Bailey's pov"What the hell!?"My mind didn't really focus on who said those words. I was more concentrated on the dirt and my painfully bleeding hand. I winced at the pain.I can't help but feel my heart race as fast as my mind. Who would do something like this?It was only when I felt warm fingers wrap around my wrist and tug me lightly, I looked up and my eyes fell into the worried ones of Kaleb.He looked down at my hand and cussed when he spotted the blood. Without warning, he lifted me in his arms, pulling me closer to his body as though he was trying to shield me." Who the hell would do something so cruel!" Mirabella gasp, staring at the box wide eyed."I'm going to bring her to the nurse," Kaleb said, his voice a breathy sound of panic and anger. "Don't touch anything in the meantime. There needs to be an investigation, especially since the asshole targeted Bailey to hurt her."The others nod while I am still....dumbfounded about what had just happened. The pain on my hand wa

Bailey's povTrue to his words, Kaleb stayed with me. After we were done he carried me back to the classroom despite my legs working completely fine.There were a few cops there when we arrived and only had Kaleb, me, Kristina, and the others to ask us questions.This had clearly been a threat so I was not surprised the teachers called the authorities.After I was done answering their questions they made sure to tell me that I should contact them if anything like this happens again.They also told Kaleb to not take matters into his own hands and promised me that they would find out who had sent this 'special' gift to me.The class resumed after the officers left and the teacher made sure to warn the students when the class began. However I knew in the back of my mind that this could have been anyone and I may not ever find out who.- P.E -The sun was blazing down on us and I wanted nothing more than to fake being sick so I could go relax in the shade of the classroom."I'm dead," Kri

Bailey's povThe searing pain shot me like a dart as I grasped my foot, clad with socks. I hated running with my shoes and now regret not wearing them, though J doubted they would've protected me much."Bailey!" Kaleb yelled with a rose of panic and concern. He raced across the field, barreling toward me with a speed I had never seen him use before.I clutch my foot, clenching my teeth as I look down at the damage. Blood had now stained my socks red but I could not see the culprit of my wound on my foot. My fingers are painted with the warm wetness of my blood as I try to stop the bleeding."Baby," Kaleb falls beside me, his trembling hands reaching out for my foot. I hissed and he froze, looking at me worriedly.The P.E teacher was beside us and some of the concerned students surrounded us too. " What happened?" The teacher demanded, his eyes scanning the field for any signs of the culprit."Something sharp," I wince clutching my foot and Kaleb quickly lifts me into his arms, his eye

Bailey's povThe doctor kept my mom updated and said I was okay and they have ensured that the wound will not be infected and cause any future issues. However, they wanted to keep me here for another hour for observation.As he left to tend to the other patients, Dad arrived a few minutes later with Grandma Ryn and Grandpa Ace in tow.I internally winced.Dad rushed over to my side, his face etched with concern as he took my hand in his, squeezing. "Bailey, are you okay?" he asked, his voice filled with worry as his eyes snap to my my injured foot. He glared at it.I nodded. "I'm okay dad, it looks worse than it actually is."As we all engaged in a conversation, Grandma Ryn decided to tense the atmosphere with her next question directed at Kaleb who still had not shifted away from my side."Young man. Can you give us a list of all the girls who could potentially be a threat to my granddaughter's life?"I stiffened, staring at her awkwardly while Kaleb looks flushed. "Are you talking a

Bailey's povHearing my words, Kaleb's eyes widen a bit in surprise, his eyebrows lifting slightly. He cupped my cheek tenderly, leaning forward. "Of course not? Have you forgotten what I said earlier?"My brows furrowed. So many things happened all at once that I can't recall if I missed anything important. The corner of his lips pulled up slightly into a small smile." Have you forgotten so soon baby?" he joked, brushing his thumb down my cheek tenderly. " I admitted that I am very selfish when it comes to you. Very to the point I can't let you go even when I should. Do you think," he whispered, eyes gleaming with so much honesty my heart pounds."I'd ever be able to let you go?" He whispered, leaning forward and kissing me on my forehead. "Wait until I find out who has been doing this to you and I'll drag them to hell myself."—It's been a week and everything has gone to practically normal. There had been no threat against my life or anything out of the ordinary.My wound in my fo

Bailey's pov"So let me get this straight. Out of everyone, you have to tutor Juliet the witch?" Mira snorted, leaning between the driver seat and passenger seat and twisted her head slightly to look at me.I nod. "Yes. I'll earn some extra credit for college and God knows how much I need to get into that university."Mira's brows furrowed. "Speaking about that, which one are you aiming to get into? I can't make up my mind.""Harvard University."Suddenly the car swerves a bit and Kaleb mumbles an apology. I looked at him confused and noticed the deadly grip he had on the poor steering wheel."What the hell Kaleb?!" Mira hissed as she had ended up bumping her head on the seat."Sorry. I got distracted.""By what? Bailey's response? Is lover boy scared to do long distance?" Mira teased which caused Kaleb to spare her a brief glare. She laughed but I didn't find it amusing as I now realize that Kaleb and I never talked about college and what it could mean for the future of us."What col

Bailey's povThe next morning Kaleb picks me up. Mira is slouched in the backseat, half asleep. " My brain is fried, so don't mind me that I look like a dead." Mira moaned when I entered.I giggled, leaning over the counsel to plant a soft kiss on Kaleb's lips seeing him pout when I hadn't yet. He smiled, and pecked me one more time before reluctantly pulling away."Ew uh that's nasty," Mira faked gag. " I don't think I'll ever get used to seeing you two sharing pda. I'm getting shivers and it's not the good kind."I grinned, buckling myself as I teased her. "Then maybe you should finally give Ryan a chance so that way you won't feel like a third wheel anymore."Kaleb twisted around to stare at his sister. "What does she mean Ryan? Ryan as in my best friend Ryan?" His eyes narrowed on Mira.I turn around to look at her and cringe when she sent me a glare. Oops.She sighed, rolling her eyes. "Before you get upset, nothing has happened between us. It's only been flirting and nothing mor

Bailey's povMr Malik was a very young teacher, probably in his late twenties, and was always rather not so friendly. I've heard rumors of him being a delinquent when he was our age but had changed his ways later on.I just never figured Kristina would be into his type, especially an older man who was never approachable. And was a teacher....a teacher here.And from what I know too, he was uncle Ryan's close friend older son. So I was sure Kristina knew of him before he started teaching here.Kristina's shame is clear on her face and the tears resumed down her cheeks. " I-we it kind of just happened."She took a shaky breath, her cheeks flaming with red. " One minute he was telling me about my shitty art skills when we were alone, the next-Her cheeks redden even more and she looked away from us, her eyes darting to the table. "Well you know what happened next.""Did it happen just this once?" Mira whispered, unsure if she wanted to know any further. I couldn't blame her, we were on a
