1885 Words
Olivia’s POV
“what the he*ll is this?” Mom shoved her phone in my face
“Mom, I can explain”, I said after reading the heading, ‘notice of detention’, written on her phone
“Okay, explain”, her face got red, and she struggled to breathe, yes she was mad, I’ve always been the perfect daughter, my sister Amy on the other hand always got into trouble but not me
“Sean and Zack Knight got into a fight”
“What, why?”
“Because Zack is a jerk”
“Language”
“Sorry, it was all Zack’s fault, he started it but then told the principal that it was us who attacked him, and that he was only acting in self-defence”
“How did he start it?”
“He poured milk on my hair”
“What?”
“And then Sean got mad, and then the fight started, and the rest is history”
“That’s absolute nonsense, I’m calling your principal now”
“No, mom please don’t, I’m fine, it’s just three days detention, I’ll use the time to catch up on my reading”, I smiled nervously
“Honey, if this guy is bullying you we need to report him”, she said lightly grazing my cheek
I can’t let her do that, if she causes a scene over this, things might get even worse for me, I need Zack’s radar to be as far away from me as possible, but if my mother gets involved I’ll have a huge red target on my back
“It was just a silly prank that got way out of hand, I promise you that it won’t happen again”
“Are you sure? You know you can tell me anything right?”
“I know mom, trust me, it’s nothing”
“Okay, I hate that you got detention though”, she pulled me into a hug
“Me too, it just means that I’ll have to work that much harder just to keep my GPA”
I got to my room and laid on the bed facing the ceiling, fantasizing about all the different ways I could have Zack killed, “I could have him assassinated”, I pictured a sniper hiding in the bushes and when Zack showed his stupid face, ‘bang’, “an assassin might be too expensive, how about hiring a mechanic to mess with his car? No, that can easily be traced back to me”
I rolled over and looked out my window, “how about a ninja, he can sneak into his house and do the job and sneak out without anyone ever knowing that he was even there”, I sighed, “yes it’s perfect but where will I find a ninja?”
My bedroom door flung open, “look who's a bad girl now, I heard you got detention… nice”
“What? don’t you know how to knock?”
“I’m just curious, how did you of all people get two guys to fight over you?”
“What?” She clearly had it all wrong, “is that what everyone at school is saying, that they were fighting over me?”
“I know right, I couldn’t believe it either, I mean look at you; you don’t wear any makeup, you have terrible fashion sense and to top it all off you’re a nobody”
My sister Amy ladies and gentlemen, sixteen years old, popular and to top it all off she is the captain of the cheerleading squad, and she even has a boyfriend, when I her big sister, have remained single all my teenage years and she never lets an opportunity pass without reminding me of that fact
“How you got two guys to fight over you is beyond me”, she continued
“Get out”
“Hey, no need to get testy, see what I did there?” She chuckled
“Get the hell out of my room Amy”, she quickly closed the door when I threw my pillow at her, I could hear her laughing down the hallway
***
I sat in detention lost in space, Mrs Evelyn my class teacher was our warden today and she kept giving me looks and shaking her head, it must be my test results, I know that I didn’t do well in the pop quiz she gave us, because I was distracted thinking about Zack
Will I see him today, what will he do, is he going to start another fight, when will he leave me alone, why do I keep getting hiccups every time I’m around him? All these questions droned in and out of my head, as I wrote the test, no matter how hard I tried I couldn’t concentrate
“Miss Whitlock, will you come here for a moment please?”
I knew it, she wants to scold me about my test results, the problem with being a straight A student is that you can never falter, it calls too much attention to you, the A-student’s motto is climb and maintain, you trip up once, you’ll find yourself in detention being scolded for poor test results
“Yes Mrs Evelyn”, I gave her a forced smile as I waited for the lecture to begin
“Is everything alright at home?” She asked in a low sombre voice
“Why would you ask me that?”
