Chapter 32: One More Time

Victoria's POV

I couldn't believe Declan would hit Oliver, and I knew even if I hated Oliver, I couldn't deny my feelings for him. I was on my feet the moment Declan delivered his first blow, and I wondered why Oliver didn't fight back; and it made me think, he was afraid of Declan, but I could feel he was only controlling himself since I could see the anger on his face, and his fists were on his sides.

Oliver allowed Declan to injure his pretty face, and he took each blow with pride. Even if I begged Declan to stop, he didn't listen. When Declan almost hit me, I could see how Oliver's face flushed with anger, and he immediately took hold of Declan by pulling him through the collar of his shirt. My eyes widened in shock when I saw Oliver carry Oliver into the air as if he weighed nothing at all, even if they have the same build.

Our classmates gasped, especially the girls, and I could tell how much they admired Oliver's strength, and I suddenly felt proud for the first time that Oliver noticed me; he tried to protect me by shielding me with his muscular frame the moment Declan continued to throw punches. And I lost count of how many times he hit Oliver's face, and I could see the cut on his face, yet he looked so hot when he carried Declan with one arm, and I realized how strong he could be.

Oliver pushed Declan's body on the wall, and I could see that Declan was writhing in pain and he was gasping for air, and it felt like our classmates were frozen in their seats, and I couldn't believe they were fighting because of me. I could feel the sweat on my palms, and I was overwhelmed with happiness when I realized Oliver was so angry because Declan almost hurt me.

I know I should not feel this happy, but I couldn't stop my heart from celebrating. It may sound crazy, but it felt like Oliver really liked me. And when our teacher got inside our classroom, I could see the horrified look on his face, but I know Mr. Anderson is tough, and he will not get frightened by any of his students.

"Boys, you better stop fighting now, or else I don't have a choice but to expel both of you." He said with authority, and they both stopped fighting each other.

"Proceed to the guidance counselor right now, and wait for me." Our teacher said calmly, and I felt so worried for Oliver. I know I liked Declan at first, but I couldn't believe he couldn't control his anger, and he was jealous of Oliver, and I could tell that there is more to their animosity; I don't think they will be fighting because of me.

Oliver loosened his grip on Declan's neck, and I could tell they were both hurt, but since they looked big and strong, it seemed like nothing happened at all. They looked relaxed, and my heart was pounding hard against my chest when I found Oliver looking back at me. Then my heart skipped a beat when he gave me his signature sexy smile, and he winked at me before he finally got out of the door, and it felt like I couldn't breathe because of the overwhelming joy that I felt.

"What was that all about, Victoria?" Our teacher asked me since he found me standing at the back of our classroom even if my assigned seat was at the front row, and I was speechless since I didn't know how to tell him since I was surprised by my own action, and I suddenly felt embarrassed why I got up and came near Oliver. And I could tell it was because of my instinct, and I couldn't deny I felt so anxious about Oliver and Declan fighting over me. 

"Because Victoria is a bitch, Mr. Anderson." I heard Keisha say, and I could listen to the laughter of her friends, and I could feel my face turning red since I couldn't believe she would call me a bitch, and I understood; she was pissed because I could tell she saw everything, Oliver was protecting me from Declan.

I suddenly remembered that Oliver had asked me to have a date with him. I felt like I was floating in the air, that I almost jumped on my feet when I heard our teacher's booming voice asking me to sit down, and I slowly paced towards my seat without looking at Keisha; I didn't care about her remarks since I didn't want to go down to her level.

"What happened out there, Victoria?" Lana asked when our teacher left us after he instructed us to answer some activities found in our textbook, and I wonder how he will deal with Declan and Oliver. 

"I don't have an answer for your question, Lana," I responded as I tried reading the questions in my book, and when I raised my head and took a side glance, I found her staring at me.

"What?" I asked her, and she grinned at me.

