★ I LOVE YOU ★
At once, Melanie stopped her tears. The only thing that could be heard was her low whimpering.
Axel was still glaring hard at the girls, the anger in his eyes sending shivers of fears down the girl’s spines.
“Lay your hands on her, then you’ve got to face me directly,” he said emotionlessly.
The girls shuddered and some shifted back in fear.
Axel glanced at Melanie in his arms and seeing the tears in her eyes, anger thrummed through his veins.
One thing he has come to h@ťě was seeing her in tears. Seeing her in a vulnerable state was enough to make him go insane.
He breathed out loudly, trying hard to control himself from hitting the girls
Instead, he released a soft smile at her and wiped her tears with his thumb. Melanie was staring at him this time, not uttering out a single word.
“Let’s leave,” he whispered softly.
Melanie nodded slightly and he carried her in his arms, in a bridal style. The students screamed loudly as Axel walked away with Melanie in his arms.
Melanie wrapped her arms around his neck and hid her face on his chest till he left the place.
? So, they’re dating?
? Then, who made those rumors?
? I wish I hadn’t done that to her, Axel will be so mad at me right now
Different murmurings filled the place as they all gossiped among themselves.
A figure stood there watching the whole scenario, hands could be seen curling up in a hard fist and jaws clenching hard.
The figure stood there for a while before leaving the place.

Axel entered a class and dropped Melanie on a chair gently. There was no single student in the class so they were alone.
“Why did you do that?” He asked.
Melanie cleaned her face and looked elsewhere, unable to look at him.
“Till when are you going to stand up for yourself, huh? Will you let them continue bullying you that way?” He asked more in a scolding manner.
Melanie didn’t say anything. Truly, she felt ashamed of herself. They were calling her all sorts of names, and she couldn’t do a thing.
Axel sighed and cupped her cheeks gently.
“Are you okay?”
Melanie faced him, her eyelashes glittering with the tears in them.
She shook her head and tears came spilling out of her eyes.
“I h@ťě myself from being too soft, I h@ťě my life” she weeped gently.
“If you hadn’t come on time, then what’d have become of me?” She continued crying.
Axel felt a prick in his heart as he watched her crying, he brought his arm and pulled her head to his shoulder, patting her back slowly.
“It’s not too late, Mel. You can still change, you can still learn how to stand up for yourself,” he said gently.
After some time, Melanie pulled away from the hug and wiped her tears.
She faced him with a smile.
“Thank you,” she mumbled.
Her eyes suddenly dawned in realization when something clicked in her head.
“You… You called me your girlfriend” she started gently.
“I knew you were gonna talk about it,” Axel chuckled.
“I had to. It’s gonna be everywhere, the students won’t stop talking about it,” she bit her lips slowly.
“It’s good that way, at least they will stop spreading fake rumors about you,” Axel explained.
“You aren’t comfortable with that?” He asked, on noticing her sudden silence.
“It’s not that… It’s just..” Melanie trailed off not knowing what to say.
“You don’t have to worry, it’s just for a while” Axel forced out a smile.
She nodded slightly and he stood up.
“Will you be fine alone?” He asked.
“You’re leaving?” She asked, staring up at him.
“Hmm,” he hummed.
“See you… At home I guess” he went out of the class.
Melanie sighed and rubbed her body with her hands.
She still couldn’t comprehend how the students got to find out about her staying in the same apartment as Axel.
The only people that were aware of it are her friends and Axel’s own. Oh… And Paisley.
Melanie scoffed in disbelief.
“Did she really have to go that far?” She mumbled to herself.
One thing she was sure of was that she won’t let this slide. She’s had enough already.

SENIOR’S BLOCK***
Axel entered the class to find all the students staring at him. He rolled his eyes and went to take a seat by a corner and brought out his headphones. He wore it and closed his eyes, resting his head on the chair.
He was still meditating when he received a light tap on his shoulder. He opened his eyes to find his friends staring at him.
“Hey,” he removed the headphones from his set and sat up straight.
“What’s the meaning of this?” Ace asked, showing him the picture of him carrying Melanie in his arms with the caption “THE SCHOOL BAD BOY IS KNOWN TO BE DATING A HOT CHICK NAMED, MELANIE BROWN”
Axel sighed.
“It was something that had to be done,” he muttered.
“Like seriously? What the f-__-k is going on? Aren’t you going to say anything?” Aiden snapped.
“I did that to save her, fine?” Axel snapped back.
“Save her? As how?” Aaron asked.
“The students managed to find out that we stay in the same house and called her all sorts of names. I did that just to save her, that’s all” Axel said.
“Are you sure you did that just to save her? Is that all?” Ace asked.
“Calm down, dude,” Aaron said to him.
Axel sighed and stood up.
“I’m outta here,” he muttered and left the class.
Audrey stood up and went after him.
“The rumors are fake, right?” She asked when she got to him.
“Does it look like a lie to you?” Axel asked back.
“What?”
Axel scoffed and went away.
“He’s dating her? For real?” Audrey stood here, her eyes wide in shock.
The Axel she knows would never date any girl, never! His logo was known to be “f-__-k and go”.
But… He has a girlfriend now? And she’s not the one??
