Pregnant For My Bully

Amelia Forbes

I was determined to make everything go right today. Maybe not perfect. But just right.

Hopefully, good enough to not get into trouble with anyone; Kimberly or Jason.

I didn’t think I could take any insults or bullying right now. I was weak; physically, mentally, emotionally. You name it. I needed a break from it all.

Which was why I’d rounded up the remainder of the project over the weekend. All that was left to do now was fill out Jason’s project manual, as I had filled out mine already, and give him a summary of everything I’d done in case we were required to present it in class.

As I walked through the hallway with the homework from last week-we were asked to write an essay-I searched for Jason to hand his to him.

Easiest way to stay safe from trouble with Jason? Find him before he found you.

If he asked me for it first, it’d only be another opportunity to pick on me. And that’s exactly what I was trying to prevent.

I checked all the places he could be; the bleachers, empty classrooms. Finally I found him in a stairwell, discussing with Adrian.

I took in a sharp breath as I sighted Adrian. I hadn’t talked to him since that day in the library. A part of me felt like I should apologize, especially after what Nana had said to me.

But. . . it was best to stay this way as I didn’t want any issues with Adrian.

Breathing deeply, I approached them. Jason rolled his eyes and let out a sharp hiss as he saw me.

Adrian, on the other hand, didn’t betray any emotions he may have been feeling. His expression remained blank.

I tried to control my beating heart as I handed Jason his homework. He scowled and snatched it from me.

“Thanks,” He muttered, forcing a smile.

I froze for a second. Did Jason Davenport just thank me? I wondered in amazement. My eyes widened as I stared at him not believing it. What was he playing at?

He glared at me and glanced at Adrian.

Oh. I understood.

He was trying to keep up appearances because Adrian was here.

Of course, I thought, feeling stupid. His best friend didn’t know that he made me do all his homework. I restrained from slapping my forehead.

Why would Jason thank me?

Gosh Mel, you’re so stupid.

I nodded, avoiding Adrian’s eyes as I turned around and walked away.

I hid my surprise as Amelia walked away after handing me my homework. I’d almost forgotten that it was due today.

I wondered what was up. Amelia handing me my homework before I’d asked for it? It was strange, yes.

But what I’d found even more interesting was the fact that Adrian hadn’t said a word to her. He was usually always all smiles to see her. And he never forgot to say hi or ask how she was doing every time he saw her.

Trouble in paradise? I almost laughed, observing him carefully.

I could see that Amelia was doing just as I’d told her to; staying far away from Adrian and avoiding any form of conversation with him.

Good. At least the bitch was learning how to obey orders.

But Adrian? He was always on Amelia’s side every single time something related to her came up. So I found it weird that he suddenly decided to ignore her existence; hadn’t even said one word to her.

Trying to phrase it as casually as possible, I asked, “What’s up?”

He cocked an eyebrow, confused. “With what?”

“You and Amelia,” I said, scrolling through my phone to avoid looking so interested.

“Nothing. Why?” He answered in the same tone.

Why was he lying to me? It was obvious something was going on. And I wanted to know what it was.

“Well she was just here, and you didn’t even say a word to her. It’s weird that’s all,” I shrugged, peeking at him from the corner of my eye to see his reaction.

He only laughed.

“Nothing’s wrong, man. Why are you so interested anyway? I thought my friendship with her bothered you.”

I hid a grin. I saw what he was doing. Posing a question to avoid answering mine.

I could guess that Amelia had followed my orders, staying away from him as I’d asked her to. And he probably felt slighted by it.

I shrugged to avoid his question. “If you say so, no issues,” I laughed, patting his back.

He’d get over it, I thought. And he’d see that Amelia wasn’t worth it. As a matter of fact, she wasn’t worth anyone’s time.

And when Adrian realized that, he’d be okay.

I smiled at him and resumed our conversation saying, “We should go look for the gang.”

Adrian shrugged, not looking so keen.

“Come on,” I insisted, placing one arm on his shoulder and jogging down the stairs.

The day had gone tolerably well. Well except for when Kimberly had dipped the ends of my hair in black paint during art class. By mistake, she claimed.

Well now, I had temporary highlights thanks to her. I should’ve known that I couldn’t escape Kimberly. She’d always find a way to ruin my day.

And I knew that the only reason why I’d escaped Jason today was because he had spent nearly the entire day with Adrian by his side.

Thank goodness for that. So I guess I could say that this was the most tolerable day I’d had in a very long time.

We’d been given homework today. And as soon as I had free time, I’d raced to the library and done Jason’s, handing it to him as soon as I saw him and liking the confused expression on his face.

He couldn’t hurt me or do anything because I hadn’t done anything wrong.

If I could carry on like this for the remaining 165 days, I could come out okay.

I grabbed the books I would need for the project today.

This might be the last day of the project because I’d rounded up already.

If I could get it all done today, I, wouldn’t have to go to Jason’s house anymore.

And that sweet relief would be worth all the stress I was going through right now.
