Chapter 16: Redemption Punch

Melissa's POV.

For that punch, I wasn't sorry. I knew exactly what I was doing when I walked up to him and punched his nose. He deserved that, every bit of it.

I could see the shock on their faces as Lex lay there on the couch staring at me with a kind of look on his face that expressed complete surprise.

"Do you think I was going to let that go? It was my very first time, and you took it away from me like it was nothing. I hope you get your nose treated because I really prepared for this."

I said to him without any form of pity in my voice as he bled from his nose, and just as I turned to leave, Nick stood in front of me.

"You need to apologize for that," he said, constantly glancing at Lex, who was still lying here on the couch, unable to move.

"Why should I? He never apologized when he took my virginity without warning." I fired back at him, taking a step closer to him to show him that I wasn't taking it lightly.

"What are you? A princess? Why are you making things so hard for Lex?"

Just then I glanced at Lex, who was now trying to sit up on the couch, before turning my gaze back to Nick.

"I figured it must be very exhausting for him to always have his way every single time, and maybe from time to time he needs someone to check his brain and make sure he's functioning right because he seems to be losing it a lot."

Without waiting for his response, I pushed him out of my way as I stormed towards the door.

I had a few footsteps following me, but I did not turn around, and just then I heard his voice.

"Let her go."

I couldn't mistake that voice; I've heard it too many times in these past few days, and even in my dreams I knew it was Lex.

Why was he asking them not to come after me? Was he giving up already?

Now I had a written agreement from him that he was never going to hurt me anymore, and if he does, I have something solid to prove against him that he is guilty of bullying students.

As I stepped out of that door, I felt a wash of relief within my veins as I slowly began to track my steps towards my classroom. It's felt as if I have achieved something so great, and the feeling of freedom instantly began to overwhelm me.

I walked into my classroom, not looking at anyone's face, as I could not wait to finally be free of all their gossip and ill treatment.

With this agreement he would have to return every form of attack on me, and that included stopping the students constantly to bully me, which I expected to see immediately unless maybe he wanted to go back on the agreement.

Just as I approached my desk, I heard a girl whisper to her partner and laugh. Without thinking much of it, I walked over to my desk and instantly lost balance, falling backwards to the floor.

"What the heck? Who did this?" I asked, standing up from the ground as I approached my desk even more, and noticed that they had killed reptiles and cut them in pieces, spreading them on top of my desk.

"Who the heck did this?" I questioned so loudly this time, but neither of them would say a word to me; instead, they began to leave the class one after another.

I knew for sure that the one person that could make this stop was Lex, and I needed him to call it quits already since we had an agreement signed.

I walked out of the classroom angrily to the school management office and invited one of the supervising staff to come and confirm the act of bullying from my fellow students, but by the time he followed me into the classroom, my desk was cleared and wiped.

It felt foolish of me as I stood there staring at the desk in complete shock, wondering how they had done that in a matter of minutes.

"I thought you said there were dead animals on your desk. Why can't I see anything?" The school supervisor who came to check with me stood there in surprise as he wondered if I was only joking around with him.

"I swear there was something here. I seriously do not know how they got it off so quickly, but they had dead reptiles on my desk scattered everywhere around it," I said to him, hoping that he was going to believe me.

Instead of responding, he shook his head slowly in disappointment as he began to head for the door. I didn't know what to say as I watched him leave. I was standing there in silence, staring at him as he walked away, and just then someone walked in from the second door.

"You really got nerves, I must say. I mean, to think that you are so bold as to go to the management office and invite them to inspect something that is completely none of their business is one very bold step of yours. They told me you had such guts, but I never believed them."

A girl with blonde hair and perfect white skin said to me as she walked into the classroom, and for a second I felt like I had seen her somewhere before; I just couldn't place exactly where it was I had seen that exact same face.

She looked like luxury, I mean the jewelry she had on. The perfect nose and ear rings.

"I am sorry, but who are you exactly?" I asked her in a calm voice, taking some steps back while she approached me slowly.

"Oh me, I am Selena, and I heard you did something very, very bad."

"What?"
