Innocent love of a bad boy

SHOWING HER OTHER SIDES

Tyler’s P.O.V.

It’s almost a month since that incident. Gwen avoided me like a plague every time if we crossed our path. She was true to her words. She always had her head down whenever I was anywhere near to her. She even didn’t come to see our match. She was the first girl whose ignorance bothered me so much.

I wanted to apologize her for being an a***ole that day. Neil and the other boys asked me to leave her alone. Even I talked to her best friend with black hair, Tori. She told me that Gwen was so pissed by her own self. The way I talked with her, somehow hurt her self-esteemed. Gwen didn’t like the other girls who wanted nothing but popularity. She had more self-esteemed than any of them. Tori also advised me to leave her alone. It infuriated me more. Why the hell everyone was advised me to stay away from her.

It was our last year in school and after that Gwen wanted to leave this place as soon as possible. I didn't know why, but I didn't want her to leave. I wanted her here, in front of my eyes.

Grace tried hard to seduce me again and again and every time I threw her away like trash but she didn’t get the message. She was nothing but a leech. Neil told me what did she say about Gwen that day and I cornered Grace while threatening her to stay out of the way of Gwen. It would be better for her if she got the message this time.

I was sitting in our history class and as usual, she was sitting behind me in her seat. I didn’t know how she managed to get marks when she slept throughout the class. I found her sleeping in this class every time. Still, she knew every fact that the teacher taught in the class.

“So, class, I am going to give you your first assignment for this semester. It’s a paired assignment and I have already paired all of you. I am calling the names and from now till next 2 weeks starting from this Monday, you need to sit with your partner”, Our history teacher, Ms Nida chirped and I rolled my eyes.

She started taking our names and suddenly I remembered that Gwen was still sleeping. Ms Nida was a strict teacher and famous for her punishments. She would surely punish Gwen if she finds out that she slept throughout the class. I moved back and called her in a low voice. She didn’t even flinch. Oh God… she was really a sleeper.

“Gwen”, I called her again while shaking her a little. She suddenly jolted and was about to scream when I pulled a little up to her and covered her mouth. Her eyes went widened in horror.

“Ssshhhh. The teacher is about to call our name for the group assignment. Sober you up quickly”, I took off my hand from her mouth and she blinked quite a few times. We both were looking at each other when suddenly our teacher took my name.

“Mr Tyler Williams and Ms Gwen Rosemary”, she shouted and we both stood up on our seats totally startled. She was really scary.

“I am pairing you two for the next 2 weeks starting for this Monday and you need to prepare a report on After effects of the first world war on Germany and the rest of world”, she looked at us.

“Yes”, I smirked. “No”, Gwen exclaimed.

“Is there any problem Ms Rosemary?” Ms Nida raised her brow on Gwen and I glanced at her shirking a little in fear.

“No Ms… I am fine”, she lowered her head again muttering something that was not loud to reach my ears.

“So, it’s Friday today let’s get back on Monday with the same enthusiasm”, she passed a fake smile at us and I made a face while mimicking her.

Soon the bell rang and everyone started going out of the class. I saw Gwen going out and I was surprised. I was sitting just a desk before her. When did she cross me?

I wanted to talk to her but it seemed that she didn’t want to give me a chance. I sighed and leaned down on my bag. The guilt of putting her life in danger was killing me. After a while, I stood up and went out of the class. I needed to take my books for the next class from my locker.

I took a turn towards the lockers when I saw an amazing scene in front of me. Grace was lying on the floor and Gwen was hovering over her while holding her a little high from the ground by Grace’s collar.

“Listen to me, b***h… and listen to me carefully. Tyler is not patent to you… so f**k off with your claim on him. I don’t like to meddle in other’s business and don’t tolerate if anyone meddles in my business. Stay away from me or be ready for the consequences”, Gwen threatened her in clear words while glaring hard straight eye to eye.

“Am I clear?” she roared again and it sent a shiver straight into my spine. “Y…… yes”, Grace uttered in fear. She was trembling like a dry leaf and everyone around them were glued to their spots. No one dared to move a finger.

“You better be”, Gwen threatened her again and then stormed out of the corridor in another direction. I blew out my breath that I was holding till yet.

“O My God…. Grace.. your nose… it’s bleeding”, suddenly I heard the screaming of Grace’s best friend Misha.

“Bleeding?” I mumbled in confusion. It was not like Gwen had all bad girl attitude or she could beat anyone. Then how the hell Grace was bleeding?????

“This is because… Gwen punched her hard straight on the nose”, Jack told me while coming towards me. What??? Did I say something so aloud??? And… was he here all this time????

“Did you see her punching Grace?” I asked him in a confused tone. He nodded and then looked at me again.

“I was here all this time. Grace cornered her and threatened her to keep her distance from you as you are only her. She humiliated Gwen and then… boom”, he dramatically widened his eyes in the end.

I blinked my eyes in amazement. How did I miss her presence all these years?

“You should have seen her bro…. she flipped Grace off straight to the ground and punched her only once. Grace screamed a loud but that muffled in her throat when Gwen held her through her collar”, he was telling me the whole scene with every dramatic effect.

I smirked but instantly my face darkened. How dare Grace threaten her in spite of my warning? The girl needed to know her place now.

“Let’s go, bro… we are already late”, Jack pushed me towards the locker as we heard the last bell for the class.

“O s**t”, I cursed and ran towards my locker. I already had a tag of late comer in my classes. I didn’t want this tag anymore.

Gwen’s P.O.V.

I was really fed up with Grace. She was used to bullying me in primary school but left me alone during secondary school. I was glad and never tried to be in her sight again. I did a grave mistake by crossing her path when I saved her from Tyler. She was really a pain in a**. She didn’t get the hint that it was me who saved her. Tyler was not a playboy but he had no morals like not raising hands on women.

I had seen him threatening and even slapping girls who tried to cling to him like a leech. He pushed them harder and never bothered whether they got injured or not. I was sitting in my next class and the scenes of the last few minutes started playing in front of my eyes.

I was taking my book out of my locker for the next class when Grace cornered me with her minion Misha.

“Hey kitty cat…. How r u?” I rolled my eyes in disgust when she called me by name.

“I am as always good, Grace. What do you want now?” I had no mood to mess with her. I was furious because Ms Nia paired me up with Tyler for the whole two weeks???? What the f**k????

“I want you to stay away from Tyler. You are nothing but filth and he only deserves me”, she was pointing her finger at me while cornering me to my locker. If it was past, I should be afraid and would be submitted to her words. But not now. In all those years of secondary school, I learnt how to defend my dignity.

I poured all my anger into my punch that landed straight on her nose. She screamed in pain and was about to hold her nose when I grabbed her hand and flipped off straight on the ground. She landed on the floor straight through her butt and screamed aloud.

I didn’t give her time to process what was happening and pulled her a little up from the ground by her collar. Her minion Misha was trembling like a leaf and was deadly pale.

“Listen to me, b***h… and listen to me carefully. Tyler is not patent to you… so f**k off with your claim on him. I don’t like to meddle in other’s business and don’t tolerate if anyone meddles in my business. Stay away from me or be ready for the consequences”, I threatened her while straight looking into her eyes. She had tears in her eye now with fear. She didn’t utter a word out of fear.

“Am I clear?” I roared at her when she didn’t say anything.

“Y…… yes”, she only uttered this single word while trembling like hell. I maintained my stance and then threatened her again.

“You better be”, I threw her again on the floor and stormed out of that place. My head was about to explode. I needed to get out of this place as soon as possible.
