I was dragging my feet to the gates so I could leave before she found me.

I kept looking back just in case she was behind me but she wasn't. I felt a little hope that today I can finally get home early.

But all my hope came crashing down when I tripped more like I got tripped. I didn't look upwards out of fear. I gulped when I saw Her

heels.

I stayed on the ground for a few seconds which felt like a decade to me when suddenly someone kicked my back harshly making me wince and turn around.

My gaze went upward and I saw my bully.. Riven Hartz with others smiling innocently yet her eyes had evil glint. I was hoping they wouldn't beat me again.

"Someone's leaving in a hurry without saying bye hm?" She said in a low seductive voice making me shiver.

"Ew what a freak I can't believe that you're talking with him in the first place"

"It's not like I'm here to gossip with this guy here. He was leaving so soon as if avoiding someone"

Riven walked towards me slowly while I gulped realising that she knew my plan.

She quietly knelt down in front of me and leaned towards me her breath hitting my face and slowly whispered

"Who is my baby boy running from?" She kept her hands on my thighs. I stayed silent knowing if I said anything she would hit me.

"Why are you ignoring me honey? Answer me honey before I cut your fcking tounge off"

I immediately looked towards her and said

"N-no one I-I was just leaving in h-hurry because my mother told m-me to come e-early today... B-because she n-needs to g-go for w-work today..."

I face palmed mentally for stuttering like this while the others around me laughed as if I had cracked a funny joke.

"Hm mommy called you early hm?"

"Y-yes"

"Let him be Riven o-or h-his m-mother will b-become s-sad" *mocking tone*

"You're right but- *she suddenly grabbed my collar harshly and pulled towards her* Tf you nerd I knew that you were a stupid bitch do you think we're like you huh? To believe this crap???"

I looked down when she suddenly shouted

"Eyes on me Warren!"

I knew I'm fcked up when she pulled my collar towards her... I shut my eyes waiting for the thing to happen.

                                       .....

"Eh why are you wearing a hat Inside the house Warren???"

"Because it's hot mum"

"Yeah so take it off??"

"I will soon" I replied taking an ice bag.

"And what do you need for, young man???"

I shrugged my shoulder and replied..

"It's hot so my pillows are warm I feel like I'm putting my head on a heater"

"But-"

"Mum! Didn't you want to leave for your friend's birthday party????"

I said slowly dragging her out.

"But-"

"No buts! If you waste your time like this it will get dark before you reach there please don't worry about me I will take care of myself well I'm not a kid anymore"

My mum chuckled and said my head while patting

"Okay boi stop whining. The money is on the counter and eat healthy more okay?"

"I will mum!"

"That's my good son" *pats his back*

"Take care Warren.. mommy will be home soon"

"Yes mum! Drive safely"

She smiled and went away. I looked out of the door for a few mins watching her leave then immediately slammed the door shut and took my hat off.

"So hottt" *I mumbled*

I walked towards the bathroom and saw my reflection on the mirror revealing my black eye which I received from them.

I slowly took my shirt off and saw many cuts on my arms.

"Ah, they did it again huh..."

I quickly took my clothes off and went inside the shower.

"It's been a long day... But what's worse is it'll be the same tomorrow too."

I slid down in the shower wondering why I was one of those 'weak' kids.

I came out of the bathroom and moved towards the kitchen to get an ice pack. When a ding on my phone stopped me. Eh? Who might be texting at this time?

I checked the phone and saw my only friend, Alina Ross. I had many friends when I joined the school at the start but after I became the target of the bullying all my friends left me. Another ding of the notification took me out of my trance.

Aly:⁠-⁠)

:I can see you reading my texts! Why aren't you replying? Are you okay?

Me: Ah Yes I'm okayy :⁠-⁠D please dw about me!

Aly:⁠-⁠)

: I was searching for you after school but couldn't find you!! Did Riven beat you up again?

Me: Yeah about that I actually tried to go home early not only because of Riven but because my mum called me early too :⁠-⁠(

Aly:⁠-⁠)

: Oh no! Should I report her to the authorities for you?

Me: I tried that once... Had to walk around the school with a broken leg without any crutches as a punishment.

Aly:⁠-⁠)

: Ouch! I really wish I could help you in any way...

Me: I wish I could do something about it too Ally :⁠-⁠( I'm tired with the daily beatings. It hurts a lot..

Aly:⁠-⁠)

: Awh :⁠'⁠( you do not deserve this!

Me: Yeah.. I got no other option other than to tolerate it

Aly:⁠-⁠)

: Don't be sad lemme send you hw answers so you won't be punished tomorrow!

Me: WE GOT HOMEWORK????

