Chapter 2: The Most Perfect Student

The Most Perfect Student

t/w: bullying

Being a student is undeniably tiring, it is not as easy as it is, but Thylane finds it boring when there is no thrill at school, no pressure, even she was elected as the student council president, she still longed for another thrill. It is not tiring at all.

As a student council she enters the school early in the morning, she is the first honor when it comes to attendance, she monitors the other students, she looks after them. She is making sure that bullying is not present in their school.

Everyone is already busy with their own business at school, some students were busy using their make-up kits, some are doing music jamming, some are happily enjoying the moment with their friends, some students were busy with their books, other students were busy decorating the stage, others were busy doing their practice for the upcoming events. While the so-called most perfect students are silently walking alone in the hallway. Wearing her above the knee skirt, finely ironed clothes, with her above the knee socks plus her neatly braided hair, and of course her thick glasses. She has two bags, her backpack which contains her books and notebooks, a side bag which contains all the papers for the student council, a laptop in her hand, and a phone in her pocket. She also wears the latest baby G g-shock watch. No one dared to get near her, because of her intimidating aura. She never got a friend but she is the most trusted student on the whole campus.

While she’s silently walking some students are gossiping about her, but she can’t hear it because she wears her earphones. She often did it to avoid being in contact with toxic students. She can’t stand in a room filled with students who love gossiping about other’s life. She knows that her time is more worthwhile with other things rather than talking about other people in a circle.

“Thylane.” Teacher Hanz called her and immediately got her attention.

“Good Morning, Mr. Hanz.” She politely greeted her teacher.

“Thylane, the publishing body wants to talk to you. Be there in 5 minutes.” The teacher told her and leave without saying goodbye.

She just nodded and wondered why they needed her but still as the Thylane who is always there for everyone, not mentioning her efforts because she does not want it to be congratulated by her efforts by anyone. She wanted certificates and honors.

Thylane rushed to her room, to place her things. After that, she runs to the publishing office to see, what is happening. She then concludes that there is something wrong with their files. But still, she asks the students there.

“What’s the matter.” She asked the students in the office who are busy facing the computer, they look so stressed out and do not what to do anymore.

“We can’t find the final document.” The guy said in a worried tone, she knew in her mind that is why she immediately took a look at the computer and she found out that the file has been bugged.

It was not a that big problem for her, but for those who have no knowledge about then maybe they will get stressed by looking at the computer screen for a long time.

“I think the file has been bugged. Can you lend me the computer?” she asked and the guy move out from the computer to let Thylane work for it. She then gestured them thanks.

Thylane immediately inspect the file and looked for the missing code. She has little knowledge about coding because she used to do it as part of her job before. Once she found out the missing code, she typed aggressively until she finished the whole code. She then analyzed it before entering. She’s not so sure about her code but she still tried, she waits for the computer to respond and once it was done, she smiled. It was a successful run. I am still worthy she said in her mind.

“I think the file has been retrieved try to print it out again.” She said and lend the chair to the guy.

“Wow, you’re great!” the guy greeted her and she just smiled shyly.

It was an easy compliment but she hate to be complemented through that she wanted to gain higher grades, a higher acknowledgment in the school. She just wanted to leave the place at the moment.

“I have classes, can I go now?” she asked when she noticed that she has nothing to do anymore. She then got bored staring at them printing the papers.

“Okay, you can go now. Thank you.” They said and she happily leave.

Thylane leaves the publishing office and immediately came back to their room. Once she entered, she noticed that her things had been moved. She silently went to the damaged chair to get her things.

“Where do you think, you’re going to put that trash?” asked by her bitchy type classmate.

“It’s my things, not a trash.” She said, emotionless and trying to put it back in her chair but the girls stopped her.

“I saw you!” the girl with full make-up, pointed her forehead.

“What about it?” she asked politely.

“I saw you! you’re flirting with my boyfriend!” the girl said in an angry tone.

“Yeah. She’s like smiling in front of him!”

“You think he will like you? You’re a loser.”

“I don’t know what are you talking about, but to tell you I am not a loser, being the highest rank will describe it. So, get out. I’ll read.” She said in an emotionless tone then she pulled her chair.

“Ouch!” said by the girl who was suddenly hit by her chair.

“You’re rude!” the three girls shouted at her face but she just ignored them and opened her book.

