"Humans sure are cruel"

Chapter 55: Cruelty
[Jasmine]
"Oi! Watch were you going!"
"Sorry!" i apologize and smiled at the man that i bumped into who just glared at me.
i sign and fixes my blazer that got crease.
i still need to find the president to discuss the stuff about the school festival.
Being the vice president of the student council is very tiring, the president keep dumping all his works to me if he thinks they are troublesome to make.
I admit that he's very attractive.
Girls in our room would squeal with just the sight of him and everyday someone wold confess their feelings towards him.
i took a deep breath and raises my head to stare in front of the road and started walking again when i accidentally bump someone again.
"Ah sorry" i close my eyes to brace myself from the scolding the person might give me.
but i didn't hear anything.
peaking with one eye i was greeted with a very attractive face.
She looks pretty and handsome at the same time.
she is still opening the wrapper of her lollipop when she's done she put it inside her mouth before looking at me.
i don't know why i keep on staring at her but there
there's something to her that makes me feel relax and content.
Peyton kallid. the genius of Quincy Academy.
"It's fine" she walk pass me and my gaze followed her figure before deciding to go back to my school.
School is the same as always.
My classmates would give me their cleaning work and copy my homework.
when they are done they would throw it away from me.
The teachers would ignore my presence and sometimes order me to do some stuffs for them.
Signing i started finishing the project Amelia needed for her art class.
i glance towards her way and saw her flirting with the president. they wee giggling and laughing to something unknown to me.
but i already know that they were laughing to the misfortune of our classmates.
the door opened and my eyes landed towards the beautiful figure that entered our room.
she has a pair of black eyes and black hair. she's the person i bump earlier morning.
i immediately retracted my eyes away from her when he suddenly glance towards me.
her eyes were black, it's plain but beautiful. they look very sleepy and her posture is so slouchy and she seems tired.
but her listless demeanor didn't fail to hide her beauty. i... i ... i envy her.
"oi jasmine are you done?" an annoyed voice snap me out my thoughts and i immediately stared at the owner and saw amelia looking down at me with both his hands on her hip.
"not yet, sorry" she just clicked her tongue and sat back beside the president.
i took a quick glance towards the person i was thinking earlier and saw her asleep.
Peyton Kallid i always see her sleeping in the classroom and everyone thinks that she's always slacking and a genius who doesn't need to study and can easily reach the top.
a cheater and a delinquent.
Despite the concern and awe expression from the teachers that the students sees they had. behind peyton and everyone;s back they are staring at her as if she's a monster.
they are disgusted by her and always think that she's cheating and letting hadley do all the work for her.
causing her to reach the rank 1.
but i know she doesn't... i saw it once. how she stays in the library from evening to morning to study and do her projects.
i finally finish the project and amelia grab it to me with a mocking smirk and a glare before going back to her seat.
the teacher finally came in and the discussion started again.
"we humans are.... , a culture-bearing upright-walking that lives on the ground and very likely first evolved in about 315,000 years ago...Scientific evidence shows that the physical and behavioral traits shared by all people originated from apelike ancestors and evolved over a period of approximately six million years... Miss Kallid could you please read the next para- she's not here again? where is she? does anyone know where's peyton kallid again?"
the students just shrug to our teacher's question.
i rested my chin on my hand and stared at the now empty chair and opened window.
i am pretty sure she's going to the library again to read and then go to the rooftop to catch some sleep.
i smiled softly and went back to listening to my teacher.
.
.
.
"You are so disgusting vice president" my breath hitch when my back hit the back of the toilet.
i stared at my wallet that Amelia is holding and tried to stop her from stealing my money but i receive a harsh kick on my stomach.
my eyes widen as i stared at the president who wears a cruel smile.
"What's with that surprise expression in your face deary?"
i never thought he would resort from violence to.
he's the reason why i become the vice president. i first thought he wanted to help me from coming out my shell but he actually made me the vice to dump all his works to me.
how heinous...
i weakly laid my head on the side and listen to their footsteps and laughter slowly disappearing.
i stared at my legs and arms filled with bruises.
i raise my hand and touch my face lightly winching when i felt pain when touching it.
i heard another footsteps entering the room and one of them are talking about a game and it's characters and stuff.
"Hey have you watch the priestess?"
"the priestess? what's that?"
"it's an anime"
"you know i don't watch anime right?"
"boo you, you can try watching it Na-"
she was cut off and i heard a loud smack from the outside of the cubicle.
"Ouchy nana! that hurts!"
The priestess, i hear about that game. but wasn't interested to buy it.
i weakly stood up and weakly went to my bag laying near me and went to hide my bruises with concealers.
They needed to be hidden so my mother won't worry.
i wish she would... i only felt her love by violence.
i sometimes think she isn't my mother... i sigh and stood up and i hear the door closes again indicating that the pair already went out.
i tired opening the cubicle but it won't bulge i heard something behind it causing me to frown.
i stared upwards and went to climb the cubicle.
it took me a minute to finally escape the room when i did i saw the door of the cubicle i was locked in locked with a padlock.
i frown slightly but immediately erases it.
i shouldn't feel this way... some people had it harder.
... humans sure are cruel.
