Chapter 5: The Bad Burn

April pov:

I am going to school early because we have a PE activity now. But before I go to school, I first went to the hospital to give the food to my father, I also intructed Doctor Alvarez to call me immediately once there was an emergency which he agreed to. I quickly went down the bus to catch up my PE class. Deafening laughter and teasing were once again enveloping those around me but I didn't pay any attention to them anymore. I have more important matters to prioritize than them. Even if I had a chance to fight them, I still have the courage and power to fight them because I am afraid that I might not be able to study again if I beat up those spoiled brat like them. They don't experience the hardships of life that's why they act like they were the most powerful aside from God and I don't worship those evil fake God like them.

I kept walking until I reached the locker room, I quickly changes my PE clothes and when I finished, I almost ran toward the tracking field when I heard the voice of a person calling my name. I didn't stop walking even I heard it, I kept thinking and trying to ignore who calling my name. In my mind, I know it was those bullies and they wanted to make me a hobby again.

“Hey April!” someone's loud voice calling again “Pleased, wait for us!” I stopped and quickly turned my body to face them, I recognized who was calling me not once but many times.

“Are you a deaf? We call you several times but seems you can't hear anything.” like a childish resentment that Mave said, my gay friend.

“By the way, how's your mother? Is she ok?” its a worried question to me. I just sighed then I shook my head repeatedly. “Be strong girl, I know your are so brave and tough.” I was relieved by what Sofia said. “I thought I lost my mom, but thanks be to God he listen my prayer. But, she still in commatose.” my sad news to them, the reactions of their faces become sad as mine.

“You're too work-a-holic, are you still alright?” I stared at Mila's face with a blank reaction.

“I mean, you study hard in the morning, after the class you will go to the hospital to watch over your mother. In the evening, you work part time as a waitress on the bar. Does your father know that you're a part timer now?” Sofia asked worriedly.

Even though I feel so pale, I tried to smile at them to show them that I could still handle everything and I can't stand behind my heavy problems I was carrying.

I first walked them closer to the badmenton net where we would play my opponents in the game. I noticed my friends never followed me but I continued to walk. Loud calling of my name I heard caused me to turn around, a quick event took place. At the same time as I turned around something hard hit my head. In an instant, I just felt my world spinning until I was completely unconscious until my vision gradually darkened. When I opened my eyes, I was surprised by what I saw but my amazement prevailed because I saw the most famous and heart throb group on campus, one of them was Sean Clinton Ramos, the son of the owner of this school. I am surrounded by seven handsome and well -built ‘Bad Burn’ groups.

This man close to me with long eyelashes and always smiling and was nicknamed ‘Womanizer’ because he used his charms to attrached those freaking girls. Many girls flirt him and turned out to be a toy of Troy Allan Guevarra. The man next to him was Bryan Casfer Medina, he was the most barbaric and mischievous in their group.

My introduction is round since they surround me so I will list them all one by one. Next to Bryan was Leo Ryan Mercado, he was the crush of my friend Sofia. He is tall, handsome, he has dimples on both cheeks but his smile was not close up because of his teeth and it turn to distract girls and that was discourages about him especially when he smiles. No, not all girls only me. I mostly attracted to a perso who has brightened smiles. He was followed by his cousin Andrei Tolentino, he was Karen's ex boyfriend but Daisy, his bestfriend, betrayed Karen and Daisy took away him and until now, they have not gotten along again, they never continue their frienship, I heard some gossip bees around their frienship was over. Next to Andrei is Jayson Alvarez, he was tall, dark and handsome he is also the one I meet in the music session because we both love music. And I can’t deny the fact that he’s a super hunk, all the girls in the music class are crazy about him but he’s too snobbish. Mark Fuentes, on the other side, has the most attractive and has big body like a black belter man, he is a young CEO and heir and most of all he is my ultimate crush that I don't want to tell anyone because I'm afraid of what will happen to me when those who like him find out that I like him too.

