away making my scalp hurt.

"STOP" I pushed her and she fell to the ground, like a bag of laundry.

I turn away and start running.

When I looked back, her driver was trying to help her up and she screamed something I couldn't hear.

While looking back I hit my leg on something hard and I fell to the ground, elbow first.

I groan in pain and looked at my elbow, scratched. I sat upright.

I wasn't concern about the pain because the one in my heart is worst.

"Are you okay?"
I looked up and saw him standing beside me

"Am fine!".

He nod and forwarded his hand to help me stand.

I looked at his hand then his face,  he smiled sheepishly. I took his hand and stood.

"I am.." he started

"Bye " I said quickly and took off towards my house.

He followed me, running behind me as I ran.

"Stop following me". I bawled.

" I want to talk only". He repeated for the 10th time.

"I dont wanna talk now!".

"Am sorry". He says stopping in his tracks.

"For what?" I waved a hand in the air.

"You are hurt because of venessa but it's my fault". He stated and start to move his legs back and forth.

I rolled my eyes, he is really good at being sad. "You mean you saw that"?.

"Yeah" he said and quickly added. "Am sorry".

"No, you are not. I tripped". I assured.

"Yeah but-." I cut him off with a glare.

"Just don't follow me".

"Can I maybe- um". He sank his hand into his hair. " Walk you home".

I opened my mouth to talk but no words flew out.

The target's target was in sight, legs ready to take off, the devil in human skin is infront of me.

"Enough". I heard bc said, teeth gritted, jaw clenched.
