Chapter four


    Elena’s pov


    If I ever had superpowers, I’d obliterate the rm and its inventor. Izily got out of bed and stretched my arms, hearing a satisfying little snap in my lower bones.


    Today was yet another terrible day for school. When I nced at the clock, I realized I was fifteen minuteste! How did I not even hear the rm going off multiple times while I kept hitting snooze?


    In a rush, I frantically rummaged through my bag only to find out that I had Financial Statistics today, one of the most dreaded subjects at Dreamville High School.


    Right now, I have two options: either skip school and crawl back into bed for some beauty sleep or go to ss. Even though the first option sounded tempting, I knew I had to choose thetter if I wanted to go to college.


    Yeah, going to college and getting a good job has always been my dream too. I never nned on bing a stri*pper. But because of my family’s situation, I had no choice but to find a job to survive.


    I zoomed into the bathroom like a superhero from DCics, and yeah, I’m a DC fan too!


    Apologies to the Marvel Universe!


    I didn’t waste any time. I quickly sshed water on my body and brushed my teeth. Without even looking at my face, I hurried out of the shower and rushed to find something to wear. It was a total race against time!


    After battling with my inner thoughts, I made up my mind and opted for a sleek all-ck ensemble-a ck top paired with ck pants. It felt like the right choice for the day.


    I hurriedly left the room to locate my mother, only to discover her in an inebriated state on the couch.


    It didn’te as a surprise, as I should have anticipated her early morning drinking habits.


    “I wondered why a part of me yesterday wanted to believe her and the false words she said to me” I scoffed.


    My family was truly awful, but I won’t let their nonsense hinder me from reaching my goals.


    I nced at the time and realized I had a mere five minutes left before ss began. ” I prayed in my mind that the teacher shouldn’t have started teaching before I got to ss.”


    Sprinting down the road, desperately hoping to find a taxi, I spotted a ck car parked on the side. Peering through the windshield, I recognized Mac’s friend behind the wheel. Despite not recalling his name, I hopped into the car without hesitation.


    “I don’t get why I offered you a ride, and I hope you can keep it down because I hate distractions while driving.” Mac’s friend said. I should’ve expected that this guy would be just as unpleasant as Mac.


    I stayed silent until we arrived at Dreamville, and as soon as he parked the car, I quickly got out without saying goodbye.


    No need to beat yourself up, but he had iting for being rude. It’s just fair retaliation.


    *************


    I sneaked through the hallway, praying I wouldn’t end up with detention since I was only two minuteste.


    As I swung open the door to my ss, my hope was shattered as Mrs. Tinsley had already started teaching the students.


    “Hey youngdy, did you not realize the consequences of arrivingte to my ss?”


    I stood my ground, brushing off the smug nces from my ssmates, while she questioned me.


    “Yes, ma’am, and I am sorry foringte to ss, I got stuck up with a couple of things at home”, I lied through my teeth.


    It was incredible to say that she was at least in a good mood when she said, “Okay, then you can go have your seat.”. If it had been her evil days, I would have had to go to detention.


    The fact that I ran into her today in a cheerful mood was fortunate, however.


    As I made my way to my seat, I was taken aback to find someone upying my seat. He seemedpletely engrossed in Mrs. Tinsley’s lecture, disregarding my inquiry.


    Youngdy, do you wish to get detention?; “No way, I quickly shook my head when she asked if I wanted detention.”Material ? N?velDrama.Org.


    “Alright, find a seat and get your butt down,” she said. As I looked for a seat, I couldn’t help but wonder if her swearing was a good thing.


    The ss continued, but I didn’t have the time to listen to her.


    I’ve already studied this topic, so there’s no need to go through it again!


    I couldn’t believe it when I saw this new guy sitting in my seat.


    Who was he? and why did he choose my spot to getfy? I said myself.


    I waited patiently for the end of lunch before reiming my seat from him.


    I looked through the students to see if Mac had shown up. Not that I gave a fu*k. I didn’t want to interact with him at all.


    Just being without him today made me happy.


    Lunch came faster than I had expected, and I didn’t waste time going out to the cafeteria to grab some cheeseburgers and dig into them.


    While I was eating my lunch, I felt someonee behind me and grab my food out of my hand.


    I turned around to see it was none other than the douchebag himself, my bully Mac.


    He had this good-looking feature today, and for someone like him, he sure knows how to look clean and smell nice too.


    Okay, Elena, calm down, get your self together, and realize that he just grabbed your meal and is digging into it; I said inwardly to myself as My mind scolded me, and that was when I came back to my senses.


    “Pardon me, but you are eating my meal” I made it known to him, but he simply turned a blind ear to what I had to say and continued with the food.


    I couldn’t do anything about it, he was my bully, and if I dared stand up to challenge him, he could simply beat the crap out of me.


    The wise decision was to simply go on and leave him alone, and that was exactly what I did. I just stood up and left him to finish the food.


    And I hoped inwardly that he choked while eating my food.
