Chapter 89: Lie
Jules pov
"I..." I trailed off, biting at the inside of my mouth, unsure of how to say. Blaze was still staring at me, clearly waiting for me to say something.
I swallowed emptily and brushed my hair out of my face, and then I shifted a little in my seat.
"I transferred because... because, the other school, they were..."
I trailed off because I was still unable to come up with something reasonable to say.
"Did you transfer because you were getting bullied?" He asked and my eyes widened as I stared at him.
I remained frozen for a few moments before vigorously nodding my head in response, and then I regretted doing that almost immediately because lying to him didn’t feel great in any way, it only felt really terrible at the pits of my stomach.
The expression on blaze’s face softened and I felt like the worst human on earth, especially after he leaned forward and combed his fingers through my hair.
"Were you bullied a lot?" He asked and I let out a squeak before hurriedly shaking my head.
