.Rise and Fall. (33)

|Chapter: 33|

I closed my locker and looked around for Nick but he was nowhere to be seen. Sighing I made my way towards my third class that is Physics AP.

He'll be mad again telling me I didn't wait for him. I have no choice, I cannot be late for my class now. Can I?

Always having the habit of overthinking things, I wasn't paying attention to where I was going and bumped into someone.

"Hey Serena", Max smirked.

"I'm sorry I didn't see where I was going", I apologised and try to walk passed him but he held me back grabbing my arm.

"I wanted to say thank you." He let go off my arm. I was really confused by now.

"For what?"

"For making my party super cool. You really took it to another level, huh. And who knew what a beautiful piece of art you are underneath these big loose hoodies and sweaters you wear. I can see why Nickel chooses you over all the girls."

He just passed the title of the biggest jock with the straight A+ grade in my eyes. Disgusted by his look and comments, I was fuming with anger now.

But I know, better not deal with this kind of person and I tried to walk away again. The keyword is 'tried'. He grabbed my arm with one hand and the other he used it to pull out his phone.

"Well if you forgot how good you looked then I can give you a glimpse of it", he smirked as he slide his finger through his phone. My heart started to pound. What was he going to show me? Then he turn his phone around so that I could see.

I felt all the blood leaving my body and I got numb when I saw the video of me stripping.

Ashamed of what I did, I bowed my head trying my best to stop the tears that were threatening to fall out. "Please delete the video", I begged.

"No use. I'm not the one who made it and its already spread around", he shrugged like its no biggy and left.

I should've thought about this before. Its highschool and rumours don't take long to fill within the hallways. And the video spreaded which means they already saw it. Every single one of them saw it. Will I be expelled now? Or worst I will never be able to complete my dream to study in Yale.

How can I be so stupid? How can I be so foolish? Why did I drink and not listen Nick? Why did I even agree to go to that stupid party? Why?

"Serena", Sarah pulled my hands off my hair I didn't realise I was pulling.

"My life is doomed Sarah before it even started", I cried out.

"Not now Ser, you have to be strong. Nick there..."

"What happened to Nick?", I cut her off. Suddenly I panicked since I didn't see him.

"He is beating up the guy who spread the video behind the school and you have to stop him. He..."

I didn't let her finish and sprinted out to the playground. I had to stop him before he do something that he would regret later and dwell on it for days. I cannot see him getting hurt.

As I reached the crowd that surrounded where Nick was sitting on the guy and was punching the life out of him. Zac and others were trying to pull him away but he didn't move a inch from his position. The guy had his face painted with blood and looked lifeless. I was scared he might actually kill him.

"STOP IT NICK", Stella yelled standing on the side.

I dropped my books on the ground and pushed through the crowd. I crawled slowly reaching for him and placed my hand on his arm to stop him while Zac and his friends stepped back.
