Jace’s POV

“Coach.”

I called the moment he walked in.

“Jace?” he called, surprised to see me.

“Where did you run off to? The team is waiting for you,” he said, sounding upset.

“I’m sorry, Coach,” I said.

I had turned back on the way to the ice rink when Austin came to tell me that Harper was being bullied again.

Coach stared at me.

I knew he was going to worry again, so I spoke first.

“I just wanted to change my shirt,” I told him.

He finally noticed I was only in my singlet and nodded with a

  • Stuck With My Bully Until Graduation   Clive is nice

    _Harper's POVThe instant I saw Gina lean to kiss him, I turned away, feeling a horrible ache in my heart.This was a mistake.I moved quickly to escape from there but collided into Zane and spilled the drink all over my body."Oh no!"Someone shouted.Immediately, eyes fell on us. I stared for a second, feeling overwhelmed all of a sudden, and tried to leave again.Zane stopped me."Where are you going? The party just started."I trembled a little."I'm sorry. I can't be here," I muttered and managed to walk out without colliding into anyone.As I stood outside, contemplating the best way to leave, my phone rang.It was Clive.My teary eyes stared at the screen and, without hesitating, I picked up and told him my location.It took a while, but Clive arrived and I got into the car.The second he saw my wet clothes, he took off his sweater and put it on me.I took off my wet jacket without thinking, exposing my body for a few seconds while I put the sweater on."Thanks." I turned to h

  • Stuck With My Bully Until Graduation   Let's go to war

    _Harper’s POVI stared at my reflection afterward, and I almost didn’t recognize myself.As I stepped out of Clive’s car in front of the school, I tried not to lose confidence as Clive had advised. My hair, which was usually straight, fell around my shoulders in soft curls.The slight waves gave me a different look. I could feel my features look sharper and my face look brighter.I looked down at myself, feeling strangely nervous.“You’re staring too much,” Clive said beside me.I turned to him.He leaned against the car with a satisfied smile, looking like he had been waiting for this exact reaction.“This is what my cousin should have done a long time ago,” he said, gesturing toward me.I rolled my eyes slightly, but I couldn’t stop the small smile forming.“Don’t get too confident,” I warned.He chuckled.“Just have fun with it, Harper.”I looked back toward the school entrance. My heart felt heavy. Dad, if you could see me now.I started walking toward the entrance and noticed t

  • Stuck With My Bully Until Graduation   What a jerk

    _Harper's POVI stood at the subway waiting for the bus with my luggage beside me. I had packed out of the Carters' house minutes after Jace ran out of the house.Marla didn't stop me."I will inform your mum to pick you up," she had said coldly.I stopped her."No."The last thing I want is for Mum to find out about this."Please, I will take care of this on my own."Marla had shrugged."Suit yourself."I stared at my phone and saw it was Mum.My heart flipped.Did Marla contact her? I picked up the phone slowly."Mum?" I said as soon as I picked up."It's Klaus," he said.I pulled the phone from my ear for a second before putting it back."Hey, Klaus," I said, trying to be cheerful."Your mum asked me to call you. She's at the hospital," he said.My hand tightened around the bag."What's wrong with her?" I asked hastily."It's nothing serious. Just a little accident. I'm with her," Klaus quickly assured.I sighed."You don't need to come if you don't want to. I will take care of he

  • Stuck With My Bully Until Graduation   Don't

    _Harper’s POVI took out my phone as Jace’s eyes followed my movement and glanced down at the screen. The second I read the message, color drained from my face.“Who is it?” Jace’s voice rang in my head.I was brought back from my shocked trance but didn’t answer his question. Panic slowly took over me.“Harper?” he called.I looked back at him, my fingers tightening around the phone.“It’s the school.”Before he could ask anything else, I dialed the number.“Hello?”I said quickly.My hand in Jace’s grip tightened into a clench, and worry invaded my gaze.“Yes… I don’t understand,” I said, breathing a little uneasily.I paused.“But why?” my voice cracked slightly as I demanded to know.The call ended a moment later after they asked me to meet with the principal instead. I finally lifted my gaze to Jace’s.“I need to go to school,” my voice quivered.“I’m coming with you,” he said sharply.I knew it was pointless to ask him not to, so I didn’t argue.—When we arrived at the schoo

  • Stuck With My Bully Until Graduation   Don't do that

    _Harper's POVI stood in front of the door, trying to hide my nervousness before walking into the room.The door opened suddenly, and the boys rushed out of there.They all greeted me with smiles and high-fives. I tried to keep up while struggling with my smile.Finally, Jace appeared.He pulled me into a kiss the moment he set his eyes on me."Hey," I pulled back after.I looked into his eyes, but my gaze fell away swiftly, feeling too guilty."Good luck," I breathed out.Jace chuckled."Thanks, but I don't need it. I'm the star player," he whispered the last part with a smirk.I tried to smile but failed. Jace must have noticed my uneasiness and asked,"Are you alright?"I shook my head, not wanting to ruin the game for him."Of course," I lied.He nodded and kissed me again before walking off.I stood there for a moment, took a breath before walking to the ice rink for the game.---Jace’s POVThe arena was louder than usual.The sound of the crowd echoed through the walls, their

  • Stuck With My Bully Until Graduation   What's real

    _Harper's POVSATs are in 54 days.I tried to concentrate on the books in front of me while waiting for Jace to finish practice and go home together.The quarter-final match is coming up soon, and Jace has been spending all his time with the team.After about an hour, I felt thirsty and hungry. Just as I was about to get up to get something, someone placed a muffin and sparkling soda in front of me.I looked up and was surprised to see Clive standing in front of me."Hey."I got up and wrapped my arms around him, excited and surprised to see him."What are you doing here?" I asked him, looking around.Clive smiled."Heard my cousin would be playing again, just came to show my support," he said.He settled on the seat in front of me, and I sat back down, taking the food."Thank you. This came at the right time," I said and took a bite of the muffin.Clive smiled again."I'm glad," he said gently.I was about to take another bite when Jace appeared and looked stupefied at Clive's prese
