Chapter 7 Finally. I got your attention.

"Jeremy, please stand up." The principal ordered. I placed the head phone around my neck and stood up. "This is Kyla's mum and it was reported that you deliberately hurt her daughter Kyla. Is this true?" He asked.

"Why are you asking him that? I'm telling you, he was the one that was responsible for hurting my child." Kyla's mum argued. Violet scoffed.

"Ma'am we strictly follow some rules here so you have to be patient." The principal said. "Go on Jeremy." He said.

"I didn't hurt Kyla. I had been in the class all through today. I never left. I haven't even seen her today." I lied and my chest hurts. Why?

"How can that be possible? Mr principal ask the students." Kyla's mum said.

"Ok, students, is it true that Jeremy had been in class throughout the day?" He asked.

"Yes sir." They all eched. A smile crept on my lips but it was immediately accompanied by a skip of heart beat. What is happening to me.

"So ma'am, he's innocent. There's no way the whole class would agree to a lie. And besides, Jeremy is one of our well-behaved student in this school, so there's no way he could have done something that horrible. I think what happened to your daughter was just an accident. And I assure you that the school will take care of her treatment." He said. "You can have your seat now Jeremy." I sat down comfortably. But was deeply troubled. They all walked out.

"That went well." Crystal said and heaved a sigh of relief.

"Yeah, she thinks she can actually implicate us." Violet said with a smirk.

"Are you guys satisfied now? You actually made an innocent girl shed tears and hurt her legs." Brian said.

"Well, if her parents are wealthy enough to bring her to a school as expensive as this, then I'm sure a crutch wouldn't be that expensive for them to buy, right?" Violet said and smiled.

"Gosh girl, you're on fire." Crystal said and gave her an high five and they laughed. I felt bad, really bad.

"Baby, come set me on fire." Mitchell said to Crystal.

"Yes baby." Crystal said and stood up from her seat and came to Mitchell. She sat on his thigh, straddling him and they kissed passionately.

"Oh God, I'm gonna puke." Brian said bowed his head on his desk and Violet laughed as they both engage in their romance. Crystal was unzipping his tracksuit.

"Hey, get a room." I yelled and Mitchell poked out his middle finger at me.

"You are all corrupt." Brian muttered.

If only Crystal knew that Mitch was cheating on her, it would have been hell instead of romance. I wore my head phone and started operating my phone. A teacher came in and they quickly disengaged.

KYLA'S P.O.V

Mum took me home after I was treated. My leg was bandaged.

"You're not going back to that school." She said.

"What?" I asked.

"You heard me right. It seems you'll always get hurt there. When your dad comes from England, I'll talk to him about it." She said.

"But there are still bullies in other schools.. Mum I know you don't want me to get hurt and I know you want the best for me.. But I can handle everything. I grew up in the orphanage were there are different kinds of kids and I was able to cope with all of them. I'm sure I'll sail through this one. It's my last year in high school anyways." I said.

"But you don't have to." She said and I sighed.

"Ok, mum, let's do it this way, I'll continue to attend the school but if something bad happens again then I would agree for you to transfer me to another school." I said

"Promise?" She asked.

"I promise." I said.

"Ok dear, I'll do what you want this time. Let me tell the maid to get you some snacks. Get some rest, I'll be going back to the office, ok?" She said and stood up.

"Ok mum." I said and she left my room. I sighed. I really don't know why I want to go back but something seems right.

Jeremy. What? No way, it can't be him.

JEREMY'S P.O.V

It's been a week and I haven't seen Kyla in school. I wonder what happened. Had she been transferred to another school? I always wait at the parking lot in my car to see if she would come to school but sadly, did I say sadly? Anyways, only her little sister comes down from the car. I always get disappointed. What happened to her?

During lunch break, I snuck out from the midst of my friends and went to the elementary school. The kids were in the playground. I searched for her and saw her at the sea-saw with her friends. I looked around and saw no high school student, so I walked to her.

"Hello Daisy." I said. She looked at me and looked away. She continued going up and down with her friend on the sea-saw. "Can I ask you something?" I asked. She looked at me.

"No. Leave me alone. You're a bad person." She said and I was amazed by her fluent English. Obviously she had attended a good school, or so I thought.

"Please, it won't take long." I said beseechingly. She got down from the sea-saw.

"Let's get out of here before he hurts us too." She said to her friends and they all ran away. Gosh, she is so silly, just like a sister. I went back to my friends sadly. I really want to know what happened to Kyla.

~~~~

The next day I bought a doll to give to Daisy, maybe she'll agree to talk to me. I waited impatiently till it was lunch break. Without telling my friends, I went to the elementary school. I approached her.

"Hello Daisy." I said.

"You again?" she asked.

"Please, don't run away. I have something for you." I said and gave her the pink bag. She reluctantly took it and opened it. She brought out the doll. "Do you like it?" I asked with a smile. She hissed and walked to the mini bridge and threw everything into the water. What the f***?

"Leave me alone. I don't like you. And my mummy bought me so me so many dolls." She said and left. Jeez, if this is how girls behave, then I'm never asking a girl out. It's like I'm literally asking Daisy out. Lol. I need to quench my curiosity. I need to know how that girl is doing.

KYLA'S P.O.V

I was in my room with Grace. Good news, she's already living with her foster parents. She actually came to visit me. But sadly, she would be attending another school. Daisy came in with her school bag, I'm sure it's about her homework. She brought out her workbook and gave it to me.

"How was school today?" I asked.

"School was fine." She said and seemed to remember something. "That guy that hurt you came to me." She said.

"Jeremy?" I asked in surprise. I looked at Grace and back at Daisy. "What did he want from you?" I asked curiously.

"He said he wanted to talk to me about something." She said.

"About what?" I asked curiously.
