Innocent love of a bad boy

SHE WILL BE FINE

Gwen’s P.O.V.

I was angry. I was hell angry. I was hell angry with myself. I was so happy when I got the mail that I had won the state-level mathematics competition. I was so happy and was celebrating my win with my best friend Tori. We both were dancing and screaming when my eyes met with Neil. I realized that I had gained the attention of the whole canteen.

I sat down quietly but still, we were hell happy. Then, I got mad….. yeah… I was struck by a bolt of individual lightning that fused every circuit of my mind. I heard Tyler roaring on Grace. Tori and I were about to leave our spot when I heard Tyler roaring on Grace, the b***h w***e of the school and of course, the captain of the cheerleaders…. My a**….

“Do not ever try your tactics on me, Grace. I am not your play toy and I never will be”, he roared on Grace and she was trembling hard. It seemed that Tyler was going to murder her any soon. Neil put his hand on Tyler’s shoulder.

Then, I did the stupidest thing of my life. I called Tyler. “Hey…. Tyler…. Do you still want the calculus notebook?” I mentally slapped myself. Everyone snapped their head to me in shock. I hate attention and guess what…. I attracted everyone presented in the canteen at that time. Tori dropped her jaw on the floor and were looking at me with wide-open eyes. Tyler gave me a confused look. I gave him a you-asked-me-so look. His expressions changed suddenly and he said to me, “O yeah…yeah... do you have any free period today?” he looked at Neil and then again on me and asked me gently.

Everyone was silent and was looking between me and Tyler. O, God…. Why did I do this? Why did I call trouble all by myself? Tori was still in shock and I had no courage to look at her. What was I doing that I was pretending cool in front of everyone?

“Yeah.. actually I am going to the library. If you are free then you can come with me”, I proposed and he passed a smile. O, God….. I want to bang my head on any wall....

“How sweet of you, Gwen. I really owe you”, Tyler made a puppy look and I really wanted to rip his head off now. Grace was looking at me like a predator who was about to jump on his prey. Her whole gang was staring at me hard.

I simply nodded my head and grabbed Tori’s hand. We both started walking towards the door. I held my head high like how brave I was. Brave my......... On the other hand, Tori was still looking at me in shock written all over her face. I wanted to get out of the canteen as soon as possible.

As soon as, we get out of the canteen, I lowered down my shoulders and blew a breath that I was holding for long. Tyler looked at me amusingly and I glared at him. We were still walking. I didn’t want anyone to notice the sudden change in our behaviour.

As soon as we reached a deserted corridor, Tyler burst into the laughter and I couldn’t able to hold myself anymore. I slapped his arm hard and winced in pain while jerking my wrist. Why he had had so many muscles?

“Ouch…what was this for?” he yelled but soon started laughing while looking at me and Tori.

“Can you please tell me why did I put myself in grave danger?” I asked Tyler in a very flat tone while blinking hard.

“Because… you are kind and wanted to save Grace…. From my anger?” his answer was more like a question. I widened my eyes in surprise.

“Me???? wanted to save Grace?????”, I questioned him while pointing at me.  He nodded in confusion while raising his brows in question and looked at Tori.

I burst out in laughter. I got mad. Seriously… I needed a brain-check like right now….

“You know What Mr Tyler Williams…. It was my mistake that I poked my nose in your business. You are nothing but trouble… So… please … we should stay out of each other’s way. I just wanted to pass this year peacefully and then get the hell out of this place”, I said to him in a flat tone and he looked at me questioningly.

“Let’s forget this day. I don’t want any more trouble for myself”, I said him in a defeated tone and lowered my head.

“Don’t play the victim with me, Ms Gwen Rosemary. I didn’t ask you to help me as I don’t need your help. For me, you are nothing more than just a random girl in the school. You may be intelligent or sort of that stuff but… not the girl who can have my attention”, he was stepping towards me at every word in a dangerous way. I was stepping back in fear due to the tempo of his anger.

Suddenly, I hit the grill and lost my balance. Though, I was of short height but…. I just felt myself flipping back in the air and when I realized what had just happened, I was hanging in the air and Tyler had gripped my hand tightly. I heard screaming my name and looked down instantly. My eyes widened in fear. We were on the third floor and now I was in the air 3 floors high.

“Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh”, I screamed aloud and started throwing my hands and legs for grabbing something to save my life.

“Don’t move, Gwen…. You are slipping”, Tyler shouted at once and I looked up instantly. I saw fear in his eyes. Tori was standing beside him and was shivering hard. My heart was pounding in my chest. O, My God…. I am going to die…. I am going to die….

“I am going to die…. I am going to die”, I started screaming again while shutting my eyes tight.

“Just don’t move, Gwen… I will pull you up.. just trust me…. okay?” Tyler said to me while holding my hand tightly. I felt his grip losing on my hand. Still, I want to trust him.. So I just nodded my head. He immediately held my hand by both of his hands and starting pulling me up.

As soon as, I came in reach of his both hand, he immediately grabbed my other hands to and pulled me instantly. As soon as I hit his chest, I immediately snaked my hands around his neck and hid my face into his chest and wrapped my legs around his west. I was shivering hard due to fear. I just escaped my death… just because of him…. He held me tightly. His heart was beating so hard.

“You are safe, Gwen. You are safe”, he whispered to me and I instantly wanted to believe him.

“Gwen”, I heard a weak and trembling voice of Tori. I looked at her. She had tears in her eyes. Tyler put me down and I instantly hugged Tori and she hugged me back. We both started crying.

After some times, I pulled away from Tori and looked at Tyler. “See???? what did I say to you????… you are nothing but trouble…. It was the first time, we had an interaction sort of … and I was just ….”, I choked on my voice.

“From now on, I will try my best Mr Tyler Williams not to cross your path ever”, I said to him with a trembling voice while looking straight into your eyes. Tears were flowing down on my cheeks and I didn’t care anything now.

Then I ran from there leaving behind him. Tori called me and started running behind me. I just wanted to leave this place as soon as possible. I vowed to myself that I would never cross any popular guy’s path ever. They were nothing but trouble.

I heard some more footsteps behind me in the corridor but I didn’t f**king care anything now.

Tyler’s P.O.V.

First time in my life, I was scared. I was scared like hell. I was angry at her and forgot that we were standing near the grill in the corridor. I could stop her from stepping back but I didn’t. I just threatened her and poured all my anger on her.

Then I saw her flipping in the air, instantly I ran to catch her but she fell and I somehow managed to grab one of her wrists. Her friend screamed in fear that made me more scared. My palms started sweating and I felt my grip losing on her wrist. She started screaming and thrashing her legs in air that made more difficult for me to pull her up.

I didn’t what had happened but I felt her in my arms, shivering hard in fear. I held her tight in my embrace as if she would fall down again if I loosen my grip on her.

After that everything that she said pierced my heart with thousands of needle. It was true… It was our first interaction throughout the school and she was about to lose her life. I had anger issues and she had to pay for my anger by her life.

She ran away from me. I wanted to stop her. I wanted to apologize to her. But, I just couldn’t…. I was glued on my spot.

“What happened Ty?” I heard Neil’s voice and looked at him. He was running towards me with Tim and Tony. He understood that they had seen Gwen hanging in the air.

“I…. I….”, I didn’t know what to tell them. He put his hand on my shoulder and I lowered down my head defeated.

“Relax… she will be fine…”, he tried to ensure me and I scoffed. Yeah… she would be fine… but… would I????
