I'm The Bully
Chapter 2
*Ruby's Pov*
It was my first day of school here in England and it was ok. I knew this was going to happen, there is always a popular group at every school that bully other kids. I hate it, it pisses me off. I didn't mind moving to England since I didn't really have anyone back 'home' in California. I only had one true best friend, but we would never see each other. We would text and call each other on the phone, but it had been years since I last saw her. My parents and I moved a lot due to their work, so I would never make any friends. I would defend all the ones that were being bullied and bully the bullies of every school. I go to a new school and change it all around. Making it so their would be no stereotypes. I helped build cofidence in kids, make them stand up for themselves. But there were sometimes that I had been quicked out of schoosl from almost beating kids to death. I couldn't help it once rage took over me I had no say. There were also times when kids would figure out my past and would fear me and try to call the police making my parents and I move to a new location.
I walked home from school, skipping my last two classes. I was happy that I helped out Marcel and Rose, but I couldn't and didn't want to be their friends. I will help them, but I don't want to make any friends and then have to move again. They showed me around school, and they were even in some of my other classes, but so were the other 'popular' kids. I didn't even learn their names nor did I want to. Marcel and Rose were nice to me, but I didn't want to get hurt by getting all warm and fuzzy with friends.
I saw my mom's car parked outside our drive way but not my dad's. I got to my house and opened the door.
"Hey sweetie, why are you here early?" She smiled as she took the lasagna out from the oven.
"I didn't feel like going to the last two classes. I'm tired this whole time thing is bugging me." I admitted as I gave a hug.
"Ok i'll let it slide this time, but you have to focus more on school now. Its your last year and then your off to college." She smiled looking at me in the eyes as she hold on to my shoulders.
"I know, but I feel its pointless to try and settle in if we are going to move mid semester." I didn't like moving around during the semesters. I wouldn't mind after each school year, but not in between.
"Well your dad and I have a suprise for you." She gave me that grin that she would always give me when she had some good news.
"Well....." I waved my hand for her to continue.
"We are staying here in Holmes Chapel, England for sure!" She started clapping her hands together while jumping up and down. "No more moving, unless you know if anyone finds out ab-" She was now standing her smile disappearing.
"No ones going to find out!" I scream. "But yay I'm so happy. So I can finally make real friends." I smiled giving her a warm embrace.
"I'm sorry about everything." She says as she hugs me tighter.
"No don't be sorry. You saved me. So thank you." I hug her tight not wanting to let her go, as memories from the past flood through my mind.
"Ok you could let go now." I broke the silence between us. We had been standing in middle on the kitchen hugging each other for about 5 minutes.
"Oh yea you're right. I just don't want to let you go. You are an angel under my eyes." She said wiping away a tear that had escaped her eye.
"Don't cry. I already told you guys that I won't leave unless you guys tell me." I smile at her cupping her face with my small hands. She places her hands over mine and smiles.
"Ohh shit...tles, oh skittles." She corrects herself. "I almost forgot to show you something."
I start laughing, because my bad laungue has rubbed on to her. She says a bad word, but always corrects herself. "What is it?"
"Don't laugh at me, I blame you." She starts to laugh too. "Well since yesterday we arrived late and didn't give you a tour of the house there something in the basement for you." She smiles heading to a door which I asume is the basement.
"Eww we have a basement, they look creepy." I say as we walk down the wooden stairs, but my eyes light up to what I see.
"Tada!" She says standing to the side so I could see the whole room.
"Oh my god... I can't believe it. You guys actually did this for me?" I start to feel my eyes getting watery.
"Yea we know how much you love boxing and the piano, so we decided to give you the basement all for you. You could take your anger out on the punching bag instead of kids at school."
"I love you guys so much." I give her another hug giving her kisses on the cheeck. "Thank you."
"Your welcome sweetie. Now are you hungry or should we wait for your dad." She smiles pulling away from our warm embrace.
"Lets wait." We walk up the kitchen andset up the table.

I had went to sleep early that night and when I woke the next day I felt awake and happy. I woke up 2 hours before school, so I decided to go down to the basement and workout. I did some jabs on the bag, then ran on the trendmill, and jump roped as well.
I went back up to my room to showered to get ready for school. I never cared much for my appereance. I would wear simple clothes never girly, it wasn't me. I would consider skinny jeans, a t-shirt, and a pair of converse to be a nice outfit. That makes me feel beautiful. I would sometimes straighten my hair or curl it, but most of the time I left it natural. I didn't like to wear makeup either it was a waste of time for me. I would sometimes wear eyeliner or mascara, but most of the days I didn't care.
