Mean-spirited Bullies

Olivia POV

They were glaring at me dangerously and I took a deep breath, refusing to let the triplets intimidate me. They may be popular and powerful, but I wasn't going to let them control my emotions anymore. I had found my voice, and I was going to use it, no longer daft to make them treat like I am some sort of animal or an object, Never!. No matter their glares right now, I am ready to deal with them if they dare cross their boundaries.

As we walked into the classroom, I noticed Hailey whispering something to the triplets and I smirked, let's see what they are gonna do, I am full time ready for them, a smug smile on her face. I knew they were talking about me But instead of feeling scared or weak, a fire ignited within me. It was time to confront them head on, Looking for their trouble first, it's a good thing to start my day with.

I walked up to the triplets, a determined look in my eyes and a sly smile lingered on my face as I walked towards them.

"You know, it's really fascinating how you all think you're so superior and the best because of a little formality added to your name But let me tell you something, the only power you have is the power you allow others to have over you. You are nothing than just brats who love bullying others because they are called Royals and funny enough that name doesn't suits them or did it?" I smiled crookedly placing my hand on my lips and few person's erupted in laughter while the rest glared at me for insulting their favourite.

They looked at me, a mix of surprise and annoyance on their faces wondering where the guts came from but I am not even done with them.

I continued, my voice steady and unwavering. "You've been riding on your family's reputation for far too long and you know what?. It's about time someone stood up to you and showed you that there's more to life than your petty games and self-importance because it sucks" I flipped my hair and hit it on Hailey's face knowingly, She almost rush to touch me but Bethany was fast to hold her. Hailey paused and tried to talk and I cut her off quickly.

The triplets exchanged glances, clearly taken aback by my boldness.

"No, Hailey, I don't want to hear your snarky remarks or threats. From now on, you and your posse can stay out of my way. I won't be intimidated by your so-called power when your dad does not even have a high rank,just a right hand man to the king and you are acting like he is a king. Stop feeling like a queen because you dad is just a right hand man not the King,quit your feeling on top of the world brat" I ranted at her angrily and the The triplets stared at me in disbelief, their usual air of superiority slowly fading. It was a small victory, but it gave me the boost of confidence I needed. I turned away from them, feeling a sense of liberation wash over me.

"Luca, Lucien, Lucas!!. Can you just listen to what this brat is saying, she just made a laughing stock to this school" Hailey finally found her voice, I was thinking her tongue was tied because she couldn't talk for about five minutes,the students laughter was the only one that erupted the building but right now she just found her voice.

"You've found your voice huh?, I was thinking your cat tied your tongue" I blurted out and everyone laugh again, She was holding her cat firmly ruffling her hair not believing that this is happening.

The triplets couldn't hold it anymore, they walked out in shame, they didn't even say a word. This is what they get from dealing with me.

"We will meet at home" That was the last word I heard from Lucien before they all dissapeared, I almost burst out laughing but held it in and took Bethany's hand heading back to our sit.

Bethany groaned and stomped her foot on the ground before heading out with her minions who gnash their teeth together acting like they want to kill me but that didn't get to me, Bethany shook my hand as we sat down.

"That was bold" She whispered to me immediately the Miss that was to take us walked inside the classroom.

"I learnt from the best" I whispered back and we smiled at each other then faced the board because, lecture has started already.

"Jeez!, I am fucking tired,today was a long day. The assignments are much, this is my first day for crying out loud" I lamented as the bell rang, finally going home.

"You are a lazy head, this is just day one and you are already complaining,get ready for more" Bethany replied and I gasped, chuckling at Bethany's playful teasing.

"Alright, alright, I guess I do need to toughen up a bit. But honestly, the workload is insane!. My previous school was a little bit stress free but right now, I think my head is heating up and I don't know what to call it. Maybe before this week end, Fire is gonna be burning my head and no one will see me clearly again" I joked and She spanked my head, laughing wholeheartedly.

"I think you are insane right now!" She screamed dramatically as we gathered our things and made our way out of the classroom, I couldn't help but feel grateful for Bethany's friendship. Despite being part of the popular crowd, She's just to kind to be real, I don't even know anything about her but I think I will ask her about it soon. We walked side by side down the hallway, discussing our plans for the evening, waiting for the triplets driver to come. I must join them this time, not gonna trek home. They were also in a far distant, maybe waiting for the driver to come pick them up too, we are in this together. Hailey was there too, what a good evening to start another drama.

