Bullocks

Bullocks!

I was unable to get that soup out of my shirt and spent the remaining classes getting sneered at by the other students. The news of what happened at the canteen spread quickly. As expected, nobody cared that I was the victim. They would rather look good for Olivia's approval. Therefore, I couldn't wait to get out of the last class.

When school was finally over, Tessa warned me to wait for a while before leaving as Olivia and her girls might linger around to trap me. That's why I waited till now. The school is almost empty except for janitors and the security guards.

Yet, here I am, walking right into my least favorite humans. Jeremy and Olivia are making out at the car park as if they have no care for decency.

Pausing and contemplating my next action, I don't know if I should go back or just walk by them. Just before I make a decision, Jeremy sees me and his next words decide for me.

“What are you staring at? Want to join?”

Slightly shivering from cringing, I brace myself. I decide to continue walking towards them with a stern face. I will just ignore them. Treat them like air…

Olivia withdraws from their hug and turns to me. She looks cocky and has a smug smile on her face.

What's so great about being a slut? I will never get why girls think it's okay to throw themselves at boys or even fight over them. My Dad told me that most boys like Jeremy will peak at high school and girls like Olivia will either learn to use their body to pave their way, or end up on the street.

…Like Mum.

Not that he ever mentioned Mum in his words, but that's who I always think of each time he started trying to teach about how to live my life once he's gone.

Therefore, I really can't get impressed by these people. What I don't understand is why they won't leave me alone. It's not like I care about their lives.

“What? What's that look? — Pah!” Her stern voice reaches my ears from afar, but it is the slap that brings me back to my senses.

“What in hell?” I gasp in utter shock. “You-you slapped me?” I stupidly ask.

“Yes. I slapped you and I will slap you again if you don't explain that look you just gave me.”

“What look?”

I am so confused right now. What look did I give her that warrants a slap so vicious? My ears are buzzing for heaven's sake!

My previous thoughts slowly emerge in my mind. I was contemptuously judging her as a slut just now. My thoughts must have shown on my face…

She takes a step back and squints her cold eyes at me.

“You sure have guts giving me that look. I can pick your eye out, you know? You are nothing but the daughter of a w***e. In this school, I am Queen and whoever crosses me is looking to die.”

I want to retort but I can't. Shame is holding my tongue. It grips my heart and makes me feel like disappearing. My Mum is a golddigger after all. What's the difference between a golddigger and a w***e? I don't think there is any. How many men did she follow before Richard became her big break? How many will she follow once he sees the truth and throws her out? I am scared to think of it, and I have no courage to refute something I believe.

“Olivia, it's alright. Don't hurt yourself like this.” Jeremy walks over, picks up her hand and starts rubbing her palm gently. That's when I notice that the hand she slapped me with is hurtfully reddish.

Serves her right.

As for Jeremy, I have actually forgotten that he was here with us. That slap literally emptied my brain.

“What if I told you that she tried to get my attention by throwing herself in front of my bike a few hours before arriving at my place yesterday?”

“What?”

“Lies!” I snap in shock.

“Her mother wants her to ensnare me just like she did to my Dad. What makes them think I am that stupid is beyond me.” He continue to say, disgust dripping from each blasphemous word coming from his mouth.

“Oh my God!” Olivia gasps.

“He is lying. He was speeding and nearly ran me over. It has nothing to do with my Mum.” I yell in frustration. Hot tears start cascading down my cheeks. I try to hold them back but I can't. Filled with humiliation and rage, I stomp and wave my finger in his face. “What have I ever done to you? Why are you being such a jerk to me? If you are so manly, why don't you face your father? He is the one who brought my mum and I into your home. A coward like you can't fight your father, so you are picking on me?”

“Shut up!” Olivia lifts her hand, ready to slap me again, making me recoil. Luckily, Jeremy catches it on time.

“It's okay. Don't hurt yourself.” He dotingly says to her, then turns to me. “Let this be a lesson to you.” he starts saying. “I will never fall into your whorish trap like my Dad. Don't ever try to play any stupid games with me. Else, I will deal with you. I don't need to even do it by myself.”

“If you know what's good for you, stay away from my Jeremy. If you look at him as much, I will pluck out your eyes. As for that look you gave me just now, just wait and see.” Olivia snares. “Let's go.” She grabs Jeremy's hand and drags him away.

Dazed, angry, confused. I stand still, watching them leave.

What just happened? I have been suffering grievances all my life, but this is the worst. Nothing as bad as this has ever happened to me before. How can they treat me like this?

As I walk back to Richard's house, I can't help but start considering my options. The fact is, I have none. None of Dad’s relatives wanted me. They didn't even show up for Dad, why should they bother with me? I only agreed to join Mum to avoid CPS. She also promised me a good school to finish high school as long as I am obedient.

Now, I am regretting it. Maybe CPS isn't that bad. Maybe I can still go back.
