Novel & Cerita Campus Bully

Xyrius Dale Smith. The absolute worst person to mess with. The most arrogant, insufferable, and notorious bully in the entire university. He had no limits. No one was safe from his pranks—not even the professors. There were rumors that some teachers had resigned because of him, and there was even talk of a student who had try to take their own life after being targeted by his bullying. Her entire body tensed. Even her esophagus and small intestines seemed to tremble in fear.

Everyone treats them as their role models. Kaya nga noong nagsimula silang tratuhing mga reyna sa campus, sinusunod na sila ng lahat. Simula sa pananamit hanggang sa pananakit ng iba para makuha ang gusto nila. I admit they are bullies, including my classmates. They even bully me at times when they are bored, or they just want to overpower someone. They think I am the perfect candidate since... I don't fight back.

I was the one who studied until 3 AM and still only managed A-minuses which in our house was the same as a D. The pressure wasn't just from the schoolwork though. That was the least of it. It was the unfair bullying. It started online as a joke by my loser ex-boyfriend and his jerk friends. They capitalized on things like my anxiety, my tendency to stutter when nervous and my insecurity over my plain face. They made memes out of my school ID picture. They started a hashtag that trended through the whole region for a full week. They called me "The Ghost of the Library."

Ms. Ruby seems to be losing her patience, massaging her temple. "Angel, go on." "Thank you, Ms. Ruby. Cassy and her friends have been bullying me from the very beginning, and I never retaliate as I don't want to tarnish my reputation on this campus, especially that I am a new student here. They insult me for being poor and even included my mother for calling her names which pains me to hear. I wouldn't mind if they targeted me, not my mom. I already warned Cassy and her friends not to spit lies about my mom. The first time Cassy made a false accusation of me was when she spread the news that I snatched her boyfriend from her, which is not true."

I pulled my head back away from Baxter, feeling disgusted by what he did. "Don't touch her." Billy fired back. "Ohhh. I'm really scared of you, wimp. Where's your back up? Oh wait, you're still a fucking recruit." Baxter said as he strongly push Billy and laughed. Billy almost fell on the ground but I quickly caught him. Baxter and his friends laughed at him like they were having fun with what they were doing and well the other students around us were laughing at us too. In every school there will always be a bully only that this bully is not a high school bully. I need to get rid of my mindset as a high schooler. Baxter's a goddamn frat member, a whole new level of being a bully and I know

But there were cases when they’d keep at it until their victim couldn’t take it anymore and ended up transferring out. When I first got here, I never thought college would be like this. Bullying felt like a high school thing. I was so wrong. Worse? The administration didn’t even try to stop it. They wouldn’t dare lose the fat “donations” from the wealthy parents of those same students. The thought of it made my blood boil. “Aiden. Eat,” Mitz muttered sharply under her breath. “You don’t want them catching you staring.” Reluctantly, I tore my eyes away and poked at the food on my tray.

Beckett stands so quickly his chair scrapes backward. “No fucking way.” I recognize him too. Older now. Different haircut. But the face is unmistakable. The person taking pictures of my humiliation freshman year wasn’t Amber. It wasn’t Bryce. It wasn’t Jamie. It was Tyler. Beckett’s cousin. And suddenly I understand why Jamie thought she was caught in the middle. Because Tyler hadn’t just known about the bullying. He had been there from the beginning.

The laughter grew louder, kids from other classes started crowding the classroom. He snapped the diary shut when I got closer and looked down at me. “Wanna know why nobody loves you? It's because everyone can smell your desperation.” “That's not true!” I yelled as tears rolled down my cheeks. I knew I was out of their league but how could he be so cruel? What's wrong with a simple crush? I didn't kill his pet! Why is he bullying me like this? Being the Alpha's sons doesn't give them the right to treat me like this! It's not right!

"Something's happened." "What's wrong? Why are you in such a rush?" Rebecca asked, reaching out to steady her hyperventilating friend. Jenny's eyes were red with suppressed anger. She shoved her phone screen into Rebecca's face. "Just look at this!" It displayed a post with an eye-catching title: [Shocking! True Colors Exposed Yet Again—Campus Bullying Caught on Video!] Embedded right below the headline was a short clip that had been maliciously edited to only show the part in the bathroom after Rebecca had gotten dressed—specifically, the moment she dealt with Beatrice.

I pull out a summery sundress, but Ellie whistles dramatically, making me second-guess myself. “Cute,” she says, grinning. “But maybe tone it down if you’re trying to avoid attention.” I groan and grab a green turtleneck instead, slipping it on and pairing it with jeans. “Better?” She shrugs. “Eh, you do you. Just don’t let them get to you, okay?” Her words echo in my mind as I head out the door and into the chaos of campus life. I wish it was that easy, really. But in a big place like college, being bullied doesn't feel like the typical highschool bullying...it's like...a higher grade.
