“Have fun at school,” he said, calling me back.
“I’ll be late,” I said, all smiles.
He chuckled. “If anyone dares to bully you even after this, they must be courting death.”
A frown formed on my face, but I’d already gotten more relaxed. “You don’t have to sound so scary. Bye.”
He waved and got into the car.
Not until the car was out of sight did I move from my spot and drop my smile.
“Oof. That was the most awkward car ride of my life.” | gripped the strap of my bag as a small smile started to play on my lips.
“Did you just get down from that golden Rolls-Royce?” Someone suddenly approached me and asked.
“Well, yes.” I nodded with a pout. In truth, I didn’t know the name of the car. All I knew was that it was definitely luxurious and probably had some custom attributes, seeing how my phone was custom-made.
“Oh my god!” She gasped, covering her mouth before running off to rejoin her group of friends.
“Everyone is looking at me so strangely.” I wouldn’t be
bothered if it was just them, but even the other parents and

drivers had that look on their faces as I hastened my
footsteps.
“She’s the one…”
“She came out of the golden Rolls-Royce.”
“…Oh my god. Is she related to him?”
“She looks so different…”
“Like a halo…”
“She’s related to Jak-”

The murmurs were getting too much for me. The moment I noticed that I was starting to cower and run away from them, I remembered that the least I could do for myself was look them in the eye and make them look away.
So, I straightened up, belted my tie, and continued toward my class. “I’ll just tune out all the whispers,” I thought to myself, and thanks to my sense of direction, I didn’t get lost.
“Good morning, Robin.” I nodded at my seatmate as I pulled out my chair.
He looked up, adjusted his square glasses, and gave me a curt nod. “Good morning, Jemaya,” he said shyly before returning to his laptop. ‘
For a moment, my heart skipped at hearing my name from him.
I wanted to ask how he knew it when I noticed him tapping out strange codes in even stranger lines on his laptop-then remembered that I had introduced myself in front of the class.

He remembered my name from just that.

And despite the fact that people in class were giving me strange looks, he was the only one who made me feel seen.
The irony made me chuckle as I sat down.
He looked like he was in his element, and we still had about ten minutes until the next class. More than enough time to read a few pages from my favorite book.
“Hey, you.”
As soon as I unzipped my bag, I heard her voice.
I thought about her a lot despite having known her for just one day. Not because I was in love-no.
I was as straight as a ruler and had proof.
But because she was the head of my bullies.
The moment I looked up and her image appeared in my line of sight, I lowered my head and almost buried my face in my bag.
Again-no, I wasn’t scared.
I was chortling into my bag. It was funny how she was almost half my size, and I’d been so scared of her. If we got into a fight and I sat on her face, she’d be gone before the fight even started.
“Are you ignoring me?” She stepped closer, her voice louder, so I looked up, biting my lips to stifle the laughter.
“I’m ignoring you, so what?” I shot back, feeling more relaxed

I’d been bullied into sitting at the back because of my figure and others complaining that I would block their view.
But now, as I looked outside the window at the beautiful view with flowers in it, I thought to myself that it was a blessing in disguise.
“You” She choked as she pointed her finger at me, and I finally let out my laughter.
“You fatty! What’s so funny?”
“N-nothing, it’s just-” I said while covering my mouth as if it would stop me from laughing harder.
Of course, it didn’t.
“You look a little constipated when you glare like that, and I can’t stop laughing,” I said, pointing at her while tapping my palm on the table. “And your red lipstick looks like you had to bite yourself to push it out.”
Even Robin, who was by my side, couldn’t hold it in.
He turned to look at the flowers, but I noticed how red his ears had gotten from trying to maintain his composure. No one else in class dared laugh, though.
So it was just me-and more strange stares.
“What?!” She was so taken aback that she stumbled
backward. Her subordinate had to hold her from falling. “How dare you talk to me like that?”
“You called me fat and said it was a fact. I’m just stating a

fact,” I shrugged innocently with a pout after managing to keep my laughter under wraps.
“God knows I needed that laugh,” I thought to myself, only to look up and see her hand descending toward my face.
Fuck!

