I Trust in You
[ Belladonna's Point of View ]
"What's your favorite food?" Niana asked me while we were lining up to get our lunch in the cafeteria.
This girl whom I decided to be friends with is Niana.
I discovered that she is an orphan. She lives in an orphanage with other kids and religious adults.
If she leaves me like Jameson, I won't bargain myself again to trust anyone.
"I like ice cream," I replied.
"Really? Me too! Especially cookies and cream!"
I just faked a smile at her.
We got our lunch and went to a vacant seat in the cafeteria. This is my first time eating lunch made by the school. Ever since I started schooling, Jameson's grandma always made lunch for us.
"Uhm, Bella, may I ask about your friend?" Niana said after taking a bite of chicken nuggets.
"Who do you mean?"
"Jameson?"
"Yeah, actually, I don't know if he's a friend or what."
"Why did he die?"
That caught me off guard. I suddenly dropped my fork on the floor.
"Oh, sorry. I shouldn't have asked that." Niana said in regret and continued eating.
"He died because he was protecting me," I muttered while looking at the fork on the floor.
"Oh. Sorry to hear that. Anyway, I can get you another fork? Do you still need it?" Niana replied.
"No, I'm fine."
"Look who's eating here? The guts to eat in our place." I raised my head as soon as I heard that obnoxious voice.
I saw Angel and the other bummer ladies while holding a tray of food.
"What are you staring at, psychopath? Do you want us to drag you two away?" Angel lowered her gaze and raised her brows at us.
"Uhm, Bella, let's just move to another seat," Niana suggested and stood up from her seat.
"Nobody owns this cafeteria. First come, first serve." I mocked at them.
"Hmm, you won't go away, then you leave me with no choice. Ladies! Pour it on!" Angel smirked and clapped her hands.
I clenched my fists as I felt liquid flowing all over me.
"Aww, baby Bella. Come on, drink that milk."
I violently stood up, grabbed my box of milk, and splashed it all over them.
I went to Angel and grabbed her collar.
"Didn't I tell you to go out of my way? What are you doing? Pouring milk on me? Do you think that would make me feel scared?!" I widened my eyes and gritted my teeth as I said those words to her.
"Stop. Get Bella off me!!" Angel closed her eyes in fear and screamed.
After that, I felt hands firmly grabbing my arm, and I was pushed into the wall.
This group of bummers is surrounding me. I can't move!
"Hahaha! How many punches do you like? On the face? On the stomach? Or on your head?" A girl with a man-built body appeared in front of me while holding a long wood.
"Let me go." I calmly said and tried to remove my arms from their grip.
"After you disrespect our Angel, you expect us to just let you go without any pain? Pathetic." She replied and moved closer to me.
"Now, choose where we will hit you." She continued and pointed the long wood she was holding at my face.
"Tsk. Go on, hit me wherever you want!" I screamed at the top of my lungs and expressed an infuriated demeanor.
"Oh, look at the wild dog! She's now barking! Hahaha!" They laughed at me.
She raised her hands and ventured to hit me the wood, but the school bell rang.
I smirked at her.
"Saved by the bell, Bella. I'll see you outside the campus later." She grabbed my collar and pushed me.
"Y'all! Keep your mouths shut about what happened! Or else, I'll make sure you'll go dead with this rat right here." She shouted, and her voice echoed throughout the cafeteria.
They removed their grip off me, and I fell to the floor.
"Hey, Bella! Are you okay?" Niana said worriedly and came towards me, but before she could even lend a hand for me, I stood up and looked at her.
I don't need anyone to help and protect me anymore.
"Let's go to our next class," I told her like nothing had happened.
...
"Bella, why don't you just skip class and go home? You know, I'm just worried for you. They said they will meet you outside the campus later." Niana told me while we had our last class.
"I don't wanna escape the bullies. It's better to face them. They'll be getting what they want from me." I silently replied and smirked.
"What are you thinking?" She asked with a baffled face.