Aly:⁠-⁠)

: Of course silly! I knew that you would forget that's why I completed mine first to send you the answers ^⁠_⁠^

Me: Thank you so much Alyyy!!! You're a total live savour :⁠-⁠D

Aly:⁠-⁠)

: No problem! See you tomorrow in class.

Me: Sure, see ya.

Aly:⁠-⁠)

.....................

It was the first period and I already wanted to jump out of the window 😭 idk what is this old guy yappin bout early in the morning!! It's only 8 Dude!!!!

"Now this question involves a bit of algebra. If you have an o.76mol per liter solution of HCL and add 25 ml of pure distilled water, what's the concentrate of H30+ and Cl- ions in the final solutions, given the equilibrium constant is 1.89x10^-5?? You also need to find the pH of the finding solution, deciding whether or not it's acidic or basic."

Everyone started solving down while I was still clueless not understanding anything!! 🥲

Suddenly the door opened with a bang flinching everyone in the room.

The teacher was pissed at first until she saw it was Riven. She immediately turned pretend as if nothing happened...

The whole class became silent trying not to look towards her, or she might beat them up too.

I did the same well, but luck wasn't on my side.

She started walking towards me and threw books on my face.

"You know what to do loser."

I hurriedly nodded my head, so I didn't get beat up.

She then glared at me and left the classroom.

Tbc 𐦍

*sighs with frustration* "Need some help?"

I looked up and saw Alina staring at me with sympathy

"Hey Aly how has your day been so far?" I asked trying to mask the tiredness

"My day was just fine but it seems you aren't having a very nice day" she said eyeing the work in my hands.

"Well what can I say.. At this point I'm kinda used to this"

"The audacity to just walk in classmate and throw books on people and order them to complete is just outrageous"

I stayed silent and stared at the ground silently agreeing with her. But what can I even do..?

"Let me help you!" she asked snatching the books from my hand

"what?? No! If the handwriting is mixed up Riven will beat me again!"

She suddenly stopped and stared at me intently making me nervous.

"uhm I'm saying this for you only.. I don't want you to go to the same phase I'm going"

"It's ok I understand" She said with a smile that didn't reach her eyes. She immediately stood up and left without saying a bye

*in mind* awh man is she angry at me? I just didn't want her to get hurt.. I'll apologize to her ofc only after completing Riven's work..

...*After 3 hours*...

Finally Riven's homework is over *stretches arms* uff kinda hurts. Well at least I won't get beat up as usual. I think I should give this to her. A dread filled in me when I realised that I have to find her and give her homework.

I got up and went to the remote area behind the school where Riven mostly smokes with her friends. When I reached there the strong odour of the ciggar filled my nose making me gag but I had to hold it in.

As expected Riven was with her friend group smoking and talking and when they saw me they all started laughing..

"Well well what a surprise! Guess who's here Mr. Freaky Nerd" Said Josh, one of the popular guys of the school.

"Hey little sh¡t here smoke this" said Diana, Riven's friend

"Uh n-no thank y-you I don't s-smoke" I replied and everyone laughed. I looked towards the ground in shame

"G-guys H-he's only i-intrested i-in studying" said someone from the group mocking me.. I clenched my fist

"I-im here to give this" passes the homework.

"Oh? Let me yo hold him down for me if I find any mistakes you're dead"

My eyes widened hearing her but I was also confident enough that the answers won't be wrong because I checked more than 4 times. 2 guys were behind me ready to pin me down in case I try to run away.

"Hmm Alright I see no mistake but my hands are really uncomfortable because I haven't raised my hand today on anyone"

The sec I felt the relief was washed away at the same time. No way.. Everyone sneered while looking at me while Riven was simply staring at me with bored eyes

"Whatcha all waiting for? Do whatever you want he's all yours."

Everyone approached me with bats and sticks they found from the ground and smirked at me.

.........

I limped on my way to my house.. It was painful ofc but I somehow came. In the way some students saw me but one even tried to help just pretend as if I'm an air. Invisible. Good thing my mom is not here or if she would know about this she would complain to the authorities but I know even the authorities won't do anything because Riven's father will buy them too. I don't want my mother to suffer more as I've seen her suffering as a single mother.

"Hahh it fcking hurts" *hiss* "Oh lord if only I had a way to stop all this"

I took my shirt off and saw all the wounds on my body...

*trace hands on the wound* "I wonder how long this will go on..." *mumbles*

I accidentally touched a freshed wound making me flinch "Ouch!! I should bandage this.."

After bandaging when I was scrolling I accidentally clicked a link. It was an adult website I wanted to exit but for some reason I just kept scrolling then I saw something which made my jaw drop.

It was an account managed by Riven. I was so lost not understanding whether I'm dreaming or not.

But also I was very curious about what SHE was doing here
