Cindy's POV

During the class, Mr Finn keeps giving me concerned looks and I hate it. True to his word he sent Chase and his friends to detention for coming late.

And now we're learning equations, and I can't even write anything!!! My hand hurts when I try to twist it, so fucking annoying

"Would you stop it? you're making irritating noises!" The girl at my front snaps and I grin sheepishly

"Sorry" I say but she just rolls her eyes and looks forward

"Bitch" I mutter and she turns around so fast her neck must have snapped

"What the fuck did you call me?!" She yells

"Miss Stanley, Cindy, mind telling what's going on?" Mr Finn asks and the while class turns to us, their eyes settling on my neck, I use my hands to cover it, but then my purple wrist shows

I shrink under their curious gazes and sigh

So much for keeping a low profile.

...

Classes have been miserable, I had to get a scarf from the lost and found box, it's horrible and multicolored!!!!

It doesn't go with my outfit! Everyone's been laughing at me, even History teacher Mr Johnson snickered!

At least I've been able to avoid the guys and the girls. I already got my things from the library, now it's time for lunch and I think I should just go to the nurse's office.

I'm not hungry, as I see people enter the cafeteria, I wait for a moment then I go to the nurse's office

"Cindy! It's been a long time since i- Oh my- what are you wearing!!" She practically screams

"Actually that's what i-" she rips the scarf off my neck and I wince a bit from the burn

Wait for it...

She gasps "Cindy, who-who did this?! Is someone hurting you! Cindy they're fingerprints!" She touches my neck and I wince

"It's nothing"

"Nothing! Cindy this is something!"

"I got into a cat fight okay?" I lie, really exhausted

"Oh, silly girl" she says and then puts ointment on it, I show her my wrist and I see the question at the tip of her tongue and I inhale, she keeps quiet and puts the ointment, then she wraps it with a bandage

"After like an hour, remove the bandage ok?"

"Okay"

"Good" She says and hands me painkillers, not sure why but I take it

"Thanks, the scarf please"

"No way I'm letting you wear that hideous thing again, you need to leave your neck open"

"Okay, bye" I say, standing up to leave, next stop, toilet

I come out and immediately bump into a chest, that scent... Ryan? No! No no no no I quickly move to the other side keeping my head down, but I hit another chest

Cinammon and coconuts...Drake?

I thought he wasn't speaking to me?

"Cindy" Shit Amelia, I groan and look up, facing all of their intense stares, how on earth did they find me?!

"You've been avoiding us" Danny says, no shit

"What? Noooo, I just never saw you guys" I say, letting out a nervous laugh

Lindsy scoffs "Amelia and I got to your house very early and you weren't there, then a boy comes in a black car, telling us he just dropped you off"

"I had something to do!" I exclaim

"Cindy-"

"- You found me now right? Now go eat your lunches, I'm not hungry" I say and suddenly I hear a growl, an actual growl like werewolf growl, even though I've never really heard that before

Everyone turns to Ryan

"Cindy, what happened to your neck, your lip, and your hand is bandaged" He says, his eyes clouding with anger

Everyone's eyes slowly move to mine and I shrug

"My Clumsiness-"

"-Will you just stop fucking covering up for Anderson?!!" Vincent suddenly yells fuming, I've never seen him like this before, I see their surprise then it changes to confusion

"Chase? Cindy, what's going on between you and Chase?" Lindsy asks

"We're dating" I say

"Cindy, we saw you last night, he bruised your wrist, and I'm pretty sure he caused that cut on your lip" Jake says

"Cindy, what is he fucking doing to you and why won't you tell us, why won't you tell me?" Amelia asks, her eyes filling with tears and I see Jake wrap an arm around her

I look around seeing Ryan and Vincent's anger, Lindsy and Drake's caring gazes, Danny's curious expression, Jake's frustrated expression, Jace's confused expression, Amelia close to tears, I caused all of this, and I feel so fucking bad

"I'm so-"

"Hey Cindy! Let's go out, I know you have free period!" Chase yells, standing with his friends in the empty hallway and I see Ryan and Vincent eyes dart to him

They look at each other and I see the determination in their eyes, oh oh

"Hey Anderson?!" Vincent calls

"What is it fucker?!"

"Run." That's all Ryan says and they charge at then like hungry lions, Danny and Drake join them and the jocks run

I look at my crying bestie

"Amelia i-"

"He's hurting you isn't he? He's blackmailing you in some sort of way right?" She immediately asks and I glance at Jake

"I can't tell you anything now Mia, but I'll explain it to you guys later , everything."

I say, looking at Lindsy

"Everything?"

"Yes, just give me some time and please help me stop the boys" I say

"There's no hope for that, they're not gonna stop until they beat them up.

"I swear, Ryan acts like he's in love with you sometimes" Amelia says and Jake coughs, as if it remind us that he's still here,

I laugh

"But don't you wish you two were dating?" Lindsy sighs dramatically, Jace(her boyfriend) frowning at her she just giggles as we take off after the boys

That's the thing Lindsy, I can only wish...
