It all started in my 2nd year of High School. I was having the best life. I'm at the top of my class, have many friends, and am good at sports. I mean, what else can I wish for? Everyone liked me. Well …Not everyone.
It was after school. I stayed a bit late to do my homework at the library because I didn't want anything school-related after I got home. Home is supposed to be my place to relax and nothing else. I noticed it was getting late, so I started packing my things and prepared to leave. I said goodbye to the librarian on duty before I headed outside. When I got out of the facility, out of nowhere a water balloon was thrown at me.
And then I heard the laughter of people to my right. It was a few of my classmates and two other girls I didn't recognize. I was at a loss.
Why would they do this to me? I thought to myself. And then one of them with a curly ponytail came up to me. She grabbed me by the wrist and forcefully dragged me to the side of the library. After dragging me, she threw me to the ground. I tried to get up, but I was met with her right hand.
SMACK!
It hurts…
"AHAHAHAHA, that's what you get!" The tan girl with a bob cut shouted.
"This better teach you a lesson" The tall girl with a boyish cut added.
What have I done to deserve this? I thought to myself. "Why… Why are you guys doing this?" I uttered, tears welling up in my eyes.
And then the girl with the ponytail grabbed the back of my hair to tilt my head to look at her and said "Why are we doing this? Heh." She sneered and then pulled my hair before letting go. "You should know that" She looked pissed like I was playing dumb, but I was not. I have no clue what she is angry at me for.
"Please… I'm sorry. I don't know what you are talking about" I answered, I couldn't think of a single thing why they would do this to me. But my answer only irritated her and she slapped me again, but this time I covered my face with my hand to lessen the pain.
SMACK
She grabbed the collar of my shirt and brought my face close to hers before she shouted "You bitch! Do you think playing dumb would work on me!?" She angrily said and continued "Just because you're smart and cute doesn't mean you can go around flirting with people you whore!" My eyes widened from what I heard.
What Is she talking about? I've never tried flirting with anyone, all I did was help others with their studies. I will never do such a thing to anyone. I have no intention of doing so. The only thing I have done was be helpful to others, to help them study. That's all there is to it nothing more.
"But Hana, that is just a big misunderstanding! I don't know what you are saying. I was only trying to help my other classmates" I said, trying to clear up the misunderstanding.
"So now you're trying to deny it, there is no use playing innocent. We know what you are doing. There is no point in hiding it!"
No matter what I say, they're not listening to me. They thought that I was plotting something. Why? When all I've ever done was be nice to everyone, be helpful to everyone. Is being too kind that bad? Is this… What do I get for being friendly to anyone?
"AHAAHAHAHA! Look at her, she can't even say anything now. What? Runnin' out of excuses?" One of the girls said while chewing gum "Let's teach her some more lessons"
"N-N-NO! Please! I don't want it anymore!" I shouted, my voice stuttering from fear "I-I will do anything you say! So please leave me!"
They did not listen to me begging for mercy. They all slowly surrounded me. I was done. All I could do was curl up to a ball and embrace all their hit at me. I was scared… I feared the what will happen to me
"This will make things clear to you to stay away," Hana said, glaring at me
"HEEYY!!"
They were about to gang up on me when they suddenly heard a voice. It was the librarian at the entrance of the library. After seeing the librarian, all of the girls bolted out of the scene so as not to be recognized. The librarian tried chasing them but they all scattered in different directions and she couldn't decide which one to go after. Seeing she couldn't chase any of them, she went over to me to check if I was okay instead.
"Are you alright!? Those bastards!" She said, picking me up to sit and she started looking around my body to see if I had bruises. "Don't worry I'll get you to the clinic right away". She helped me stand up and helped me walk to the school clinic.
