Miss Wallflower

"Miss Morven!"I immediately lifted my head from the desk when I heard our professor. He's standing in front of me. Maybe I was sleeping again so I wasn't able to listen to prof's discussion. I was also seated at the back near the classroom window."Are you listening, Miss Morven?" Prof raised his left eyebrow while he asked me that."I'm sorry," was my only response. Suddenly, the school bell has rung, signifying that the class has ended, and that it is time for the next subject. "The bell has rung." Prof sighed once he turned my back on me. "Tomorrow, we'll continue the discussion."Before prof left, he turned to me once again. "Miss Morven, I hope this won't happen again." Prof stated with disappointment, and he left.I sighed. Why is it necessary to study? I want to stay at home, in my room, specifically."Hey, Marigold."Oh here we go again. Do they really see no other victim but me? By the

Just like I expected, Neil didn't even contribute in answering the activities. I answered all the questions alone.I'm currently walking to the canteen still with my headphone on my head and a full volume. I don't want any connection with my surroundings. I just bought snacks and looked for a vacant table around. As I looked around, my attention went to Neil. He's sitting alone in a table. A guy went near him, looks like he's a freshman. He did the salute and uttered something. Neil, too, did the salute. Afterwards, the freshman did the push up. What is he doing? Afterwards, the freshman walked away. Neil accidentally looked to my direction. When he saw me, he widened his eyes like he didn't expect I would be here. I was about to look away, avoiding his gaze but he uttered something. However, I didn't heard him. I looked to my side, thinking that he's talking to somebody but I saw no one. He shook his head in disappointment so I removed

There were still students staring at me. And I heard them murmuring. "What's with Marigold and Neil?""Geez, now I'm jealous.""Neil notice that geek but not us? She's not even pretty, is she?"Annoying. I don't have my headphone so I no longer have a shield from all their gossips. So I just went inside the classroom. All my classmates glared at me. "What's with you, freak? Why would Neil waste his time for you? You're not even worthy of his time. You're a freak, weirdo, geek. Look at yourself, you're ugly. You're not an inch of my nail!" Ella crossed her arms infront of her chest.I just sighed. Calm down, Marigold. Just ignore them.I was about to go to my seat but.. Ella stood up and blocked me."Don't ignore me, freak.""I don't want a fight, Ella, please."But she grinned. "But I love it. And we love it. Right, guys?" Then he turned to our classmates. Most of them agree. "Now, entertain us, geek."

I nailed my eyes on the glass I'm holding. I don't feel comfortable especially that the three ducklings are here with me. I can't even pick just an inch of food from the table because I am very conscious of my movements."You look wonderful, by the way." My eyes widened when I heard Kit spoke. Even though I'm not looking at him, I know that he is referring to me."What's wonderful with her? She looks trash," I heard Ella said."Your attitude is trash," Kit talked back.I prevented myself from laughing even though I badly wanted to let it out. I never thought Kit would say that, though."What are you laughing at, geek?" I looked up at Ella when she suddenly grabbed my arm as she stood up. She looked pissed and her grip on me tightened.I just looked at her innocently, wondering why she suddenly got pissed even though I'm not doing anything."I didn't laugh," I calmly stated."Oh, really? I know you were laughing, ugly! Don't you

I stood up from my seat with my chin up. Everyone's eyes were on me as I walk out of the venue. For the first time in my life, I never thought I would be this confident. I never thought that the presence of everyone didn't make me uneasy.When I finally went out the venue, no one was around. I let out a loud sigh as I held my chest. I felt my heart pounding fast. What did I just do? I just saved Ella from the fate that she might possibly be in if I didn't interfere. I just saved someone who made fun of me, who bullied me at school. Am I doing the right thing?"So, how was the party? Isn't it too early for you to be home?" my brother asked me as soon as I entered the mansion. He was watching the TV in the living room while he's drinking something. He's sitting on the couch with his legs crossed."I'm not feeling well, brother," I stated without energy. I walked like a zombie and sat beside him. I watched the TV but my focus isn't on it but to the scene I made at
