' Look fatty witch is here '

' Oh gosh, now my whole day is ruined '

' Scholarship ass '

' hippo with specks '

' she is so ugly '

' God, her oily sticky hair, Ewww!! '

As I walk down the corridor my ears caught the words of the students on the way. Ultimately, my shoulder which I had pushed up in an attempt to bring out my confidence to walk past them went down with my head. They are standing near their locker firing fireballs at me by their piercing gazes while I am trying to reach my locker safe and sound. It's my daily task to do. It's not more than a week since I have got a transfer to this school. I have never thought in my wildest nightmare that my life will be messer after joining this school.

I curse the day I accept my father's decision for giving the scholarship exam and get transferred to this school. How bad I miss my old school I can't explain in words. I am a scholarship student and that's why I don't belong here. In this school, only dozens of students are who are poor and scholarship students and they have the same fate as me because we are pray of these rich brats. They never a single chance to show and clear to us that we can't be one of them.

Nevertheless, how hard I try to be confidential a little. All confidence ran out of my system when I took my first step on campus. As I stood before my locker my shoulder shrink down when the group of my classmates surround me. They snatch my bag and empty all the content on the floor including my tiffin.

One of them opened my tiffin box to look at my lunch and said " Oh my! This fatty ass wants to become a buffalo soon by eating boiled eggs so frequently ". I love eggs too much especially boiled eggs and that's why my mother made my favourite lunch for me every Saturday.

I tried hard not to let tears form a glassy wall over my eyes balls yet I couldn't dominate my willpower over my emotions. The hurt caused my tears to form a big ocean in my eyes causing my vision to turn blurry. One of them slapped my head away with a force that caused me to fall to the ground. However, I didn't protest either. All it matters to me is my homework which I have done and my notes. I don't want them to ruin my notes and homework.

My head remained lower. I didn't dare to look up at any of them or else the consequences will be worst. My ears didn't let their mockings reach to my brain saving my heart and a little bit left mental peace from serve damage. My silent sobs came to a stop when I heard " let's move guys. It's assembly bell "

Soon the corridor went silent after they all ran leaving me to help myself. Relief took over my heart finding that the show is finally ended. My moist eyes look at my empty lunch box which probably they have eaten while laughing at me. My books and notebooks are spreading over the floor and some are missing making me mentally whine in annoyance.

Gathering my all things and finding my missing stuff from the other corner of different lockers row I put my extra stuff in my locker and dust my clothes and wipe my face clean with my handkerchief.

With a quick run, I reach the assembly ground where other students are present. I join my class row and earned a poke over my back.

" What took you so long? Miss fatty queen! Was your hippo belly coming in a way to your steps? " the girl behind me mocked making me to took a step ahead so that she couldn't poke me. But who I am trying to save myself. She didn't stop as I again felt her repeating it from time to time in the prayer.

I sighed when I see finally, it was time to go back to our classes. My row started to move when I don't know who did that but someone pulled my right pony making me cry in pain. My fist clenched tight stopping my inner fury to come out. I don't want to mess with any of them because I know my parents wouldn't be able to stand before theirs.

When we reached our class corridor one guy pushed me aside making me fall after hitting my side body on the wall. He laughed at me throwing his arm around the girl who was behind me in the assembly row. Some students shook their heads with twisted lips but no one came forward to help me. Well, I remember their faces but not their names yet as I didn't catch their name properly.

Not wanting to cry before anyone. I jolt up and ran towards the washroom when again someone bully me by tracking me by his foot. I fall but stood up in the snap of a finger and ran to the washroom hearing those stupid students laughing in the background.

I locked the main door of the washroom not wanting to be alone in here with another psycho bully. I set on the closed toilet seat and sobbed silently.

After controlling my emotions and putting them in check and washed my face and dried it with my handkerchief. My moist and red eyes study my appearance. My neat and clean uniform is not enough for me to look among them. My chubby and overweight form is the reason for them bullying me, probably. Combing my hair decently with my fingers I looked at my red face one more time before rushing to my classroom.

I sit in the last row in the corner. This was the decision of my class monitor as in her eyes I am not worthy enough to sit in the front row despite the fact I am small in height they still made me sit in the last row because of that I always face difficulty to writing down on my notebook from the board. Especially, in my maths class as our maths teacher solves problems on the board.

However, at some points, I am grateful for my place. My seat is just beside the window from where I can look down in the assembly ground. I am grateful that tomorrow is Sunday and my sister is coming to meet me. I am excited about that as at least I can have a day with peace and no stress. I wore my glasses after taking them out of my bag. I have already lost my one set on the first day here and now this one is left which I have to save from these bullies.

I wrote down the important points in my rough notebook to make notes in my home on them. It was about to interval when someone threw a crumpled paper ball at me. I ignored it and concentrate on what my maths teacher was explaining on the board. However, the paper balls didn't stop hitting me.

" Do any one of you have any doubt? " the teacher questioned making me raise my hand high as I have a question that I couldn't solve the previous night.

