Lia finally bit her steak and started chewing it. The grease from it spread on her l*ips and once again she heard a low growl. “I am under no obligation to tell it to you,” she said nonchalantly.
Arthur let out a deep laughter, making her feel all mushy-mushy, but she clenched her t*highs and continued to eat without looking at him.
Lunch became a torture and Lia felt like leaving this place as soon as possible else she was scared that she might end up k*issing one of the twins. Along with Shiloh, she exited the cafeteria before them. There was a little time left for the next class, so she sauntered off to the locker to lighten her bag. When she closed it, she was shocked to see Tabatha and Gwen rushing towards her. She started to move fast, but was surprised when she saw that they came to stand in front of her in a fraction of a second. This was humanly impossible.
“What do you want?” she asked, scared.
They grabbed her arms and dragged her to the toilet.
“What are you doing?” Lia shouted at them as she tried to pull out from their grasps, but she was in for a shock because both of them had very powerful grasps. It was as if she was fighting against wrestlers. “Leave me!” she said as dread rose in her c*hest.
Gwen pulled her into a toilet and Tabatha closed the door. Gwen shoved her so h*ard that Lia was thrown on the ground and skidded, hitting the opposite wall. “Ahhh!” she cried. She raised her eyes, rubbing her back and shoulders, fear cruising through her.
Gwen pulled her hair and yanked her head back. She leaned over and glared in her eyes. “How dare you try and grab the attention of the twins? Didn’t I warn you when you had come in the class earlier? You can’t go anywhere near them. Do you understand, you filthy human mutt?”
“I am not interested in your boyfriends!” Lia growled as she grabbed her wrist. The way Gwen had pulled them h*ard, she felt like they would come off her scalp. “You can shove them up your asses!”
“You b*itch!” Tabatha slapped her across her cheek. Lia shrieked with pain feeling like she was hit with a boulder.
“You dare to talk to us like that. We are going to cut you into pieces and make our dogs eat it.”
Tears rolled out of her eyes. She had seen many such bullies but never such strong ones.
“Understand that if we see you near Hawk or Arthur, we are going to make your life a living hell! You get that?” Gwen threatened, shaking her head by pulling her hair t*ighter.
Just then the door of the toilet opened and Shiloh entered. “Lia!” she screamed. “Leave her!” She rushed to her sister’s side and pushed Gwen away. “Don’t you ever do this to her again.”
Gwen’s eyes popped at Shiloh. “You are a bloody junior! You have the audacity to interfere, you bloody halfling!” Tabatha was about to lunge at her when Lia spread her l*eg out and Tabatha tripped over her. Her head hit the wall on the other side.
“Tabby!” Gwen breathed and rushed to her. There was a slight cut on her forehead.
Shiloh pulled Lia up and the two exited the bathroom before Gwen could come after them. “I am so sorry!” Shiloh said. She ran with Lia to the infirmary. Her l*ip was swollen and split. Her hair was a mess and there was a blood stain on her shoulder. “These two are just getting out of control. We must complain about this behavior. No one is allowed to hit a human!”
Lia jerked her head back amongst all the pain. “What do you mean by saying that no one is allowed to hit a human?”
Shiloh pursed her l*ips for the slip of her t*ongue. “I mean we aren’t allowed to hit anyone. It’s ill*egal!”
Lia rolled her eyes. “Apparently, Gwen and Tabatha are above the law!”
“Who did this to you?” the nurse asked. She took Lia’s h*and and pulled her inside the room. “Goddess! This looks bad.” She had terror written all over her face.” She sat Lia on a chair and rushed to fetch cotton and an antiseptic lotion. “You should report it to the principal.”
Lia didn’t want any more trouble. All she ever wanted was to graduate from her high school and get out of here as soon as possible. “It’s fine. I am used to bullies,” she replied, but it was painful to talk now. Her l*ips had swollen and there was a cut on the side. She winced when she moved her l*ips.
The nurse gave her a sympathetic look. “This school doesn’t appreciate nor encourage bullying. The owners are very strict about it.”
“So what?” Shiloh growled. “Still bullying takes place in its own way and many students are scared to report it.” The nurse turned her face over her shoulder. “Is it?” she asked with a frown. “That is very bad. I think I have to talk to Amy about it.”
“No please!” Lia replied instantly and winced. “It is fine.”
Shiloh gritted her teeth. She sat beside Lia and grabbed her h*and, her eyes misty with tears. “I am so sorry, Lia. But I told you to stay away from the twins. Those two girls are very possessive about them. And I am sure that because the twins like them, they don’t say a word to their girlfriends.” A tear rolled out when she saw the f*ingerprints of the slap on her soft cheeks.
The nurse had come by then and she applied the lotion on her l*ips. She h*anded her an ice bag. “This will help you subside the swelling.”
Lia placed the bag on her l*ips and closed her eyes. It helped reduce the sting. “This will take a while to go…” she muttered under her breath. And at that time, she was sure that everyone would see how badly she was hit. “Do you have makeup with you?”
“Shh… Don’t talk,” Shiloh murmured. “I have makeup and I will help you conceal it. For now focus on reducing that swelling.” She squeezed Lia’s h*and.
Lia chuckled through her pain. “Stop worrying so much about me. I am not used to it.”
Shiloh’s t*hroat choked with emotions. She curled her arms around her sister. “Then get used to it. I won’t leave you and you can’t get rid of me.”
Lia shook her head and smiled, tousling her little sister’s hair. She knew that the swelling would take a long to subside. She kept the ice bag on her l*ips for an hour and missed a class. She didn’t want to appear all beaten up in front of others. She asked Shiloh to attend her next class, but Shiloh didn’t budge from there.
Once the swelling reduced to a great extent, Lia got up. “I think I can manage it now.”
The nurse gave her an appreciative look. “Lia, you must go and talk about this to the principal. Someone has to stand up for justice.”
“Not Lia!” Shiloh snapped, her eyes showing fear. She grabbed her sister’s h*and. “Thank you, Nurse Nancy.” She tugged her sister out of the room. When they were out of her earshot, she said, “Don’t go to the principal. If she comes after Gwen and Tabatha, then the twins will know and it would be pure chaos.”
“I am not going anywhere, Shiloh,” Lia chuckled. “Now stop worrying so much about me.”
