Lunara left the room, leaving only the two of them. Hanley hasn’t raise up her head, she was just too ashamed to do so.

” I heard the students mocked you for your hair, I’m sorry about that. ” He walks to the bed, sitting opposite her but they backed each other.

” I know I haven’t been good to you lately and, I haven’t been a honest mate to you. I know you hate me because I marked but… you just have to know I didn’t just wake up on a morning and thought of chosing you.

You don’t know how long it took me to find one…. And when I did, she was gone. I went through the whole country and continents looking for you.

And you definitely don’t know what your leaving has caused to your family. Your mother and brother, they all left. Your father, he’s still in Masarkkav hoping to see you one day.

I didn’t mean to take you away from the people you love, I was just… ” He paused for a while, then continued. ” I was just so scared of someone having you in my place.

I know I ain’t perfect but, I wish I can try more h-rder to be one. And, I won’t try to take Andrew’s place in your heart but… I hope you’ll forgive me. ”

He exhaled heavily, as if saying all those has released the burden in him.

” I don’t care what colour your hair changes to, I believe you are still the same to me. The same girl I marked, and still the girl I own. ”

Hanley sniffed after several attempts to hold back the tears which threatened to fall.

He stands up, walking to her direction. Hanley didn’t do anything. She sat, crying silently to herself.

He holds her hand, pulling her to stand on her feet. He pulls the hoodie off her head, he was staring at her white hair.

He brings her to himself, hugging her tightly, burying her in his arms.

She was crying, her voice could heard. ” I’m sorry… for everything.” He apologized.

She felt warm and safe in his arms, and she wished it would last this way forever. In his arms, she found refuge and shelter.

It felt like a home in her home. Safer, free. And he didn’t mind the tears of her eyes on his shirt.

” I… I… I’m…” She stammered tearfully. ” I’m…”

” It’s okay. ” He breaks the hug, k-ssing her forehead. ” I can talk to your headmaster tomorrow if you want me to. ” He stares into her eyes, waiting for her reply.

She nods. ” I want you to.” She said, her voice cold.

” I’ll see what I can do about your hair. For now, you need to get some rest. ” She nods again, not wanting to look at his face.

She laid on the bed.

Staring at her for the last time, turns off the light, shutting the door after him.

The following morning, just as said, Ace drove her to the school premises to discuss with Mr Anderson.

While Hanley waited outside the headmaster’s office, Ace walked in to meet with the headmaster.

Mr Anderson ushered him to sit on the guest chair. ” Nice to meet you, Mr…?”

” Preston. Ace Preston.” He replied.

” Nice to meet you, Mr Preston. I can presume you’re related to Miss Hanley Preston, am I right? ” He guessed.

” Yes. I am her brother. So, I came because of the incident that happened yesterday. I heard she was being mocked by the other students and we both know what that means.

She is new to the school and she’s… emotional too. I don’t want any thing to affect her especially in her emotional and academic life.

So, I will love it if you look into this and talk to your students about this. ”

Mr Anderson nodded. ” Of course, I will. ”

” Thank you. I’ll be leaving then. ” He stands up, offered him a handshake before setting out of the office to meet Hanley who sat quietly outside like loner.

” Hey.” He called for her attention. ” Are you alright?”

She heaved heavily, nodding her head. ” Yeah, I am.”

He holds her both hands, ” I’ve talked to him, and he promise to look into the matter. You don’t have to worry about what other students will say, okay? ” He assured her.

She nodded again for the second time.

” I’ll come pick you up by three. Okay?”

” Promise?”

” I promise.” He gaze fell on her l-ips, and he wouldn’t mind having a taste of it at that moment. Noticing this, she shyly looked away.

” Take care of yourself.” She waved at him, heading towards her class.

It was English period, Hanley and Harmonie sat together. Everyone in the class would stare at Hanley then murmur among themselves.

Hanley still felt the shame and she wished the hair dye Mary had applied on her hair won’t have to automatically change back to white.

Their gazes were much humiliating than their laughter. But Harmonie would always whisper to her to calm down. And she can only do that if she stops listening.

She would indirectly touch her hair to see if it has changed or look at Harmonie to check on her hair.

This kept going on until Mr Anderson walked into the room.

” Good morning, Mr Anderson.” They greeted in chorus.

” Good morning.” He replied to their greeting. ” I’m sorry Mrs Smith for the interruption. ” She smiled. ” So here is my reason for coming here, we all know the rules, ‘No Humiliation.’

I will not tolerate anyone who does that in my school. What happened yesterday concerning Miss Preston’s case is some thing I don’t want to repeat in this school.

I will say this now, because I won’t say it next time. I don’t need a CCTV camera to find out who disobeys me. When I find you, I’ll make your punishment a surprise.

