The class began to complain as we left.
"What the hell is wrong with him!?"
"I know right!? We did this for him."
"Maybe we took it too far. He didn't say anything before."
"Yeah, that must be it!"
"Which idiot's idea was this!?"
"We can argue later let's clean up for now!"
...
And soon I couldn't hear them anymore.
"Why did you help me?" I asked.
"Because they took it too far." He replied.
"But you hate me, don't you?"
"I don't."
"What? But—"
"I don't hate you."
He bought me ice cream. He waited for me to finish then we returned to class. There were no traces of glass shards left.
I was heading to my corner but Draken followed me. He took my bag and placed it in the seat next to him.
Ms. Pims returned with a sour expression.
"What are you doing there?" She glared at me.
"I made her," Draken answered.
"Sigh. You don't have to stick up for your bully. Rose, get back to your corner."
"It's not very professional to bully your student," Draken commented.
"What?" Ms. Pims was surprised.
"She was sitting next to the bin while others threw garbage at her."
"She chose to—"
"You could have just made her swap seats with someone."
"I—"
People began whispering.
'Draken is going to make enemies if he keeps defending me.'
"Fine. She can sit there as long as she doesn't bother you." Ms. Pims looked mad but the class went on and soon it was Lunch.
After that catastrophe, I had Physical Education with Ms. Pims.
"Hurry the hell up." Ms. Pims ordered.
"Umm, I don't think I can participate. You see I don't feel so good, I also injured my hand and my ankle is sprained."
"What? Child, don't lie to me." She ignored my complaints.
"Hey, everyone!" She got everyone's attention and mocked me in front of the class while everyone laughed.
"Princesses have to do sports too." She mocked. "Now get out there and play volleyball!!!" She yelled.
I did as I was told. We were playing volleyball. I hit the ball over the net then everything went black. I woke up in the nurse's office.
When she realised I was awake she sent me to the principal's office.
When I entered Draken and Emily were arguing.
"If she was bullying me why is she the one in the nurse's office!?"
"If she wasn't bullying you, why are you the only one who is actually hurt!?"
"She had glass shards in her hand and a sprained ankle. Plus she literally fainted during class!"
"That was obviously fake! She used that as a cover-up to break your nose because she thinks you are behind the glass incident."
"That just plain false!"
"Nice to see you join us, Miss Rose.
"What is happening?"
"You are being expelled. The reason is for bullying and injuring a student." The principal informed.
"What? Did I injure someone? What are you talking about?" I was very confused.
"I can't believe I fell for your manipulation tricks." She sighed.
"Seriously what is going on!? Can someone tell me what happened!?!?"
"Stop pretending. This will be going on your permanent record. You are lucky Draken won't press charges. You trained him well. He's defending you to the end. Leave and don't come back until you learn how to be a decent human being!"
I stormed out of the room with tear-filled eyes.
"Are you okay?"
"What the hell do you think!?"
"I know it may be difficult but—"
"But what!?"
"I—"
"Why did you just decide to care about me? If you never hated me before why didn't you do anything!?"
"I... Uhh..."
"Are you having fun!? Is this entertaining to you!?!?!"
"You think I caused this!?"
"Yeah! I do! Ever since you came to this school my life has been a living nightmare! My life before was terrible but you somehow managed to make it look like a damn fairy tale!!!! What else do you want from me!?!?"
"I think you need to calm down."
"Calm down!? CALM DOWN!? My life is ruined because of you and you want me to CALM DOWN!?!?"
"Rose." He reached out to me
"DO NOT touch me!"
"It's just a misunderstanding. I'm sure they will change their mind once they realise that."
"A misunderstanding? A misunderstanding got me EXPELLED!?!?"
"Well, yes... But—"
"I hate you! I HATE YOU SO MUCH!!! WHY CAN'T YOU JUST GO TO HELL AND LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!!!!!"
The whispering, recording and mocking soon started. "Look at her throwing a hissy fit after being caught!"
"She's trying to victim blame!"
"I HATE ALL OF YOU!!!! EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU!!!! CAN'T YOU JUST LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE!!!! IS IT THAT FUN MAKING MY LIFE HARDER!?!?!? DO YOU ALL HATE ME!?!? Am I..." One minute I was crying and screaming the next minute everything went black again.
When I woke up again, I was in my room and my sister was yelling at me.
I was just so tired. Tired of everything. I even wished I was never born.
News of me injuring Draken spread like wildfire. There were so many different versions of what they believed happened. Soon I was the most hated person on the internet. Everyone was talking about how much they hated me or what made them realise I was a horrible person. I didn't want to read them anymore but Hope made me. She said that I won't ever grow if I didn't see the results of my mistakes.
They tried to fix my reputation as much as possible but there were barely any fans left. Before I still had millions now I barely had a thousand.
Things were bad but then two posts pushed things over the edge.
Fani uploaded a picture of himself holding flowers and a basket of fruits with the caption, "Visiting a close friend in the hospital."
And someone anonymously posted a video of me losing my temper.
Based on all the hate it seemed like I hurt Draken but I didn't know how I did. There were so many stories and most of them didn't seem possible.
Anyway, after those two posts people started braking our windows with bricks, leaving threatening notes, mailing me dead rats and a lot of other mean stuff.
Sister got even more strict and this is without a doubt the toughest time period of my life. Well, right behind my parents' death.
I hated every second of every day.
And with each day my hate for Draken grew.
The reason I had to go through all this was him. He was the reason. And I hated him for that.
