Queen of the Campus

The little girl looked very serious. "Although I'm not letting it go, you should apologize to me. My mom said that you should apologize for doing something wrong, especially boys, unless..."

"Unless what?" I asked irritably.

“Unless he’s not a man,” the little one said smugly. “So, to keep you a man, I’ve brought you here to apologize to me!”

“You have a good mom!” I looked at the little one; she was actually quite cute. “Sorry, okay?” Suddenly, I remembered something. “Oh right, I forgot to ask your name?”

“My name is Lillian, from Class 6, Grade 1.” The little girl wanted to launch into a long explanation.

“Alright, okay.” If this little girl were in the real world, she’d probably be ruined long ago, but this was at school, and she was only sixteen. But it seems like sixteen is… damn, what am I thinking? I haven’t even won over Sophie yet!

"Hmph, you're so rude! In our class, no one interrupts me when I'm talking. You're the most rude person I've ever met."

I felt I needed to clarify something. "Of course the boys wouldn't interrupt you. They'd be too busy trying to curry favor with you, since you're so pretty. Besides, I'm not planning on pursuing you."

"So you think I'm pretty too," the little girl said smugly. "I don't blame you for being rude anymore. How about we be friends?"

Damn, that's too fast! "Being friends means kissing," I coaxed her.

But the little one wasn't stupid. "I just want to be ordinary friends, okay?"

Actually, it wasn't anything special. "You seem really powerful in class. Do all the boys listen to you?" I was tempted to take advantage of her, but in the end, I decided against it. I couldn't bring myself to do that to a little girl. "Let's continue with what we were saying. I don't want to be friends with you because I don't want to cause trouble."

The little girl paused, a little confused. I didn't want to tell her. My relationship with Molly is already so strained; even being deskmates causes so much trouble. If I were to become friends with you, I'd be doomed.

Being friends with a pretty girl is great, but only if you're alive!

The little girl, seeing I wouldn't tell her, gave up the idea. It seemed like she'd only thought of it on a whim. "By the way, what's that in your hand? Let me see."

Lillian isn't Molly, right? So I gave her the drawing! I don't know if I let go too soon, or she reached out too late, but I couldn't catch it; it was blown away by the wind. I was furious! Just as I was about to pick it up, a horde of students leaving class trampled it underfoot, then a second, a third…

I was speechless with frustration! I turned around and glared at the little one, who just stood there looking pitiful. Damn it, can anyone tell me what's going on?! I didn't want to talk to Lillian anymore and strode towards the dormitory. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Lillian, with her small legs, following me. We were about the same height, and she quickly caught up.

"What else do you want?"

"Why are you so petty? I've already forgiven you, and you still won't forgive me." The little girl looked like she was about to glare at me, and she seemed about to cry. I remembered that day on the playground when I shoved a little girl onto the grass, and my heart softened.

"Who said I'm angry? It's just a drawing, I can handle it in a minute!"

"Really?" The little girl's eyes lit up.

Since I'd already boasted, "Of course."

"Then draw me one tomorrow too. I'm in Class 6, I told you, bring it to me!"

Reluctantly agreeing to the little one's request, I rushed back to the dorm. Everyone else was already ready. When Tyler saw me, his eyes sharpened, like a blade. "Are you crazy?" I thought to myself, but I wasn't going to cause trouble. I quickly washed my feet in the communal washroom and prepared to get into bed.

Just as I was about to climb into the top bunk, Tyler yanked me down! "Are you crazy?" I glared at him coldly. As the saying goes, "When you're sick in the head, you don't feel it anymore." I didn't care anymore; whatever!

Biaozi, angered that I dared to insult Tyler, got angry and tried to kick me. I grabbed a chair from the dorm, and he kicked it squarely. Since he was barefoot, I could imagine how much pain his foot must have felt! "What, ganging up on me?!"

"Biaozi, get back!" Tyler said, and Biaozi obediently backed down. Damn it, what's going on? Why is it that everyone else can bully me, but some people are born to be bosses?! God, can you please open your eyes?!

"How about I fight you?" Tyler took off his shirt, revealing his well-defined muscles. I can't believe he's only 16!

"Big brother, you have to give me a reason!" If murder wasn't a crime, I would really kill anyone who messed with me for no reason. I've had enough!

"Are you f*****g stupid? Don't you know Sophie is our sister-in-law? Pretend, pretend you're something else! Believe me, we'll beat you to a pulp!" Chen Biao spoke up again.

"Are you a eunuch? Mind your own business." I cursed back without hesitation. Anyway, things have come to this, I don't care if I offend one person or a whole group! "Damn it, you!"

"Are you blind? I'm not your mother, I'm your father!"

Pfft, Kan Ge, Er Niu, and the patient in the room all laughed, even Tyler's facial muscles twitched!

"Alright, Biao Zi, stop embarrassing yourself here. Besides, he's right, it's my business!" After comforting Biao Zi, Tyler turned back to me, "Dare to fight me? If I win, you won't bother Sophie anymore. If I lose, your business is my business, how about it?"
