Chapter (14):social monster
Inside school.
Inside the classroom, Emma was sitting in her seat waiting for the teacher to come and start the class. The students were all around them.
When Frank passed by her and sat in his seat in the back, Emma looked at him for a second before turning back.
"Frank's actions were strange...."
"This guy was acting strangely, he was surprised by my behavior towards him as if he didn't expect this... Actually, I was surprised too... He didn't look like what was said in the rumors."
"And I don't know if this is his blood or someone else's blood, but it's not my business to interfere... Not anymore...."
Emma remembered that day and the blood splattered around her and how she was treated in the end.
"Huh... How ironic, we are actually almost the same, just in a different way."
Emma was heard the steps and she know the teacher coming soon
"Come on, everyone, sit down and turn off their phones. The lesson will start in a while." The teacher spoke.
Most of the students had gone to their seats, but some of them were Texting with their friends secretly
Emma was looking at the teacher silently and focused on the lesson while she was writing down some numbers on the book
The teacher's lesson was about studying history and soon all the students started to feel sleepy
Time passed and while the students were yawning and some were listening but it was little and the teacher's loud voice was disturbing some of the students
While Emma was continuing to take notes, three people soon entered and there was a boy in the middle but he was short
All the people in the class were excited to meet him and talk while
"Is he a famous person? I don't care, it's not like ___"
Emma's thoughts were interrupted when she stared at Andrew from afar. She saw him grab his fist from under the seat and noticed the features of anger on his face and his eyes narrowing as this boy stared at him when he came.
"Have they met before? No, more than that, I know those eyes very well. They are eyes of hatred and malice. They curse each other, but there is something wrong...
"Andrew's anger is directed at this boy, but he doesn't seem to care about him. In fact, he completely ignores him. And the person he really hates and directs a look of malice at is... me? No! Not me! It's the one sitting behind me!"
The person sitting behind her was Frank Wilson, the person whose hands were stained with blood helping her stand up a moment ago.
"Okay, I only have one question now... Who is he? And why does he look familiar?"
"wait minute!? I remember now! I heard a while ago that there was a fight between the captain of the school football team and a new student and I heard that he went to the medical clinic is he the captain?"
"But he's too short to be a captain of a football team, no offense" Emma thought
While Emma was trying to piece together the threads, to understand the situation that was happening..
"Dan what are you doing here?" The teacher asked Dan as if she knew him
"Sorry for the sudden entrance teacher, but I have an important announcement I want to talk about"
"well,go ahead"teacher spoke to dan
"Hello everyone, some of you may not know who I am, my name is Dan Williams and I am the captain of the Thunder Claw football team, I came here to tell you about an exciting event"
"Coach and I decided to have a friendly match as part of our preparation for the start of the Teenage Football Championship"
When Dan finished his campaign, almost all of Emma's class shouted
"Woaaah!"
"Really!"
"This is amazing!"
"OMG!"
"This is unbelievable!"
When Emma saw all of her class's responses The exaggerated shook her head in exasperation
"Geez, they're exaggerating a lot" Emma thought mockingly
"The game starts tomorrow at nine o'clock, at the Waldron Stadium, but we're short on funds so I need a small favor from you" Dan spoke with a small smile and narrowed his eyes
"We need each of you to donate about twenty dollars, for the preparations, reservations and stadium equipment, I hope you understand" Dan spoke in an apologetic tone
After he finished speaking less than half of them were cheering us on
"It's great of course I support you for our team"
"But twenty dollars?" (whispers)
"Isn't that a bit expensive"
"That cost is a bit much"
"Even I don't have that kind of money"
More than half of the students were nervous. Twenty dollars for a donation was kind of too expensive except for a few students who could bring money but Dan went straight in to ask for the money Surprising them a little
"Question, is it mandatory? I mean maybe we don't have the money today but we will bring it tomorrow" one of the students asked
All the students looked at him and agreed with him, they will bring enough money with them to donate
"Yes that's right we don't have to donate now"
"I'm sorry dude but I will bring the money tomorrow"
"Me too"
"I will bring it tomorrow, I promise"
While the students were retreating
Emma felt something, she felt like the atmosphere had changed, although she saw Dan smiling she felt something
"Unfortunately but I want you to donate today because tomorrow is the match but it's okay, as Faten you will bring it tomorrow, right" Dan spoke
"But I want you to write me a list of names of people who want to donate today and tomorrow" Dan answered narrowing his eyes
"Yes thank you Dan"
"Excuse me for that dude"
While everyone was praising him Emma was thinking about something else Exactly
"What a narcissist" Emma thought sarcastically
"And a donation campaign? That's a bad lie...even for him".
"There were more than eight people avoiding his face and the question is why would they do this?..... It's a silly question obviously because he was threatening them and his gang was bullying them"
"Despite his innocent actions I can tell exactly what kind of person he is"
"Just an arrogant, selfish, narcissistic person"
"And that list is a revenge list because they didn't pay him, and he and his gang will plan to get back at them"
"I can tell just by his smile, which is dripping with poison, I knew this because of his smiley and the way he smiled"
While one of Dan's friends came forward and collected the money and wrote down the names of those who wouldn't pay
Dan paid the money despite being a player and Emma noticed that he was the one who got his money and he was making fun of him and the teacher was completely ignoring it Emma looked at the teacher coldly
"They are all the same" Emma thought angrily towards the teacher
When it was her turn a slightly fat boy came towards her
"20 Dollar"Dan's friend asked
"I don't want to pay"Emma spoke
"Tell me your name"Dan's friend asked
"Don't write it down I won't pay"Emma replied
"Excuse me"He replied with a squint
"You heard me"Emma spoke coldly
"What do you mean you won't pay?"Dan's friend asked and all their eyes were on her
I told you I didn't want to is that an order or what?