"So, what do you say we grab some popcorn and then maybe catch a movie on Saturday which is a free day to relieve the stress of this darn school?" I suggested, a smile forming on my lips and she beamed nodding her head enthusiastically.

"That sounds perfect! I could definitely use a break from all the drama for the whole week, it's gonna be so fun and I can't wait, Anticipating it already!" She jumped up happily like a little child who was giving a candy.

We reached the school entrance and stepped out into the crisp evening air. As we made our way outside, the triplets and Hailey was trailing behind our back. I noticed a familiar face sitting alone on a bench nearby as we were walking. It was Emily, a timid and quiet girl from our class who the Triplets bullied today, she was also a victim to the triplets.

Without a second thought, I turned to Bethany. "Hey, do you mind if we invite Emily to join us? She could use some company, especially the fact that she is also a victim of bullying by the triplets and Hailey especially" I pointed my hands at Emily and Bethany traced her eyes towards the direction.

Bethany looked at me with admiration in her eyes. "You really are something, Olivia. Of course, let's go talk to her. I have been waiting for this day because I liked her but she's always quiet and blunt because of the pressure she do get from Hailey especially.

We approached Emily, who looked up with surprise on her face when she saw us. I smiled warmly at her.

"Hey, Emily. Would you like to join us for dinner and a movie on Saturday? We'll make sure the triplets and Hailey stay far away" I assured her and she frowned a little,I had to use my eye to plead.

Emily's eyes lit up with gratitude. "Th-thank you, Olivia. That would be really nice. I... I don't want to face them alone anymore"She stuttered sniffing in tears and I hugged her immediately patting her back.

Bethany stepped in, offering her support. "Don't worry, Emily. We're here for you. Let's all stick together and show them that their bullying won't break us, we will stand for ourselves" We hugged each other and finally the driver pull up, the Triplets and Hailey rushed to the car with angry looks on their face, No one needs to tell me that they are gonna yell at their driver because of the late coming. Can't they drive themselves or their hands something is wrong with it.

"Good bye Emily and Bethany, I need to rush in before they leave him" I waved my hands at them and ran out hurriedly to the car.

Hailey entered and I rushed to the front seat because none of them chooses to sit here and it's the only free space left. They all diverted their gaze at me and burst out laughing.

"You are not joining us, get out of this car this minute" Lucien yelled furiously and I scoffed, Time to give it back to them again, They can't intimidate me. I must join them in here, I don't care if they like it or not, I am now a Royal because they are my step brother so I won't trek like I did this morning.

I took a deep breath, refusing to let their laughter and comments get to me.

"Actually, Lucien, I am joining this car ride " I said calmly, staring him down with determination in my eyes, I want to be calm as cool as possible before I start my drama.

"I'm tired of being treated poorly just because I'm your stepsister. I deserve to be treated with respect and I think I have said it before,I have had enough of your nonsense"I hissed and entered the car,The triplets exchanged glances, clearly surprised by my confident response. Hailey, always quick to jump in and stir up trouble, gave me a smirk.

"Oh please, Olivia. You're nothing but a charity case. We will let you tag along because it makes our parents happy, but don't think for a second that you're one of us" Hailey tongued lashed me, I looked at Hailey, unfazed by her words.

"Actually, I don't want to be like you. I don't want to be a mean-spirited bully who thrives on putting others down. I'd rather be kind and inclusive. And the last time I checked, The Lycan king is not your dad so I will urge you to keep your mouth shut when Family members are talking because you are not one" I fired back at her and the triplets faded their phone without saying a word.

As the car started moving, tension filled the air. The triplets seemed taken aback by my response, unable to come up with a snarky comeback. Hailey crossed her arms and stared out the window, clearly annoyed by my refusal to back down.

I turned my attention to the front seat, where the driver was waiting patiently. "Thank you for picking me up," I said with a smile. "I appreciate it"I added and The driver, a kind older man with a gentle smile, nodded.

"It's my pleasure, Olivia. Don't let them get to you. Stay true to yourself"He muttered, His words warmed my heart, and I smiled at him which he returned.

As we reached our destination, I turned to the triplets and Hailey. "I hope you all get ready for the new me" I mouthed eating from my chips. " But just remember, you don't have to bring others down to feel good about yourselves. True strength comes from lifting others up, I will remind you this forever"With that, I opened the car door and stepped out, leaving them stunned and speechless.

I walked away with my head held high, Not really entered Inside when one of them dragged me and pushed me then...