Even if I had superpowers, I wouldn’t be able to stop it.
I geared myself up to receive the slap-and give her twice as much after. I already had my mom; I didn’t need any more bitches in my life.
“Claire, stop! She came in the Golden Rolls-Royce!”
The person who shouted those words from the corridor said them while running. She came into the class, looking breathless.
I didn’t think her announcement was anything special, but it sure had the power to make Claire’s slap change direction.
Pa!
Her slap turned to the right and sounded like thunder the moment it hit the face of the unsuspecting minion who had helped hold her up.
“Oh my god, Vice Queen!” Everyone shouted. I mean, all of Claire’s minions.
“Wait, did the Head Queen just slap her Vice Queen? Oh my god, my followers are going to love this,” the one recording from the start asked in shock as she brought her phone closer.

“Delete that right now!” The so-called Vice Queen shouted as she held her face while trying to snatch the phone at the same time.
“I share everything with my followers. They are my besties,” she said as she raised her phone above her head to keep it out of reach.
“Give it to me!” The Vice Queen, desperate to prevent her slap from going more viral than it already had, hopped on her feet and, in the process, uncovered her face-revealing the full red palm imprint that spread from the middle of her face to her
ear.
“Ahh.” There was a gasp before everyone went silent.
Even I was shocked.
If that slap had landed on my face instead… then-
I shook my head, unable to imagine it.
Claire looked between them, gave me a dirty look before running from my front. But unlike the disgusting eye roll she usually gave, this one had a hint of hesitation and retreat before she was out of sight.
The noise didn’t die down, though.
“I don’t care if you are the Royal Plastics. My followers have to see this before someone else posts it,” the IT girl with unparalleled compassion shouted as she tried to protect her phone-just as someone totally unaware of the whole commotion entered.
Oblivious or pretending to be, she pointed at the Vice Queen’

s face and shouted, “Did you get hit by a giant?”
That was when the Vice Queen’s attention shifted to something else.
“Mirror. I need a mirror!”
Her screaming was hysterical and continuously recorded on the IT girl’s phone for her Tik Tok followers.
“Arghhhh!”
A glass-shattering scream erupted from the Vice Queen before she fainted.
The commotion increased, but I noticed my seatmate take out his glasses and frown. The lens had cracked right in the middle.
“Fuck,” he cursed under his breath before putting them back
“We need to take her to the clinic! The Royal Plastics can’t be humiliated like this!” Someone from the clique of minions shouted as she ran forward.
“Oh my god, there’s blood!” More commotion.
“Can you all just shut up?!”
The Head Queen silenced them. Claire did have her power and knew how to use it. No wonder I felt so scared yesterday
How powerful, I thought to myself as I focused on taking out my novel.
“As of now, the position of Vice Queen is vacant, and anyone

who helps her up will be removed from the Plastic Royals group,” she announced before walking out of the class, leaving behind a divided set of minions.

The girl who initially ran to help the Vice Queen was the first to stand up and leave.
“No! I don’t want to be a loser royalty!” she shouted before rushing out.
“Silly,” someone from the crowd hissed before stepping out to carry the now ex-Vice Queen on his back.
Two more boys walked out and carried her to the clinic.
She suffered so much for Claire only to be left alone when she hit the ground (pun intended)
“I bet she’d pass out two more times if she knew she’d been kicked out after taking that slap,” I heard someone say as they walked past the guys carrying her.
Her voice was a little hoarse, so I looked up-and our gazes
clashed.
The moment it did, she looked away for 1… 2… 4 seconds before snapping her head back at me and then at my hands.
“Is that… is that the special edition of Ultimate Seduction by J.J. Secret?”
She barely dropped her bag before running to my side and taking the seat in front of me.
Her excitement and the pure joy in her eyes as she fanned over my favorite book made me feel like… this might not be such a bad day after all.
N
I smiled as I nodded. “Yes.”
I just had a feeling that we would be really good frien
“Are you a fan?” I asked.
“Fan? I’m a fucking stan of this author…”