When I went back down my dad had left to work already and my mother was making getting ready to go to work. Before she left she gave me kiss on the cheeck and ran out the door. I served myself cereal and ate alone. I guess i'll have to walk to school.
I started to walk down the street when I spotted a car driving along the street at my pace. I didn't look up, but I felt its presence.
"What?" I finally looked up since they didn't say anything. It was that one blonde kid that was hanging out with the curly hair guy from science class.
"Do you want a ride neighbor?" He grinned at me. What we're neighbors. I just hope not all the popular kids live on this block.
"We're neighbors?" I stop to look at him
"Yea my house is infront of yours. So do you want a ride?" He asks again. He doesn't seem like asshole like the curly guy, he seems nicer and he has such beautiful blue eyes.
"Ummmmmmmmm..." I say trying to build up the suspense.
"Come on or we'll be late if you comtinue to hummmm." He mocks me.
I can't help, but laugh and agree. "Ok fine." I get in his car and buckle myself.
"So whats your name neighbor?" He looks over at me.
"We have like 3 classes together and you don't know my name?" I sarcastically ask.
"Well I'm sorry, but I hadn't talked to you. So no I don't know your name and I bet you don't know mine either." He grins at me.
"You're right I don't know your name. So I guess we are even. I'm Ruby." I warmly smile at him.
"Humm? Ruby thats a pretty name. I'm Niall." On our way to school we continue to talk about ourselves. He told me about him moving to England from Ireland when he was 7. He even told me that the curly guy's name is Harry. They've known each other since Niall moved here. He also told me that Harry lives next door to him. I actually like Niall, he's my type of person, someone who is carefree, and laughs at everything. We have so much in common and I think I just made a friend.
We pull up to the schools parking lot and I open my door. "Well thanks for the ride." I get out and start to walk.
"Wait, we have class together remember. We could walk together." He says locking the door to his car. We walk inside the school together and his friend immediatly turn to stare at us.
"Why are they staring?" I ask in disgust.
"Because their mad at you for defending the nerds, and insulting Vicky." He looks at them, then turns to face me confused when I start to laugh. "Whats funny?"
"You guys are funny and they are pathetic." I point to them continuing to humorlessly laugh.
"Why are we pathetic?" We looked so cute when he was confused.
"Its pathetic how they waste their time being mad an me. Not you though, because you aren't mad at me, or are you? " I ask rising my eyebrow playfully.
"No, why would I be?" He asks when we stop at my locker. I unlocked it and took my science book out.
"I dont know or care, lets go?" I try to change the conversation before we got into a fight over his friends. He walks to his locker and gets his book right when the bell rings. We walk into class together, but I sit next to where Marcel sat yesterday and he sits with his friend Liam.
I sat down and made myself confertable in my seat taking out my pencils and journal. Then I look up to see Marcel with a huge bruise on his right eye and a busted lip.
"What the hell happend to you?" I could feel my blood start to boil. I was angry at who ever did this to him.
"Nothing I just lost my balance and fell down the stairs at my house." He lied. I know he was leing and it pissed me off that he couldn't even look me in the eyes and tell me that.
"Bullshit. Don't give me that crap. You think I'm fucken stupid? Tell me who did that to you?" I quitly scream at him. He just looks down at his desk not replying.
Seconds later I see Harry and plactic barbie whos name is Vicky walk into class. Harry looks over at Marcel and me. Marcel looks up to see him and back down at his desk shaking his head. Before Marcel looked down Harry gave him a malicious wink and then at me.
"Ohh Hell No!" I look over at Marcel. "Did that mother fucker beat you up?" At this point I'm barely able to keep myself calm. I'm fighting the urge to walk up to Harry and slap the shit out of him.
"Yes, but dont tell him or anyone." He whispers, as his eyes plead at me. "They will hurt me even more if you defend me, so please just let it go."
"Fuck no! That fucker is gonna get a taste of his own medecine." I start to get up and walk toward Harry and his group. When Niall's eyes meet mine, he shakes his eyes as if telling me no, to go away.
As I reach their table Mr. Smith walks into the classroom. Harry looks up at me with a smirk on his face.
"Sorry I'm late, is everything okay." He looks at me standing there infront of Harry. Everyones eyes were on us now.
"Yes sir, I'm-" I started, but was cut off.
"She's just making new friends Mr. Smith." Harry inturrups me, copying what I had said yesterday.
"Yupp." I lied giving both of them a fake smile. Then I pat Harry in the back hard. "Well its nice to make a new buddy." Before I left, I gave him one last pat and winked at him.
"Well, then lets get started." Mr. Smith continued. I walked back to my seat and with an evil smirk on my face. Let the games begin Mr. Styles.