“I’m just worried about you; you don’t seem to be acting like yourself lately”, I looked at her and didn’t answer, “please take a seat”, I sat with my back to the class facing her
Should I tell her about him and everything he has done to me? As a teacher maybe she can be more discreet than my mother would have been, she seems genuinely concerned about me, let me trust her and hopefully she can talk some sense into Zack, and maybe he might leave me alone from now on
“Zack knight used to be a nice guy back in middle school, but one day he just changed especially towards me, he started cursing at me and calling me names, yes it hurt when he did that, but then”, I stopped feeling the tears start to well up in my eyes as I remembered his insults
“It’s okay Olivia, take your time”, she handed me a tissue and I continued
“His attacks turned physical, he started shoving me, throwing my books on the floor, kicking me, punching me, that fight in the cafeteria began because Zack poured milk on my head, and smeared mac and cheese all over my face, and Sean was only standing up for me, Zack is the one that should be here not us”, I cried wiping my tears with the tissue
“Oh my god Olivia, I’m so sorry that that happened to you, I didn't know”
“No one does, this is the first time I've ever told anyone about it, I just wanted to have a good year, I wanted my last year at school to be filled with fun and adventure, but now I feel like I’m constantly looking over my shoulder, because I don’t know where or when he’ll pop up, I’m tired of being scared, Mrs Everlyn, I don’t want to be scared anymore”, she wrapped her arms around me and let me cry
I didn’t see Zack all day on the first day of detention, lunch went as usual with Jeany and Sean fighting over yet another feeble thing with Melody egging them on.
The next day was also a no Zack day, it was starting to feel like everything was back to normal, it looks like telling Mrs Evelyn worked after all, at this rate I might not have to deal with him ever again.
On the last day of detention, I walked home stomping my feet in a rage, I hate that I had to go to detention for something that I didn’t even do, I was the one attacked, yet I paid the price
I walked home without paying attention to my surroundings and a black Mercedes screeched to a halt in front of me and I froze, the window wined down, “hey little bunny, wanna go for a ride?”
“Screw you Zack”, I barked and walked around the car, he opened his car door, and I ran, ‘sh*t, sh*t, sh*t, run Olivia, run, faster, come on’, I was stopped in my tracks by a very strong hand
“You gotta be faster than that, little rabbit”, he growled as he grabbed my arm pulling me to him
“Hic”, my body started again as my face crashed into his hard chest and his scent filled me, making my knees weak
“You get the hiccups a lot, or is it only when you’re around me?” He smirked running his hand through my curly dark brown hair
“Hic”, he chuckled
I was hoping with all my might that Mrs Evelyn got through to him, but I can see now that the past two days were just the calm before the storm, I should’ve known that Zack Knight will never give up that easily, he was just waiting for me to be comfortable so he can pull the rug up from under me at the opportune time, and, oh man, he couldn’t have picked a better time
He pulled me, dragging me to his car, he slammed me against it and pressed his body against mine, running his hand down my cheek, “hic”, he grinned and opened the door pushing me inside and slamming it hard behind me.
He locked the doors and looked at me, "how dare you report me to Mrs Evelyn!” He growled, “I think it’s time I taught you a lesson!"
He stopped in the middle of the woods and put the car in park and leaned his seat back, “what are we doing here Zack? Take me home, I want to go home”
“Not until I've thoroughly punished you”
“Fine, what is my punishment then?” I watched as he unzipped his pants and took out his member
“Hic”, my body pulsed, he chuckled and took my hand and wrapped it around his c**k, slowly moving it up and down his shaft until he was fully erect, “hic, Zack what are you doing?”
He was breathing deeply as he opened his eyes and looked at me, “I want your mouth on me”
“What?”
“Give me a blow job”
“What? No”, I pulled my hand away and he smirked
“I’m not taking you home until I c*m in your mouth”, I took a deep breath and locked eyes with him
“I’ve never done that before; I don’t know what to do”
“I’ll teach you”
“Hic”
