Chapter 10:
Grace Evans/ John Evans.
"Ow, Ah. . . Hey, Easy!" I winced in pain as the nurse was treating my wounds and lip cut. Honestly, It stings like a b***h. I have good news and bad news. The bad news is that the bruises on my body and face are pretty terrible but. . . the good news is that I was able to save my shoulder. No bone in my body is fractured. I think I was able to break that dickhead's nose.
My eyes shifted to my right side and I saw Isabella sitting on the chair beside my bed. She had her head in her hands and was sobbing lightly. I tried to call her multiple times but she is just sitting there without replying or looking at me. As the nurse was done with my bruises I told her to treat Isabella's. She had a bruise on her cheek because of the punch she took for me. The nurse nodded and went to get an ice pack for Isabella.
"Isabella. . . stop crying. Talk to me." I called her in a stern tone.
"You don't know what you did. . . you don't know who you messed up with John! He will not leave you unharmed. Why did you do it?!" Isabella whispered, yelled at me and then started sobbing again.
"I know what I did. I stood up for my friend and beat the s**t out of the guy who was hurting her and about him hurting me? I'm not scared Isabella and you should not be too. Everything is fine." I tried to calm her nerves but she shook her head in a negative direction aggressively.
"You don't know Tyson Matthew. I don't want to scare you but what you did back there. . . you directly called death upon yourself John!" Isabella said in frustration.
"Alright, calm down. Treat your wounds first and then we'll leave from here. We'll have a chat later, right now these bruises are killing me. I want to relax for a while." I told her and yawned.
She was stunned listening to me. "How can you be so relaxed John?! You probably must be expelled out at this moment." Isabella exclaimed and I chuckled.
"First, I don't mind being expelled from this school. I consider this as a blessing, to be honest, but I'm not a sore loser. I will not leave this school without a fair fight. So dear Isabella, I'm not going anywhere from here unless I want to and at this time I don't want to so nobody. . . and I mean nobody can kick me out of here." I said with a grin plastered on my face and Isabella looked at me with a horrified expression.
She put her hands in her hair and almost pulled them from her scalp in frustration. The nurse came back with the ice pack and looked at Isabella with a concerning look.

"Come back for a check-up later John, for now, you can leave." Said the nurse and I nodded. The painkillers helped me a lot with the pain. I was feeling better and energetic again.
"Thanks, Nonna," I said and winked at her. She blushed lightly and passed me a smile. At the same moment, Isabella came in. She looked all tense and dishevelled. Nonna left the room, leaving us both alone.
"Get up, you need to leave the school this instant." Said Isabella and made me get up from the bed.
"Isabella, what's wrong? What's happening?" I asked her.
"I'm getting you out of this school. Just go away from here and never come back alright? I need you to be safe. I can't let you get hurt because of me." Isabella panicked.
"Calm the f**k down Isabella, nobody can hurt me. Stop being so scared." I grabbed her by her shoulders to get some sense into her.
"We're leaving the infirmary and going to a quiet place where you're going to tell me everything from scratch. Alright?" I bent down a little to get to her level. I made her look at me and told her to trust me.
"There are so many students outside waiting for you to come outside. Unfortunately, no one is in your favour as they are scared of. . . them. The faculty of the school is not involved in this case. The boys have decided to handle this case. . . which is the worst thing ever. They will not let you go easily, John!" Isabella said the same thing for the hundredth time.
"The video of you both fighting has gone viral. Chaos has formed in this school because of it. Nobody and I say it to you again. . . nobody has ever dared to fight with Tyson. . . or any of them. No one can think of doing what you did John!" Isabella sighed in frustration.
"Cool. . ." I said and passed her a wide smile. That's what I expected from myself.
"You're not taking this s**t seriously John!" Isabella yelled at me.
"Woah! A swear coming out of Isabella's sweet mouth. That's rare!" I said and bit my fist.
"Alright, I'll listen to you. Let's get out of here first. You have a lot to tell me." I said and grabbed her hand. Without caring about anything I left the infirmary and to my expectations a lot of students were standing there, some looking at me with sympathy and some were shooting daggers with their eyes.
"He's a dead meat. . ."
