All Chapters of The Bully's Redemption : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Hannah’s POVThe next morning felt… lighter.Not because everything was okay.But because Serena was awake.And laughing again.The second she showed up at my door, she didn’t even say good morning—she just hugged me like she hadn’t seen me in years.Tiffany immediately blinked.“Is she possessed?”Maya leaned closer.“Are you okay?”Serena pulled back and rolled her eyes.“Yes. I’m fine.”Tiffany narrowed her eyes.“You’re too fine.”She even reached forward and touched Serena’s forehead like she was checking for fever.Serena slapped her hand away.“I said I’m fine.”Maya softened.“Serena…”Serena exhaled, then shrugged.“I’m not going to fall apart over this. I’m going home for the funeral… I’ll be strong.”The room went quiet for a second.Even Tiffany didn’t joke.Maya stepped forward and hugged her tightly without saying anything.Then, softly—“Can we come with you?”Serena paused.“I’ll ask my mum.”That was all she said before changing the topic like she was scared of stayin

Hannah's POVThe next day I had to wake up very early — first reason was because I had class, and the second was because Tiffany was screaming her heart out.I woke up to see her on headsets while doing her tech thing, and it was as if she didn't care who heard her or not. It was like hearing a hawk singing, unless with Tiffany it was ten times worse. And the surprising thing was that it didn't wake Maya up — as I looked across the room she was just sleeping like an angel while I was suffering.But after like an hour or so, after I had finished bathing and all, as I came out of the bathroom she was already awake and in the middle of smacking Tiffany with her pillow and Tiffany was trying not to laugh. I looked at the situation and asked the first thing that came out of my mouth."What did she do this time?"Tiffany gasped with her hand on her heart."Oh my God… Hannah!!""What, you might've done something," I said chuckling."She threw her pen at me," Maya said."Well in my defense yo

Hannah's PovAfter the whole encounter at Zach's house that night, we came back to my dorm and Serena had said she was staying over because Nia had texted to tell her that her girlfriend was over and she needed some alone time, so that meant Serena had stayed over. That night we didn't even get to finish stepping foot inside the dorm room — Tiffany had bombarded us with questions, and so because I told Serena beforehand that she couldn't say anything to them, she made up with a series of answers from her head that surprisingly even Maya believed. After the whole thing we all went to bed.The next day was a Friday, and luckily for me and Serena our Jurisprudence professor wouldn't be able to come because his wife just gave birth — or at least that's what the class representative said. So basically no class for the day, because normally we would have five hours on that class. To say I was relieved was an understatement. I really can't imagine myself sitting for five hours today. Serena

Hannah's POVThe next day was Saturday, and I didn't really have anything to do. Evelyn called and said I could take the day off today because she was taking Madison to her play date with her friends, so I had nothing to do, but I liked it. It was peaceful. And if you're asking why, it's because Tiffany was out with her tech friends — according to her she has a group thing — while Maya was on her phone doing whatever.It was quiet and peaceful until Serena barged into the room like she owned it — well, technically she does — and the first thing she said was —"We are going out." She smiled so hard it brought out the dimples I never even knew she had.I looked at her like she was dumb, then I looked at Maya, then I looked at Serena again."Are you talking to us?" I pointed to me and Maya.She looked around, then looked at me and Maya."Uhm… duh, stupid, of course I'm talking to the both of you." She went straight to my closet.I stood up from my bed to go meet her."Do you mind telling

Hannah's POVSunday mornings in our dorm had a specific kind of energy.Slow.Unbothered.The kind where nobody felt guilty about staying in bed past ten because there was nowhere to be and nothing demanding anything from you.Serena had stayed over after the game — she said she was too tired to walk back to her own dorm and honestly I didn't argue because I didn't have the energy to either. She was curled up at the foot of my bed with Maya's spare blanket, phone in hand, doing that thing she'd been doing since last night where she smiled at the screen and then immediately tried to look like she wasn't smiling.She was doing it again right now.I watched her for a second."Just text him back," I said without looking up from my own phone.She looked up."I don't know what you're talking about.""You've reread the same message four times."She looked back down."I'm just thinking of what to say.""You never think about what to say."A pause."He's different," she said quietly.I didn't
