Chapter Thirty-one
Maxine’s Point of View
I yawned in the middle of our teacher teaching in the foreground. Her way of teaching is boring, that’s why I’m feeling sleepy. Also, I don’t know, I’m feeling excited now to take break time probably because I know I’m eating with someone. But even so, I still don’t trust Byron and Louis completely. I have to be careful, what if they fool me again, right? Even if the process takes a long time, it’s okay to make sure that what happened before doesn’t happen again.
CLING! CLING! CLING!
The bell rang to signal that it was break time. I immediately got up from my seat and was about to walk when I stopped when I saw Angela in front of the door. Her arm was crossed at the top of her chest as she looked at me sharply. Why would she look like that? What else did I do?
I heaved a sigh before starting to walk. And when I was close to where she was standing I immediately stopped. I really meant to distance myself from her because maybe she would do something to me again. I don’t want trouble anymore so why can’t they stop bothering me even though I’m avoiding it? It’s really hard to understand these women.
“Eat with us,” Angela said.
I frowned, “What are you planning on doing?”
Angela rolled her eyes, “I just invited you to eat with us, we’re planning something right away? Can’t we just want you to eat with us?”
“Why do you want me to eat with you?” I asked, “You really don’t like me and then you want me to eat with you? Who are you fooling with?”
She gritted her teeth before moving closer to me, “Don’t be too hard to get, okay? Ferries just ordered me to get you. Because I have no intention of talking to and approaching you if Ferries didn’t tell me. So, can you come with us? Just come with us voluntarily before I take you by force. ” She said, threatening me.
So, the real reason also came out. Ferries was the mastermind of this, I’m sure that she also ordered Angela yesterday to embarrass me in front of many people. Well, who else is the leader of these women? There is no one else but Ferries: the princess of the female demons who attend this school.
“I don’t want to come with you, Louis and I will eat together. Get out of my way.” I utter but they didn’t take even one step. They were still standing in front of me and blocking the door.
“You do not want to?” Angela’s left brow arched. She turned to the women behind her and gestured there before saying, “Get her.”This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
I immediately turned around to run but even before I could step on one I felt the hand of the women who were with Angela. They dragged me, I didn’t know where they were going to take me. Whatever I tried to get out of their grasp I couldn’t do it. How can I get away if there are a lot of them holding me?
We went down to the building and we walked behind it. There I saw Ferries sitting while there were a few students around her. She was wearing a birthday hat on her head and also had a cake in front of her placed on the table. When she noticed that we had arrived she immediately stood up. She smiled broadly before walking to greet us.
“Hey, let her go, can’t you see? She’s having a hard time because of your hold,” Ferries said. The women immediately let go of me and walked away from me. “Let’s go!” Ferries immediately pulled me over and sat me down in front of where she had been sitting earlier.
She sat across from me and gestured to Angela. Angela went to the corner and soon after she came up to me with a birthday hat and put it on me.
I frowned, “What’s this? What are you up to, Ferries?”
She shrugged, “I just want to celebrate my birthday with you, is that bad?” Then she grinned, “Here…” she handed me the cake, lighter and handed me the small candle. “I want you to light a candle for me.” she says.
Is there anything I can do? Even if I refused she would still force me to do what she said.
I took a deep breath before sticking the candle into the cake. I was about to light it when the cake suddenly rose and touched my face. The cake slipped down my face, I gasped in shock. When the cake fell I heard their loud laughter. Some even take photos and videos while I look like that.
Anger flared up in my chest as I watched Ferries laugh out loud as she held her phone pointed at me. Damn. I can’t take this anymore! I picked up the cake that had fallen and put it back on the table. Then I stood up violently and quickly pulled Ferries’ hair then knocked her face on the cake on the table.
Everyone around gasped and I’m sure that they also captured in the video when I knocked Ferries’ face on the cake. I lifted Ferries head and slapped her cheek hard. She touched the part of her cheek that I slapped before she turned to me. She stood up violently and pulled my hair. At first only Ferries’ hand was on my head, now there are many hands holding it.
Damn! Here we are again, they are ganging up on me again. Fuck. What should I do? The other bruises on my body were not healed yet and then they will add more again?
“Shit! How dare you do this to me?!” Ferries shouted angrily.
Even if I wanted to respond to what Ferries said and fight the people who are hurting me, I couldn’t. My body quickly weakened and I just found myself lying on the ground again. Damn. Does it have to happen over and over again? Is there nothing new? I just close my eyes while dealing with the pain. Damn. I hate this!
In the middle of them stepping on me I heard someone running. I don’t know how many feet it is but I can hear it approaching where we are. After a few seconds, the beaters stopped. Some time later I opened my eyes. When I opened my eyes, I was greeted by five pairs of shoes when I looked up at the owners and I just burst into tears.
What are they doing here? Are they the ones who did it? Did they plan all this? Damn. Didn’t I mention that those five will do something bad again? I was right. It’s a good thing I haven’t given my trust to Louis and Byron yet. But even though I’m still hurting, how many more times will they play with me? Aren’t they tired? Because I’m getting tired. I don’t do anything bad to them but why do they treat me like this? I think I just lived in the world to suffer for torture of people.
I didn’t even feel the love of a parent and even just the love of a friend I couldn’t get. Why is my life like this? Damn. I can’t stop the tears coming out of my eyes because of the pain they did to me earlier.
“What are you doing here, huh?!” Byron shouted, there was anger evident on his face.
Is he angry? Why? Is he just acting?
My gaze went to Louis as he squatted in front of me and helped me get up. He stroked my hair before looking me in the eye, “Are you okay?” He asked. He sighed before speaking again, “Of course, you’re not fine. I’m sorry we’re late.”
I was suddenly confused by what was happening. Why is he sorry for being late? Didn’t they come here because they were the boss? So… why? I remained silent and just stared at Louis. What is happening still doesn’t sink into my brain.
“I told you not to touch her! How many times should I tell you that, huh?!” Alyn’s voice echoed around which caught my attention.
His jaw tightened, it was obviously furious. When his eyes turned to me, I immediately averted my eyes. His eyes were too scary for me to return my gaze. Alyn’s aura has always been scary but it’s even scarier now.
I close my eyes when I suddenly feel dizzy. When I opened my eyes, I felt an earthquake. Louis speaks but I can’t hear that. He also slaps my cheek lightly as his lip continues to move. My eyes narrowed as darkness slowly engulfed my vision. I heard Ferries shout loudly before darkness completely engulfed my vision.