The teacher smiled at me showing his dimple making my heart flutter. Yes, I have a crush on him and why wouldn't I? when he is so kind and sweet to everyone. But he is married however I know that every student admires him and his married status is not enough for my heart to stop admiring him. The math class I love more because of him. He is the best teacher.

" Hello, cute intelligent student. Show me the question " He said in his polite voice looking at my notebook. I showed him the question which he explained while solving it in seconds making me just agape my mouth in shock.

" That was easy " I let out looking at the solution to which he pats my head and said " You understood the method that's why"

The bell ring and the teacher left the class after taking his stuff. The moment the teacher left I felt a rain of paper ball over me as many of my classmates hit me together.

I didn't say anything and soon my clothes were drenched as one of them had emptied their water bottle at me. I palmed my mouth and wait for them to leave me alone. As they left out of the class I set on my seat and wipe away the water from my face and clothes. However, now my shirt is clung to my chest showing my inner clothes as it's a white shirt.

Sighing at my pity self I dumped all trash inside the dustbin of my class. I don't understand one thing from where they got this much money to waste by throwing their notebooks papers at me.

After waiting a little more I walked out of my class as expected the corridors are all pin-drop silent. I rush to my locker where I found some boys eating burgers and some are chanting while having energy bars. If you are wondering why class and corridors are empty and silent it's because they are in the cafeteria of this school which is enough massive to fill them up.

We all have our lunch in the cafeteria but I don't join it even though my fee was filled by the government for passing my scholarship exam but yet I don't go there because I don't want to be pray of any one of them. That's why I usually take my lunch box. My first-day experience is still fresh in my head. I was so excited on my first day but when I introduced myself in my class everything changed in the interval. I was having my food seating at one of the seats when one classmate empty my food over my head and make fun of my status. That's was the day when I realise that I don't belong here. I am different from them and not welcome in their world.

Taking my sports t-shirt from my locker I locked it and went to the washroom to change. I was coming out of the washroom when on the way out I banged on someone. Fear cursed my spins down. I don't know who I banged.

" So, sorry child. Are you alright? " A very concerned and manly voice questioned. I dare to lift my head and found my school principal standing right before me with a smile on his face.

" Good afternoon sir " I greet him after snapping out from the shock. The principal is out of his office means there is something important as he hardly got time to step out of his office room.

" Good afternoon child. What are you doing here? In the interval period, you are supposed to be having your lunch. Why are you roaming in the corridor? " he questioned while I felt the presence of another man with him who is also looking quite interesting to know the reason. He is the same age as my principal sir. However, I didn't spare any glance in his direction but felt one more person with him who was probably new admission. It must be a shock in my nerves that didn't let my attention move away from my principal teacher who is now waiting for my answer.

" I was just going to " I lied to him to which he nodded his head probably not catching my lie.

" It's good then. Come with us we are also heading there only " He said and moved ahead. With hanging low head I followed him in the hope to be safe. As I can't cover my ears to block the voice of their conversation, I heard their talk from which I learnt that indeed this guy walking beside me is a new student and today he got admission and his father must be some rich man that's why principal sir is giving him a tour of the school campus by himself. The good thing in this is he is not on any scholarship one or else his life will be worst than mine as boy bullies worst than girls. But It will be a disappointment if he turns into a bully showing his rich brat ass. We were near the cafeteria when I heard echoing sounds of the students' talk.

Only if I had transportal power in me then I would have disappeared from here to somewhere where I can hide. My anxiety is that I don't recall the nightmare which I had experienced in the cafeteria the first day. However, little do I know that I can't forget it even if I don't go to the cafeteria. The incident and humiliation are as fresh in my head as yesterday because my nightmare didn't let them turn old.

Dead silence welcome my ears the moment principal sir entered the cafeteria. Later on, some gasp and giggles of girls followed. Few students greet the principal sir while he requests them to sit and have their food. I didn't dare to look up for a single second just silently tailed behind the principal sir like a lost puppy.

I was the last one to fill my plate. I saw that no seat is vacant. On every bench, one or two students are sitting. Some benches are filled. However, I can join the two or one students who have occupied the whole bench but I don't have the guts to sit with anyone of them. I found the last bench where I saw my category students having their food.

Without acknowledging my surroundings I moved to them when out of the blue my body imbalanced and hit the floor. Later on first surprised gasp then laughter followed. I didn't miss the chance to become shocked because since when they started to have concern for me which make them gasp for me. Probably it's an act before principal sir. Damage is already done no matter how hard I tried to save myself from this accident. I tried to get up but my knees and palm hurt. My body burnt when I stood up threatening my tears to go back from where they jumped over my vision making it blurry.

I looked for my plate first on the floor then around me when accidentally my eyes fall on the principal sir's table where I saw him taking tissue papers and handing over to the boy who is now turned to face me with his furious eyes. First I absent-mindedly admired him like a fangirl because he is so cute and handsome. Later on, sense knock back into my brain and the admiring look flew out of the window with no sound of breaking window glass. The fury over his handsome face made him ugly and horrible. His eyes snapped around the hall and laughter died with his gazes. Oh! How much I wish to have the same power then my life would have been happy heaven.

