Once Humiliated, Now Wanted

Boss b***h

KILLIAN

Listening to the news always got on my bad side of the day’s mood. Another criminal report and homicide. Hell!

I wonder what Cali's detectives and officers were doing. What a nice way for the dear reporters to say goodnight to citizens like us.

‘Those newscasters and journalists deserve some ass-whooping’ I concluded to myself as I switched off the TV.

“You should watch the news sometime, Killian” my dad yelled from his desk and I rolled my eyes.

“Not today Dad, or I’ll just go rehearse a perfect way to get involved in homicide for a good contribution to the reporters and journalists” I replied without blinking.

News isn’t my thing. I’d rather watch p**n for the whole day than sit to read or watch news.

Sometimes, I just hate the weekends, because Dad always had the knack for making things pathetic for me during weekends. He piles loads of work while I miss my chance to spend the whole day f*****g and clubbing.

I entered my room, locking the door behind me as I picked up Vera’s call. My girlfriend, or let me say my favorite s*x toy. I don’t do love, so calling you my girlfriend just makes you one of my favorite f**k mates.

She takes our relationship in a different light thereby making her act so full of herself and possessive of me in school but I don’t give a damn.

“Hey Vee, what’s up?” I said over the phone.

“Take a quick guess about where I am right now,” Vera said seductively and no one needed to explain to me before I knew she was already in this mansion.

Such a daring behavior before my father’s eyes! But luckily for her, he likes her to some extent so she had no problem coming to see me at the mansion during weekends.

When I said 'likes her', I meant he likes her because she passed as a girlfriend candidate that my father had always wanted for me.

'A girl from a wealthy family and a good educational background'

My mom doesn’t just like her, she loves her. It didn’t surprise me to see that though. Mother had always cared about looks, wealth, and feistiness. Vera has all of that but they never for once realized that I didn’t plan on making anyone my girlfriend.

I didn’t believe in Love but I also won’t end up with a blind date or contracted girlfriend!

I’d rather spend the rest of my life f*****g around!

ESMERALDA

"You're five minutes late for school, Esmeralda. This is your first day!" Grandma yelled at me and I quickly placed my glasses in their right position.

I bolted out of the room, looking as neat as I could with my backpack strapped behind me.

"Bye, Grandma!" I murmured aloud and walked out without having breakfast. I didn't need it though. I should try my best to keep myself from eating too much.

I didn't mean to stop myself from eating junk food though. I can't possibly stop myself from relying on junk for a brighter mood. It's probably part of what led to my abnormally chubby build.

I caught the early bus and finally arrived at Locci High School.

"Wow!" I seethed as I glanced up at the building for a minute or two before finding my way to the administration office and classroom.

Even the ulterior parts of Locci High were heaven, it made me wonder what the interior view would look like.

The admission officer handed my tag to me and I made my way to my classroom.

'Finally! I'm right here at Locci High.

Esmeralda Colters

Third class candidate

Grade 9

I kept staring at my tag that I mistakenly bumped into someone in front of me. Her books fell in the process and I quickly squatted to bring it up for her.

She smiled and muttered a 'thanks' in appreciation as she walked away.

Whoa, did I just get a smile and a 'thanks' from the first person I bumped into? I just made a good first impression at Locci High!

I finally got the right class and I went in. I greeted the teacher and she introduced me as a new transfer student.

"Please introduce yourself," the teacher said and I nodded once without looking up.

'I'm Esmeralda Colters. I hope we get along well' I mumbled with a little smile before finding somewhere to sit.

I had to sit at the empty desk in the third row but the girl beside the desk suddenly placed her bag on the chair.

I looked up at her and she grinned wickedly, shooting glares of irritation at me. I shrugged off the feeling of hurt that settled in my guts.

"Get it together, Esme, we're used to this" my subconsciousness muttered and I nodded once before heading to the seat behind.

This seat was meant for me. Alone! and Isolated, maybe it was a good thing I became this way. I never fancied socialism but that doesn't mean I felt so cool about being criticized in public and right to my face.

I was never a brilliant student to begin with so attending classes was always a puzzle to my little brain. I tend to miss classes a lot but this was Locci High! I needed to put in my best to be here just as I had done before taking the entrance exam.

"Miss Vera Diego, is something wrong over there?" The teacher asked from the front desk.

"Well, I can't say No. I'm just feeling a little uncomfortable because the class is taking forever!" the Vera girl replied and the teacher nodded once.

"I'm sorry if you feel that way, let's all call it a day" the teacher replied and walked out of the class.

Whoa!

Just like that? I mean… the teacher walked out because one student was feeling uncomfortable in class?

I was dumbstruck and I couldn't help but steal a glance at that Vera of a girl.

She flaunts her hair seductively as if trying to get the attention she already had. Her skirt was extremely short and I began to wonder what type of parent would allow their children to go out so unclad.

Her shirt was completely fitting and the first three buttons were loosened, revealing a little of her skin beneath.

Her sharp jawline and lips registered the true meaning of arrogance and I figured one thing. She was either the queen of the school or her second in command.

"Hey, Ugly duckling!" I suddenly heard from Vera's direction but I was so engrossed in my thoughts that I didn't quickly get that she was referring to me.

"Is she deaf or what?" another voice said aloud and I glanced up to see who had finally gotten into their shoes.

It didn't take me two minutes before I got reminded of how ugly I looked, and that whoever had gotten into the shoes of hell was me!

"How dare you ignore Vera when she called you? Are you so interested in seeing how judgemental she might be after what you just saw?" One girl beside her replied and I blinked, not realizing how cornered I was at that moment.

"Girls, let the ugly duckling be," Vera said calmly, her eyes fixed on me as she walked towards me like a Korean giseng supervisor.

Her eyes did a thorough belittlement down my whole body before finally settling on my face. She sat on my desk, facing me squarely with her dolled-up lips parted as she stared into my eyes.

She blinked twice and glanced away for a while, making me wonder what she had seen on my face that made her react that way.

When she faced me back, all I could see was complete anger, hatred, and another feeling I couldn't discern.

I winced painfully as she gripped my hair tightly, threatening to pull my hair out if her hands remained there for long.

"Listen carefully, ugly duckling. I own this school, I'm the one and only queen of Locci High and you saw the way that teacher had left with just a word from me. That signifies how fast I could destroy you completely with just a word from me"

"You had better try your best to avoid me and have nothing to do with me or you'll regret ever attending Locci High," she said without letting go of my hair and I nodded quickly.

"Understood?" She asked silently and I tried shaking my head but it only increased the pressure of her hands on my hair.

"Are we clear, b***h!" She yelled, stepping on my foot with her heels causing me to shriek in pain.

"Yes! Yes, I understand" I replied in tears.
