*The Next Day*
Diannes POV
I walked to school on my own this morning, however since Joe had my glasses and I knew I had to wear them today, my vision wasnt the best. However I made it to school quite easily, and Joe greeted me at the gate.
"Put these on." He smirked, handing me the glasses. I put them on and looked at him.
"I can see now, but have you done anything?"
"Camera in the lens." He smirked. "Already recording. Come little red, lets burn the bitch down." He laughed a little, putting his arm around round my waist. He seemed to be going back to his older ways, however I knew he could control it, and I would snap him out of it if I needed to. We walked over to the boys and smiled.
"Since when have you had glasses red?" Caspar asked.
"For a while now." I giggled. I saw Melony walk over and rolled my eyes, Joes arm tightening round my waist, holding me closer. She walked over, smiling at everyone, winking at Joe before giving me a sneer.
"Dianne, may I talk to you?" She asked in a sickly sweet tone. I looked up at Joe and he nodded.
"Sure." I smiled. We walked into the building. This could be my one shot at getting her caught. She looked around before punching my lip, making it bleed.
"I told you to break up with him."
"I told you I wouldnt!"
"Then stay still, this will hurt." She snarled, and before I could get myself out her way she kicked my side, knocking me down.
"Shouldve listen to me red. If you tell any of your friends this was me, youll be lucky if you see them again." She spat before walking off. I sniffed, tears rolling down my cheeks as I could taste the blood on my tongue. I forgot all about the footage that my glasses wouldve recorded, I was more focused on getting myself cleaned up. I pulled myself up and began to walk to the bathroom before-
"Dianne!" I heard my name being called over and over. I froze, knowing the boys were running over. I looked down, Joe standing in front of me. He tilted my head up, seeing my lip bleeding badly, and could see the footprint left on me from when Melony was kicking me.
"What did she do...?" He snapped, walking me to the bathroom, not caring that he wasnt allowed in the girls bathroom. No one was in there anyway. He got some tissue and began wiping the blood off my lip.
"I knew I shouldnt have let her go off with you." He whispered, kissing my forehead.
"Can I see where she kicked you....?" He asked gently. "I want to see if theres any bruising."
I nodded and took off my blazer, untucking my shirt and lifting it up. Already there were red marks which you could tell would bruise badly.
"Oh Di...." He cooed, putting my shirt down and hugging me gently. "Go to tutor, Ill text the boys what happened. At break we go to the library and use the computers to transfer the footage and Ill put it on my phone, then we go to the head teacher's office and show him." He smiled, giving me my blazer. I slipped it on and we parted ways to walk to tutor. I walked in and sat down, Oli looking at me with concern.
"You okay?" He asked and I nodded.
"I will be." I said softly, all of us getting registered. I just needed to get through first and second period before we could have this bitch expelled.
*2 hours later*
Joes POV
Saying I was disgusted was an understatement. That girl thought she had the right to put her dirty paws on Dianne and get away with it. Trust me, no one is going to get away with it.
The two of us walked out of English and towards the library, my hand holding onto hers tightly. We sat down by one of the computers and I took the glasses. I unwired it, taking the memory card and connecting it to the computer, smiling as the footage showed up. I managed to transfer it onto my phone. I gave Dianne the glasses back which were back to normal and she put them on.
"Ready?" I asked, smirking as she nodded.
"Ready as ill ever be." She whispered, standing up and taking my hand.
"Lets go then." I said, slipping my phone into my pocket.
When we got to the head teacher's office, I knocked, waiting for the 'come in' before enterting. Dianne was hiding behind me slightly.
"Joe, Dianne, how may I help you."
"I want to report an act of bullying, and I believe servere consequences should be taken." I said, taking out my phone and showing him the footage of Melony beating up Dianne. He looked up, seeing Diannes lip which had stopped bleeding but what still bad. He realised this was recent, realising it was today.
"Miss Buswell, how long has this been going on?"
"E-ever since she showed up." She sniffled, leaning against me.
"You two wait here okay." He said before leaving his office. We sat down, Dianne looking over at me, her eyes glazed over with tears.