Have a nice day, everyone. ” Looks at Mrs Smith. ” Sorry for the interruption. ”

Mrs Smith stared at the students, ” You heard what he said, didn’t you? Follow the instructions and don’t get yourself into trouble. ”

She picks up her book from her desk. ” Shall we continue? ”

Hanley felt rest assured at Mr Anderson’s words. Since Mr Anderson made mention of no CCTV cameras, that means there’s got to be some other strategies he is using.

Who knows who? All you’ve got to do is to keep your mouth shut and get the heck outta trouble.

During the recreation period, Hanley and Harmonie went to eat at the cafeteria.

No one talked, but their gazes has already explained what their thoughts are.

Since they were only staring at her, she didn’t mind. They can stare their eyes to hell.

The Queen Lady of BridgeGate came to sit with the both girls. She was sitting next to Hanley. And to Hanley, it felt like she was sitting next to the devil.

She with Harmonie acted like they didn’t notice her presence. ” So you finally went ahead calling your momma to come talk to the headmaster?

You think this will protect you forever? One day Mr Anderson will leave the school and there will be no one to save your ass.

So don’t get the high hopes yet, cos the authorities are all fu*ked up. When the time is due, I’ll get back to you, Little. Bitch. ” She scoffed.

She took her tray of food with her, walking to a different table where her girls sat.

” Don’t listen to that, Hanley, she’s only trying to scare you. She can’t do anything, none of them can. And let’s just hope Mr Anderson doesn’t leave the school until we’re out of the school. ” She encouraged her.

” I’m not scared of them, I’m scared of what happens when they touch me. ” She said courageously, referring to Ace.

When the bell for dismissal was rung, Hanley packed her books into her bag, hanging it on one shoulder.

Harmonie pushed the exit door open as they made their way out of the school building.

Hanley was typing on some few messages on telegram, and she didn’t notice what was going on.

” What’s going on?” Harmonie asked. ” What are they all with their phones?” She tapped Hanley by the arm.

” What’s going on?” She asked, dropping her phone into her pocket.

” Oh my gosh!” Harmonie exclaimed, ” Are you seeing this? This is my dream car.” She gasped, mouth wide open.

The Citroen C5 Aircross SUV just drove into the compound, and it was like the white president had just walked in.

Hanley was curious as everyone else to see who it was that drove the car. Almost everyone were taking a photo of the car.

” I bet whoever is in there, is fu*king adorable.” She blushed.

The door opened, and whoever that was in there seem to be taking much time to step out.

But when he finally did, he was on a call with someone. Hanley’s jaw fell, she has never seen him so handsome like today.

As if he had gone for an authentic makeup operation on his face. And he has never seen him or anyone drive that car before.

It looked new like they had purchased it just today. She looked around to see how they all admired him, causing her expression to change.

She didn’t know why she seems so bothered about it, but acted not to care. She was unconsciously jealous of what was going on.

And she felt like she should s¢ræm his name and ask him to step back into the car.

” I gotta go.” She said.

” Go?” Harmonie asked. ” To where? Your mom isn’t here yet. Or are you using the transport today? ”

” No, someone came to pick me up. ”

” Oh. Who’s that? ” She asked again.

” Him. ” She pointed at the Citroen C5 car.

Harmonie doubted her. But then, Hanley told her she should watch her walk to car, then she’d believe her.

Harmonie didn’t blink her eyes as she maintained a fixed gaze at Hanley as she made her way to where the car had packed.

To her amazement, and likewise to everyone else, Ace went to open the passenger door for her. She waved at Harmonie before hoping in.

Ace walked to the driver side, hoping in, before shutting the door close. He zoomed off.

” How was school today?” He asked, as soon as they left the school.

” It was good.” He looked at her, the statement wasn’t a complete on to him. ” And Mr Anderson did talk to everyone about it.”

He returns his gaze back to the steering.

” You didn’t buy this car today, did you?” She asked.

” I didn’t.” He replied, his gaze fixed to the steering wheel.

” How come I haven’t seen it before?” She asked again.

” Because I have never driven it since the day I bought it. That was six months ago. ”

” Why didn’t you use it this morning? ”

He looked at her. ” Never thought of using it today either. ”

” So why the change of mind? ”

” I’ll be leaving outside the state after I drop you off. ”

” What are you doing outside the state?”

” I’ll explain it all to you when I come back.” He said.

” How long…” She pause, ” how long is it gonna take? ” She asked.

” Two days or three. Not really sure yet.”

Hanley was quiet, she didn’t talk anymore. She moved her gaze, staring out of the window.

When he got to the mansion, he halted the car. Hanley sat still, no word, she was just quiet.

” What if… what if it takes too long?” She asked, breaking the awkward silence.

He made no comment.

” Answer me, what if it takes too long?” She repeated.

” I’ll give you a call. ”