' Oh my God! I am dead now. My plate flew to him and empty its whole content over him but thank God principal sir and his father were sitting before him across the table that's why they are safe ' I thought while banging my head over the stone. I shouldn't have come here.

His jaw clenched and he fisted his hands looking at me madly. As if he was making some decisions in his head but my throat burnt to laugh when the liquid of the curry fall from his hair stands to his chest in a small stream. I bite my lower lip hard trying not to laugh nevertheless, my lips let out a small chuckle causing him to give me a challenging look. Ultimately, I palmed my mouth and lowered my head.

' You should drop your this bad habit of laughing at the wrong moment. One day it will bring you in deep trouble ' my brain suggests.

' But I think it's too late for that because I am already in deep trouble ' I thought when I saw him moving in my direction while his father and principal followed him.

' Please, tell me he is a nice guy and he is not going to make my life hell ' I panicked looking only at him. He stopped at a good distance when my nostril hit the smell of tasty food which was coming from him obviously. After all, it was my work. Huh? Not mine, but some evil stupid dead head bully's.

" Well, it's a nice way to welcome you senior on his first visit " He mumbled under his breath only for me to hear but I think the other student too heard him as I heard them saying ' She is dead now '. So, he is my senior.

Their words made me swallow hard looking at him. His eyes shone in evilness as he smirked at the girl beside me sitting on their bench.

" Indeed! " He let out cutting the supply of air in my lungs by his threats. My skin burn due to goosebumps as he smirked at my shocked face.

" Aren't you going to laugh now? " He mocked making it sure that now I have highlighted my name in his red book.

' Oh, you stupid girl. Apologies to him before he makes his mind to join the bully group ' my brain warned me.

" I am sincerely sorry senior. It was not even my fault. Someone, I mean somehow I stumbled in my walk and fall and eventually the plate fall at you. I am deeply sorry " I sang the apology song stopping myself from spelling the truth that one of these girls tackled me. I thought to call him brother but the vibe and look he was giving me didn't help me to call him.

" It's alright, child. Accidents happen but are you alright? " the father of this rude dude said sounding cornered for me the moment he stood beside his son and chuckle at his condition. The guy looks at his dad who shushes his chuckle and smiled at me.

" I am all okay. But I am sorry for all this " I again apologise but this time to his father who pat my head with a smile and said " It's alright. You should have your food before the ring "

My cheeks burnt with embarrassment when I caught principal sir's gaze. He is disappointed with me for sure as I saw that in his eyes however little did he look relieved. Probably because this boy didn't create a scene.

They left the area while I moved back to my classroom in the hope to save myself from more trouble. I was running in the corridor of my class when out of nowhere a hand-pulled me inside the boy washroom.

" Dare you to scream girl! " he warned before sliding his palm away from my mouth. My budge eyes rest a little when he moved away with a disgusted expression. I felt my heart pumping madly inside my ribcage. God! I was about to have a heart attack. Anger rushed into my veins but courage didn't to show it to him.

' What's wrong with him? He makes faces a lot like those spoil dramatic girls but he is a guy so he should behave like one ' I thought and ultimately chuckled which he heard and glared at me.

The realisation hit me. I am standing in the boys' washroom and if someone saw me in here with him then I can't even imagine what rumours will be spread on the campus. My small reputation will be spoiled.

" Here wash it " he threw his t-shirt over my face making me come back to reality. Not having any option I just nod and didn't look in his direction. After all, I am not into him and even not that courageous to eye a half-naked guy.

" Where the fuck do you think you are going little chubby mouse? " He snapped at me rudely making me halt in my steps however I didn't turn to him and opened the washroom door.

" I will wash it in a minute but not here " saying I closed the door behind me with a bang.

" What does he think he is? And how dare him to call me a mouse? My height is indeed small than his so it's okay for me if he called me small and I am chubby too but I am human not a mouse! I am sure he has poor eyesight. I'll nibble on his clothes like a mouse!" I mumbled washing his t-shirt with water to clean the food contact away from it but the yellow and green marks of curry is not going away. So, I didn't work on it that good.

As I heard the bell ring I ran out from the washroom and saw him in his jacket showing off his naked upper body. I mentally rolled my eyes but succeed to get a small glimpse of his stomach which is built hard with strong abbs. So, he is a gym guy!

" Here is your t-shirt " I hand him which he took and studies.

" It's not clean at all " he complained.

" I also can see it. I don't have a dishwasher fit in my hands to wash it clean. " I don't know how I lose control over my tongue and it threw sarcasm at him. Instantly my body burnt with his heated gaze.

He clutches my forearm tightening his hold into painful around my forearm. I gasped as he pulled me closer to his face. His hot breath fanned my pale cheeks. I sniff his fragrance as he was close to my breathing area. As he bring his lips near my ear made me flinch in fear as I expect him to hit me or push me but he hushed over my ear " Sadly, you dare to mock me. Now no one can save you from me, scholarship! "

I root to the stop while he moved with the other student who were watching the show with a broad smirk and teasing the guy who just threatened me a second before.
