Falling For The Girl I Bullied
Chapter 99

Kyle’s P.O.V.

I wanted to strangle her to death for being so stupid and wanted to protect her at the same time. This girl was driving me crazy with every passing day. She was pissed at me and I didn’t know what to do to make her talk to me again. She was avoiding me like a plague since we fought on the bus. It had been two days since she talked to me nicely. I managed to hold her hand during our dinner when she was about to cry but that was the last physical contact between us. She was talking with everyone including David but not me.

“Hey, Kyle…. Where is your mind, huh?” Ethan yelled at me and I looked at him in confusion. We were on a short break during our second match today. We had already won our first match. “What? What happened?” I asked him while unscrewing the water bottle that Violet gave me. He huffed and then came near me. “You are staring at her continuously”, he told me in whispers and I immediately looked down at the bottle. “Uhh… forget it… let’s finish our drinks. We need to concentrate on our match”, I replied to him and looked at him.

“Yeah… as you say”, he said in a teasing tone and I glared at him this time. “Okay… listen to me, boys”, I clapped and gathered everyone. We had a match to win. I could think about how to coax her later. We then decided on some changes in our tactics and a replacement. After that, we drank some more water. “Give that to me”, she asked me for the bottle and I gave her while looking at her. She didn’t look at me and took the bottle from my hand. I sighed internally and then walked back to the court. I glanced at her one more time before taking my position. She went back to the benches.

I concentrated on the match and forgot about everything. Soon we managed to pull the game in our favor and I smiled widely when the referee blew the last whistle. “Yeah”, Ethan exclaimed loudly, and did the high five with Noah and then with Dustin before running towards me. “We won, Kyle”, he yelled and all the boys almost pounced on me while yelling happily. We all had a group hug before walking back to the benches. “Congrats, guys”, Mr. Stammers congratulated us and we all thanked him in unison. This is our second match and we have 2 more matches before the quarter-finals.

“Congrats”, Violet came and hugged Ethan. “Thanks, princess”, he immediately hugged her back and kissed her on her forehead. That immediately ruined my mood again but I restrained myself. I knew that his approach to her was only brotherly. Still, I felt jealous when he hugged her or showed his affection to her. “We are also here”, Noah suddenly chirped and she laughed shyly. She hugged him too and he immediately embraced her. “Okay, guys…. You don’t have any other match today but you have to sit on the bleachers and have to watch other events. So, go and eat something very quick and come back as early as possible”, Mr. Stammers instructed us and all the boys g*****d a little. We were tired and I also wanted to lie down for a while.

“Yes, Mr. Stammers”, Noah replied to him in a gloomy tone. Mr. Stammers laughed at us and then walked away towards the coach of the other team. “Call Violet too. She has finished our work”, I asked Ethan and he looked in her direction. “She has something to do here. Mathew will stay here with her. Let’s go”, he told me and I just nodded while pursing my lips into a thin line. It seemed that I would never a get chance to talk with her here. “You want to talk with her?” Ethan asked me while walking towards the cafeteria. “What do you think?” I asked him instead of answering him.

He chuckled and looked in front of him. “You know David is approaching her?” he asked me in a light tone and I raised my brows at him. “What do you mean?” I asked him immediately and he smirked. I really wanted to wipe that smirk from his lips. “I know, Violet. I know that she will not let any other boy come near to her… but I can’t stop other boys from approaching her”, he said in a light and careless tone. “What exactly do you want to say, Ethan?” I asked him in a stern tone this time. We entered the cafeteria and walked toward the counters. “Let’s eat something first and then we will talk about what is happening here”, he said in a casual tone and huffed this time

He was not in the position in which I was right now. His future girlfriend was not angry with him. It was mine who was pissed at me and now other boys were approaching her. He bought drinks and burgers for us and then we both walked towards a table to sit. Everyone also sat around at other tables. “Hey”, suddenly a girl came to our table and greeted us. I looked up and saw two girls standing near our table. “Hey”, Ethan greeted them back in a light tone but didn’t say anything else. “We saw your game. You guys are really awesome”, she chirped and I looked at Ethan. “Thanks… we still have some matches to play”, Ethan replied to her in the same light and polite tone.

“Uhhh.. I wonder… if you guys want to hang out with us?” she asked again and I looked up at her this time. She was a brunette and she had tied up her hair in a ponytail. Her hair must be short in length. She was curling the end of an orphan strand while giving us a seductive look. “Thanks for the offer…. But you can ask others”, Ethan answered her again in a polite tone but this time he was a little rude. I smirked when I saw the change in her facial expression. “It’s not like that you two are the only handsome boys here”, she said in a bitter tone this time. Ethan sighed aloud and leaned towards the table.

