My Secret, My Bully, My Mates (skylar) by Miss l Free novel Chapter 32

Chapter 0032
After two weeks, was pulled into a dark closet following school, a large hand covering my mouth and part of my nose making it hard to breathe, another gripping the back of my neck, squeezing the muscles tight enough to render me motionless.

Then I felt punches to both sides of my ribs from the back. It was over almost before it began and no threats were made, but the message was clear. I'm a target again. I was shoved out of the closet quickly and tripped over myself hitting the ground. The sound of footsteps running away hit my ears as I sat there struggling to breathe and sit up straight. I didn't even try to look to see who grabbed me, just know they were huge and I am for sure going to have bruises for a few hours.

The mandatory trainings became hell as well. With the display Sierra and I put on, many people wanted to train with us to genuinely get better, but several were trying to hurt me for Kaley or they were upset that I made them look bad. It was hard to tell some days, but I became a punching bag and could do nothing about it. I set myself up for that.
Now that I took the time to show off my skills, the pool expanded from Kaley to anyone who was trying to climb the ladder and get noticed by our leaders. was the one to knock down a peg and if I showed any weakness they all would eat it up, so I showed no weakness and took it all without making a sound. Most of them only got in really good shots when I was tired from previous fights, but I wouldni let Delta Kyle or any of the other guys step in to help. I can't look like the favorite or like they are spoiling me, it would just make everything worse.
I can guarantee she is fueling that fire too, I just can't prove it. Ifs the little comments that are made when I'm close enough for them to whisper in my ear. The other problem is none of the guys could do anything either. They did finally catch on to the fact that my sparring partners were more than just training rough.

But the discussion of them helping me was shut down quickly, but had to be done daily. If they stepped in, it made me look weak and like I can't actually defend myself, making me a bigger target. They did help though, in their own way.

They all managed to be 'randomly paired with some of the guys who were exceptionally aggressive with me later in the week by Delta Kyle and they returned the aggressiveness in kind. And none of them challenged me in front of the group.
Sierra tried to get me to talk about my sudden introverted tendencies at school, when I clearly am not based on what she saw her first weekend here. I did my best to dodge the questions, but eventually I had to give her something. She wasn't going to let my lame excuses slide for much longer.

She got pretty creative with her lines of questioning. Throwing in the oddball comment while we were talking about homework or when she joined me on early morning runs, which she agreed with the guys, was ridiculous. They all flat out refused when she asked them to join so the torture could be shared among the group.

I have never been more thankful than when they said no. didn't want to have to stop or find another thing to avoid doing with them.

That early morning run and teaching the pups is all I have left that brings me any kind of joy now and I can't avoid talking to them at the pups training. We seem to always have a future leaders fan group at extra training,

they don't train however, they sit in the stands and cheer. Even the one we have with the current leaders, which is starting to make the Alpha irritated, so hopefully he will ban spectators. can't be myself with the guys with all of these people watching and I'm sure they notice even though none of them bring it up.
