Chapter 5

Sheila's POV

Days and weeks had flown in a blink of eyes but he didn't stop bullying me. Karl and his friends have their own ways of trick to make me fun and they found this as entertainment. I think making me cry every day boosts their stamina.

His friends would simply enter my classroom during my class and drag me out, it's becoming their routine. Even if one of them in his gangs was in a sour mood, they would simply blame me and enjoy seeing me suffer by making my day worst as hell.

He would like to give me a new task that I never fond of. He ordered me to bring him breakfast every day and the next day when I got him my hostel food, he spat it on the ground before throwing me a devilish look like I purposely got him spoiled food. But the next day his pretty brain understood that this is how the hostel food tastes and asked me to stop bringing him a poison.

One day he made me polish his shoes and even made me clean the gent's toilet just because I first declined to do what he had demanded.

Sometimes his behaviour made me want to drop college, but it won't happen.

And to say one month has been passed since I was their target to bully. Today he ordered me to wear a white dress, but I don't know why he wants me to wear a white dress.

As thinking about his miserable attitudes, I entered the campus and felt a heavy force of the water on my body, for that, I soaked wet completely. My white shirt turned black and I realized they threw paint on me.

Everyone was laughing like a maniac while clapping their hands and throwing their head back and forth as they find the whole situation fun.

Now I understood why he wanted me to wear this dress. Couldn't able to bore the harassment I screamed loudly. Everyone went silent for a second then once again burst into laughter.

"From where did you get the guts to yell at me?" He asked out of nowhere.

I gulped down when I saw he was approaching me like I was his prey but I am not going to back away. I gathered all my courage to face him even though I'm shaking internally.

"Listen!" I pointed my forefinger at him. "I am not your doll and one more thing I wanted to make clear that I am not going to obey your rules. You guys made lots of fun already. I can't take it anymore. I had enough of you. If you want you can sue me from this college. But I never give any shit to anyone." I screamed at his face.

"What did you say?" He grabbed my hand roughly before yanking me towards him. "If I want to sue you from the college I would have done this already. I wouldn't have waited for your opinion. But no, it will never happen. You need to know your place. No one dared to speak in front of me like this. Now be ready for your punishment." All this time I stared at him with a cold expression.

"Everyone! Go and gather in the cafeteria, we will see some fun." He shouted, his eyes held a lot of anger. In his dictionary the place cafeteria is for fun, not to provide food. He glanced me back and gave me a one-pointed look before walking away God knows where, with that, everyone followed after him.

Instead of going to the cafeteria, I went to my hostel to change my dress. One hour later, I returned back to college and didn't think It would be a bad idea until I saw everyone in the college forming a circle around me ready to hunt me down as I'm their prey.

First, I don't get the point why they were here and it made me feel uncomfortable. When I passed them, they all stared at me with a stunned utterance.

Something wrongs!

And when I reached the corridor I saw him standing there with all his glory. He was staring right into my eyes; his cold expression revealed how angry he was.

But why all the students are standing here? Then the principal came towards me and asked me to obey him to avoid the confrontation, otherwise, everyone will get into trouble.

"What?" I asked in disbelief.

"No way in the world I am going to obey him and for your information, I am going to leave from this college. Hereafter, I'm not going to continue here. There are so many colleges outside. So give me all my documents back and I am ready to leave." I blurted out.

Yeah, I came with this decision an hour ago. He crossed his limit. I can't stand here watching everything. I have some self-respect too.

"What do you say?" Once again his hard voice brought me back into reality. But this time his voice has some amusement like I said some kind of jokes.

"Bring all her stuff here." He ordered to the principal.

Without hesitation, the principal went to his office and in no time brought all my documents but Instead of giving it to me, he handover the documents to him.

Then my world started to collapse when I saw him igniting a fire on the document and it started to burn. I can't believe this! All my documents are burning in front of me.

No! It's won't be happening.

I ran towards the burning documents but it's all went numb. My hand got hurt slightly while I was trying to smother the fire but my stuff was already gone.

"Where else you go without your certificate? I don't think you could continue your studies without these." He pointed a finger towards my already burnt document.

