“Let me fucking kill him then, Ariella,” he says while still punching, not even taking a second to take a break. “I'll give him a slow and painful death. He is going to wish he never touched you.”
“Ash, please,” I beg but he still doesn't take a second to stop punching him. I get out of the classroom and see two male teachers walking in the hallway. “Please help, I need help.”
They look at me like I'm crazy but they follow me inside the classroom.
In just a few minutes, police walk inside the room to get Ash off of Liam. I take that moment to look at Liam and his whole face is bloody and his nose looks like it is about to fall off.
My eyes catch Ash as they hold him by the arms and take him out of the room.

“You're a smart kid, Ash. I would hate to see you waste your future on things like this.”
I'm in the dean's office now. He has been scolding me for the last hour while Liam Locke is at the hospital.
He fainted and the fucker deserves it.
He deserves worse for touching Ariella.
“Me? You aren't going to thank me for saving a student from almost being raped? You really need to get your priorities straight.”
“I know that this whole situation is a lot. I am already getting emails and calls from the school board about this situation,” he says, while rubbing his hand against his forehead.
I nod my head. “He better be arrested for what he did. I know there are plenty more girls who he has tried to do things with.”
The dean nods his head. “Yes, I am aware. Ms. Madden spoke to us about that and she even gave us the story of what happened with her.”
It's weird how I found her so suddenly.
I was going to class like normal and saw Ariella through the window on the ground. I didn't think twice before I burst through the door and tackled the motherfucker to the floor.
I wanted to kill him.
But then Ariella got people to stop me.
I never got the email that Ariella is talking about. I never really pay attention to my emails when it comes to school.
“So, what's the punishment then? Expelled? Arrested?”
The dean shakes his head. “No, none of that. We are a school that takes chances on people like you, Ash. I believe you can do amazing things but ultimately, if I'm being honest. I really don't think that you majoring in psychology is what you want.”
“Then what do I want?” I raise an eyebrow at him.
“That's up to you, Ash. I haven't contacted your father about this. I know he has helped you get into this school.”
“You don't need to do any of that.”
“I know but I'm just letting you know.” The dean sighs before putting his hands on the desk. “You can go, Ash. But I do want you to think about maybe a different career path.”
I don't say anything to the dean about what I am thinking when he mentions a new career path.
Instead, I stand up and walk out of his office.
My mind is in circles as I walk towards the exit of the school.
