Raven's P.O.V.

Days passed.

My periods are over. And I am more than happy.

From that day, Ryan and forced Ryder are doing everything in their might to earn my forgiveness. They are trying their best and it literally getting hard for me to ignore them. Alex , Ivan and Pari are always with me.

When I asked Pari about Grace, Alice and Ella. She told me, they went Brazil for a little break. They will be back in a month or something. And I am happy that, their friendship is now good.

While about Brian and Danny, I am ignoring them as much as I can.

We are right now in our Chemistry class.

From we, I mean Pari and me.

Alex is in maths while Ivan is in Physics.

She is writing what Mrs. Jones is writing on the board. Well, same goes to me. I am also writing. I am not sitting there idle. But the difference is, her handwriting is like pearls while mine is like spider is crawling.

"Pariii, I am bored" I mumbled.

"I know" her reply.

We started minding our business.

"Pariiiii, I am hungry" I whinned, keeping my head on the desk.

"When you are not ?" She replied, smirking.

I whinned again but she ignored me.

It's not her fault. This is my daily routine.

She is so used to with it.

I pout and started doodling on my desk.

"Raven, start writing" Pari mumbled to me.

"You are writing, right ?"

"Yes, that's why I am telling you that you should write too" She said, bluntly.

Meet Pari. This is her strict topper side.

"No, my fingers are aching babes" I groaned.

"Dramatic much" Pari rolled her eyes.

"Stop talking, students" Mrs. Jones said, again turning to the blackboard.

I sighs as I closed my eyes.

"Psst"

"Psst"

"Pssstttt"

I opened my eyes and looked beside me.

Pari raised her eyebrows at me.

I squinted my eyes at her.

"What ?"

"Did you whistle at me, right now ?" I asked her.

She looked at me for a second before shooking her head and continued her work.

"Wow" I muttered and again put my head on my table.

Just after a second, I again heard whistle.

What the fuck !!!

I again looked at Pari.

She is doing her work.

"Can you please avoid staring at me like creep ?" She suddenly said, making me scoff.

"Raven" I immediately turned my left side hearing whisper of my name.

And guys, there is the culprit.

"Raven, you are cute, please forgive me"

"23rd" Pari said making my head snapped towards her as I looked at her in disbelief.

"What ? I was just counting" she shrugged.

I turned my head to that culprit.

"Seriously Ryder ?" I looked at him in disbelief.

He glared at me out of habit. But shrugged like nothing happened.

Yes, Ryder is also in this class.

And from that day, he is behaving totally different. I mean, like he is not his own self. A total different one. I mean, like- ohhh fuck I don't know what to tell and how to explain this.

In short, this is 23rd time in 2 days when he is complimenting me, before apologizing.

I don't even know what's going on in his mind. But I am ignoring it. Atleast trying to ignoring it.

Bell rings as everyone slowly started leaving the class.

we came out of the class as Pari packed her bag

"They are on Football ground, let's go" we sprinted there.

"Hey beautiful Girls" Alex winked.

"Hey Beautiful Girls' Ugly Bestfriends" I winked back. Pari giggled at that, while boys just glared at me.

"You know what, who said you are a girl ? The only girl present here is Pari" Ivan smirked at me.

I glared at him.

"I am a girl"

"You are not" Alex argued.

"I am"

"Am not"

"I am"

"Am not"

"I am"

"Am not"

I smirked and "Am not"

"Yes, we know you are not" Alex laughed at me.

"Aww, do you think you can play this word game with us, baby ?" Ivan cooed at me. Faked.

I glared at him.

"I think that this baby here, yes our lovely, Raven Wilson. She forgets that the principal of the school in which she is studying now has taken tuition from us." Both laughed at Alex's statement and highfived each other.

I glared at both of them.

"I. AM. NOT. A BABY" I stomped my feet as well as crossed my hands on my chest.

"And we believe you" Ivan said as again they both laughed.

"Heyyy, don't laugh at my bestfriend, guys" My bestfriend, Pari defended me, as I give them smug look.

"Pari, but she is baby" Alex told her. Seriously.

"Heyy, don't offend her." She again defends me.

I Smirk at them.

"Pari, but-" She raised her hands in mid to stop Ivan.

"No buts Ivan, Babies Never like to hear that they are babies. They loves to hear that they are Big girl, isn't it Rav ?" She winked at me.

I stared at her. The smirk that was earlier on my lips, long gone. I looked at her in disbelief.

Did she just betray me ?

Alex and Ivan looked shocked for a second before laughing their ass out.

I looked at all of them before turning my heels towards another bench. I scoffed at them and sit on that bench, alone, before scrolling through my Instagram.

They laughed more.

I ignored them.

