72 A messed up Fairytale (1/2)
The next few days flew by uneventfully. Two weeks passed by since that commotion in the hallway outside my classroom occured. The students have been avoiding any physical or even eye contact with me since then.
I won't complain about the fact that they are not making any big trouble but sometimes this becomes a disadvantage to me, especially during group assignments and PE classes. My classmates would always quarrel as to which team should I be included in. They take forever to finally decide a very efficient way for them to conclude my fate or should I say their fate, and that is how; ladies and gentlemen the so called drawing of lots started in my class. The unlucky winner will be this goddess' teammates.
Hooray for them. They take it as a burden but they cannot deny my brilliance, academically. In sports, I admit that I am not superb but I can be of great help-- well, that is if they just let me play. I can't believe they made me their bench warmer! Oh, I miss the old days, the times when they intentionally hit the ball hard towards my direction during volleyball and the times I hit the ball back with a bone breaking spike in return.
I wonder if they were also like this to that Ashly, who called herself Neo's childhood friend. She seems confident that no one will harass her even though she is close to Neo. Ain't the students of this school going outside the usual script that happens in novels and dramas? The one being bullied is the beautiful and smart me, while the one being looked upon is the nerd with fake eye glasses?
I know that reality is often different to what is written on books but this is unfair. They already treat me as the villain even though I haven't done anything wrong. On the other hand, the so called innocent nerd have been poisoning her fiance just so that she can live happily with her fiance's cousin? This is a messed up fairytale!!! The worst part of it all is that I never even auditioned to be a part of this cast!
One meeting with Neo and they already labeled me as the serpent who will cause their demigod chaos. They won't believe me even if I desperately yell that the true cunning fox is that nerd by his side. It is too tiring to be this beautiful at times, I don't even have a friend whom I can share all this burden with.
The only friend I have is currently missing. I can't reach his phone and when I asked his male friends especially Kyle, the student council president, he said that he also haven't seen Vincent for two weeks. He tried asking the council members but none of them have any useful news about Vincent either.
******present time******
I am currently in my family's car. Mr. Shin and I are going to the Gu's villa for a surprise visit. I honestly thought that Vincent will naturally show himself as time pass by but Fadjie bar it has already been more than a week and still not even a shadow showed up.
Neo have been sending me a long stalk of thornless red rose every morning lately while Ashly is like a human cctvcamera who have been monitoring my every move.
She shows up like a magician anywhere I go. She would magically appear then disappear like smoke. She never said or did anything to me yet soI didn't mind her at all, there have already been a lot of eyes monitoring me since I was admitted to this academy anyway, a new pair of envious eyes won't make a big difference.
