Chapter 31JasonWhen i woke up that morning, the first thing i saw was the news on Regina's dad. I remember when she told me a few days back that there were rumors about her father being involved in fraud but i never thought that it would get to this. I met her father just once and that was when he came to donate some things to the school and i never thought he would be a fraudster. I know it's not written on the face but yet, he didn't count me as such. Now, i didn't even know what to make of all of this. It was confusing and very disturbing because I really liked Regina and I hated to think that this was happening to her.''Jason?'' she croaked.When I found her earlier on, she was a complete mess. Her bathroom was filled to the brim with water and she smelt like puke. I didn't want to bathe her because that would mean intruding on her privacy and besides, she never gave me permission so I did my best with the wet wipes I had found on her bedside table. I cleaned her up as best as

Chapter 33ReginaAn hour later, we were done cleaning the kitchen after the mess we made. With the cookie now in the oven, we could go back to the living room and continue watching the show we had paused. The clouds were heavy, pregnant with rain and I knew that soon, there would be a heavy downpour.''Won't your mom worry that you've been out all day?''I hadn't seen his phone ring since he came in and I wondered whether his mom wouldn't be worried over his whereabouts.''She's not even in the country. She's in Canada, a long time friend of hers is getting married and she had to attend. It's just me and my brother at home and those ones, they really don't care as long as I don't get into trouble.'' he laughed.That explained why his phone hadn't been blaring with calls and text messages. I knew my mother. If she even knew I was out late at a friend's house, my phone wouldn't survive the onslaught of calls and text messages from her.''That explains everything.'' I smiled.''Yep.'' h

Chapter 35Regina''Move.'' he repeated.The trio of bullies all turned to look back and when they saw it was Jason, they laughed their heads off, calling him all sorts of derogatory names.''Look who's here, it's the nerd.'' Logan mocked.''I do not want to repeat myself.'' Jason said with a mad look in his eyes.''And what if you do, what will you do huh?'' Dean asked, hitting him on the shoulder with his.By now, the attention of the whole class was on us and I couldn't believe this was happening. If they got into a fight, it would be my fault and I had to think of a way to stop this from happening and fast.''You guys stop!'' I shouted, rising to my feet in anger.They didn't seem to hear me or even made any attempt to stop and with them standing there, the tension was growing. Jason's eyes were blazing red and never in my life had I ever seen him this angry before. It just seemed like he was seeing red and if the gu

Chapter 37ReginaAt the cheerleading meeting, I now understood everything Jason said. I didn't know why I was this blind before to see how these girls behaved. It was disgusting as well as disturbing to know that I had actually encouraged and supported their nasty behavior.''We heard what happened Regina.'' Franka said.I was mostly sitting by myself and if I knew any better, I would say that they were all avoiding me which was something I couldn't quite understand. I shrugged because I really didn't have any answer to what she said. Was she asking a question or was it a statement? I was honestly confused.''Yes, we did.'' Angie said.I had a terrible feeling about all of this and I just couldn't place my hand on it. It just seemed like this was a gang-up, something they had thought about before this meeting, I just knew it.''And is it true?'' Franka asked.I didn't know what they meant by this. It just seems like they were egging me on, trying to force words out of my mouth but I

Chapter 39Regina''What the hell is going on here?'' Dean barked as soon as he got to where we sat.Angie, seeing an opportunity to get back at us, faked a small tear, claiming that she had been hit by Jason. I knew Angie was vile but I never knew she was this wicked. It was very easy for her to contort a lie, one that would gain pity from her new boyfriend, Dean.''Oh, so you resort to telling lies now?'' Jason asked, rising to his feet.I knew this could turn very ugly so I stepped in. They all stared at me when I rose up and I knew it was now or never.''So what do you plan to do Dean?'' I asked with a sick smile on my face.Yes! The old Regina was coming back and I loved every bit of it. Dean gave me a confused look as he wondered what on earth I was really driving at.''What do you mean bitch?'' he mocked.Angie and his minions laughed but it didn't affect me one bit. It only made me stronger and more determined to