In the afternoon, the publishing body treat her for an afternoon break for she saved the publishing body. She doesn’t have any idea that her action will take her where she is right at the moment. In her peripheral vision she saw the three girls who is obviously waiting for her outside the café, she already knows what will happen next. So, she let the students who treat her leave before she leaves the café. When she was already alone, she went out to the cafeteria and she was right because one step out from the cafeteria’s door the bitchy girl pulled her.

“See how pitiful you are!”

“Yeah, she even asked for a treat!”

“Yuck, what a poor girl, why you don’t have cash?’

“Well, I never saw you, eating in this café, probably you can’t afford the meals here. I wonder how did you enter in our school when you are not as rich as we are.”

“Maybe she seduced one of the owners here.”

“And you nerd girl, I don’t want you going near my boyfriend.”

“I am his girl!” the girl stated that as if claiming that guy was her but Thylane doesn’t care at all.

“Again, I don’t know what you are talking about. I don’t even know who your boyfriend is.”

“Hey, don’t act like a fool, you even held the arm of my boyfriend a while ago.”

“What’s with the noise!” out of nowhere someone speaks.

“Who are you?” Thylane asked when she saw the fears in the three girls’ eyes. She didn’t get a response but she saw that the eyes of the girls in front of her widened. So, she immediately turned her head back. She saw her most hated student of all time.

“Z-z-Zion Dominguez…” The girls were stuttering.

“Don’t do this kind of mess again you three idiots!” he pointed at the three girls and the girls immediately run away.

“You scared them.” Thylane said in an emotionless tone.

“Really? They deserved it.”

“You’re their senior you must become the role model.”

“Role model? They should fear us.”

“They should not.”

“I just saved you, you didn’t even thank me.”

“I don’t need your help. I can manage.”

“Fine!”

“You should say sorry.”

“I didn’t cause harm to them.”

“But you scared them.”

“What on earth are you?”

“A girl. The most perfect student of all time.”

“You’re only good in your acads, you don’t reach the school beauty standards.” The guy told Thylane and left her Thylane just shrugged her shoulders and went home. Still thinking about what happened earlier.

***

“You are only good-looking but you are an i***t!” they told her.

She cried when she heard those words, in her mind…

It is not my fault for being born with a beautiful body and face, it is not my fault to be born this way!

Slap, kick, punch, repeat. The woman can’t feel enough pain. Painful, hurtful.

“Stop!”

“Please!”

She is begging so hard but no one listens to her. They continue to physically hurt her.

“It feels so illegal to do, but fun as well.” They said and continued to punish her, the woman can not understand why they are doing this to her she is not a bully, she is not bad at school, she is considered to be the kindest, she listens to their problems, she was always there when they needed someone. She was one of a kind to be exact but why is she receiving such hate?

“It is kind of relief seeing you got hurt so bad.” They said and slapped her again, she can’t decide whether to cry or to stay silent, every sob that sound may cause her to be hurt, hurt inside and outside. She had been suffering since then and she do not know what to do anymore.

She is crying while receiving all the hate from them. She can’t do anything, she is weak and can’t defend herself. She doesn’t want to worsen the bullying incident so she prefers to receive all the hurts.

“I think I’m tired of seeing this woman cry.” The other bully speaks up and then gave her a last slap that made her push onto the wall. It hurts her head so hard. But she still manages to stand up and take her seat again.

“Why not let see her pleasure herself.”

“No.” she begged so hard, she even cried and promise them something just like she will give them money and they agreed.

But that was the day before. After a few days of being free from the bullies, she got then pulled by them again. They wanted her to do the thing. To pleasure herself and they will film it.

“Why you do not want to do it?”

“Do you want us to tell your mom and dad, that we actually did the thing?”

“That is not true!”

“Well, we can make it true!”

“Please no!” she begged so hard.

“Just our favor, love. It is not that hard.”

She begged so much to them but they blackmailed her. She then begged them so much not to video and film her but they still do that, they gave her the toy to play on herself, she is hurting but it is fun for them. It is their happiness to hurt other people.

After doing all the nasty things and disgusting acts, they left her all alone. She cried before fixing her hair, herself, her outfit. She saw some signs of the slap on her face so she put makeup on it. Makeups make the bruises unseen, it keeps her beautiful. It is her way to hide all the scars made by the people who hate her without doing anything bad for them.

A week after that incident she was too traumatized but she is trying her best to stand still. The bruise is now healed, she can wear her skirts now. She can smile again, after the painful week last week. She went to the kitchen and she saw her parents there eating and waiting for her, for the breakfast.

She went there to eat with them.

