Chapter 3 - Betrayed

"how dare you!!", Kyle shouted in utter disbelief so shocked that she seemed to ignore the fact that Richard just left here in pain, after discovering her secret.

I just walked out of there and ran to meet him he walked so fast that he had almost gotten to the main building were our classes where.

"Hey", I called out of breathe, panting intensity as I tried to catch my breathe and get a stable grip on myself so as not to fall down, I am all things, but not a sports girl.

"Thanks for what you did back there", he said as soon as he turned to me, a small smile that didn't reach his eyes.

"You're welcome, I just wanted to show you the kind of person she is I.. I... Also wanted to apologize for not telling you sooner, she blackmailed me and also for her awful actions...", I was saying when he interrupted.

"I understand", he said, turned around and walked away.

"Ahh" I sighed loudly as I stared at his graceful figure as it slowly faded away.

Like every girl, I also had a crush on him but he didn't even know who I was, yeah, how could he, I am a nobody.

Kyla being one of the most beautiful and popular students, she was able to capture his heart, and with her deceitful act unbeknownst to him he fell in love with her, though I don't like him anymore, I wish I was never part of their gang like they called themselves the Barbie dolls (Kyla and her friends) they made me join them by blackmailing me, making me their maid, and I had no choice but to be a part of them and they treated me as their slave most times.

Staring across the hallway, I went to my locker to get my textbook for the next class, then I walked down to class, I am tired of this school and life am going to another school to start afresh, I said with courage to myself then walked to my class hoping no one heard me as I walked in.

"Argh", I sighed bitterly as I left the principal's office later that day, I am finally free of this bondage, am heading to a new school where people would value me for who I am, I would miss some of my friends though, and Richard, I sighed hard, as I walked down the hallway to my locker to pack my things (books, pen and other stuffs) I stared at the hallway which was painted in violet and white which was also the colour of our school uniforms and the lockers and it seemed quite welcoming when I first got here I fell in love with the hallway, and then I remembered the way thing used to be and how Kyla and Richard were before, they were an inseparable pair and their lockers were next to each other, such an innocent guy didn't know he was being used.

He is probably heartbroken by now I guess, I just pray that he finds true love one day and the love he deserves, I said as I put my backpack on my shoulder supporting it with one hand on the strap if my bag and books in the other hand, like a nerd would do, I walked out and stared at the school one last time "Westfield high", I said reading the name of the school on the sign out loud, then remembered the first day I walked in it was just like yesterday.

I smiled and walked to my mum's car which was at the parking lot.

"Hey mum", I greeted then tossed my bag into the back sit and dropped my books as well and got in the passengers sit beside my mum.

"Hey sweetie", mum replied, though cheerful but she seemed worried about me.

"Are you sure you want to do this", she asked trying to make me rethink about my decision to go to another school.

"Yeah mum, it's better for all of us, besides am tired of being pushed around", I said honestly trying to reassure her that I made a good decision.

but I didn't tell her the details of how I was used.

"If you say so honey, what ever you want she said", then truned on the engine.

~Richard pov~

Rejected, betrayed, lonely, sad, angry, heartbroken, and hurt, I walked back to the boys hostel, then to my room ignoring the whispers I heard from the gossips i got as I walked down to my room, I didn't go back to the nurse's office, I just couldn't I opened the door with my key's in my pocket dejectedly and threw myself on the bed after closing the door.

Thinking back to when I went to find Kyla, I had searched the girls quarters but couldn't find her, and she wasn't in her room.

that's when I stumbled upon Brittany one of Kyla close friends though we didn't talk much I was conpelled to seek help from her, and she told me Kyla doesn't want to see me.

I felt pained but not the less I begged her, she reluctantly agreed and said I should give up on Kyla, but I didn't respond, how could she tell me to give up on a girl I loved so deeply I couldn't.

then she said she has something to show me and told me to follow her then she said that If I see Kyla, I should hide in a place where I could listen to their conversation, and that is when I discovered the truth that kyla is a two timer and lier, the pain I felt I couldn't withstand it as I cluched my chest while seating on the bed, then I looked at the frame of me and her on the night stand and took it and stared at her face with warmth before riping the picture apart.

"how could you do this to me??", I yelled asking no one but myself as tears well up in my eyes.

just then My bestie walked in and asked what had happened, and why I didn't come back, to the health center, that's when I told him everything that happened and he was so pissed that he stormed off.

Blabing something about going to teach her a lesson but I couldn't do anything, then my phone began to beep and I knew they were updates of the latest activity happening in the school in the school forum, and I also saw it earlier it was all about me and Kyla's breakup.

I called someone on my phone and told the person to clear it off the school forum.

Then I switched off my phone and threw it away, I didn't want any disturbance and then I lay on the couch, I wouldn't go to class today I just needed a drink, but I couldn't get up to get one so I just lay down there, waiting earnestly for the her to come back but it seemed impossible now.
