As we walked inside I felt as if I was been stared at, I turned my head and sure enough his piercing gaze was on me , he stood tall among a group of jocks who were discussing some stuff in loud voices

I quickly averted my gaze feeling blood rush into my face, I scurried into the hallway his burning gaze still boring holes into my back

**************************

I chewed on the base of my pen as Mrs Clark continued her history class, I wouldn't say I was paying attention when a pair pair of intense blue gaze was pinned on me the whole class......

I just want this class to end as quickly as possible, I looked up when my name was mentioned

"Miss Evans would you mind seeing me at my office after this class is over?"she said and I nodded

Immediately the bell rang I packed my stuff, I tried not to look in his direction as I prepared to follow Mrs Clark to her office

"Graciela you are such a bright student,but I noticed that your test and assignment scores are dropping, is there a problem with you?"

"I really want to help you ,you are my best student but even in class today I noticed that you were absent minded, can you tell me what it is, does he have anything to do with Hayden McAndrew returning?"

My eyes widened in surprise at her words

"Of course I'm not blind, he keeps staring at you, are your grades dropping because you entered a relationship with him?"

"No!"I blurted out

"I'm not in any relationship with him, at least not the kind you are thinking of, h...he bullies and make my life difficult all t..the time"

Her gaze softened at my words and she patted my shoulders gently

"I'm really so sorry, but these things are often common in schools,you shouldn't let it affect you, he'll stop before you know it"

"He won't!" I cried

"You don't know him...can you really help me Mrs Clark?maybe speak to him or something or perhaps......"

"Calm down, take a deep breath Gracie....Alright I'll see what I can do"she said

I exhaled loudly, perhaps if she speaks to him .......

I felt relieved so at this moment.....

"But you must make up for your low test scores in this upcoming class excursion ,you want to get into a good university don't you?"

"Thank you so much" i said much gratefully before she dismissed me....

Lunch break was almost over so I skipped going to the cafeteria but if I were to admit I just don't want to be in the same confinement as him.....

I entered inside the bathroom to freshen up a bit, I stared at my expression , I was eating less lately but I still wasn't seeing any difference , I was still the same.....fat and ugly....

*************************

Thankfully he wasn't in my next class and the next and finally the bell rang for dismissal , I packed my books into my locker and proceeded outside where Lyn was already waiting for me, but I didn't get to reach her when i felt a harsh grip on my arm

"Hayden let go of me!"

Without saying a word he continued dragging me until we stopped before an expensive looking car which I guessed was his....

"Get out"he said rudely to Brittany who was just outside the door

She looked at me with a disgusted look before turning back to Hayden
