STAR.
Who on hell did this girl think she is that she could even dare to use her hands on me? The freaking audacity!
And why were people more shocked at the fact that I slapped her right back? Did they really think a b***h would slap me and I would watch her leave?
Everyone went silent as soon as I imprinted my right hand on her painted face giving enough decorum for me to get my words clearly into the i***t's obviously thick skull.
"I'll only say this once so you had better listen carefully. I don't know who you are and to be very honest, I don't even care, but don't you ever dare to even raise your hands up on me not to even talk of you touching me! The next time you try this bullshit you just did is the time you'll regret ever crossing my path!" I yelled with so much Fury.
The slim brunette girl was about to retaliate and I was fully ready to start up a fight with her. She raised her hand up in the air wanting to strike another blow and I went two steps backwards in order for me to be able to keep a steady stance and kick her ass when she dares it.
But then a stupid loud ring interrupted the fight I had already imagined in my head as I realized we all needed to go to our various classes and it seemed like the stupid assembly that got us all into one space in the first place wasn't going to hold.
"Luna, I think it's time for us to go..." A girl that looked korean whispered in her ears.
"Luna, you don't want us to be late for Mr. William's class, do you?" Another of the girls said and held Luna's bag.
At this point, it seemed like they were just trying to get her away from the drama that was sure to escalate and get us all into trouble.
She seemed to start to listen to them as she stepped forward towards me, "I'm not done with you yet, newbie and FYI, this is just that beginning of war between the both of us. So if I were you, I'd better watch my back, because nobody doesthis is the Luna and goes Scott free!" She snapped at me.
"You should be the one to watch your back Luna, because you do not know who you are messing with, I'm nothing like the ones you can walk all over. I'll put you in your place, trust me!" I said that to the utmost surprise of everyone as I laughed spontaneously at her.
"Luna, I think it's best to leave this lunatic alone. For now." A blondie said with a very worried expression.
By this time, there was a full crowd gathered around us watching the whole scene.
Jeez!
Penny got up and pushed through the crowd to leave. I swiftly follow her behind and she ran to a bathroom.
"Penny! Are you okay?" I tried talking to her but she ignored me.
"Penny I know you don't like what just happened, but I can assure you it's never going to happen again." I tried my best to soothe her, but she wasn't even responding.
"Penny... at least say something to me!" I demanded but she didn't budge, she washed her face and glared at her reflection in the mirror.
"Is it always like this? Do they usually treat you like that? You are not trash and you have your rights just like every other person. You didn't deserve that at all!" I said but still got no response.
"Listen Penny, I can't just understand why you could just let those girls bully you and get away with it that way. Why?" I questioned worriedly and she finally turned her face to my direction.
"I'm used to all of it Star, it's not a big deal!" She yelled at me and sniffled. Her face dropped and she started to sob.
What the heck!
To say I was shocked was a total understatement, how can someone say they are used to being bullied?
"Penny, bullying is a very big deal and you should not take such from those girls. No one should be a subject of ridicule." I said and she chuckled.
"You definitely don't understand Star!" She exclaimed a bit tired of talking to me
"Then make me understand Penny! Make me understand please, I am all ears. I'd really really like to understand. " I begged her in the softest voice ever.
"I don't want to talk about it." She rasped and tried to turn away.
"Come on girl, you need to say something, please." I pressed further and held her shoulders.
"No, Star... I really don't want to talk about it." She responded as she avoided eye contact with me and swallowed real hard.
"Do not lie to me Penny..." I persisted.
"Star, I really don't want to say anything." She mumbled.
"Penny? Really? How do I help when I don't understand what's even happening? You told me you were popular not bullied?" I urged and she looked up at me.
"Fine!! I totally accept the bullying because I know I can't do anything about it, okay?" She sounded frustrated.
"You can always stand up for yourself. There is always something to do something about it." I tried lift up her spirits but to no avail.
"It is very easy for you to say such a thing, Star. It's easier said than done." She muttered and looked at me. Her eyes were teary, red and already swollen.
I recoiled at that statement and stared blankly at her "What exactly do you mean by that?" I asked.
"Take a look at yourself in the mirror, you look more like those popular beautiful girls than ugly fat me. You were able to stand up for yourself because you are more like them, you're gorgeous, even more gorgeous than they are, you have the facilities to obviously stand up for yourself, it's easy for you." She said without even blinking then continued.
"You really don't understand what it is like to just be ordinary, ugly and fat. A poor one at that. You have always lived a glamorous life, so I don't expect you to feel what I'm feeling. You can never understand."
I was really hurt and I felt so bad, I couldn't believe Penny out of everyone in the world would say all of that to me.
"You know the whole truth about my life and you still think I have an easy life?" I asked, pain inevitable in my voice.
I quickly grabbed my bag and turned to leave the bathroom. I walked straight through the hallway and finally found my class. I entered and the whole class were staring daggers at me. The teacher in turn wasn't smiling at me, he was a little bit slim and tall with coffee brown eyes and short blonde hair.
He was already teaching before I obviously interrupted.
"Young lady, you are late!" He scolded with scornful eyes
"I deeply apologize Sir, I got lost trying to find my class." I lied boldly
He accessed me from head to toe and his face became relaxed. Believing my lies, he continued. "Alright then, in that case you should introduce yourself to the whole class." He said without any trace of humor.
Ohhhh Noooo!!