"Come on, Victoria, I could tell you are the reason why they fought. It feels like Declan is something, he is new in school, yet I couldn't believe he will end up in the guidance counselor's office before his first day is over. He must like you a lot." She said, and I pretended I didn't hear my best friend.

"And Oliver is.." She trailed off, and the moment I heard Oliver's name, I couldn't stop my heart from beating so fast.

"What about him, Lana?" I asked, and she weakly smiled at me.

"I think he could no longer hide how he truly feels for you, Victoria." She said, and I felt my entire body was on fire. I don't know why, but the idea that Oliver felt something for me made me feel so excited.

"Do you think so?" I asked in more than a whisper.

"Of course, haven't you seen the looked on his face before he walked out the door? He was staring at you with a beautiful smile on his face, and I have never seen him smile that way to anyone, not even with Keisha." Lana said, and I giggled.

Our teacher came back, but I hadn't seen Declan and Oliver, and I wondered what happened to them, and I suddenly felt worried if Mr. Anderson gave them some punishment, and I hoped he would not suspend them, or worse, expel them. I couldn't stop myself from feeling so guilty that because of me, they were in trouble.

"Where could they be?" I asked Lana, and she widely smiled at me.

"I think they are now cleaning the restrooms." She responded, and I was hoping my best friend was right. It is better that they will clean the toilet rather than be suspended from attending classes.

The boys didn't return until our last period in the afternoon, and I felt more down and anxious to know what happened to them. I was in the parking lot waiting for Jason to come, and I felt so glad and disappointed at the same time that it was our family driver who stopped in front of me, and not Oliver Prize.

"Are you okay, Victory?" Jason asked, and I smiled at him.

"Of course, I am fine, Jason," I responded.

"You don't look fine to me, my dear. It feels like you are in deep thought. Is there something bothering you?" He asked, and I could feel the concern in his voice.

"Yes, I am just tired, I felt stressed about the upcoming mathematics competition, and Oliver was giving me a hard time. He is my partner for that event, but I could tell he doesn't even care about it." I said, and I took a deep breath.

"Relax, Victoria, who knows he is more prepared than you," Jason said, and he could be correct, but the truth is I am so worried about Oliver, but I couldn't tell Jason about it since I felt shy, and I fell silent for the rest of the ride. And when we arrived in our parking lot, I got out of the car without waiting for my driver to open the door for me. I thanked him and got inside our mansion with a heavy heart.

I could see that Celia was busy as she instructed the maids on what to do, and I smiled as I realized they were preparing the house for my parents, and even if I felt so down, I couldn't stop myself from feeling so excited as I think about my mom and dad, and I couldn't wait to see them.

I slowly climbed the stairs, and when I reached in front of my room, I couldn't stop myself from turning around and looking at Oliver's room. And I was telling myself to contain my curiosity, but my urge to meet the wolf again is driving me crazy, and I wonder what is going on with me. I was petrified when I saw Oliver's wolf, but after spending the entire night with him, it felt like we were connected with each other, and it was so hard to understand.

Instead of going inside my door, I walked away and strode towards Oliver's bedroom. I slowly turned the knob, peering my head, but I felt disappointed when I couldn't find the beast. And nothing could stop me from getting inside Oliver's room, and I looked under his bed, but his pet wasn't there. 

I became more disturbed as I realized Oliver must secure the wolf since he realized I had already found out his secret, and he was afraid I would tell my father about it, but I think my father warned him to take his pet away from our house.

I couldn't explain the loneliness I felt when I realized I could no longer see the beautiful wolf who spent the night with me. My steps were heavy as I made my way out, and when I opened the door, my face turned pale, and my pulse quickened when I found Oliver standing on his doorstep, and his frame was blocking my way.

And when he looked at my face, I suddenly felt nervous, and when his eyes lingered on my lips, I felt my entire body felt so weak.. I was hoping he would lean down and kiss me even if I felt so afraid that he would humiliate me again, and I hated myself for thinking I wanted to feel the taste of his lips one more time.
