He took Bea's hand and walked away leaving Gladys screaming his name in anger
"It seems Cris cares a lot about this girl, he could take everything except an insult to this girl and here guys it's his weakness it is time to get revenge on all his bullies towards us," one guy said
"Bullies?? He never bullied us we rather did that to others. Guys I am out of this I am not going to be a part of this Cris has never bullied an innocent person and someone who just minds his business you know his comebacks are always so dangerous so why will I get involved especially when it looks like he likes this girl so much? Why will I play with death like that?" Isaac opted out
After taking Bea away from the rest to a quiet place he let go of her hand he was so angry that he kicked something
"You don't believe them, right? I promise I am innocent"
"I know but tell me more," he said trying to control his anger with a smile
She told him
"Has your father ever raised his hands on you"
She was quiet for a while before shaking her head
He smiled again when she looked at him, and she hugged him
"Thank you so much for defending, twice you have saved me and I am grateful"
"It's not twice it's once"
"No twice"
"How can the first one count for a save when I initiated it myself," he said but Bea was confused
"Thank you so much" She hugged him again but he pushed her off
"Stop being weird," he said with a smile that seemed like a playful mood for Bea and she left for her other class but before leaving
"Hey Bea next time you face such a situation fix it before running away I hate stains that are not mine," he said leaving her confused and left before she could ask what he meant
"Oh someone is angry again?" meek said
"Why are you always angry after meeting her," Nick said
"You know this is not love"
"Forgive me!!! If my love seems weird! But this is love and my love is true but I feel she is pathetic she is not loving me on her own but circumstances are making her to and that's not the love I want and I am angry because she has so many issues that am afraid I am going to react to and that's me showing weakness and they're going to come for her and my wickedness is going to show and I may do something that the person who is going to be in pain is going to regret
Till now no one has triggered me by making the first move but even though I am angry I am also happy because this time I am going to be the target and that my friend is how much I love her, my willingness to be chased and chase this time"
Cris just sat there smiling
"Will you go for her?" Nick asked
They were staring at Bea, school was over and Bea seemed to be waiting for someone that was not Anita she told Anita she could go ahead and that she needed to see someone
She reached out to her bag and picked up her phone
"Who is she waiting for?" Nick asked
"Me"
"How would you know? She has never waited for you before"
"She is going to call me"
Indeed she called him but he didn't pick
"Will you ride with me or are you waiting for your car?" Cris asked
"Aint you going to drop her off? Especially now that they will target her"
"I want her love not her dependency on me, she should fight so I can help her. When she falls for me more dangerous things will come her way if I am so busy protecting her who's going to protect me? We will sink and I can't do that now I have a massive revenge to take
Don't forget that" he dropped him off
"This will be the only reason that will make me think you truly love her" Nick said
He was speeding when dropping Nick off
"You want to get back to her, I saw how you were looking on your watch phone you are tracking her every move and you didn't want to go with her because you didn't want to prove to those guys that yes you are afraid that they might harm her, I know you more than the others and Cris that's why you share even your fears with me" Nick said and laughed shaking his head as he went inside
"Why the heck is she still there when I ain't picking her calls?"
After a while Bea got disappointed and decided to leave on her way she was thinking about him and why today he couldn't pick her up
"Did he believe them? No Bea maybe he's just occupied. Oh Bea since when did he became all you think about"
She wanted to clear her mind so she walked a little, Cris came to the campus and she was not there but he saw her
His facial changed to a peaceful one
"I know tracking you without your knowledge is wrong but I am worried sick about you if I knew I was ever going to meet you in my life then I wouldn't have lived a dangerous life like this despite my desire for revenge"
