The Badboy Is My Bully - Chapter 17：17

♡ L I L Y ‘S  POV  ♡

I followed him limping and feeling cold from our previous swim. The water was already sipping through my clothes making it wet and stick to my skin uncomfortably.

I let out a huff when I got tired of walking,my toe still hurt and I really wanted Asher to carry me.

” You know you can help a girl out here, my toe is killing me and I’m tired of limping,plus you owe me since we’re now friends.”  I told him unconvincing

“Let me think about it ” he pretended to think by tapping his index finger on his chin. ” Nope! ”

“I thought we’re friends, wow you’re on a bad start at being a friend.”  I scolded

“I’m a bad friend for not wanting to carry your heavy ass?”

” How dare you! I’m not heavy!”

“If you’re not going to carry me then I’ll  just stay here.” I huffed before sitting on the ground and crossed my arms pouting   like a little kid.

He turned around chuckling while shaking his  head at me.

” You know you’re really stubborn.”  He said

” Why thank you”

” there are snakes and bears here”

“Nice try but that doesn’t scare me” I said arrogantly but deep down I was about to shit my pants when I heard the word snake. I have seen anaconda and it doesn’t end good.

“Well I’m leaving you to fend for yourself ” he started walking again not glancing my way once

“Wow the best friend ever.” I snorted trying not to care oh my god please turn back

“Ughhh come on” he turned  around bending down a little  for me to come on his back.

“Yes!”

I got off the ground, limped  to him and got on his back holding him tightly.

We were 10 mins in our walk when we heard something shift in the bushes and I got paranoid. I started to panic when the sound got nearer. I gripped Asher tightly closing my eyes while chanting a prayer in my head.

“Asher we’re about to die”

“Lil you’re being dramatic it’s not anything”

“It could be a snake bear rat spider…”

I rushed out still panicking

“Rat spider?wow I’m shaking of fear.”  He answered sarcastically

We heard a little growl and Asher stopped in his tracks.

” see I told you there was something here with us, what if it’s Annabelle?”

“Lil seriously Annabelle? Babe I don’t think Annabelle growls.”

” Yes she does I saw it in the recent movie they released”

“Whatever it’s a movie lil it’s not real”

” That’s what you think.”

The growling stopped and out came a dog who looked like it was starving. Shit mother of Jesus please save us from this beast. It was growling viciously, gaining on us. Asher tensed up before holding on to me tightly.

When the vicious dog got closer I closed my eyes and waited to be eaten. But was relieved when I heard it whimper and ran away. I opened my eyes looking for what saved us. It was Asher’s foot.

” what did you do to that poor dog?”

” that poor dog was about to eat our ass for dinner so I kicked it.”  He shrugged nonchalantly

” would you stop pretending that you weren’t scared”  I said annoyed

” I wasn’t, I’m the one who saved us in the first place.”

“Wow what a hero” I said sarcastically

He didn’t acknowledge my sarcastic tone and continued to walk. We reached the motorcycle and he put me down softly.

He reached for the helmets giving me one before hopping on the motorcycle. I put mine on and got on after him holding him tightly. He started it up and drived out of there.

We reached the compass 30 minutes later. There wasn’t anyone outside because  classes were still going on. I got off and gave him back his extra helmet. I cleared my throat of the lump that was forming and looked down.

“Umm today was fun… yeah bye! I said not knowing what to say. I tried to quickly walk to the building  but he stopped me.

” Yes I’ll see you tomorrow for that project.”

“Yeah sure”  I rushed out before entering and running up the stairs to my dorm room.  I could hear his slight chuckles behind  me. Entering the room , I slid  down the door not really accepting the events that happened earlier.

From the groping and moaning to almost getting eaten by a dog.  I don’t know what got into me to even make Asher touch me that way. It’s because you like him way more than a friend and always have.

It is true though even after all the bullying I just always had  unrequited  feelings for him and it hurt more now

Since I knew what caused him to bully me

And I’m pretty sure we can’t ever be together, his parents won’t ever accept me. Not that Asher would want to pursue a relationship with me anyway.

Feeling  sad because of my thoughts I got up to change before I catch a cold with those wet clothes. The room looked clean and the vomit was nowhere to be seen which was surprising. Sonia must have came in to clean it up.

I heard the door open harshly before hearing footsteps entering.

” where have you been you little slut?” Sonia asked rudely, a new guy followed behind her like a puppy.
