Bad Boy Isn’t My Type

Jennie Wilson POV

The ubiquitous sounds of children playing here filled the park, as I waited for Hayden.

The time ticked by, but there was no sign of Hayden. It was 9:00 pm now he told me to be here at 8, I was in the right place as he instructed me, but he wasn’t present.

Where are you Hayden??

I called him several times, it was ringing but he wasn’t picking up the call. I sighed, the evening breeze caressing my skin in soothing waves, giving me peace I hadn’t felt for a long time, lulling me into thinking that everything was going to be all right.

My heart said Hayden would be here any moment, maybe he is stuck somewhere. I wanted to see him badly now matter what.

Suddenly rain showered up, making me yelp and I hid under a tree which was near the laughing Buddha statue. I was still not ready to leave the park, the exact location…… just to wait for him.

He will come back, he must come back, it didn’t matter if I get drenched in rain or not, only mattered me was Hayden now.

Several minutes ticked by now…… but still no presence of him. Suddenly my stomach region vibrated, the phone buzzing inside my sweater ringing tone hitting my ear high. I had hid it inside my sweater due to rain.

It must be Hayden!

I tried to even my breathing, my heartbeat too fast as I was struggling to take my phone out of the sweater clumsily.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

A usual feeling of disappointment settled in the pit of my stomach, dousing what little hope I’d had. It was Harper, not Hayden on my calling screen.

” Hello”

” Where are you??? Its raining heavily! You didn’t tell us too…… Do you know what time is!?”

I looked at my phone it was 11:30, I was so into waiting for him that I lost the track of time. I tried not to let hurt permeate me. I bit my lip suppressing my tear to dwell out.

” I am sorry…… I am in the west park…… all alone. I am stuck here……” A tear escaped from my eyes.

” West park??? Why did-Do you have an umbrella???”

” No I…… I didn’t know it would rain……”

” F***! Wait there…… I will be right there!”

” Hmmm…… Please come sooner…… I feel scared……. I feel like a shit…… I… I don’t know what is happening in my life…… everything’s fal-”

” Jennie……! I will be there as much as possible! Don’t wander anywhere. Promise me you won’t budge from there Jennie! Promise me!”

My heart felt like it was going to burst, my breathing becoming more irregular.

The warm tears spilled out onto my cheeks, followed by sickness that consumed me.

” JENNIE????? Are you listening to me? Promise me!!?”

I began panting, unaware of the sounds and movements around me as the world blurred. It was too much.

It was flaring. It was omnipresent. It was stabbing me like a thousand needles all over my body.

” Yes……” I whispered crying heavily, my legs couldn’t hold me anymore and stumbled and squatted down on the wet ground despite raining.

Tears appeared in my eyes rapidly, and I couldn’t breathe. I wiped them off, but they kept coming.

He didn’t come…… He didn’t come. ……

It was dark, and it was feeding itself on my wretchedness, making me even more scared.

After 15 min Harper and Rose came running towards me and I cried heavily like my life depended on it. We left the place.

Showering didn’t help me feel any less tense since the nausea-inducing thoughts of those Hayden were plaguing my mind.

Is he alright?

It spread inside of me-this blackness, this anxiety.

Maybe I will see him in the college tomorrow……

……

In the Hunsberg University……

” Hey wassup trash can!!”

A boy winked and laughed mocking me. There were giggles and vicious laughter around me. They hated me so much, bullying me at each corner.

Several students passed, casting me mocking, curious glances, but I knew better than to expect anything from them other than morbid mockery looks.

” Look at her clothes…… she looks like a walking trash……”

” That nickname really suits her after all!” Another girl sniggered.

I clenched my fist to suppress my anger, they want nothing more than seeing me loose it, but I refuse to satisfy their obnoxious mind.

Many videos, many memes of me were posted all over social media. Cyberbullying can’t be controlled, especially when everything is anonymous.

Posts could be replicated and shared too many times, and they also attracted haters who were hungry to unleash their negativity.

How could all of them be so cruel?

Where was their humanity? Everything hurt-breathing, thinking, seeing their thrill at my pain……

I looked for Hayden, but he wasn’t present. I tried to ask his friends but they pushed me away insulting me, warning me to stay away from him, refusing to give me information about him.

What was happening? Was Hayden ok?

I couldn’t escape the toxic guilt I’d carried with me since that night. It was eating away at me.

It was unconquerable, shouting at me from the depths of my mind that something wrong going on in here.

” Jennie!!!” Lisa and Rosé ran towards me squealing happily. ” Your classes are done?”

” Yes. Yours?”

” Ours too! Let’s eat something I am starving!!” Rose pouted rubbing her stomach.

Me, Harper and Rose started walking off the industrial engineering block. Harper and Rose were chatting and I was lost in thought of Hayden. Then somebody blocked our path, snapping me back to reality.

” Rose! Where are you all going?” Xavier said with amused look on his face.

I froze in my place, the blood pounded in my ears when my eyes fell on somebody. Vincent aka maniac, beside him Blake aka volcano.

It was impossible for me to chase away all those frightening thoughts and forget about my day, so many images blending in my mind and amplifying my darkness.

” We are going to eat…… our classes are over fortunately!” Rose chimed at her cousin.

In a moment of despair, I looked at Vincent and found him staring right at me. The intensity of the feelings in his eyes twisted everything in me, there was no emotion in his face, complete blank.

I averted my eyes from him and landed into much horrible creature, Blake Parker. His brow creased as he inspected Harper, his eyes traveled to her injured lips and bandage on her elbow, he tilted his head slightly like he was straining his brain to gather thoughts.

I flinched when his eyes then fell on me, rattling me to the core, some mysterious look wandering on his face.

Each inch of me was attacked with apprehension as I waited for him to do something, I was expecting an attack to come, was he going to target me or is it Harper???

He suddenly made a step towards us, in reflex I held Harper hand tightly and pulled her with me, Harper in return held Rose’s hand and I started running dragging Harper and Rosé with me.

” What the-where are you going??” I heard Xavier’s voice, I didn’t dare to look back as I was running.

” Bye bro!!” Rose shouted laughing, waving at Xavier who were little far from us now.

Nobody chased after us as we ran through the halls, trying to get far away from the building.

” What was that???” Harper looked at me amused and confused at the same time.

” Nothing…… I was just hungry, they were on our way, it was time consuming” I said as I panted, due to running fastly, ignoring the fact why I actually did it

In that moment, I’d had enough of all of that. I wanted to spend my time peacefully away from that Vincent and Blake and any horrible memes that could come out of their ultimate humiliation.

* Day 2……*

A flock of students was packed inside the section B, They were all the same, some of them displaying new hairstyles, combined with new fashion trends, and some wearing highly expensive fall pieces, which would strengthen their position among popular and rich kids.

Sadly, people respected those who exuded money.

They noticed me and started talking in hushed whispers. Their evil eyes bore into me, allowing my anxiety to proliferate, and I could sense there was some confrontation ahead of me, but I didn’t know what to do to elude it.

There was no sign of Hayden again. His phone number wasn’t valid anymore. I just waited patiently for my classes to get over.

Hayden thoughts were haunting my mind. I attempted to shut it out, but it was impossible. It was suffocating, and I couldn’t stop my tears, so I squeezed my eyes closed and cried in silence in the girl’s washroom.

I really was a pathetic excuse for a human being, I couldn’t do anything here, can’t even figure out what’s happening with Hayden, everybody refused to give information about him.
