Chapter 11

They took Itzy to the garden since there were fewer people passing by and only a handful would witness their actions. They chose this location because they weren't concerned about many people seeing them, as most students in their school were afraid of them. However, they were worried about being caught bullying someone by the men they looked up to. This raises the question: why do they continue to bully others if they are afraid of being caught?

"I'm not doing anything wrong, okay? Why don't you let me explain first?" Itzy pleaded, struggling to break free from the tight grips of Ileen and Jaxie.

Loxley, who was leading the group, halted their movement and turned to face Itzy with a quizzical expression. "Let you explain? Do you think we're foolish enough to believe your lies?" she asked, her eyebrows raised in suspicion. "You were planning to come up with some excuse to save yourself because you're scared of us," she added, pushing Itzy's chest with a pointed finger and gritting her teeth.

Itzy's eyes were filled with tears, and although she did not want to show her vulnerability to the three people in front of her, she could not help feeling afraid of them. Their intimidating behavior had a significant impact on her, and she struggled to hold back her tears. She knew that if she cried, it would only give them satisfaction and reinforce their power over her.

It's natural to wonder why she would be afraid if she could fight them. The answer is simple: with just a flick of Loxley's finger, she can mobilize everyone to help her. You might be wondering why Loxley has such a big impact on the students. Well, she's just the daughter of a governor, and her influence extends far and wide.

On the other hand, Itzy is the daughter of a famous business tycoon, but no one knows about it except herself and her four bodyguards. Despite being capable of defending herself, the sheer power that Loxley holds over the student body makes her apprehensive. 

She could easily take them on in a one-on-one fight, but she knows that they are not acting alone. She fears that Loxley could use her influence to turn the whole school against her, leaving her with no allies.

Jaxie chuckled, glancing at Itzy. "Look at her damn face. She's frowning as if she's about to cry," she said, laughing harder.

Loxley interrupted, "What do you mean? We haven't even done anything yet, and you're already on the verge of tears?"

"You're such a damn crybaby," Ileen commented with a disgusted tone. 

"I'm not a crybaby," Itzy defended herself, but those three girls just ignored her words and laughed at her.

"Oh, really?" Loxley said, crossing her arms over her chest. She then looked at Ileen and commanded, "Let's put that to the test. Ileen, open that bottle of water and pour it on her. Let's see how she reacts."

Ileen proceeded to open the lid and pour the cold water on Itzy's head, drenching her uniform in the process. Itzy was now completely wet, but the situation worsened when she realized she didn't have a spare uniform in her locker.

"Oh, is she going to cry now?" Jaxie attempted to provoke Itzy by taunting her, hoping to make her cry, but Itzy refused to give her satisfaction. 

Instead, she stared up at Loxley and gave her a fierce glare, causing Loxley to raise her eyebrows in surprise. "What's the matter? Are you going to fight back now?" Loxley asked.

"It looks like she's trying to rebel," Ileen chimed in. "What should we do to make her remember her place?" She turned to Loxley for approval.

Loxley paused for a moment and thought of something. "Let's make her do something embarrassing," she said with a smirk.

They all looked at Itzy, who was still standing there, wet and uncomfortable.

"I know!" Jaxie exclaimed. "Let's make her dance in the middle of the cafeteria."

Itzy's eyes widened in horror. She couldn't imagine anything more humiliating than dancing in front of the whole school.

"Come on, Itzy, dance for us," Loxley taunted.

A few moments had passed, and Itzy remained still. She had no intention of doing what the three of them were asking because it would be a great shame for her. However, when Ileen pushed her towards the middle of the group, she had no choice but to dance.

The three of them burst into laughter at Itzy's expense. She looked foolish dancing without any music playing. Other people in the garden turned towards them due to the strength of the trio's laughter. When they saw what Itzy was doing, they too burst into laughter, causing her to feel even more humiliated.

Itzy had been dancing for a few minutes when Jaxie interrupted her. "Wait, didn't I tell you to dance in the cafeteria? Why are you dancing here? You're so stupid," Jaxie scolded before slapping Itzy on the head.

Ileen sighed and pulled Jaxie away, putting her arm around her shoulder. "Don't be too hard on her," she urged. "If you keep hurting her, she won't want to follow us anymore. You should do it like this," she said, and began to slap Itzy's cheeks a few times.

The audience gasped in shock at the scene they had just witnessed, while Itzy bowed her head, her cheeks stinging from the blow.

"Hey, don't you intend to do as we say? Didn't you hear them? Dance in the cafeteria," asked Loxley, addressing Itzy.

Before Itzy could even answer, Ileen and Jaxie grabbed her arms and dragged her towards the cafeteria. Itzy struggled to break free, but was unable to do so. Loxley was following behind, chuckling to herself. Even if Itzy managed to slip away from Ileen and Jaxie's grasp, she knew she wouldn't be able to escape Loxley's watchful eye.

As they walked through the school, students gawked at them, already guessing what was going to happen when they spotted Itzy among the group.

Nervousness began to build up in Itzy's chest. She had planned to visit the cafeteria after finishing her meal, but not in this situation. She wanted to avoid giving the impression to her four bodyguards that she was being bullied. However, avoiding this scenario seemed impossible since they were about to witness it firsthand today.

Upon entering the cafeteria, they pushed Itzy, causing her to fall and attract the attention of other students. Some expressed pity, while others were excited to witness the drama.

Ileen ordered Itzy to stand up, which she did promptly. However, Ileen praised her as if she were a dog, causing the surrounding students to erupt in laughter.

Then Loxley ordered Itzy to dance, crossing her arms and standing firmly. Itzy took a deep breath, considering defying their orders. She clenched her fist, closed her eyes tightly, and was about to speak when someone spoke behind her with a familiar voice.

"What's happening here?"