"Nothing. I'll just give them their satisfaction for now because it might be the last time they would experience happiness." I continued.
Classes were dismissed right away, and I saw Angel standing right in front of the school gate exit, waiting for me.
"Bella, are you sure about this? You know, I can call the police if you want."
I faced Niana and whispered in her ear, "Prepare your phone and follow us. Record everything that will happen. It might be used as a piece of evidence."
She nodded immediately, and I went towards Angel and her gang.
"Grab her, girls," Angel commanded to her foolish dogs.
They grabbed my arms and placed a handkerchief on my face. My eyesight went blurry, and I lost consciousness.
...
[ Niana's Point of View ]
Goodness, Bella. What on earth is she thinking?
I hid behind the table the moment she lost consciousness. I can't let them see me.
I took my phone out and started recording, even if I was shaking in fear.
"Carry her!" I was startled when I heard Angel scream to the other ladies.
They carried Bella, and I followed them while still recording. They headed to an abandoned building not so far from the school and went inside.
What the heck will they do to Bella?!
I was starting to feel so scared when I came closer to the entrance of the abandoned building. Everything is so dark and creepy. I feel like this building is going to collapse in no time.
I picked up all the courage I had left and stayed as silent as I could. I entered the building and followed them to the stairs going upstairs.
They went inside a room, and I hid behind a big ruined piano. They placed Bella on the floor and tied both her hands and feet.
"Hahaha! Oh my goodness, sister! I don't think you were as strong as I thought! Pathetic, you're going to die right now. I wonder what your reaction would be once we electrified you."
I gasped and abruptly covered my mouth. I don't know what to do right now. Should I call the police? What should I do?
Bella started moving her head and opened her eyes. She gazed around the area and laughed loudly.
This is the first time I hear her laugh.
"Hahahaha! Angel, how dare you do this to me?" She uttered.
"Can't you remember what you did to me? When you choked me to death? When I was confined in the hospital, and I discovered that my parents were dead? When you stabbed my boyfriend in his ear?" Angel bent over and held Bella's face tightly.
Bella almost killed her?
"Don't worry, this night won't be your usual night." She continued and pushed Bella to the wall.
"Girls, could you leave the both of us first, please," Angel commanded the others, and they went to a different room.
Angel sat on a chair and crossed her legs. She took out a box of cigarettes and started lighting one.
"You know, Bella? You ruined my life." She said while smoke was coming out of her mouth.
Bella just glared at her.
"What? You're not going to say anything? You're not going to apologize? Ever since you went to our house, our family got ruined. Do you think that's a coincidence?" Angel continued and smoked again.
"I have nothing to do with you or your family. Your family got ruined because of the sins you've done, and I don't see any reason why you don't deserve it at all." Bella replied to Angel, which caused Angel to get really mad.
She walked towards Bella again and sat in front of her.
"My family was perfect without you. Why do you have to live anyway? A useless, inhuman psychopath like you shouldn't even step in this world in the first place."
"Look who's calling me inhuman. Then what do you call yourself? You're worse than a pig!" Bella furiously uttered and moved her face closer to Angel.
Angel placed the burning tip of her cigarette in Bella's neck. I gasped again when I saw her do that. My hands were so wet and kept shaking.
Bella moaned in pain and tried to move her hands tied from behind, but it was useless.
Tears started to fall from my eyes as I was looking at her, helpless.
Maybe I should call the police.
"Do you feel pain, Bella?" Angel uttered and removed the cigarette from Bella's neck.
Bella moved her feet and forcefully kicked Angel's head. Angel fell down and hit her head on the floor, causing her to bleed and lose consciousness.
She immediately stood up, pulled out a blade from her pocket, and removed the rope tying her hands and feet.
I was about to stand up and go to her, but Angel's boyfriend and the other gangsters came towards Bella.
I hid again and moved backward while recording them.
Bella, I know you know what you're doing, so I won't call the cops now because I trust in you.
For now, I'll just record everything. This is what Bella told me to do.Download Novelah App
