The Bully And His Broken Beloved

Author’s POV

Cara Anderson is now standing in front of the main gate of her college. She is happy to be accepted in her dream college which is really difficult to get into.

She lifted her feet to step forward but instantly put it down to steady herself. Her legs are shivering and it is going to be hard to move forward until the trembling in her legs stops or at least subsides, she knows.

She won’t be able to balance her whole weight on single leg if she tried lifting her feet to walk.

She inhaled a sharp breath and released it through her lips to calm her nerves down. Closing her eyes shut she repeated the action, breathing in and out.

She took her pills a while ago but she hasn’t calmed down yet. It is going to take a little more time before the medicine starts showing it’s effect.

No, she is not nervous because this is her first day here. She is not a kind of girl who gets anxious over going to new places and meeting new people.

Yes she does get nervous like a normal person but what she is feeling right now is not normal.

The scene she saw on the way to college is still playing in her mind even after every attempts of her to push the thought away. That is what making her anxious and panic.

The memories of yesterday’s incident with those three boys were already messing with her mind the whole night which didn’t let her sleep properly, and now those bloody knuckles….those screams….

‘No… don’t think about it Cara, you are okay’ she whispered to herself. Clenching her eyes shut for a moment she again took a deep breath.

Opening them again she gathered all the courage to move forward and started walking with her wobbly legs.

By the time she came out of the main office after completing the remaining paperwork and getting her schedule and locker details, the medicine had already started it’s work and she was feeling a bit better than earlier.

Going through papers in her hand she made her way to the locker room as there is still some time left before the first class starts.

Cara Anderson is an orphan. She wasn’t one since the birth but after her parents died in an accident, of which she doesn’t have much memories except the dark room and screams, she didn’t have any relative who would take care of her.

So she was sent to foster home when she was five years old, which was nothing but a hell for her. After that she was adopted once and then was abandoned, resulting in her being sent to another orphanage, which was the place where she grew up.

Since childhood she has been a good student with top scores in almost every subject, not because she loves studying but because at first she was scared that if she didn’t study then she is going to get scolded by care takers in orphanage, like in the first orphanage she was in.

Later the fear was replaced by the worry. Worry of getting scholarships for getting accepted into good school without having to pay much. As you know only the students with great academic scores and perfect student records are eligible for scholarships.

That is why she has always put her everything in studying and that is the reason why she was able to get into this elite and prestigious college, which is known to be a place for rich people and for them only.

But you can’t deny the fact that she is a smart girl with more than an average IQ.