"Why did he have to do that? He's so handsome and charming. It's a shame that he won't last here for long."
"Yo, Tyson will beat the s**t out of him again."
"He doesn't know what's coming for him."
"Didn't no one warn him about the boy's group?"
"Don't go to him. Damon ordered us to stay away from this matter. He said he'll personally handle this." I heard these several remarks as I was leaving with Isabella hand in hand. Isabella was looking down all the way.
"Did the fight happen because of Isabella?"
"They are seriously dating? I thought it was just a rumour."
"Real drama is about to happen, dude, Tyson will not let this go." The remarks didn't stop until we passed the school's hallway. I was thinking of taking Isabella to the studio where I was staying.
We left the main door and came face to face with the dickhead aka Tyson. He was standing with some other dudes. He blocked us from leaving.
"Leaving so soon? Fuckface?" He asked and I clenched my teeth.
"Want me to beat the s**t out of you again?" I asked and stood in front of Isabella.
"Tyson please let us go. . ." Isabella whispered.
"Shut up! You have already made trouble for me. Because of you, I can't penalize this motherfucker myself. I have to wait for Damon's statement. All because of you, you good for nothing, Isabella!" Said Tyson and my blood boiled. How dare he treat her like this? What has she done to him?
I was about to go and put some sense in his tiny brain but before I could take action, Isabella came Infront and stopped me. Tyson grins at me. This guy will not let us leave easily.
Suddenly heavy footsteps could be heard from behind. Isabella and I looked behind. It was the t***s group leader Damon Jax. Besides him stand Caleb McCannon and Noah Strafford. All three of them were glaring at me. Their eyes softened as they saw Isabella.
"What is happening here, Tyson?" Asked Noah.
"Something new and exciting, Strafford." Said Tyson and laughed like a maniac that he is. I saw Caleb looking at Isabella with sympathy in his eyes. I could see that he wanted to come and console her but something was restricting him. His eyes turned to me and the hard guy's composure came back. Damon put his hands in his pants pockets and looked at me with his hawking eyes.
"Didn't Damon tell you to wait, Tyson?" Said Caleb. It was only us in the garden. No student came out of the school building.
"What the f**k is wrong with you all? You don't need to become soft because of her." Said Tyson while pointing at Isabella. He looked livid.
"This is not us. We don't let go of our adversaries. We show them their places, we demolish them so that it becomes a good example for others to not f**k with us." Said Tyson and I scoffed.
"This motherfucker has humiliated me in front of the whole school. Everyone is laughing at me because of him. He has ruined my reputation and do you think I will let him go like this? I will shatter him in front of the whole school!" Tyson cried like a baby. When will his speech end?
I yawned and waited for him to finish. "Can you hurry up? I need to go back and rest. I don't have all day to listen to your revenge speech." I said and there was a pin drop silence.
"John! Please be quiet." Isabella panicked.
"Enough Tyson." I heard a velvety voice. It was Damon's voice and it holds authority.
"Let them go. I'll give an assertion about this tomorrow." Damon said and I smirked at Tyson. I knew that Damon would be a pass check for me.
"Damon, do you have any idea what you're saying? You're letting him go just like this? After what he has done to me." Said Tyson while pointing at himself. Why is he behaving like a girl who's on her period?
"I know what I'm doing Tyson and I'm telling you the last time to let them go," Damon said and Tyson's jaw clenched. Tyson glared at me and Isabella and how I could miss the chance to pass a smirk at him.
Damon and the other guys turned their heels and went back inside leaving a frustrated Tyson.
I grabbed Isabella's hand and stopped in front of Tyson. "See you tomorrow bud," I said and grinned at him. Tyson's jaw and fist clenched but I knew this time he would not be able to do anything. He got restricted by his group members. One thing that I figured out is that the other guys submit to Damon Jax. They listen to what he told them to do. I got the idea that Damon has a soft corner for Isabella and he will not let Tyson or his group members take immediate actions on me because of Isabella.
I don't know what tomorrow holds but right now I need to take Isabella away from here. It's time for Isabella to reveal some things and just like that I left the Wildwood Enterprise Charter School hand in hand with Isabella, leaving a baffled Tyson behind me.