“It has been a week love, how was school?” Her mom asks her while they were eating she do not know how to answer her mom’s question but she still answered.

“It’s fine mom,” she said of course it is a lie.

“Great and look at you. Seeing you dress like that makes me think that you are the most perfect student.”

Her mom’s words stunned her.

“The most perfect student indeed,” her dad told her too, now she is totally tongue-tied.

The girl keeps on getting bullied, she always wanted to escape school. To get out of everything, to hate them all to stay away from the bullies. But she stayed at school for her dreams.

School was the place she always wanted to be, a school who will bridge her to her dreams, but what she has been going through is something that she hate the most. She just wanted to stay at their home, but seeing her tired parents, stressed at work, seeing them doing everything just for her to enter school makes her wonder who she is to stop, who she is to give up, like it feels like a sin to give up and be defeated so she continued.

She enters the school, feeling pretty because her parents will treat her as a loving daughter and their only princess. But as soon as she arrived at school the princess will be in her nightmare.

“Ms. Santos, seems to be lovely all the time,” the bully sensually touches her cheeks that made her tremble, she knows that they are thinking of nasty things again.

“Please, stop,” she is begging while crying, she roamed her eyes to see who they are and they are all grown up seniors in their school.

“Fresh and sweet cherries,” the other bully complimented her and she cried she knows that they are thinking sensually and that is not even a compliment, she is feeling being used and hated.

“Dude, it’s about time for the class,” the guy who’s not looking at the three bullies said that.

“Tss, shut up, come and let’s have fun yet,” the other bully stated and he just stayed silent.

The bullies keep on touching and giving her sensual looks and touches, she is crying the three bullies were laughing and enjoying what they are doing they are even filming it.

“Stop, the guard is coming this way,” the guy told them and they eventually stopped. She wanted to cry but they hide her behind the old chairs, the guard just passed by and went away. The bully slapped her.

“f**k you, did you just call the guard to follow you?” the bully said that angrily.

She just cried, she wanted to thank the guard for coming over, even when she doesn’t even call him to be here.

“Dude, our classmates chatted we’re having a quiz, the silent guy told them and they run away. She cried for a moment feeling so disgusted on herself. She hates herself for a moment that she wanted to end everything but still didn’t want to do so. She wanted to stay away from the school but her dreams and aspirations is calling her.

Days and nights have past by and she is finally not getting bullied. She doesn’t know where the bullies went for but she is thankful, she has now a friend but he is a guy.

“Thraia, don’t be sad,” the guy gave him ice cream when she is sad as she received her grades it was almost failed. But she is still happy.

“I am afraid,” she said and the guy tap her head.

“We will study it, want to come in the library?” he asked her and she nodded aggressively she wanted to study and learn, even she knows that she is not as brilliant as other students, she is not even fast learner.

“Okay let’s study tomorrow, we have exam by next week so we must study extra!” he said and she is excited for the next day.

They went to the library and the guy patiently teaches her the lessons, the math lessons, and everything. He is explaining it comprehensively. She is smiling while learning, he finds him cute while he is giving her the easiest formula to use in order to get the right answer she always wanted to learn math but she doesn’t know how and what are the purpose of learning it. She then went to daydreaming of dating him, having a little crush isn’t bad especially for a guy who makes her feel safe and sound.

“Did you get it?” the guy asks her that made her awake from daydreaming.

“Oh no, I mean yeah,” she said as she stutters and the guy just laughed at her.

“You’re so cute, anyways as I was saying…” he said again and started writing the formula on the sheet of paper as he give her the instructions. She is now listening intently that she is loving the scenario they have.

“Lanlan, I knew some math tricks,” the kid told her and she just look at him.

“My mother told me the easiest way to do math,” the kid told her and he presented the tricks, she already knows that but she still act as if she got impressed by it.

“That was cool!” she commented and the kid smile.

“My mom is a brilliant lawyer!” he boasts “She teach me that,” he added, the girl then nodded at him.

They went to talking about their fanstasy dramas and everything.

“You know what my mom told me, that all women are incredible,” he said that made the little girl think, she doesn’t have any idea about what he is saying.g since they do not have good communication with her mom.

“She told me that every woman are perfect student of life,” he said that made the little girl eyebrows furrowed.

“Why and how so?” she asked and the kid just shrugged his shoulders. She then concluded that her mom is kind of hiding something from her.

“Bye Lanlan,” the kid waved his hand and she just nod at him.

Still wondering on what the kid just told her.
