Chapter 4 When the bond blossoms

Chapter 4

Suzy entered the gate her face facing down as she had worn a turtle neck pullover to cover up all the scars on her body. She was fully cloth exposing no part of her body but her face.

As soon as she entered she heard a very loud bang. On turning she was faced with the very brown eyes which had occupied her mind for the passed week. However the look this time was fierce. His eyes carried a dangerous glare as his nostrils flared up, his jaw clenched and his breath faster than normal.

Suzy had this urge to go ask him what the issue was but everyone was focused on him as whispers could be heard all around.

" Who is this new security who wears masks all the time and why is he is angry."

" Ouuuu look over there girl the new guard is well built, he's so hot take a look at his briad shoulders", " I know right, what can his face look like he must be very handsome ". Some girls chatted as they looked towards his direction.

As soon as Suzy heard this she suddenly became annoyed ,rushed to her class and settled at the front as usual

" Urrgghh why am I getting annoyed over something like this. He is nothing to me. Calm down Suzy." She said to herself.

Suzy sat in class but couldn't concentrate as her mind kept going back to the incident over the week.

" Suzzzzyyyy!!!!!!! " Mrs Anthony called from the living room.

*Coughs* Suzy who went down to drink some water choked and began coughing as she was startled by the sudden shout of her name." Yes mum I'll be right there" she said as she rushed down to the living room

" I I here am I " she said as she stammered.

*Glares at her from head to toe*

" You know your wedding is coming up right? I just want to tell you to prepare your mind because you will have to attend some meetings so better behave yourself" her mum said.

" But but must I marry this person? Can't I just be a normal kid ? I have my dreams too". Suzy said as her head hung down and her voice very low tears hanging in her eyes.

" What did you say? Can you just repeat what you said?" Mrs Anthony said as she put her wine glass down standing up.

" I said can you repeat it?"* Slaps her as she falls to the ground*

"Ahhh" Suzy struggles to scream but her voice comes out very low as she lacks strength.

" You are going to marry Patrick and I don't care whatever dreams you are talking about. Do you think I would let you pursue your miserable dreams and go down the socialite class? What will my friends say about me? I can see enrolling you into a physical school was a bad idea" Mrs Anthony screamed as she continuously slaps Suzy gripping her very hard with her sharp artificial nails"

" Mum I'm sorry * coughs* I'm sorry please let me go" Suzy says as she crawls on the floor struggling to escape.

* Kicks* get up from there she pulls her up without much effort as she was underfed.

" You won't go to school till next Monday. I can see you are developing horns " she said as she spilled the remaining wine in her hand on Suzy.

" Hey Miss Suzy is everything ok? Why are you crying?" Mr Caleb Suzy's

Teacher asked breaking her off her thoughts .

" Oh sorry Sir I'm ok, you don't have to bother, I just thought of something which makes me emotional ."

They class continued without any problem and so did the day. For some reason reason Suzy was excited to meet Carl again after a long time.

She packed up her stuff from the class room as a headed for the garden. She still felt pain in some areas of her body from the incident with her mum.

Reaching the school garden Suzy noticed Carl was there before her.this strong urge to go sit beside him on the swing filled Suzy but she refused to give in as she sat not very far from him setting out her drawing materials.

" It's been more than 10 minutes since I came here why does it seem he doesn't have my time? Or is he angry about the other day. Oh maybe he hasn't noticed my presence yet . Let me let out a cough so he knows he is not here alone" Suzy thought you herself .

Just as she was about coughing she felt a presence behind her.

"Can I sit please" he asked hovering over her which made her feel a sense of comfort and protection.

"Ummm yes you you" she said without looking up at him.

" Thank you pretty" he said as he sat down noticing Suzy blushing at the name he just called her

" I can see you love the name. But can you tell me your name? I told you mine but you didn't " Carl said looking at Suzy straight in the face.

" My name is Suzy Kilian" she said biting her pencil .

" Ouuuu such a beautiful name for the pretty princess you are. " He said staring at what she was drawing.

" I can see you were drawing some lilies today and come to think of it Suzy means Lily they must be your favorite kind of flowers"

" Yes they are " Suzy said as she engraved her name beside the drawing .

" So can I keep this drawing of yours so that anytime I stare at it I'll think of it. You know you are as pure as the lily signifies." He said causing Suzy to smile

" You have a very beautiful smile you know" he said looking at suzy straight in the eyes.

Carl tool Suzy's hand in his and whispered " I love it when you smile but I love it more when I'm the reason behind the smile."

"So do you accept to be my friend?" Carl said looking at Suzy with puppy eyes .

" Ummm I've never had a friend before" Suzy said fidgeting with her fingers as she lowered her head.

" Oh that shouldn't be a problem ok, I'll handle that and I promise to make the best friend ever okay?"

"Okayyy" Suzy answered in a low voice.

" So tell me about you, I want to know everything about my new best friend." Carl demanded

" There's nothing interesting about me you know."

" Go on tell me the nothing "

"I'm just that girl who has been home schooled all her life. This year is actually my first being on a physical class. And I found it very difficult to adapt." Suzy said

" Okay and what are you studying what will you like to be when you graduate" he questioned further taking her hand in his and drawing slow circles on it causing Suzy to shake slightly as a sudden rush of nervous excitement made her heartbeat race.

" Ummm I'll like to be a designer. Design bags and shoes and probably own my own company some day." Suzy said as she felt good within her to finally get to share her dreams with someone

" Okay I can see why you spend most of your time drawing. It must be a talent and passion of yours".

"Yes it is". Suzy said looking at their intertwined hands as she let out a small smile.

* Why does my stomach feeling like butterflies are running in it* she thought to herself.

" Do you have any siblings" Carl asked

" Yes I do have a Sibling his name is Bob he graduated from college already " Suzy said as Carl noticed the slight change in her mood when he asked the question.

"Oh ok you are the only girl and last to your parents then. How old are you my pretty princess ". Carl asked looking at her.

" I'm 19 will be turning 20 on the 15th of December". Suzy replied

"Oh that's not far from now. It's been noted princess happy birthday in advance I'm the first right" Carl said causing Suzy to let out a laugh.

"Yes you are"

" You look so beautiful when you smile. Please smile more often".

Carl took Suzy's hand once more as he rubbed it not saying anything. They sat there in a comfortable silence but it was short-lived as Carl broke it with his question.

" Who did this to you?" Suzy immediately pulled her hand from Carl shifting from him.

" What are you talking about" Suzy feigned innocence.

" Suzy I said who did this to you?" Carl said closing the distance as he took her hand back looking at her straight in the eyes.
