♤♤♤♤ THE BEGINNING ♤♤♤♤

“Hey! Watch it freak!” A student bumped into Claire Wilson as she was walking to her next class, making her fall. But instead of apologizing, the screamed at her.

Claire Wilson is a beautiful eighteen years old girl with pale and delicate skin. Black and white baby eyes. And mostly, long deep brown hair with little curls that go down to her waist. And that's one thing many of the female students are jealous of.

Though Claire is poor and doesn't wear any expensive clothes or shoes, but her skin is always delicate and her face is beyond beautiful and alluring.

She actually comes from a well-to-do family. Her family has their own company and Mansion, but Claire is not more than a maid in that house. No one really cares about her and she'd always be giving their surplus.

Hence, everyone in her college thinks she comes from a poor family since her parents have never come to her school even when the school principal calls for their presence.

It's always their house help who comes in place of her parents.

With her supper IQ, in fact, a genius and a top student in the whole college, many students hated her for all her qualities simply because she was poor.

Claire instead apologized to the boy who bumped into her. She decided to pick up her books and leave quietly. This bully has become part of her already. In fact, she has grown immune to their bullies.

But before Claire could even touch her books, two girls kicked her books away from her grasp, making the rest of the students in the hallway laughing at her.

Claire ignored them and walked towards her scattered books.

“Fuck! Let me out! Let me out so that I can kick their fucking asses!” A voice inside her head fumed angrily.

Claire just shook her head in NO. She can't talk to her inner voices now. It will make the students call her names again.

“Claire, can you at least try to defend yourself? These people are clearly bullying you, and they have done it on several occasions. When are you going to retaliate?” Another voice inside her head said to her.

But this voice was much calmer than the previous one.

Claire continued shaking her head in NO without saying anything.

“Hey, freak… just quit schooling here. Because you are brilliant and top of every class doesn't mean this school is for you!” A girl said to her mockingly, but she got furious when Claire totally ignored her and immediately left for the restroom.

The moment Claire entered the restroom, she immediately regretted it as she was met face-to-face with Jane Grayson, the one who started her bullying. Jane was with her three best friends, who always follow her around as if they were her maids or dogs.

Well, Jane is the daughter of the school principal, so she does anything she wants without getting punished or any consequences.

On the contrary, if you dare retaliate against her bully, be prepared to get suspended. This, makes everyone want to be on her good side always.

Those who get on her bad side never get to continue their college, as they will immediately be suspended or even kicked out of the school.

Claire, on the other, knowing that never fights back all this while, even when Jane beats her to the extent of making her body bruised all over.

She just wants to finish college and find a job to do to help her move out of her parent's house, which can be called "Hell On Earth”.

Claire pretended not to see Jane and went straight to one of the cubicles. But before she could even walk past her, Jane grabbed her hair and pulled her back harshly.

Claire hissed in pain. She grabbed Jane's hand and tried to pull it from her hair, but Jane's other three friends immediately grabbed her hands to give Jane more access to her.

Claire screamed in pain but Jane didn't even bulge. Her hatred for Claire is more than anyone could imagine.

As the daughter of the school principal, she felt jealous of Claire being the top student whilst she always gets the lowest grades.

Her father and some teachers have to give her a pass though she clearly fails most of her exams.

“Fuck! Let me out, Claire! Please!” A voice said in her head with so much anxiety. Claire could clearly hear the anger and panic in the voice inside her head.

She knows if she allows that person to take control over her body, everything in the school will turn upside down. Thus Claire has to make sure she's in control of her body all the time, except on a few occasions.

“Jane! Let go of my hair! Jane, it hurt!” Claire cried out, but Jane only shoved her out of the restroom and pulled her to the school corridor, where most of the students were.

Almost all the students started laughing at Claire's despair face as Jane and her friends inflicted their punishment on her.

“Come on Jane! You can do it! Show that freak her place in this school." A boy shouted, making the rest of the students chuckle in amusement.

Some even whistled, which made Jane and her friends become bolder.

From the corner of her eyes, Claire saw the school principal, who was looking at his daughter with a smirk as if what his daughter was doing wasn't a big deal.

Some teachers stood there with nonchalant faces. In fact, almost the whole school hated Claire, simply because she was a genius who comes from a poor family.

Some teachers hated her because Claire sometimes points out their mistakes in the middle of their teachings, which according to them and in their eyes, was rude.

They think Claire likes to bluff, simply because she's a genius. But none of them knows the reason behind her intelligence or else they would be shocked.
