Chapter 3

*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
