No One Can Be A Friend

I didn't turn quite all the way back but looked askance at her with my dark eyes, as I also melted her bloodshot eyes that were glittering at me as she grinned. An evil smile.

It gave me a sudden jolt of disbelief at first, afterwards I wasn't scared as my nervousness gave way to panic-stricken.

A thought struck me that instant as I recollected about the detective that saw my face.

"Doom is knocking at my door," I said slowly and hush as my face was twitching.

"Don't panic yet. With someone like you, they would prove absolutely nothing."

Then, my seethe spirit rose up at her.

"Really? He saw my face, you damn bloodsucker! I'm trying to regain a good reputation after this body messed up things and now here you are making it even ...How are mine supposed to cope with the reputation of a big-time murder that had committed so many ugly crimes!" I shouted, heaving with my fist clenched tightly, that my face turned reddened.

"Alexandra, just calm down_"

"Don't call me that! And don't tell me to calm down or else_"

"Or else what?!" She yelled back at me, enraged, "Is it actually my fault that you showed up exactly the time I was on my business and was so slow to run along when you saw me running. I know I made a damn shit right there and that's the fucking reason I'm trying to help you or do think I intentionally want to be your friend?"

It was rude of her to have said that, but Eve was right. It's true it's actually not her fault, but she just made a big confession right now.

"Then, I don't need your help anymore," I said dejectedly and walked away, rueful for having thought that I'd found a true friend. No one can be a friend. Including my fellow beings. All are my enemies.

School hours were over as students scattered around, either chatting or loitering the school premises, I even spotted some making their way into cafes and almost all were with a partner, except me.

It was the first time I was all alone, on my own as nobody cares who I am. I have no friends, no fans, no one to idolise me or keep me company.

I attract no attention from anyone, no one cares about me. Right now, in this new body I was a cipher and a laughing stock, that I myself, loathe this body so bad that I wish I had chosen someone else. Even if that person was hideous, and of good reputation, I would have to bear with that, but not when I was forsaken by everyone like trash in a pretty body.

Only now, I've realised that avenging the owner of this body would not change the most of all things I craved for. My day in the sun.

I can take down my foes, and yet my reputation would still remain the same or even worse.

'If only I had the power to erase past memories? Only then would I regain a good reputation.'

But I couldn't and had told Eve 's lies about having that kind of superpower. Only the master of my Realm has such power and I'm so envious of my father right now and angry why that kind of a power was never passed down to his daughter.

Just as I stroll along the isolated part of the inner street, a few miles away from school. The damn jerk approached me suddenly with his gangs. It's possible, they have purposely lurked for me in this direction, cause they knew I would walk through here, alone.

"Hi, baby doll," He waved his hands at me, laughing mischievously as they blocked my path.

I wasn't in the mood for their shit, cause I was down and dispirited at that moment. But the ugly monster was still awake inside me and I was only hoping they wouldn't dare to let it out.

I glare at them brazenly with my dark eyes.

"Look at her. It seems she's not afraid of me anymore," He said to the other guy behind him as they were teasing him not to hurt me so badly.

Then, he wanted to grab my hand, and in a swift motion I wrung his hand and threw his body against the fence, afterwards, falling flop on his face, shrieking in pain.

"HAAA… My wrist is broken…" He cried out aloud.

The other guys eyes grew impossibly wide in horror, witnessing the strong big boy get beaten by a weak gangling girl. After a short while of screaming, he rolled his body, facing his guy's direction.

"What are you guys still waiting for? Get her!" He ordered, still groaning in pain.

They approach me hesitantly as I pull out a long metal railing from the fence with my left hand. And they paused momentarily, this time their already large eyes grew into wide circles, trying to process what they had just witnessed. As one among them also attempted to pull out a railing and gave up, seeing how impossible it was.

"I said get her you assholes!" He hollered at them from behind, struggling to get up on his feet slowly, with his other hands caressing his broken wrist.

They plunge at me with ferocity as I take them down at once, without using my powers, cause I know if I do, they wouldn't escape death.

All of the boys laid wretched on the ground, groaning in pain as I stepped over them, making my way to their boss who fled for his life after witnessing how I took down his burly big guys.

I didn't pursue him, I only just disappeared and reappeared right in front of him as he recoiled, leapt in horror back, panting in fear, while moving backwards gradually as I paced forward to him.

He reached the end of the wrong pathway, a high built enclosed brick wall. Then, he realised there was nowhere else to run to and began to act unafraid and crazy at same time. His mouth split open wide in a booming laugh for no reason.

"I never imagined a weak slut like you would join witchcraft because of me. You might had been pained experiencing such torment several times, that's why, right? That's why you can't bear it," He kept laughing so hard that his eyes began to watered.

I just watched his pathetic state sorrowfully, perhaps his last moment, while I decided to give a listening ear, and he had given me that opportunity to hear those awful things he did to her, from him directly.

"Or was it the day I made you do porn with your sick crush? I bet you could never forget that day. Though that dickhead was just scrawny to make the video more enticing, maybe I should have done it myself to give it a finishing bout," He faced the wall, laughing, beating the wall with his hands.

Later on, he turned around and faced me. The smirk still on his face.

"I repeatedly watched that part where you bite his dick for a whole lot of time, and I laughed my ass off anytime I did," His laughter went explosive again.

I grimaced in fury, when I heard just this few things he said about the former owner of this body. My heart breaks. It hurts so bad for the poor girl that took her life because of these evil people. And it's unlike me to feel pity for humans, but being in human flesh and experiencing it myself I felt dark inside me.

And the moment he noticed the sore expression on my face, he enhanced from bad to worse laughter, accompanied by derisive words.

"Ha! That's true," He gestured with excitement, "The other time I made you eat garbage from the school trash can. That rotten fish and burger. I guess in your next life, you wouldn't forget the taste of the stinky fish. Or was it that day I made you dance nude in the club? No, the interesting one was the other time I made you…"

"Tick-tock, tick-tock," I chin in, tapping the back of my wrist as if I was wearing a watch,

His time was up and I was done listening to his drivel, and had to proceed with my final judgement.

This time, I used my power to torment him. I wanted to see that same great horror in his eyes just like the way the poor girl would have felt.

I wanted his to be more terrifying than hers as I jerk him up with one hand against the rough wall. He began to struggle with my strong grip and fought for breath.

"You damn trash! You've forgotten that I'm in charge now. You're just as powerless as her right now. And I'll give you a big surprise of your life," I tightened my grip on his neck as his eyes were already turning white, the red veins all over his body became visible and any moment from now, if I don't release his neck, he would see death.

"I'm not Alexander nor the weak girl you had done all those atrocities to. I'm an evil spirit whom had possessed this fucking weak body and was bound to make you pay. With your life," I quickly drop him down and crouch to his level.

He was rasping and breathing roughly through his wide mouth as he quickly went on his knees before me.

"Forgiveness is that easy right? Name your price, I'll give you anything on Earth. My dad is bastard fucking rich. He would give you anything you want. Huh… don't just hurt me. I'll do whatever you want. I don't want to die, I'm too young to die," He trembled, shaking, his teeth chattering as tears filled his eyes.

I chuckled homorless, "So, Alexandra was the one good enough to die, ugh?"

"No she's not. She didn't deserve to die nor did anyone. I'm so sorry, I promised in my next life I wouldn't bully anyone again. I swear," A sharp swear burst from his lips as his voice was shaking.

Feeling a little bit of satisfaction I smiled mischievously and rose up, holding hard onto the metal railing, staring down gloomy at him as his eyes followed my body outright.

Those eyes that revealed insincere apologies and were always prone to wicked nature.