"But I have mercy on you. I'm giving you two options. Study here or be a loser." With that he left and everyone went to their own ways leaving me alone standing there for what seemed to be an hour. My heart broke into a million pieces of glasses when I saw my burnt documents.

Why did he do it to me?

I looked at the mirror where I could see a reflection of a zombie who was looking back at my original state wearing nothing but a worried expression on her face and a black circle under her eyes were evidence that she has lots of sleepless night by thinking about her future.

Yeah! It's me.

Today, I have taken my decision and I'm ready to go to hell again.

It's been a week since I have dropped my college but today I planned to go. Yes! He left me no option, he made me feel terrible.

Hereafter, I am going to bear all his bully, then only I can survive. All my courage tore into a piece of broken glasses. I let out a long sigh before grabbing my books and put them into my bag and started to walk towards the hell.

Before I entered the campus, there was a dead silence occupied the area but when they saw me they were started to murmur and muttered gossips. They might have thought that I have dropped my college. But their thoughts were wrong because I made myself clear that I will continue my studies with all my benefits.

Whatever happens, I'm not going to oppose him and will study here until I get my degree. Just 4 years, then I will be free. I hope everything will be fine after that.

As I made myself into the class, and to my least expectation, no one uttered any words. I don't know what happened in the past few days.

After the bell rang, the teacher came to the classroom and began to take a class. It seemed like they were getting used to these kinds of a bully. But I learnt one lesson that no one has any sympathy for anyone. All of them are selfish crow and an arrogant donkey.

Anyway, I don't expect anything from anyone, not anymore.

I am currently sitting in my classroom because it's our free period. You can utilize this hour by yourself. So I am taking rest all alone by myself. I don't want to see him or get into any trouble.

As I was relaxing in my classroom, enjoying my own company, I saw someone entering the class through my peripheral vision. When he saw me he smirked and took a seat beside me but didn't utter any words.

I felt uncomfortable under his presence, so I asked him as much as politely. "How can I help you."

He chuckled lightly before saying. "I wanted to see you." His voice was smooth and tender.

"And why?" Confusion overwhelmed my entire body.

"I saw your classmates were wandering outside of the campus except you, so I thought I can find you here and my assumption was right." He started ignoring my question.

"What do you want from me?" I asked in a panic tone.

"Nothing, I just wanted to know whether you are okay. That's all." He shrugged his shoulders.

"Why are you nice to me? I can't help but ask."

"Everyone may make fun of you but that doesn't mean I too follow their ways. Well, I kinda like you. You are smart and at the same time stupid too." He smiled.

How bitter.

I stared at him in disbelief but didn't utter any words. He seemed to be a nice guy but can I trust him? No, I don't believe anyone.

He coughed slightly to gain my attention back. "What?" I asked slowly.

"Well... my name is Tammy Parker and I am Karl's cousin."

My eyes widen in surprise and some fear took over me. "You ar... are what?" I implored.

He smirked and confessed, "I am his cousin."

"Are you here to hurt me?" I asked nervously.

"No, It's not my intention," he said instantly.

"Then why are you here?"

"Listen, girl. I just wanted to know whether you are doing okay. Because for the last week you haven't shown up. I thought you may have got sick or... Whatever." He whispered the last part slowly.

I just stared at him unknowingly what to say. "Okay! I need to go. If you need any help just ask me and one more thing don't mess with him again. I can't stop him but I can save you from him." He patted my heads before turn his back to walk out of my classroom.

I just stared at his back until he was out of my sight. Shall I trust him? Never mind!

Finally, my class is over and I'm so grateful that I haven't met him today. Of these past three months, today I was blessed to get some peaceful life but I don't know how long it's going to stay with me.

There is always a storm behind the silence.

I let out a long sigh and walked further into my room.

After having dinner I went to the park to get some fresh air. Actually, it becomes one of my habits to wander around the park at night.

I relaxed and took a seat on the bench. I could see only very rare couples are sitting in the park and they seem so happy by enjoying each other company.

A small smile crept on my face when I started to think of unconditional love. I hope one day I will find my love and my life will become better, better than I could ever imagine.
