Chapter 3

Once Mr .Hussain is done with his lecture , I didn't even wait for him to end the class .Grabbing my
backpack ;shoving everything in just a single go .I make my way out of the class, n o, let me corect
myself I don't make my way , I run clearly afraid of the infamous QB to set his eyes on me once again .

Twice was enough , I tell my heart .With just these two encounters with Jacob Knight , I feel as if I have
just stepped out of a freaking whirlpool ;my emotions were a mess , my pride was humiliated and I was
feeling real low and God forbid , I never felt this low never in my life not since my father abandoned us
in that small town without once looking back.

I trudged my way to the parking lot , I knew that if I leave now I will be missing on half of my classes
and I wasn't someone who cut their classes but I believed I deserved to cut some slack after being
groped and touched against my will , Jacob Knight never intended to go over the far edge and I knew
that much , he was everyone's golden boy with a charming smile and perfect image to be taken care of
, nonetheless his touch was uncalled for , I half wanted to make my wayback and tattle on to him toa
teacher but I knew that you don't mess up with Jacob Knight , not because he was the quarter back but
because he was psychotic.

He had no redemption , no bottom limit , he was an endless abyss once you get entangled with him ,
he will draw you in.

And I want nothing to do with him , one year just ,one year .Once this year is done Jacob Knight will be
old story , I will move to Columbia and get that jerk out of my head and my life.

"Bells?"My mum calls out to me , I knew that My homeroom teacher must have already told her about
me cutting classes .Not wanting her to invade my privacy ;I answer her back letting her know that I will
be down in a second .Making sure that she wasn't coming up , I pull my tee and shorts , what? was
upset alright .I slept once I held my pity party in the shower.

"What's going on , why did you left school so early?its going t o impact your performance ."



This was my mum. I love this woman but I really wish she would ask me what was happening to me
instead of paying so much attention to my academic results.

"I'm not feeling well" I tell her.

"But Bella, its too early for you to miss you classes;we cannot have you mess up your final year"

I roll my eyes ;yup there it is.Who gives two damn if I'm feeling sick but oh boy , if I were to get a Bin
my test .

"Just one day mum ; let me take a breather" I tell her trying m y best to keep my tone even "It will be
fine its just half of the day ; I will sleep a lot tonight and by tomorrow I will be fine"

My mum frowns ;searching my eyes for something what she always does just in case if I was lying .The
doorbell rings letting me breathe a sigh of relief , once my mum steps out of the room .I make my way
into the kitchen wondering who was at the door ;my sister was off to her nursing college she wouldn't
be here as for my brother he's been acting like a real asshole ever since this drama with Jacob
happened.

Chris wants to be the next QB once Jacob graduates thus me messing up with Jacob was equal to
messing up with his chances at being the future QB.

While I wasn't at fault , Chris blamed me and I knew why he did that it was easier;I was the weaker link
in our family the one who will always back down , the most adjustable one, in short I was weak while
Jacob was not .Instead of fighting with Jacob , it was easy for Chris to simply blame me .

There was no need for it though with his mop of blonde hair and Gorgeous green eyes ;Chris was now
the part of the football team , while he didn't took part in my bullying , he didn't help me either Asshole



"Oh hello " hearing my mum's soft simpering voice , I make m y way outta the kitchen .My mum doesn't
talk like that not unless it was someone important .

And once I do , I wish I could run back inside my room , throwing my covers on my poor body and
never ever make my way back into my own living room , I don't know why but Jacob Knight with his
charming golden boy smileis standing i n my living room .

He's in the same clothes he was in the morning , meaning he just got out of his practise .

"Hello, Mam " flashing his shit eating grin at my mum he bows respectfully before kissing my mum on
her knuckles.And my mum looks down right fascinated , looking at him like he is her salvation and
maybe he is , not only because he can be the one person who can help my brother in securing his QB
position because he is the living walking golden spoon.

With a father owning a pharmaceutical company , Jacob Knight can practically bless his future
generation a life of comfort and satisfaction without moving a damn finger .

"What are you doing here?" My voice come sharper than I intended it to but then again he shouldn't be
here or no where near me after all the sufferings he has put me to.

"Bella " my mum admonishes me.I can feel my face burn with humiliation not this again my brother
wasn't supportive of me and now my mum was being all charmed up by this jerk?

"You forgot this , sweetheart " throwing me my chemistry book he winks at me as I gaze at him in
horror.

No he didn't , he didn't just sweet hearted me in front of mum .My mum looked at me and then at Jacob
, I can practically see those numerous fantasies being cooked up in her head , she was a hopeless



romantic , one of the many causes she just selected my father overall other men in just one single
encounter.

"Thank you so much , Bella thank the nice guy " my mum implores at me ; I wanted to say no thank you
but her glare made me choke up on air and I said thank you to my tormentor.

Jacob grins at me knowing fully well that he was in control he has manipulated my mum perfectly into
believing in his fake persona and now | was at his mercy since my mum already like him .

"Why don't you stay for dinner ?"I can see my mum gushing a t him and I can see her gloating at
Mrs.Covignton's tea party .

"He can't " I stop her . Maybe Jacob fees he has done enough damage because he turns down my
mother's invitation apologetically .I sigh in relief but realize I have done it too earlier because a second
later I hear Jacob calling out my name.

"Bella , walk me out " his voice held certain authority as if he wasn't going to take no for an answer for
this one , I wish I could tell him to fuck off but my mum beats me to it .

"Of course she will "

I roll my eyes once again just like that sue has taken another decision for my life without consulting me.

Left with no choice I could only walk Jacob Knight out .
