Bai Xi's Pov:
I dodged her by stepping aside and she missed me by a large gap. I clicked my tongue at her and I think it angered her further because she turned back and spewed a few good expletives.
"You bitch, how dare you sidestep me?!!!" she screeched in her nasally voice.
"What Did you think I should have done then, stayed back?! Or do you think I don't have brain like just like you. Don't compare me with yourself, you might lose your already few brain cells thinking of a comeback, if you think anymore." I mocked her.
She seethed while gritting her teeth but didn't say anything more which is great for her because if she had then I would have reduced her to nothing.
I damn know how to shut a mouth.
"And next time don't mess with me. I ain't your regular victim. If you tried to mess with me then I will mess with you too.
So get ready to handle that." I warned her in my no bullshit voice which she finally heed to as she gulped while looking at me. She finally took a step back as everyone around here stayed silent.
I scoffed at her and turned to pick my bag up and left after throwing a glare on her.
I don't feel the slightest guilt about my threat because I have learnt long ago, that if you want to survive, then you have to fight back and stop being pited on. To stop bullies the first step has to be yours. You can't expect anyone else to step up for you.
Anyways, It wasn't my fault in the first place. I wasn't the first to bully her. She started it, so she needs toface it back.
If she thinks she can bully me she has another thing coming. I have had my fair share of bullies. My family has been a huge bully to me since childhood.I don't have time for another bully in my life. My family is enough of that. Hence I am not letting anyone else be a part of it.
It has been my motto growing up that I don't deal with bullies and I am not changing that now also.
Though my maternal family has been a big bully of all time, growing up bullying me on their whims doesn't mean I let them have their way. I have survived all through with nothing but my sheer perseverance to survive.
I have already faced the worst of it when they tried to kill me when I was just five and all throughout my life in various instances.I have had time to learn to fight back all throughout my life on how to deal with bullies.
I have been feeling angered as I have walked long way away from the theatre and I have seemed to reach the end of the campus and the start of the small cliffline which I think leads upto the cliff on which the campus is located.
I huffed and let myself calm down as I felt the anger ebbing away from me. I can fight back but that doesn't mean it doesn't hurt everytime. My life has basically been nothing but a tests of survival. I have never had a single moment of peace other than the last few days that I have spended with Si Yihan.
Before him I didn't even know peace existed or the way life can be felt when I was with him, even for just a few moments but it was the most peaceful I have ever felt in my life. I have never had felt this safe all through my life the way I felt with him and now that I have had the taste of it I am constantly craving for it, the freedom and warmth that comes with being with him.
It has been not more than a few hours since I last saw him, but I am already missing him.
I curse my thoughts for wandering in the wrong direction but I can't help it. This is my first day being here and I am already tired of it. I huffed as I took a seat on the edge of the cliff.
It's a scenic view from here as a small meadow can be seen from here and sounds of wildlife down there feels soothing. I let myself sit there for a few more moments. I felt myself calming down and got up while dusting my butt to remove the gravel and sand. It seems to be gravelly here. I have to get back to my next class and then I also have to go look for my dormitory.
Though I already have a home, but I might have to stay here on weekdays as it is mandatory for students to be present on weekdays as classes often stretches to nights due to constant enaction of various plays and drama and since they all consist of various times and sometimes may stretch to odd times. Hence, students are required to be present on all times. So, I don't mind staying back as it would be easy for me to attend classes at the same time go to gallery which is only a few miles from here.
I slowly turned while still dusting myself off when I got scared seeing a face so close to me, staring at me, that I jerked back in reflex and directly took a step back into the meadow behind me.
