My head was spinning, I could feel pain running through my entire body, another kick was placed to my side and I groaned In pain, I was used to this , bullying was normal to me and I learnt to deal with the pain. I felt someone sit on my torso and lift my head up, opening my eyes I looked a them, they where heavy and everything hurt so badly, It was Noah the ring leader, my main tormentor, I wriggled my body slightly in an attempt to get him off, he simply tightened his legs on my sides, I let out a small groan of pain.
"shh" he taunted, gently running his thumb along my jaw bone, pressing his shins hard against my sides.
I groaned again, Noah had been changing his ways and instead of the usual slamming my head into lockers , he had started to be softer, gentler, I hated it more than the hitting and kicking, it drove me insane, I groaned again and felt him pressing his finger firmly against my temple, I could see a smirk forming on his face.
"shh, its OK~" he smiled ,gently leaning closer to me and blowing on my neck , sending a shiver down my body,as he gently moved his hand down to my collar bone , pressing on the bruises already there. Why did he have to do this to me? Now he wasn't just hurting me......he was doing something else to me, I don't really understand what it is, its almost like I just want to be closer to him.....
