A Week Later...

11:45 A.M

Marella's POV

Standing in the queue, ordering for lunch, Everyone in the queue gave way. From behind, I felt someone watching me. I turned to look, it was Beck. He stared at me with such anger in his blue eyes as they ex-rayed me with so much disgust, and I couldn't help but to wonder...

'Is he really staring at me? Why is he even here when he have the girls? Have I done anything wrong?' Confusion plastered my face as I quickly ordered.

'Cookies and chocolate yogurt, please?'

'Pssst! Psssst!!' Someone called. It was a tall, slender girl with a long brunette hair and Hazel eyes.

'I looked at her, silently asking 'what?' Still looking confused. She waved, signaling me to come but I was about to take my tray.

Another girl walked up to me, as I was standing between her and Beck. My poor heart started throbbing within my tiny chest, I became nervous, not wanting to get involved in their issues.

Gazing at the girl in front of me, she bats her eyelashes. Looking at me with that same disgust Beck had in his eyes. I carried my lunch tray looking down into it as if in it were the answers to my curiosity.

She smiled at Beck and placed her hands on my forehead, pushing me away.

"Excuse me, I need to pass." Even if their presence stinks me, I spoke as softly as I possibly can.

"Give way, bitch!"

"And who are you?"

( The inapprehensiveness of believing my ears made me more surprised than actually believing my eyes. She's probably one of his sluts, I guess.)

"I should be the one asking that, pervert!..."

(I think it's best I give this slut my piece of mind)

"And what are you? A god? A scent? Or a truck?! How fat can both of you be for the whole student have to leave the queue?"

Too bad I didn't know her name, I would have insulted her to the core.

Expecting an insult, an evil smirk find it's was through her full lips.

She took the cup of chocolate yogurt and poured it over me. I stood there, in total shock and nervousness.

"Oh my world!" I gasped in tears.

All the students burst out into an uncontrollable laughter. I felt so ashamed, almost boiling myself in my own piss.

"Don't mind this fucking bitch, darling. Let's go darling!" She held his arm and left.

I felt my legs shivering as if they were elastic. I searched for courage to hit her back but It was too late.

My hair, my clothes, my sneakers... I was can't believe I'm dripping in chocolate yogurt. I looked around but all I could hear and see was the annoying laughter from other students. They were snikering at me from every corner, I felt the organism of anger, revenge and shame rushing from inside of me. My mysterious eyes met the brunette haired girl. She looked at me with total pity, as if she was saying sorry.

I quickly dropped my lunch tray and zoomed out of the cafeteria.

"Hey! Excuse me!" She followed me into the restroom. "Hey! Wait up, girl!"

She ran after me, I knew she wanted to stop me. I ran faster, not looking back or stopping.

'I so hate this school... I never loved it from the start, if not for my unfortunate destiny!'

Immediately, I entered one of the rooms, locking myself even before she got here.

I turned on the shower. I was wet, washing everything out in tears. My white crop top and beautiful black jeans trouser, my white sneakers was stained. I walked to the mirror, looking at my sad face. Grabbing my red long hair fistful, squeezing it tight and rinsing it all off. All the water dropped down, leaving my hair dried. I dust my shirt and it dried.

There was a knock on the door.

"I'm sorry... Trust me, I know how bad you must be feeling right now!"

Silence...

"Please open the door, let me in!" She banged the door harder.

Silence..

The only noise I made was me quietly crying and sniffing under the shower. There was an awkward silence for a moment.

Then I saw someone's hands, trying to climb up the toilet's door.

"Who are you and what did you want?" My shaky voice muttered.

"I'm Eleanor Edwards... Please, Open the door !" Her girly voice sounded from the other end.

I opened the door as she fell off, on her butt to the ground.

"Ooouch!"

Looking at how she managed to get up, my face was emotionless.

She wouldn't understand how I dried myself. Sure she wasn't looking, I wouldn't let her know I had such powers.

I quickly walked away as she mysteriously stared at me.

"Where are you, girl?... Wait up!" Her echoing voice sounded close. She must be coming closer, tears poured out my sad eyes again.

A question popped in my head...

'Wait.... Why am I running? Why am I nervous over nothing? She wouldn't know about me, would she?'

I stopped for a moment and turned back to her.

"Are you alright?" She asked, gazing at me form the vanity unit where she was.

I only nodded.

She used her hands to brush through my hair as if I was her daighter.

"Wow! Your hair is so soft and silky... How much does it cost?! I would love to have it!" I wondered why anyone would ever ask me such am awkward question. I almost blushed.

"My Aunt bought it somewhere in Brazil." I sniffed lied.

"Wow... I've never seen anything like it!" She smiled.

I intentionally choked in my tears so she would forget about my hair.

"It's okay, those idiots could be so mean sometimes. Especially Beck, he's just a foolish pervert." She looked around, hoping no one was around, listening.

"And that evil witch, Ash. Ashley Blake.... I knew she would disgrace you, didn't you get my signal?"

"Yes I did but I wasn't sure... Who's Ashley?"