"You're gonna be okay." I whispered, reaching over and taking her hand. She smiled and nodded. We both looked over at the door when Melony walked in with Sir walking in behind her.
"Melony, take a seat." He said softly, the girl sitting next to Dianne.
"I have seen evidence of serious bullying." He told her. "Would you care to explain why you have been bullying Miss Buswell since you were enrolled at my school?"
"Shes a freak!" Melony scoffed. "A complete freak! She doesnt belong here. Go back to Australia since we dont want you-"
"THATS ENOUGH!" The head teacher shouted, making us all jump.
"I cannot tolerate this behaviour in this school." He snapped, picking up the phone and dialling Melonys dad's number.
"Hello, Im sorry for bothering you but I need to inform you that your daughter had been expelled due to behaviour we cannot tolerate. Yes. Ill see you soon. Thank you. Goodbye." He said before putting the phone down. We looked over at Melony, who looked over at us.
"You got lucky this time Dianne." She snapped, Dianne jumping a little at that threat.
"You better-" I stopped since her dad and mum walked through the door.
"You are in huge trouble young lady." He said with his arms crossed. Melony looked up, then looked at Dianne with a sneer.
"Im so sorry for our daughters behaviour." Her mother said sweetly to Dianne.
"If we knew sooner we wouldve done something."
"Its alright." Dianne said softly. "It wasnt your fault." She smiled and stood up, getting a hug from Melony's parents.
"Now, youre coming home and were having a talk." Her father snapped, the three soon leaving. I glaced over at Dianne before at the head teacher.
"Thank you Sir." I said softly.
"I give you both permission to go home. Im sure you need to sort yourself out Dianne. Let your aunt know what happened." He said softly. We both thanked him, taking our bags and walking out his office.
Diannes POV
My side hurt like hell, I could almost feel it brusing. When we got out of school, Joe picked me up.
"We can go straight to mine." He cooed. I knew my aunt wouldnt care if I got hurt so I nodded, leaning my head on his shoulder.
Once we got to his, I used his laptop to check my school emails, seeing my teachers had set me some work to do for the rest of the day. I sighed and started it, Joe having gone to the bathroom. About 10 minutes later he came back. He took a hoodie out his wardrobe and some clean boxers, handing them to me.
"I ran you a bath." He picked me up, carrying me to the bathroom. "Just relax. Take all the time you need." He gave me a soft kiss before walking back to my room. I closed and locked the door, taking off my uniform before getting in the bath, humming softly as my cold body warmed up. My side still hurt like hell, however I was able to relax a lot more in here.
I was in the bath for around 30 minutes before getting out, drying off and putting on Joes clothes. I smiled and walked to his room, going back to my work. He walked over and wrapped his arms around my shoulders.
"Enjoy the bath?" He asked and I smiled, nodding as I sent back my maths work to my teacher. I spun the chair round and hugged him tightly.
"What made you change?"
"What do you mean?"
"You used to hate me. Bully me. Now you love me."
"You. You made me change." He said softly, crouching down. "I thought that if people were scared of our group more than liking us, we would be better. When you came over from Australia, it seemes almost too easy, and I guess we never stopped until I finally knew who you were. Then I realised you were more than just a random exchange student. Youre Dianne Buswell. The most incredible girl ive ever met." He cooed, picking me up and kissing me gently. I smiled and soon pulled back.
"Guess Im a good person huh?" I chuckled.
"Youre amazing. You turned a bad boy good."
"And we can blame your friends for getting me so drunk I admitted I like you." I giggled, kissing his cheek before resting my head on his shoulder. He walked over to his bed and sat down, rubbing my back gently.
"I love you. Seeing Melony do the things we did made me hate her even more. I hate myself for doing that stuff to you."
"I forgive you. I cant hate the boy I love. However I don't think Melony will change." I sniffed. Joes phone went off and he picked it up.
"The boys are coming over after school, theyre bringing strawberries and whipped cream."
"Oooo I like them. Tell them to bring chocolate too." I giggled and he nodded, telling them to bring chocolate.
"Well, now we wait."
