🥺Secret Affection🥺

Chapter 2

°°°°°°°°

Tears streamed down Jade's face as she gathered her belongings and fled the school.The humiliation and pain were too much to bear.She couldn't stay in a place where she was belittled and abused.

"Why can't I just die?"She whispered to herself.

How am I supposed to survive each day?

With each step,Jade felt her world crumbing around her.The weight of her struggles seemed too much to handle.

°°°°°°Jade Mansion.

Her eyes snapped opened,"tears dropped,I Jade vow to never again be disrespected.If anyone tries to mess with me,they won't like the way I treat them,the battle line is drawn",She whispered.

She wiped her tears,Let me start fresh,She started shaving her eyelashes into a perfect arcs,styling her hair into a shunning look,and pampering her nails with a meticulous manicure and pedicure.

Finally,she slipped into her joggers,ready to take on with a newfound sense of confidence.

She walked out of her room,her maid greeted her with a warm smile.She headed to her aunt's room.

She hugged her aunt tightly,grinning from ear to ear.

"You've changed,my dear",she said.You're looking more like my baby princess everyday.

She chuckled,"Aunt i'm sorry.I know I neglected my appearance and didn't listen to your advice.I thought no one cared."

Princess,Let me get you some beautiful dresses,I want to see you rock them.

She smiled,"Thank you aunt,I'm late for school."

°°°°Oxford College°°°

"Tori,Tessa,and Angelina approached Jade",they smirked.

"I guess you changed your looks,trying to impress who?" Tessa sneered

She laughed,"Trying to impress your dogs,of course."

"Help me with that,I'd rather die than impress you or your minions or should I say lap dogs" Jade replied.

"Now,if you don't mind excuse me I have better things to do",Jade said.

Tessa pushed Jade back,when we are talking don't ignore us...Are you mad,low life.

"If you dare touch me with those filthy hands I promise i'll make it hard for you in this college",Jade hissed.

"You called me low life",She laughed,I will feed your entire generation.

Don't cross me,Tessa,warn your dogs,Jade spat,shoving them away.

Jade walked away,Hardin approached her,

Hardin smirked,"he leaned in his chest almost touching Jade,their faces so close almost breathing the same air,you know Jade you are not as boring as I thought."

Jade raised an eyebrow,"what do you want Hardin?"

He grinned and walked away,leaving Jade to wonder what he was plotting next.

At the extreme of the class is Beck is tall and lean,with messy brown hair and piercing blue eyes.He has a strong Jawline and a small scar above his left eyebrow from a childhood accident,Becky is a quiet and introspective person who keeps to himself most times.

Beck stood by his locker,He and Hardin had a long history of clashed.He approached Jade who seemed lost in her own thoughts.

Hey Jade,ignore him,he's jealous of your brains and beauty.

Jade smirked,"Beauty...Not like you noticed me all this while in school",Anyways,Thank you.

Beck nodded and walked away.

cafeteria***

Beck stormed into the cafeteria,his gaze fixed on Hardin,"You think you're so clever,don't you,Hardin? Stay away from her,Stop getting on her nerves."

Hardin smiled,"since when did you care,the last time I checked,she always gets bullied in school and you don't care."

Beck face reddened,"Whatever,Just stay away from her,You're always doing this,Hardin.You think you're above everyone else,just because of your family's wealth and status."

Hardin scoffed,"You're so predictable,Beck.Always playing the hero,No one likes a goody goody like you."

Beck glared at Hardin,"Leave her alone,Hardin.She's not your play thing."

"Whatever,Your stay is over,f**k off,"He replied.

°°°°°°°

Jade snapped angrily,"What are you doing,Becky?I can fight my own battles,I don't need you to save me or whatever you're trying to do."

I'm just trying to help,Jade.You don't have to deal with Hardin or Tessa's crap alone.

Jade smiled,"For real...I have been in this college for over a year,facing everything alone....without any help from anyone in this school,everyone saw me as a prey,please that's exactly what i'm doing,and by constantly intervening,you're making me look weak again,....I don't want to be that kind of a girl again."

That's not what I meant,Jade,I just wanted to support you.He replied.

Jade's eyes narrowed,"Support me?or seek attention for yourself?Because it feels like the latter.You're always trying to play the hero,Beck,I don't need a hero,I can handle my own life."

The words stung,Beck's expression changed,"Fine,Jade ,Have it your own way."

I appreciate that,Beck.

She scoffed and walked away.