"The slut that did this to you. Beck's girlfriend!"

"So Beck has a girlfriend? I thought players don't have girlfriends."

"He actually does. Even though she's a player worse than he is... I heard they've been together since elementary school."

"Ewwww, It sucks being in a relationship with random people, having sex like a piggy-dog? I can't imagine those two actually have parents."

Eleanor let out a soft laugh, Her dimpled cheek made her smile even more beautiful.

"You're funny girl, but it's the bitter truth we just have to accept." She nods her head, still laughing.

I replied her with a smile. "Well, that's what I think about them?"

"Can we be friends? I've been alone since I came to the Queen's.
Since most of the girls are either wanna be's, Ash's secret agents or Beck's crush."

My heart fluttered a bit when she made her first statement. All of a sudden, She wants to be my friend!... She wants to be my friend, She would know more about me!... I'm terrified. She would know and maybe expose my secrets! I've never had friends since elementary school except for one Abigail Moses who was only my seat mate. We started elementary school and ended high school together in Whitney High School, Charleston Carolina. Then, I tried as much as possible not to get close but... And now she? I poured out a fake laughter and gave her a tight hug saying... "Thanks a lot, Eleanor."

"No... It's nothing. Call me Elle. I prefer being called Elle." She paused a little and looked at me. "What's your name?"

"I'm Marella Zale, I'm new here... In freshman's year actually." I slowly turned down, wearing faint smile.

"I'm in my second year,'' Ella smiled.

Just then the bell rang.

"Oh! It's time for Linguistics class, I need to leave!" I brought up.

"Yeah, I'm having statistics too. See you around, Ella!" She finally left my hands as we walked opposite ways.

The Next Day In School...

As it is, Jordan sits at the last chair by the left while I sit just before him. But I swear, We've never spoken to each other before...

Claire entered the class distributing our English language's test scripts.

"Roseline Daniel... 59%!" Claire almost yelled, handing over her scripts.

"Not as bad as I image, she happily collects the paper from claire, going through it."

"Williams James... Lucky you, 94%!"

"Thanks Angel eyes. He blows her a kiss, squeezing the script into his pocket. Not bothering to check it out because he obviously passed the course.

"Oh no, I can't believe I scored average, Claire Murphy... 50%!"

"Scott Wolfe... 40%!"

"Fuck you, bitch!" He spat, raising his middle finger at her. She nodded her head saying 'whatever'

"Sofie Snow...65%! Keep it up, girl!"

"Thanks for the complement, bestie!"

"Marella Zale..." She skipped it and went to the next...

"Jordan Beckford, Excellent!"

She dare not call out his score out else? She would be disgraced in public.

"The last but not the least, Marella Zale!"

Looking at it, I saw 99%.

She didn't say my score. Claire just rolled her eyes, throwing the paper at me. I quickly picked it up and folded it. Put it into my desk, Someone dragged it from my back. I angrily looked at the person... It was Beck.

"I wonder why Claire didn't call your score... Let me see your zero!"

"Give it back."

I stood up at him, trying to reach for it but I couldn't. I wasn't even reaching his shoulders.

"Can't hear you Ella!"

Everyone burst into laughter. I looked around with anger burning in me. As if what he did in the cafe the other day wasn't enough, how I wanted to give him a hard blow.

I knew he wanted to disgrace me and to tell the whole class what I scored.
I knew it wasn't bad but I don't want to cause any jealosy or hatred like the others do. I don't need any complements like the others, nobody knows me and I want it to be that way.

"I said give it back!" My voice echoes in the class as their laughter drops.

This time, I didn't Jump. I'm not going to disgrace myself for this looser. Everyone was shocked as I spoke with authority.

"You can't even say please..." He joked.

"For what? Hand me my script right now else?!"

"Else what?!" He moves closer to my burning face. "Show me what you've got, kiddo!"

Looking deep into my angry face, he tore up my script and threw it to my face.

I was dumbfolded, as if I was dreaming. I would have kept silent if it was Mavis, not an annoying fellow student from my class... My anger multiplied as I face turned red, almost matching with my hair.

Thwack!

I gave him a good slap... (For what happened yesterday, I was still pizzed off actually.)

He fell down conscious like a piece of tree. His gums were already bleeding inside.

"Awww!" the class murmred in a low pitch. Everyone was dumbfounded before my anger. Beck was wearing that 'Was it just because of the test scripts or something else?' facial expression.

"Don't ever, in your miserable life come my way again else?..." I warned and hissed, leaving him cringing to himself. But my warning sound like a roar to him... Everything around him turned and echoed.

Just then, the rang the bell... It was closing time.
I rolled my eyes at him disgustingly, grabbed my books and walked away.

The rest of the class applauded me before leaving for their various destination. It was something no one has ever tried before..

Liam, Aiden and Scott rushed to grab him up, limping on his feet, they went outside.

"What's up dude?! What's that all about?!" Scott brought up as they got outside. His mouth was already bleeding, staining is white T~Shirt. Scott handed him his hanky.
