She was about to fall, but a strong pair of arms wrap around her stopping her from colliding with the ground.
He couldn't stop staring at her.
The way she shut her eyes waiting to collide with the ground, the way her small amazonian figure fit perfectly in his arms and her lips, it looks blossom soft, would it taste just as soft, Charles thinks to himself.
Karen was expecting to collide with the ground but then a muscular pair of arms saved her. She opened one eye to look at her savior, oh it's just Charles, she relaxes in his arms but then realized.
It's Charles.
She quickly stands on her feets.
"T-t-thank y-you". Karen shuttered.
"What happened to you, you have-- he stopped and tasted the smoothie on her hoodie (A/N: it actually rhymes)-- smoothie on you and remove the hoodie or you'll catch a cold". Charles asks concern.
When she tried to make out words tears started flowing down uncontrollably from her eyes.
Charles embraces Karen. He helps her remove her hoodie then wrap his arms around her in a protective way.
Karen's body vibrated as she sobs. About from her late best friend, she had never really had a shoulder to cry on. She never tells anyone everything that happens in school. Her Dad and late Mom know that she doesn't have a lot of friends but not about their princess getting bullied. She only told Mrs Williams about it, but even Mrs Williams doesn't know how intense it was.
She wasn't only crying for what they did to her today, she cried her heart out for all the insults she has ever received, for all hurtful words she has ever been blown with, for all the times they have embarrassed her and for all the physical pains they've ever caused her.
She can't handle it anymore. They have embarrassed her times without number.
"Hey hey, don't cry". Charles pats her back in a smoothing way.
His heart twisted, he couldn't bare to see her in so much pain. He'll definitely hurt whoever did this to her.
They stayed like that for a long time until Karen calmed down. People walking pass them threw weird, questioning and judging looks at the pair but they couldn't care any less. It felt perfect to them.
Karen was the first to break the hug. "T-thank you". She smiles but didn't dare to meet his eyes. She suddenly felt nervous around him.
"Who did this". He demands.
"T-ti".
"Tina right, who else would be this cruel". He finishes it for her.
"Am definitely going to teach that bitch a lesson". Charles growls.
"Please don't do anything, I've been through worst". Karen begs.
"We'll leave that for later, but now here wear this". Charles says removing his hoodie and giving it to her.
"Let's get you cleaned up".
He accompanied her to the bathroom and then left.
She entered inside and cleaned all the strawberry smoothie that had touched a few stands of her hair.
After cleaning up she washed her face and then put Charles hoodie on.
She was immediately evolved by his expensive yet calming cologne.
He smells so goood, Karen thought. If there's a way, she would never give this back to him. His scent is like an addiction to her. She couldn't stop perceiving his cloth.
Am such a weirdo, karen thinks to herself.
There's still few minutes, everyone must be worried about her.
Karen was shocked to see Charles waiting for her when she came out of the ladies room.
"You were waiting for me". Karen makes her presence known.
"Oh yeah…". Charles trails off. She looks so damn hot in my cloth, Charles thinks to himself.
She looked so small in his cloth and that made her look extra cute.
"You can keep the hoodie, it looks way better on you".
"Thanks". Karen smiled, but her inside flipped with joy. She felt her face turning warm at his intense gaze. She gets to keep his cloth, yay.
They walked together to the cafeteria hand in hand.
When they entered all eyes turned to them.
Oh yeah, typical high school. Everyone must have heard of what happened by now.
Karen unconsciously held Charles hand due to the pressure of the gazes.
"What are you wearing". Tina asks.
"My hoodie, do you have a problem with that". Charles reply's raising his eyebrows. Before you know it, Charles friends and Karen's friends were standing beside them.
When Tina stood up, her minions also followed suit as though it was their duty.
"Yes I do have a problem. Why would she wear my boyfriend's cloth". Tina says pointing at Karen.
This girl has no shame, he was trying to control his anger but she's making it harder.
"And what part of we are over don't you get". Charles was loosing his cool.
Karen touched his arm which sent shivers through his body. It calmed him down a bit surprisngly.
Tina grips Karen's arms and pushes her away from Charles, making her almost fall in the process.
But Charles was fast to help her balance.
"Ain't you even ashamed, your taking her side over mine. And since when does we're over mean things have ended, I thought it means we're on a break". Tina pouts batting her fake lashes.
"Tina can you please go away before I do something crazy. And this should be the last time you do anything to Karen or her friends".
"And your threatening me because of her. You'll definitely pay for this. Especially you Karen, you all would regret messing with me". Tina growls and leaves almost in tears.
They all watched as she exited the cafeteria.
They finally made it to their table and sat down.
"Damn I hate that girl". Tyler growls.
"Same, she'll do anything to get what she wants". Michael says.
"So shall we start making a plan to deal with that bitch". Sophia says dragging all their attention to her.
"Am guessing you already have a plan". Anna says.
"Yap".
"Alright spill". Tyler says sitting straight.
"So our plan would take place at the party tonight. She's going right". Her question was directed to Charles.
"Yeah, almost everyone in the school would be there". Charles reply's.
"Great". Sophia rubs he hands together. Who knew the girl could be this crazy.
"And we can call this operation bully the bully". Anna was getting excited. She knows whatever Sophia has in mind would be crazy.
"Nah, I think operation bully the bitch would be better". Michael says.
"Yeah, it sounds more interesting and evil". John says.
"Alright, operation bully the bitch is a go"....
