Chapter Two

XIENNE

“Hey? Are you really going to be slow? Hurry up, we are hungry here! ”Clark shouted from their table.

I am here at the counter waiting for my order to be served or should I say, their orders. I did not bother to answer him. I waited patiently for the canteen staff to give me the food I ordered.

His shout was heard by many students. I am used to it. It is like their everyday routine to order me some things they can really do but chose to make someone do it for them. I'm still confused if it is still normal for a college student to act like a kid. 

They made me as their laughing stuff. I can't fight back. I do not have enough courage to do that.

But that was before.

I can play them through my hands. I can make them dumb and fool. I can kill them.

Do all the things like this until they can because, in the end, I will make them beg.

They will call my name, not to order me, but to beg for me. 

They better enjoy what they are doing now, they will not be able to do that next time.

"Here is your order, Xienne," said the canteen saleslady. I smiled at her because she was kind to me.

I took the two trays then walked slowly. They bought a lot of food. I still need to go back to the counter for another tray.

"Fuck,” I wailed, annoyed.

I stared at the idiot who bumped into me. “Are you not looking where you are going? Didn't you see me, huh? Be careful next time. Freaking idiot."

I looked at the scattered food on the floor I had been holding in my right hand earlier. I laid another tray on a table.

“Hey, Xienne! Did your mother just raise you to be a fool? ” Clark shouted as he approached. “You are so stupid and sluggish, We've been hungry for a while and then you will just throw away our food? Are you even thinking?”

I took a deep breath then stared him in the eye. “Did I throw it away? Fool! I did not throw it away intentionally. Someone bumped into me. Do you really go to college with having such kind of stupidity? Did your mother just raise you to be stupid?” I whimpered at him.

I saw the annoyance on his face. His jaw tightened then he shook his head slightly as if he could not believe what I said.

"Repeat what you have said!" said Clark. I stayed silent. "Repeat it!" he shouted.

I laughed in a way that will make him even angrier. “Which will I repeat? That, did you get to college with that level of stupidity of yours?’ I crossed my arms. “Where is the lie there? You can’t even reach the passing score of a quiz. Even the professors told you to drop their subjects because they feel that they're ineffective teachers. They think that you’re not learning from them no matter how good they are in teaching.”

"You are getting overboard, huh?" He was about to slap me but the man who bumped me stopped him.

Then I noticed that he was the man who talked to me the other day and called me creepy.

Now that I saw him clearly and closely enough to see his whole face, he is undeniably handsome.

"It's bad to hurt a woman, dude," he said.

“Who are you and why do you have the guts to interfere? Are you the boyfriend of this idiot? ” Clark waved his hand to loosen the hold of the man.

I shook my head and laughed at him. Clark looked away from the man and turned to me again.

"You know, Clark, I feel sorry for your parents," I said then I made a sad face. "They are wasting their money for you to go to school while you do nothing, you are a certified bully and gangster wannabe. You know, bullying is no longer a doing of a college student, it is a behavior of a five-year-old kid. But, anyway, your brain will pass for a kindergarten. ”

Those who heard laughed. "And I think, it's time for Lexy to know that you are just using her." I looked at her girlfriend who’s watching us.

Her forehead furrowed as if wondering what I had said. I looked at Clark again, his eyes widened.

“You wouldn’t like to mess with me, Xienne. You know the consequences,” he mumbled.

"As if I’m scared. I’m not scared anymore, Clark, ”I hissed. “I’m tired of being afraid of all of you. What should I be afraid of you? You’re just a weak person pretending to be brave by bullying others. You should be the one to be scared of me. You don’t know how I make moves. Checkmate, Clark. Be safe,” I said.

For the second time, I left them all confused. I saw Lexy stood up from her seat.

I hurriedly walk. I know Clark's girlfriend is following me. Dumb.

"What do you need?" I asked but did not worry to stop walking.

"What do you mean with what you had said earlier?"

I confronted her. “He’s using you. For lust, for money, for fame. Are you stupid? Didn’t you notice that? ” I rolled my eyes at her.

“You know what, I thought you were stupid and weak. But what you did earlier impressed me,” she said.

My forehead furrowed because of what he said. “Seriously? Now that you know he just used you, won't you be hurt at all or what? What I did earlier is really your concern, huh?”

Argh. It is not really nice if you have the looks but you do not have the brain. 

She laughed. “Ah, that, it doesn't hurt. I just used him too. Though, I used him in times of my need as a woman. Lust, to be clear enough for you to understand. He used me for fame and money, I don't bother. I am not bothered. That is not a big deal for me.”

I smiled because of what she had said. This woman is weird. Like a fool.

"I'm planning to break up with him too." She added.

"Okay, if you say so." I turned my back on him and started walking again.

I failed to eat lunch because of Clark and that annoying guy whoever he is or whatever his name is.

“Come on, hey! I want to be friends with you!” Lexy shouted.

I thought she already left me alone. 

I smiled demonically. "I don't want to."

"Ah, you are unbelievable!" She chased after me and held my arm. "Please. You're so cool."

I continued walking. She's still holding my right arm like I am going to escape from her.

Tsk, I have no plans to make friends. I’m an outcast here. Then, it is better to be careful. She might even know the things I was hiding.

“No,” I said firmly.

She pouted and blinked her eyes twice as if begging me. “Please? It's as if you already have a friend here. You are always alone.”

Yeah, she's right. No one dared to talk to me and make friends with me for real. A true friend who has a real and pure intention, I never had one.

I stopped walking. “You have a lot of friends. Why do you still want me to be your friend? Are you collecting?”

She laughed again. “No, just like Clark, they’re using me, too. And one of them is Clark's real girlfriend. Do you know Sheena? ” She rolled her eyes into the air. “She thought I was treating her as my best friend. Eww, no! They are both users. They are just good to be together. Both trash.”

I shouldn’t laugh but she already made me laugh.

"Probably, I know about that thing because they talk to you every day in class. They think you are a very stupid person,” I said. " Which was proven."

Lexy is the Governor's daughter. She's rich and famous here at the University so many students want to make friends with her to take advantage.

“So, are we friends now? I made you laugh earlier,” she said while smiling broadly.

“Tsk, fine,” I said.

Of course, I just said that to stop her bothering and following me 

I don't want a burden in my life. She might just ruin the plans I made.

I found myself heading at the back of the University with this dumbhead. She hugged my arm like she's scared.

"What are we doing here?" She asked.

"I'll serve you to the wild animals to be their lunch for today. They haven't eaten yet since last week. I am worried about them, they might be very hungry and wants to eat human flesh for today," I seriously said.

No words came from her mouth even if it is wide open.

"Are you serious?"

"Do I look like I am joking?" I grabbed her hands and pulled her towards the tall grasses. She screamed. I hold my laughter.

After a few seconds of looking at her frightened face, I burst into laughter.

"Your face is priceless. HAHAHAHAHA. I regret not filming it."

Her eyebrows are subtle. She hit my arm with her hands. "You scared me, bitch."

"Suits yourself."

You should know where to place yourself.
