Protegeofthedark

Freya Collymor and Eugene Hayes are worlds apart. She is the girl who has nothing while he is the boy who has everything. She’s got an abusive father. He’s got the best parents ever. She’s full of debt. He’s the heir to the biggest company ever. She’s got lashes all over her back. He’s got the looks of a model. She’s got no friends. He’s got a bunch full of followers and two loyal friends. She cannot call anyone her own to love. He’s got girls all falling on his feet.

He knows that he has it all. She knows that he has everything.
She knows that she has none at all. He knows that she has nothing.

He finds it amusing when he sees her writhe in pain. She finds it traumatizing to go to college just because of him.
He loves to bully her. 
She hates to be bullied.
He is the king.
She is just a beggar.

Both of them seem worlds apart.
Yet there is a connection between them.
A connection that made Freya’s life worse than college should have been.
A connection of past lovers who broke up with their hearts shattered completely into pieces.

You, my Bully

"Collymor, Freya Collymor" I introduced myself to the class.

"Caden, Givana Caden" I heard a girl say with a bubbly voice. She seemed to be a scholarship student.

I saw her on the bus with me. If she was a student who got in through money she would probably come to college through luxurious cars.

Elgans Comprehensive does not accept anyone who is mediocre. You have to be either the best in your studies or in your wealth.

Most people here come through wealth. Only five per cent of the total students come in through their academics.

I barely made it to Elgans Comprehensive. Someone cancelled their scholarship and I was next in line.

I am a beggar in Elgans Comprehensive. I neither have the brains nor the money. I got in through luck.

I could not make out the faces but I understood it was a group of boys standing in the doorway.

The teacher sighed before saying "What were these boys doing Hayes?"

" It's Hayes! He is in our class?" I heard a girl behind me squeak in excitement.

"I heard he got the first rank in a scholarship test but he refused to enter through scholarship! He is a saint for doing that!"

Seriously, can these girls stop gossiping? I know the Hayes family is rich but why make such a fuss? I sighed.

"I found them smoking in the corridor," Hayes said to the teacher confidently.

"Even though he refused the scholarship, he is still the year leader, right?" A girl whispered.

"Yes! I saw the batch of year leader on him."

"A Greek god! I am telling you I have never seen someone so handsome! I am going to put a letter today itself!"

"Come in and thank you Hayes for reporting it to me" the teacher sighed.

A group of boys came in with their heads hanging low. Only one of them had their head held high. Maybe that is Hayes.

"Hayes you can sit in your desired seat for now, the seating arrangements aren't decided of now."

At that moment I realised my college would be completely messed up.

Eugene Hayes. Eugene Brooks. They are the same person. Eugene Hayes is my ex. My ex, whose heart I shattered into a million pieces.

I froze in my seat as Eugene looked around to find a seat. His eyes met mine and for a moment I thought there was a hint of recognition in his eyes. But it turned back to his cold eyes.

No, don't sit here I mentally screamed realising there was an empty seat beside me.

But Eugene walked past me. He sat right behind me, with Kayla Hugo.

"Kayla" Eugene said a bit dismissively.

"I can already smell a couple," the girl in front of me said.

"Hugo and Hayes are going to be the perfect power couple! "

'Let's not forget both of them look like god and both of them have too much money!" the girl in front of me whined.

College is going to be completely messed up. I sighed at the thought of the boy behind me for whom my heart still beats fast.