They are babies. Not me. I mean they are seriously talking on this topic ? I mean, Which types of adult talks on such a topic ? This is so childish. I rolled my eyes at their antics.

Ugghhh ! I hate these guys.

"Hey babygirl" my head snapped towards the voice.

There is a boy standing infront of me, smirking.

I frowned.

Before I could tell anything, he made himself comfortable beside me on the bench.

"You are hot, baby" He winked at me.

"I know. Tell me something I don't know." I looked at him, bored.

He looked taken aback, like he didn't expect me to say this.

I know he is flirting, but I am bored right now, so why not enjoy.

"Your eyes are so preety" He said sweetly.

I smirked "Those eyes can be a scary too, you know"

He frowned at me.

"Just kidding, you continue" I shaked my head.

"Ohh yeah, where was I, yes on your eyes, well they are pretty. I mean literally pretty. I mean look at it-"

"Ok, I get it, my eyes are pretty. Now move on from my eyes, dude." I stated bluntly.

"Uh oh ye-yeah sure. You have pretty body." He smirked suddenly.

I raised my eyebrows at him.

"Your hairs are beautiful. Natural black as well as wavy, just the way I loveee" He smirked, suddenly touching my hairs.

Ok, now he is getting out of line.

"Ok, I got it, now leave" I said as I tried to push his hand away from my hair.

But he hold my both wrist in his one hand as my eyes widened in panick.

"No, now you have to listen to me. Your lips- Ahhh so juicy. I just want to taste it≈" He moaned going to touch my lips.

"Leave me, you bitch, I am warning you-"

"Ssshhh baby, let's just enjoy" he said going to touch my both cheeks with his hands.

But before his hand could come to my skin's contact,

"Yes baby, let's enjoy" I looked up to the source of someone's familiar voice, only to see Ivan held his left hand while Alex had his right.

That boy looked up. He glared at them, annoyingly.

"Who are you ?" He demanded, angrily.

"None of your business, baby" Alex mocked him, tightening his hold on his wrist.

"Agghh why the fuck are you here ?" He asked totally irritated.

"To give you taste, baby" Ivan smirked.

He clenched his fist as he glared at them.

"Listen, I am busy right now, leave my hands" He gritted his teeth.

"Oh really, let's see what are you busy with ?" They smirked and made him stand up.

He was thin compared to Alex and Ivan. So, it was not difficult for them to made him stand up inspite of his struggles.

They both sat down beside me, crossed legs and started staring at the boy.

"WHAT THE FUCK ? I SAW HER FIRST, SHE IS MINE-" Before he even complete his sentence, a punch landed on his cheeks, making his head snapped towards his right.

Alex glared at him while Ivan just sat there, keeping his hand on my shoulders.

Alex again punched him harder this time.

Pari came near me.

"Do you want more huh ?" Alex gritted his teeth as he again punched him hard, making his lips bleed.

"Alex enough now, leave him" I immediately stood up, seeing blood on Alex's knuckles.

I held his arms to calm him but he ignored me. So, I hugged him from back and as expected, he calmed himself down.

He picked him from the ground by his collar and leaned near his ear.

That boy's eyes widened as he immediately backed off and ran away.

"What did you said to him ?"

I asked him, narrowed my eyes.

He smirked at me "That, he deserves someone better"

My eyes widened as I hit him hard on his arms.

"Owww bitch, it hurts" He said smacking on my head.

"IT HURTS TOO" I yelled at him, rubbing my head.

"Good" He said, as he hit me again.

"The Fuck-"

"Shut up" Ivan scolded me, out of sudden.

I glared at him.

He pinched my ears.

"Oww Ivan, it hurts, oww, leave me" I cried.

"If that boy is touching you, don't you know how to fight back, huh ?" He said as he twisted my ear.

"Aahhh it hurts it hurts, leaveeee" I pouted.

He stared at me, before sighing and leave my ear.

I rubbed it.

"He is right, why didn't you fight back ?" Pari asked me.

"I don't know" I muttered. I literally don't know. I mean it's possible that before I could do anything, they came for rescue.

I again felt smacked as I looked up, irritated.

"What ?"

"I don't know" Alex mocked me.

"Literally Rav, I am not joking, why didn't you just hit him on his balls ?" Ivan again asked me, seriously.

I smiled cheekily.

"Because, I know you both are there to protect me" I beamed, showing my dimples to them.

Ivan's eyes soften, while Alex chuckled.

Pari smirked knowing very well that what I am trying to do.

"Aww, Did our Baby was waiting for her big brothers to protect her ?"

Alex mocked as I hit him again.

They laughed and engulfed me in their embrace.

My Safe place. My safe heaven. In their arms. Well protected. Away from Cruelty. In warm and comfort.
