Lily's POV

"Um.... are you okay? You were bleeding pretty badly back there."

I just nodded. He stood there with an eye brow raised and said,"Do you need anything?"I could barely form words. I was extremely shocked. I didn't know the bad boy had a heart.

"Why are you being nice to me?", I blurted out.

His face hardened as he said,"Why? Do you think I don't have a heart? Just because people make up rumors about me, it means that I don't care about anything? You know what? Just forget it."He started to walk away and thats when I realized that my clothes were in my locker and I couldn't go out of the room looking like Bloody freaking Mary. 

"Wait!", I yelled.

He stopped dead in his tracks, turned around and smirked at me. 

He came back and dragged out a,"Yes?"

I lowered my head and said,"Wait, um... can you bring me my clothes?"

He looked at me with a cheeky smile and said,"What's in it for me?"

What the hell was wrong with him? I was bleeding for f*cks sake! He then put his finger on his chin, pretending to think, and came closer to me. I instinctively took a few steps back. 

He said,"You're going to have to do ten things that I say."

I wanted to whine and tell him that it wan't fair, but since I was desperate, I put my hand out, and he shook it. I was terrified. What would he ask me to do? But out of sheer desperation, I had to agree. I told him my locker combination, and he brought me my clothes. I turned around, and went to change when I heard him gasp. I turned around again and saw a shocked expression on his face.

He pointed to my back and said,"Why is there so much blood? What happened?"

My face hardened and I shut the door in his face as I walked into the room. I quickly changed and wore my spare hoodie with my yoga pants, converse and a loose T-shirt. I walked out of the room to see him still standing there. Thankfully, he didn't ask me any questions again and quietly walked by me. When we reached my locker, he said,

"You're spending the day with me. Just do what you normally do and I'll accompany you. It's the first of the ten things."

I sighed since I knew that I couldn't get out of the whole situation. I called Carter on my phone and told him that he didn't need to pick me up. 

He growled and said,"What do you mean? Why?"

I told him that I was hanging out with some friends, and he said okay extremely hesitantly. He told me that he was going to skip school to find a girl to bang. I gagged when he hung up, and breathed a sigh of relief. This was the first time in years that he had let me go. Maybe he was in a good mood or something.

I walked towards the school's exit and waited for Asher. He came with his friends and two of them smiled at me widely. He then pointed to the three guys and said,

"These are my best friends. Ryan, Cole and Jason."

I timidly waved at them and Ryan and Jason waved back. Cole didn't wave but smiled at me slightly. They were all very handsome, with tall and muscular builds, and jawlines sharper than my knife. I sighed, and followed them as they walked towards a black Mercedes. Ryan opened the door for me and I sat inside. Jason was the one driving.

He turned towards me and said,"Where to?"

"The boxing gym", I murmured, feeling slightly embarrassed for some strange reason

They all seemed surprised, but listened to my wish and started driving. Ryan turned towards me and hugged me tightly. I winced from the pain but was mostly just surprised. 

"We're gonna have so much fun together!", he yelled.

Cole turned towards him with a stone cold expression and said,"Don't scare her off."

He smiled at me slightly. 

"Sorry about Ryan. He's a bit damaged in the head." Jason looked at me, his face set in a kind smile.

I almost burst out laughing, but composed myself. I didn't miss the way Asher was looking at me through the rearview mirror. I didn't look at him once. I knew that he was thinking of why I was so bloody not too long ago, and I didn't want him to ask about that. We reached the boxing gym,  and they all got out of the car with me. 

I greeted the person at the desk, Cane, a smile on my face. He waved at me with a smile, and I instantly went to the changing room with my bag as the guys all sat in the gym. I came out in a workout hoodie and my usual yoga pants with some bandages wrapped around my hands. My hoodie was off of my head and all the guys stared at me in shock. I rolled my eyes. I just took off my hoodie for gods sake! I was aware that my tattoo was showing, but I couldn't box if there was a hoodie on my head. How would I feel the air rushing against my face? I took the skipping rope, quickly did about three hundred skips or so and started with shadowboxing. After the warmup, I walked up to the punching bag and boxed for about two hours.

I had originally meant to shorten the time for the sake of the guys, but once I started, I couldn't stop. All the pent up frustration from the beating last night to what had happened in the gym  and my life in general was building up inside of me, and I had to take it out. I basically trashed the punching bag, and eventually walked away from it, breathing heavily and wiping the sweat off of my face with the towel. Only then did I realize that I had four pairs of eyes on me, with three mouths hanging open. I looked towards them to see Cole, Ryan and Jason all gaping at me, while Asher just sat there with a curious expression on his face. I sighed.

This was going to be a long day.