“None of us say that we are the only handsome boys here. I mean… of course, we know that we are handsome and different from other boys…..so”, he replied in an arrogant tone this time and then his expression went cold. “Get lost”, he said in a cold tone. Her eyes went wide in shock. “Let’s go, Sabrina”, the other girl was wiser than her as she tried to pull her away from us. “You guys are rude and I think that b***h is the only one who suits you all”, she suddenly spat in a venomous tone but her remark made me clench my fists hard. “Careful with your words, girl… you are talking about my friend…. One more word and I will show you how rude and ruthless I can be”, Ethan stood up while threatening her in a cold tone.

The girl immediately stumbled on her feet when he took a step forward towards her while glaring at her hard. The other girl immediately shrank behind her. “She is far better than the girls like you”, he spat on her this time and she stomped her foot in anger. “Ha…better than me”, she taunted and now I stood up. I needed to keep Ethan away from her. “The only girl living with twenty boys in a room…. How better and good she can be, huh?” she spat again and this time I glared hard at her while holding Ethan back from his shoulder. “If you know that she is living with twenty boys then you must know that those twenty are very protective towards her and very possessive too”, suddenly David approached us and replied to her in a cold tone.

She was startled by his approach. I saw others approaching us too. “Sabrina… let’s go”, the other girl spoke again in a fearful tone this time. “Whoever is spitting nonsense about her…. Go and tell her that our girl doesn’t need any certificate on her character from you all. We know what she is and that’s enough for us”, he was now standing straight in between Ethan and that girl. The other boys also gathered around and now the girls were standing among all of us. She gulped hard while looking at him with fearful wide eyes. “Sabrina”, the other girl dragged her away from us and I looked back at Ethan. “I know who is behind all this”, Ethan spoke in a cold tone still glaring at that girl.

“We don’t need to pay attention to them. We know what Violet truly is and this is enough for her”, David moved towards us and said to Ethan in a calm tone but I could feel anger in his tone too. Ethan took a few deep breaths and then looked at me. “I am okay”, he said to me and I released my hand from his shoulder. “Is everything okay?” Axel asked this time. “Yup… everything is fine”, I replied to him, and then all scattered around. David also went back with Axel and others. I guess they also had finished their match and by seeing the smiles on their faces, I could say that they also won their match.

“We don’t need to pay attention to them. We know what Violet truly is and this is enough for her”, David moved towards us and said to Ethan in a calm tone but I could feel anger in his tone too. Ethan took a few deep breaths and then looked at me. “I am okay”, he said to me and I released my hand from his shoulder. “Is everything okay?” Axel asked this time. “Yup… everything is fine”, I replied to him, and then all scattered around. David also went back with Axel and others. I guess they also had finished their match and by seeing the smiles on their faces, I could say that they also won their match.

Ethan drank his juice with a stiff face. I knew that he was still pissed but we couldn’t do anything in this matter. We all knew that it was going to happen when Mr. Stammers told us that she was going to stay with us. “Is there any way to stop Sia?” Ethan asked me in a pissed tone and I just looked at him blankly. “There is only one way”, I said and he raised his brows at me questioningly. “She has to change her school or your parents adopt her”, I told him what was in my mind. His eyes widened a little but narrowed immediately as if he was weighing the options that I gave him right now.

“Let’s finish… we need to go back too”, I said to him and then started eating. My appetite was gone but I needed to finish everything. I wanted to reach out to her now. We both finished our meal and then threw the waste in the bin. “Let’s go”, I said to Kyle after washing our hands and others also joined us. “Let’s watch a movie tonight”, Noah proposed while walking back towards the stadium. “I am really tired. I don’t think that I can’t stay awake for long once I hit the bed”, Dustin said in a tired tone. “And I have to finish those sums that Violet taught me the last night”, he g*****d again and this time I looked back at him.

“What?” he asked me in confusion. I shook my head and then looked back in front of me again. They continued their bickering but I didn’t pay any heed to them. We stopped in our tracks when we reached the bleachers where Ethan had asked Matthew to sit with Violet. I stiffened immediately when I saw Augustus there sitting with her. Matthew was sitting on the other side of her and was looking pissed right now. I looked at Ethan and we both jogged toward them immediately. Her eyes met mine and I saw her eyes lit up immediately. She was looking so tense. Augustus also looked toward us and his face went ugly immediately. He stood up and then walked in the other direction.

I immediately sat down near her and she wrapped her hand around my arm and scooted near me. I felt trembling in her body. I knew that she was not comfortable with strangers and new people around her. “What was he doing here?” Ethan asked Mathew. “He wanted to talk with her”, Matthew replied in a pissed tone. I wrapped my hand around her shoulder and pulled her closer to me. “You are alright. Relax”, I comforted her but she didn’t stop trembling. I looked at Ethan who was now looking pissed so much.
