Chapter 44
Renee’s POV
“Don’t you have better things to do than hitting him all the fucking time, huh?” Everyone turned to look at me in shock as I stood in front of the crowd where the fight was going on.
The students crowded Shane and Kyle without even bothering to interfere or put an end to the fight. They all feared Kyle and never tried to meddle in his affairs or cross his path.
“Get the fuck away from him” I added.
His muscles tightened at my command and he was forced to pause his hand in midair. He didn’t turn to look at me but I could tell he was raging inside. He finally lowered his hand and quietly stood on his feet.
Shane’s face was bloody, especially his nose. I could bet it was broken, poor boy. He’s been at rest for the past few days until the moment Kyle decided to show up in school.
Kyle Lindton is fucking handsome, I’ll give him that. He’s a sexy, aggressive, pompous dickwad.
“That’s the bitch, Kyle,” Kendall glared from behind him. She had been trying to stop her twin from beating up the poor boy but to no avail. “That’s the bitch that laid her filthy hands on me. She needs to be taught a lesson”
I laughed in my mind and turned to look at her. If only she knew that her brother helped my ass earlier, she wouldn’t be blabbing her dick-sucking mouth. But the thing is, would he even recognize me?
Kyle straightened his leather jacket and finally swiveled around to glare at me. His green eyes were so cold and he looked so different compared to the guy that saved me from Galante’s men.
“I’ll list a few ways to teach her a good lesson. How about you roast her mouth?” Kendall giggled and clasped her hands in excitement. “Sounds like so much fun”
I noticed the look in his eyes changed. He furrowed his brows and kept staring at me with an unreadable expression on his face. What was going on in his fucking mind? I wondered.
Ignoring his bitch of a sister, he walked up to me and was now standing an inch away. Kendall laughed heartily and crossed her arms, expecting the drama to unfold but instead, he tucked both hands inside his trouser pocket and leaned closer to scrutinize my face.
Everywhere was so quiet and even a pin drop could’ve been heard. The students waited eagerly, anticipating the worst to happen. I just fucking interfered in Kyle’s business and that was like seeking death.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
He stared at me longer than expected and I stared back, our eyes boring into each other. He was so huge with green psychotic eyes but I wasn’t a bit intimidated. Hell, I even wanted to kick him on the dick, just to see how his eyes would react to pain. Will it still be this fucking cold and hard? I doubt that.
From the corner of my eyes, I saw Shane raising his back from the floor and resting on his elbow. He was looking in our direction so I turned to look at him. I noticed his eyes were unusually cold and he was glaring at us, especially Kyle. There was also this dark expression on his face but I couldn’t tell what it was.
I turned back to look at Kyle just when he said the words only I could hear “You look well to me” And with that, he turned around and walked away, leaving me and everyone else in surprise.
What does he mean by that? Does he recognize me? I kept asking myself as I stared at his retreating figure. Everyone stared in awe, each having a different thought in mind.
Did Kyle just walk away without trying to hurt me?
“What just happened?” Ash asked, coming to stand beside me. “For a moment there, I died because I was expecting him to roast your mouth”
I turned to look at Kendall as Ashley laughed her ass out. Her hands were fisted beside her and anger was evident on her face. If eyes could kill, I’d be dead right now.
“What are you waiting for? Run along, puppy”
She opened her mouth to speak but then she closed it back in defeat. When she finally turned around and stalked off, we laughed our lungs out, Shane, long forgotten.
“OMG, Shane!” Layla rushed forward with Theo following behind her. Look who’s late for the party?
They got over to where Shane still sat on the floor and my eyes followed, they landed on Shane who was staring at me. A shiver worked down my spine and I shivered a little.
His eyes were cold and I was surprised when he didn’t look away like he used to. Instead, he moved away before Layla could touch him and grabbed his books which were scattered on the floor.
Without sparing a glance, he walked off with the same unreadable look on his face. He looked so different from the nervous boy I used to tease and play with. What happened to Shane?
After Shane left, Layla and Theoden asked a few students what had happened and when they finally got the gist, Layla turned to glare at me while Theoden gave Ashley the same odd look he’s been giving her since I arrived here. He winked at me and I smiled, giving him the middle finger.
“Is it just me or you never get along with Layla?” Ashley asked after the two had left. “What’s with you guys?”
“Well… I don’t think it’s just you, Ash. I’ve been noticing you and Theo. Care to tell me why you two keep trying to murder each other when you cross the same path?”
She sighed deeply and looked away. I took that as a clue that she wasn’t ready to say shit about it. She was keeping secrets and I knew that pretty well.

“Are you just gonna keep ignoring me?” I asked and went to stand in front of him. He averted his eyes quickly and turned to walk in the opposite direction.
“Shane fucking Dalton, don’t you dare!”
The students that stood around turned to look at us and he sighed, stopping dead on his track. I followed him here and waited for him to clean up his bloodied face but even after he was done, he wouldn’t fucking answer or look at me.
I sighed and raised my hand to touch his face but he flinched and took a step backward. “Are you fucking okay? Cause it seems like the beatings knocked some senses out of you”
He only stared at me with those blue eyes of his, causing another shiver to work down my spine. Does he even know the things he does to me by just giving me those innocent looks?
My mind flashed back to what could’ve happened in the kitchen some days ago and my cheeks flushed. Fuck Layla and her stupid voice for ruining everything.
“What did he say to you?” He asked, pulling me out of my thoughts.
“Huh? Who?”
He opened his mouth to speak but then he sighed and shook his head. “Nevermind”
What?!? No way!
But before I could force the words out of him, he had already walked off, leaving me behind. I cursed under my breath and folded my arms under my br*asts. Who the fuck was he talking about?
