CHAPTER 2

“Uhm, Auntie I did wash my ha--“

“Shut up! I didn’t tell you to talk!”

“Eunice! Stop talking back to your Auntie Emily!”

“But I am not-- “ I look around and they’re all looking at me.

“S-Sorry... I’m sorry Auntie Emily, I’ll never talk back to you again.” I bit my lower lip and just bowed my head.

“Just shut up and eat.” They all muttered.

We started eating, then Uncle Rommel drove us off to school. He was the only one who drove us to school.

“Hey, Eunice! Dad said that he won’t fetch us this afternoon because he has something to do.” Sara said. I nodded as an answer.

I’m one year older than her, she’s Uncle Rommel’s daughter.

When I entered the room, I immediately avoided seeing a plastic bottle thrown at me.

“Sh*t, nice she avoids it again!” He clapped his hand while looking at me badly.

“Hey Eunice, next time don’t avoid it okay! Damn, you’re so boring.” If I’m not going to avoid it, I might get hurt by that bottle. I’m not dumb to just let that happen.

“S-Sorry...” I just said. 

I was about to sit in my chair when suddenly someone pulled up my chair so I sat on the floor. I stand up and looked at who pulled my chair, it’s Natasha.

She chuckled and rolled her eyes at me. She’s always like that. I should get used to it because she does that every morning.

“Hey! Prof is coming-- ouch! Ouch!” Prof pinched his ear. He didn’t realize that prof was already there behind him standing.

I heard them laughing because prof is still pinching Reymark’s ear.

“Okay, class! Get one whole sheet of paper, we have a quiz today.” Prof said and I hear the complaints of my classmates.

“Nah, prof we are not yet ready!’

“Prof I’m ready. I studied last night,” I said and stood up. Little by little I sat down again when I notice that all of my classmates were looking at me badly.

‘Did I say something wrong?’ I asked myself in my mind.

“F*ck! That b*tch again!”

“Argg, I want to slap her right now!

“Should I just kill her?”

“She’s annoying! Always!”

I heard them whisper inside the classroom.

“Shut up! Get one whole sheet of paper right now! I don’t care if you are all not ready, it’s your fault, not mine! Understood?!”

We immediately took a piece sheet of paper. I think they got suddenly scared when prof shouted.

Oh no... where’s my pen again? Where did it go? I looked around and stood up. I saw Erwin so, I walk towards him.

“H-Hey Erwin, can I borrow your pen? I forgot again where I put mine.” He looked at me from the head down to my toes.

“Here, take it.”

I smiled at him, even though his expression was still the same.

“Thank you--“

“Don’t thank me. I’m giving it to you because you’re annoying! Oh, don’t give it back to me, understood?!”

“Still, I’m going to thank--“

“Yeah, whatever!” I bit my lower lip. He rolled his eyes at me.

“Eunice, what are you doing there? We’re getting started!” I immediately sat in my chair again.

After having a quiz, prof left. I got perfect on our quiz. Hmm, I’m the only one who got it perfect. All of my classmates are zero. They didn’t even write something on their paper. So, what’s the use of their pen then?

I looked at Anastasha when she suddenly shouts.

“Damnnnn!!! Where is my hair pen!? Who took it!!”

“Hey, can someone help me find my f**king hair pen!” I looked at Natasha when she smirked.

Oh my god... did she take it?? God, this is trouble!

“Ehem, is this yours?”

“F**k you! You took it again!! Give me that!” Anastasha come near to us and she was about to take the hair pen but Natasha raised her hand.

“Na-ah, give me my hair pen first. I know that you’re the one who hides it.”

Anastasha took something from her bag.

“Damn! Here! Take it b*tch!”

“Let me remind you, Natasha. You’re more than a bitch than me!” Natasha suddenly pulled Anastasha’s hair.

They are twins, but they always fight. If I were them, I will be happy to have each other. It will be so nice to have a twin.

Because I feel so lonely honestly, I’m the only daughter but... It’s fine though. Maddie is there for me. I treated her like my sister and she treated me like her older sister. She’s a naughty kid, but she’s also kinda and sweet to me.

I looked back and forth between the two of them, I bit my nail.

What should I do? I need to stop them! I am the class president here so, I should not let anyone fight, prof will scold me if he’ll find out about this.

“Hey, stop it,” I said in front of the two of them, but they didn’t listen.

“S-Stop it, the prof will scold us about this.” I calmly said again.

“If you don’t want to get involved, do not interfere Eunice!!”

“I SAID STOP IT!” I shouted to them and they both stopped. They glared at me. My heart is now beating so fast, I’m so nervous.

What are they planning to do to me?

“Did you just f**king shout at us!!? What right do you have to shout at us huh Eunice!!” Natasha raised her eyebrow at me and she crossed her arm.

“I... I didn’t mean to---ouchh! That hurts...”

They started pulling my hair. I heard the laughter of my classmates here in the classroom. They were around us and just watching Natasha and Anastasha pulling my hair.

The two of them just stopped when suddenly the bell rang, they took their bags and went out of the classroom as if nothing had happened. 

I wiped my tears and stood up.

“What can you get by just crying, Eunice...” I muttered.

You shouldn’t be crying because you’re already used to this right, Eunice? A lot of students always bully you since your first year, so you should just overcome it and think of it as your daily routine. You need to graduate and make Mom proud of you, Eunice.

I took my bag and went out to the classroom as if nothing happened. 

_

I looked around and saw that there was an empty table, hmm that’s the always empty table. I don’t know, but I have not seen anyone else eating there. It looks like that table is already reserved for me.

I just shrugged and walked towards it. I put down the tray and sat on the chair. 

I was about to eat but all the girls here in the cafeteria suddenly shouted like they’d seen an actor or superstar or something like that, and so I looked at too who they were looking at...

A tall man, with a pointed nose, and kissable lips... he had earrings in his ear and a tattoo on his hand.

He looks like a bad boy type. Is he a student here? Why is he not in uniform?