What can I be proud of and against a rich man like him, and the son of a well -known businessman. I am nothing existing his world, in his eyes, ‘I am MISS NOBODY’. Even though I love him, I can't directly tell him that I like him, my life will definitely be even more chaotic when he finds out about how I feel. And the one closest to me right now, he’s Sean Clinton the well -known ice king of the campus. He was the most handsome of them all. He has a pointed nose, long eyelashes and thick eyebrows, above all, most attractive him was his red lips. Then the color of his skin was so white that it looked like an unreal person like ‘Edward Cullin in twighlight’. They are probably the luckiest creatures that live on the face of the earth.

“Ms. Are you okay? ” Troy asked, worriedly to me, “What? Is she doing? Is she really okay?” Bryan added, “Move over, why does she look like an idiot?” annoyed Sean Clinton said, “Don't worry guys, she's fine!” calm said by Jayson, “Yes, she is. She's awake now!” cold added from Andrei.

“I think couzin, she's not totally fine.” demented said from Leo. They all asked me. But, I remained lying down, blinking my eyes as if I had just returned to reality. I saw Mark swap positions with Sean Clinton so I was very confused and I felt like I got up quickly which caused me to bump my head on Mark's forehead. He winced in pain, his friends quickly got up when they saw that I was ok.

"Ouch/I'm sorry!" we said almost at the same time. I didn't think and bear the pain in my head when something hard hit me earlier. All I knew to do was, get rid of the pain on Mark's forehead so it wouldn't make me angry. We stared at each other for a moment and suddenly our skin touched each other. The nervousness in my chest is too strong again. I suddenly realized when Troy spoke again "Does it hurt dude?" he jokingly said as if teasing his friend.

“It looks like Miss Nobody is retaliating against you because of the force of the impact you made on her. You hit her in the head with a basketball.” I stared at Troy and then at Mark back at Troy again as if I couldn't think straight because of what I heard. "You're really the best dude, look Miss Nobody looks traumatized because of the strong impact that hit her." Bryan laughed out loud accompanied by his friends. My sorroundings covered the laughter from the Bad Burn Group. I stared at Mark badly as I thought I was going to explode with rage because of what I heard and until now I still have a headache because of what he did.

"It's you?" I asked furiously then I quickly got up from sitting "Are you the one who hit my head?" his forehead furrowed, everyone stopped laughing "Dude, Miss Nobody is asking you?" Leo teases Mark.

"Don't you really know how to apologize to the people you hurt?" I bravely said.

"Ohhhhh dude, 1 point!" his friends shouted as if they were teasing me even more.

"Do you want to know if I was hurt?" Mark remained silent as he stared at me “Well, I will make you feel the pain. Tell me if it's hurts.” they all thought about what I said. I moved away a little then I punched him with full force. It retreated but did not fall, I felt the pain in my fist but I did not reveal that I was hurt.

“Tell me if it doesn't hurt? I will throw a basketball in your face just to feel you the pain I felt.” they all fell silent as if startled.

“I'm tired of you all laughing at me because I am damn shit Ms. Nobody who was a daughter of a poor parents and you are all rich, you can afford to buy everything but never my dignity not even my soul. I'm tired of being bullied." I almost crying because of the heavy weight.

“Your born rich but you don't know what is the right manners. You don't even know how to respect. You are all can buy everything but your behavior was HOLLY SHIT!” full of irritations I said that made everyone quite.

“Your standard was too high like this university. I was born in poverty but absolutely I'm rich than you in when it comes on habit. I'm smartest person but I am not exist im your world because I am nothing in the life of brats child like you.” I even move closer to Mark as I give him an evil stare. “You're always call me that I'm nothung but Miss Nobody. You f*cking man how dare you to insult my capacity?” full of anger I said, I couldn't realize that my tears dripping from my checks without being aware of it.

“If you don't still feel the pain I'm feeling right now, just tell me. No, I mean, don't bother to say, I know its hard for you to feel the pain that I feel because you never be part poverty and being one of the victim of bullying in this hopeless school. All the students here was so damn higher standard.” I continue speak. “By the way, thanks to you!” I saw bas burn had different reactions on their faces at what I said.

“Asking why? Finally because of you, I was able to defend myself for the very first time after how many years I was studying here.” After I said that, I left the area with heavy mood I was carrying on my chest. Hopefully, in my self -defense, I will not be a victim of bullying anymore.

I wish, I could be a normal student who can continue study without anyone disgusting everytime.
