Chapter 2 Two

Lily walked through high school this year was a new start a new year ahead her and Aaron were best friends despite being around Joshua and his cronies. She had high hopes, that this year would be different she'd feared every day going into school and being bullied by these guys what had she ever done to deserve this?

She walked through the corridors it was so quiet today, unlike any other day. Colton nudged Joshua he liked the duo and smiled evilly. Great another year of hare and insults. 'Hey look who it isn't Lily James your early sweetheart.'

She swallowed ignoring them as she passed but she wasn't quick enough her back slammed against the lockers she cringed why couldn't they just leave her alone and pry on someone else?

His green eyes were slanted and unrevealing. 'Why are you here so early Lilly?'

She stared at him. 'I asked you a question the least you can do is answer it. So I'll ask you again why are you here so early?'

'I'm not early you are.' She swallowed

He grinned evilly the tips of his fingers trailing down her face the grin had turned into a smile now and it scared her even more. 'I am never early Lily. You should know that better than anyone.'

'Y..y..you are.' She stuttered.

His hand went around her neck squeezing it. 'You dare to question me?'

N..n..no.'

He smiled his grip tightening. 'Your mine Lilly James to do what I please with are we clear.

She stared at him.

Are we clear?' He asked angrily.'

She snuck her head.

'Words Lilly.'

'Yes.'

He smiled getting closer. 'Open your mouth.'

She stared at him.

'Now Lilly.' She inched it open.

'Wider.'

She edged it a little more. He grabbed her mouth pushing it open with the tip of his finger and thumb. He dived forward his tongue going into her mouth and sliding it around.

The bell rang.

He moved away. 'Lunch Lilly.' He turned walking away.

She felt sick she'd been on the brunt of his bullying since year seven and it gradually was getting worse. She'd come home with bruises and cuts ones she couldn't explain. Her parents had informed the school but she had refused to tell anyone who had inflicted them she'd been hospitalised several times yet she had stated her silence.

She entered registration and sat down he smiled. She returned his smile awkwardly. 'Are you okay Lilly?'

'I'm fine Arron.'

'Is Josh threatening you again cause if he is I can..'

'No, it s fine really.

Arron had been the only one that she had confided in but yet he had chosen these assholes as his friends. And I matter what he had said to them they had chosen not to listen.

I hated Monday but every other day was the same it had been like this for four years and nothing was going to change that. I'd been avoiding running it Josh and his cronies all morning most of my lessons had been with Arron till lunch I was hoping to do lunch alone but Arron had invited himself along. I didn't want the company today I just wanted time alone to get away from it all but that wasn't going to happen not today he and Joshua had made eye contact I had chosen to ignore it as I delved into my sandwich. They slipped onto the in-occupied chairs by us Joshua had deliberately sat next to me. I swallowed as he gazed at me. 'What you got nice to eat today Lily?'

I chose to ignore him so he peered into my lunch box to browse over its contents. 'What's on the sandwich?'

I cut my eyes.

'Leave her Josh leave her to eat.' Arron said.

He pushed his hand into my lunch box taking the sandwich.

'Hey, that's mine.' I blurted out.'

'Well, now it's mine.' He said taking a bite out of it. 'Mmh this is good.' He said continuing to eat it 'I looked disgusted at him.

'Haven't you got your lunch?'

'I have but I like yours better.'

I scowled at him and took my chocolate bar out before I could even finish it he took them to stuff them into his mouth. 'Do you want all my goddamn lunch ?' I asked angrily.

'you need to pack more

'Why so you can eat it?'

'Exactly.'

I closed the box and put it into my bag drinking my juice as I felt a hand on my knee. I looked at him and he winked fucking winked. His hand gliding further up to my thigh I suddenly shot up making he hadn't fallen off my thigh they all looked at my sudden moment. 'I have to go.'

'Where are you going lunch isn't over yet.'

'Oh, I erm forget I had something to do.'

'Wait I'll come with you.'

'Stay with your friends Arron I'll see you later.'

He smiled and I rushed off.

I went into the lady's then to my locker putting my bag in it and getting my books out ready for the afternoon classes. I closed my locker he spread his hand over it. 'Why did you up and leave like that Lily?'

'I. I news to be somewhere.' I stuttered.

His green eyes stared straight through me.

'You do not leave unless I permit you to.'

'You don't own me, Josh.'

'Oh, you think you'll find I do.' He got closer. 'Tomorrow you shall make me my lunch.'

'And if I say no.'

'Then to consequences for you will be grim.'

I looked nervously at him.

'You do lunch with us every day and if you don't join us I will find you and punish you are we clear?'

I nodded my mouth dry I could feel my entire body shaking.

He smiled slapping my face. 'Good girl.' He kissed my cheek.

'There you are Josh you shot off we were wondering where you were.'

'I had to see a man about a dog.' He laughed winking at me. 'Then I bumped into Lily seems she didn't have to go any after all did you, Lil?'

I shook my head.

'Come on we need a fag lunch will be over soon.'

I was so glad when school was over, I walked out alone but not for long Arron had joined me. 'So what did josh say to you?'

'Nothing.' I lied.

'Come on Lil I know him he's been aiming at you since we began high school and it's not changing it's going to get worse before it gets better Lil you can tell me what he said to you you can trust me.'

I opened my mouth.

'There you are Az why were you leaving without us?'

'I thought you'd gone.'

Joshua laughed. 'The teach kept up behind again, the guy needs to get his end away.'

He was talking about Mr MoreStowe the geography teacher he'd had it in for Joshua and his friends since day one and most of us had caught the brunt of it during that time when we shared classes. Seems like he hasn't changed he was still gunning for them after four years of having the pleasure of them in his class.

'Lil I thought you would be halfway home by now.'

'She would've been if I hadn't caught her up.'

Joshua grinned evilly.

We continued walking away from the school heading home everyone saying their goodbyes.

'I'll meet you tomorrow, okay we'll walk to school together.'

I smiled and nodded I'd rather walk with him than have to face Joshua.
