Now she is 15 years old, Aranya grew up to be a beautiful teenage girl with long jet black curly hair that reached her hips, Glossy blue eyes, a cute straight nose, and a rosy thin heart-shaped lip. Even though she was only 5 feet tall, everything about this teenage girl was elegant. She was a true beauty that anyone would admire. Above all, she became a strong girl that knows how to protect herself, of course, it was all thanks to her father who taught her how to fight, and her mother that supported her.
She is a well-known bully in the school, but that is just a misunderstanding. That's because anyone who dares to lay a finger on her will suffer from her strong beatings for this reason, those who were beaten by her will make themselves innocent as expected they will gain sympathy from their classmates while Aranya will only get hatred. She didn't mind it though she was loved by her family and teachers. At least she hoped that there were teachers who loved her for who she was, not for her parents' wealth. Other than that she has good grades; she doesn't even bother to clear her name until today it went too far.
She was in the canteen studying all afternoon because she didn't have an afternoon class. She was oblivious to the fact that she was alone now and the few students that were in the canteen had left to have fun in the gym or they are getting ready to go home. She stood up when she felt her back getting sore from all the sitting she looked around and started to walk back and forth waiting for her friend Teaz aka her driver and personal bodyguard to come and pick her up from school.
"hey ugly duck do you think the teachers will save you now you are our prey to eat alive and we will make sure you won't dare to bully us again; forget about bullying us we will make sure you will not even be able to lift your head and walk proud again how can you if that pretty face of yours is marred with scars?" She heard a teenage boy's voice. It looks like she has company, a terrible one at that, but there was no fear in her eyes as she scanned the canteen looking around. She turned around and walked to the place she suspected the voice came from. It was from under a table around the door of the canteen. She doubted that it would only be one boy.
"Come and try me," she retorted, noticing that no one was there except for the bullies. "don't blame us you asked for this!!" Warned the other as if she started the challenge. Everyone who was hiding started to come out one by one. Aranya scanned everyone from head to toe like they were a piece of document.
" Good luck IF YOU STAND A CHANCE " she emphasized her last phrase mocking them to the core, it was an insult for them who came as a group to be told good luck while she is only on her own. And that was her last word before she saw the 12 boys and 4 girls who were ready to beat her to a pulp. The thought itself made her smirk dangerously.
Crash##!!! A glass was thrown at her but she was extremely fast to dodge it and instead it hit the boy behind her. " How dare you make my brother suffer you ugly duck" the boy's sister barked as she glared at Aranya for her act. "oh, sorry!! Was I supposed to stand still? "Aranya answered, her voice dipped in sarcasm. And she jumped on the table next to her to have a good overall sight of the place and of course the jerks.
Even though she was acting arrogantly because they deserved it she was scared at the back of her mind; how would she face her overprotective father? Even though her 16th birthday is in 4 months he still treats her like as if she was a baby, not that she was complaining instead she liked it when her parents spoil her like what they are doing now her father even assigned 4 of his trusted men to be on her guard 24/7 except on the time that he was personally with her. That's how her father is. He cherished her and her mother a lot. But now seeing her situation even though she will win she was certain that she would get some bruises and worse bleeding wounds she doubted if she could hide it from her father for long and when he sees it he will be like " wait for me in your room resting on your bed I will bring some medicines" with a caring yet sad and angry voice at the same time. She gulped hard thinking of it because she felt bad for her guards; she would tell her father it was all her fault.
She thought of all the worst outcomes and jumped on one of them making sure she knocked him out before and turned to face the others attacking her almost all at once. They started throwing things at her like chairs, glass, and plates making her bleed. This only made her angry and when she was about to turn and end this she got an unexpected attack from behind. The hit was so painful that she felt dizzy and her sight turned blurry, but soon she was able to beat all of them unconscious. She was fighting incredibly to knock out 16 people all on her own. She was careful not to hurt too much though.
She called Teaz to take care of the mess. "Hello, can you guys please come to the canteen? I swear they started it first. Please come and help me." She pleaded. "Alright we will be there in no time and you will explain," he said and hung up the phone he was worried as this only meant she might be hurt. He told the team to move; they didn't waste any time going to the canteen as they were at the gate of the school. But when they reached there they were all stupefied by the sight that welcomed them. About ten or more teenagers were lying flat on the floor all unconscious. And the tables were messed up like a huge tornado destroyed the cafeteria. They lifted their heads to see injured Aranya smiling the most awkward and sheepish smile. They were glad that she wasn't hurt severely, though it was silly of them to think that her injuries were mild at least that's what it looked like; even though she wasn't feeling that much pain earlier, but to her surprise the pain slowly started to intensify as time went on.
"Guys I swear it is not me who started it they were ganged up to beat me. I just tried to protect myself plus I just hit them on the right spot just enough to make them unconscious. I didn't kill them" she sulked like a child who was about to be confronted for a big mess she created. She will be confronted, but later.
"Are you sure you are okay kiddo?" Teaz asked her. He was the friend who would snitch to her parents about everything, particularly to her father. She hoped he wouldn't do it this time.
"Yes I am okay" she assured him and continued "but please don't tell this to dad," she said with puppy eyes. Teaz just stared at her as if he didn't understand the language she spoke before saying, "Okay!! guys time for work! you go to the cc tv and make sure to sue the kids for trying to harass her and two of you would take them to the hospital and call their parents and make sure that they won't sue her at all costs and I will take her to the mansion" he made very clear orders his voice filled with authority.
Aranya who saw the way he stared at her expected this to come and she pouted half because Teaz disappointed her and half because her pain was getting worse by the minute.
"But …." She started to protest but Teaz just cut her off, and gave her the 'It is for your own good' kind of look. And they walked to the gate of the school where a black Mercedes was parked. Soon they reached home. She was wishing that her parents were not home yet, but to her disappointment, they were both waiting for her to come from school, and from their worried faces it looked like they knew something was wrong.