"Listen to me just tell me your name before"
"Before what?"Emma asked in a threatening voice as she stared at him
"Hey hey calm down everyone"Dan spoke sportingly
And Emma can I ask why?"Dan asked as he stared at Emma and she added a little smile
"Why? Why is this my business? Why should I care and pay money to people just to play? Isn't that ridiculous?
"Emma!" The teacher shouted at Emma angrily.
"I don't see any point in donating to something that has nothing to do with me." Emma spoke completely ignoring the teacher's shouting.
"And what would guarantee that they would donate to the stadium? I've seen a lot and I know that most of the money goes to them and not to donate."
"And we all know what happened last time." She spoke.
When Emma finished speaking, she mentioned to everyone what the previous leader of Thunder Claw had done.
The previous leader had made a donation, took all the money, and he and his friends went to an amusement park. They were exposed and caused a huge scandal for the school.
Suddenly the atmosphere changed and became filled with tension and suspicion.
"That's right."
"She's right about that."
"What if they were planning to do this too?"
"Can we back out of writing our names?"
Dan now felt that the situation had changed against him and he began to feel angry but he was suppressing it in order to maintain his beloved image
"Well, your name is Emma and what is your title?" Dan's friend asked with slight anger on his face
"I won't tell you and don't write it, even if I write it I won't pay a single cent" Emma replied seriously
"Listen to me you will pay whether you like it or the house, if you don't pay then you"
"And now you're threatening me again, from what I heard a minute ago it's a donation campaign and not a tax campaign or was it just another lie from your leader" Emma spoke interrupting him and spoke to him coldly
"Could what she's saying be true"
"Even though I hate her she's right"
"That's right"
"A question Dan, can we back out of writing our names"
"Me too".
Suddenly the atmosphere heated up and Dan felt something strange from it, he felt like he was losing even though he didn't even fight and he actually started to lose the trust of the people around him and he had to stop his stupid friend before things escalated
"You idiot come here!" Dan thought angrily
"Wait a minute I don't think this is a good idea, it's just a misunderstanding" Dan spoke energetically
"Listen to me bit*h, either say your name or" Dan's friend shouted as his hand rushed towards Emma
"You idiot! Don't you see there are people watching" Dan thought angrily
But suddenly his hand was grabbed by someone and this person knew him very well who it was, it was Frank Wilson
"Don't you think attacking a girl just to get some donation is a bit too much?" Frank asked in a threatening and distorted voice
"Agggh! Get away from me!" Dan's friend shouted angrily
Dan's friend tried to pull his hand out of his grip but to no avail, he grabbed his hand and held it as if his hands were iron
Frank clenched his fist and pushed him and he fell to the ground
"Ugh" Dan's friend shouted Frustrated and scared towards Frank
"Then discipline your dogs well Dax" Frank spoke towards Dan and his yellow eyes gave a cold gleam
"Frank! What are you doing! Come on apologize to him"the teacher spoke in amger
"You mean he apologize to me?" Emma asked towards the teacher and put something back in her pocket
"Huh? Emma what do you mean?! Didn't you see he pushed him and almost broke his hand?!" The teacher asked angrily and took three steps towards her
"So let me get this straight you will tolerate Dan and his team if they hit, hurt and insult anyone, even if they were hitting a girl, but you won't tolerate if someone else tries to defend themselves, just because they're not a sports person?" Emma asked with a threatening air
"What? No..no that's not what I mean...I mean"The teacher stuttered as she spoke.
"Bravo! Really bravo, I honestly expected others and not you and that shows how truly you are" Emil spoke arrogantly and threateningly towards Emma
"So what are you going to do? Are you going to punish me too because I was with him, come on present it either way you have nothing to threaten me with" Emma spoke threatening the teacher
The teacher felt a bad atmosphere in the room, she felt like all the students were looking at her and not a good look, they were staring at her with contempt and anger because she was doing exactly what Emma said
"Hey we are leaving now, I don't want to cause you any problems teacher let's go guys" Dan spoke telling his friends to go out
"Ah, yeah" The teacher spoke and was relieved that the atmosphere had calmed down a bit
As Dan and his friends were leaving Dan glared at Emma with a look of immense anger and hatred
"Damn!...This is the worst possible situation that could happen. My plan was to upset Andrew and his sister, embarrass Frank in front of everyone and humiliate him, but what the h*ll?! Did he help her? I've never seen him do that before," Dan thought angrily.
"And most importantly, that damn girl... just in seconds she turned all the students against me, if Frank is a physical monster then that girl will be a social monster!" Dan thought angrily
At this time, Andrew stared in shock at Emma and how she acted
"She has changed " Andrew thought as he stared at her
But there was something bothering him, Andrew was about to attack this person but he noticed that Frank defended her and protected her
"No way! Is her friend is Frank?!" Andrew thought in shock
And on that day a monster was born.
