"Nobody likes a victim." Madison Chan, a Chinese sixteen-year-old girl repeats as she writes the same sentence on a dry chalkboard in Infront of her English class.
Her resentful is only accompanied by the snickering of her classmates as the through words at her long orange hair.
"Stop it," Madison yelled at her classmates.
"That board isn't going to fill itself, Ms. Chan," Brother Phillip Baxter, a 35-year-old Italian man taunted her as he sat against the back of a wall.
"Brother Baxter. Please make then stop."
"They weren't the ones who were late for class for the fifth time this month. When one of us is late, all of us are late."
Brother Phillips sat up as he dusted off a black dress part and threw his matching jacket over his pink dress shirt.
"What are our rules when it comes to tardiness, class?"
"Tardiness is a blameless decision." The class said together.
"Everyone else understands Ms. Chan." Why don't you?"
"I tried to get out of practice but Coach Lockwood."
"Oh yes. Coach Lockwood said you were causing trouble with your teammates. I get basketball can be competitive. But that knows excuse for sabotaging your team."
"I didn't sabotage anything."
"The coach says otherwise. He says you not willing to work with others. That you can't follow instructions…"
"That's not true," Madison yelled while holding back tens in her eyes.
"Listen, it's your word versus a man I've known for ten years. Guess who I'm going to believe,"
Brother Baxter's words pierced through Madison's emotions as the young girl felt her shoulders doubling in weight and her fingers twitched in frustration.
"Now finish my wall unless you want detention."
Madison turned back to the board as her classmates threw move paper and eventually pieces of garbage at her.
One of her classmates threw a juice box at her head, splattering its liquid against her as she broke down in tears while finishing the chalkboard.
"That's good enough," said Brother Baxter." "Ms. Jones. Your next."
As Madison walked to her desk, April G. Jones, a pink hair girl with light brown skin, walked up from her desk and reached for the bucket of water in her hand.
" Maybe next time, you'll keep your hands away from other people's jewelry so you wont have to clean my chalkboard,"
"But she…"
Before she could finish her sentence, a dark skin girl played with the same pearl necklace that Brother Baxter spoke about while smirking at April G in a sinister way.
Biting the tip of her lip, April G begrudged by turned around and cleaned the chalkboard that Madison wrote on.
"I'll say this. You might know how to start a fight, Ms. Jones. But by the looks of those bruises on your wrist, you don't know how to finish them."
"Maybe she should keep her hands off of other people's things." the girl said while playing with her pearls.
"Come on, Moxy. You know that isn't cool." Said Jerome Carlton, a seventeen-year-old dark skin student uttered as he turned to her.
"Neither is this."
Moxy polled out an apple and threw it at April G's head.
"Ow," The pink hair teenager screamed before clutching her head.
"You're a bitch for doing that," Jerome said.
"I'm the bitch?" Moxy asked. "You dumped me for that mixed tramp."
"That's not…"
"Hey," Brother Baxter yelled as April G ran out of the classroom out of frustration.
"Poor little mixed girl can't handle a little joke." Moxy criticized.
"That's messed up, Moxy," Jerome said.
"Ms. Jones didn't finish board. So, we're going to need our third-class delinquent to fix up her miss. Where's Ms. Violet?,"
"Here." June Violet; a sixteen-year-old Italian girl with purple hair stead up and walked to the front of the room. Pulling out a dry towel from the teacher's desk and began to clean the chalkboard.
"Clean it up, Freak." Vic Thomas, 16-year-old polish quarterback. Yelled as he threw a pudding pack at June, splattering it against her school uniform "Hey".
"That chalkboard still needs to be cleaned, young lady." Brother Baxter said.
"Didn't you see what he did to me?"
"Seeing how you harassed his girlfriend, who just so happens to be the leading cheerleader, from making practice several times, I think that more than fair.
"That's a load of crap. What does that have to do with…."
"Sigmond Ross institution isn't just an orphanage, Ms. Violet. This is an institution that will benefit greatly from our expert curriculum. That curriculum cannot perform to its highest potential if our star quarterback has to worry about his girlfriend being harassed by some hooligan.
As brother Baxter uttered those words, June looked at a blond girl sitting next to Vic.
"Veronica. Is she still bothering you?" Vic said.
Veronica bit her tongue as she recoiled at her boyfriend's question.
"Please, veronica. Tell them." June tearfully asked.
"Ms. Hash." Brother Baxter said. "Would you like to tell us something?"
Veronica nervously looked back on forth as the question wayed heavily on her consciousness.
"Babe, say something," Vic yelled.
"She's crazy. Probably because she doesn't have any friends."
"That's not…."
But before June could finish her sentence, Vic threw another pudding pack. This time tanking in her eyes as she feels to the ground.
"Quit bothering at my girlfriend, Freak."
Veronica looked away with a sigh of regret as June burst into tears much to the rest of the class's expense. With only Madison feeling sympathy for her.
As the students continued taunt June, a white cat with three circles on its forehead watched from the window outside while standing on a tree branch.
"My poor little girls," said the cat, before it teleported in a puff of smoke.
Furious of being attacked in class, April G rushed down the hallways of the Sigmond Ross institution in
hopes of finding content away from Moxy and Brother Baxter.
As the young lady ran away, a crystal ball came across her path and caused her to stumble as she
stepped on it.
Her leg snapping from the impact of her fall, April G felt her heart sinking deeper into the abyss of her
own started.
"Ms. Jones?" said a Caucasian man in his late thirty's. His back slick hair shined with the flickering lights
as he kneeled down to April G. Causing creases in his blue and black gown as he helped her to her feet.
"Dean Trask? What are you doing here?"
"I should be asking you the same thing. If I am not mistaking, the bell doesn't ring for another fifteen
minutes."
"I…. I forgot something
"Mr. Carlton." Dean Trask said. I'd hate to think Brother Baxter is scaring all of his students all of his
students out of his class."
"Just had to go to the bathroom, Sir." Jerome explained as he held up a pink card.
"Very good than. Perhaps you can escort Ms. Jones to the nurse's office on the way.
"That's fine, sir." Said April G. "I'm fine."
"By the sound of how your leg that the around, I find that hard to believe."
"I don't mind. If be wrong to let you go on your own like this." Jerome added.
"Then its settled. Please make sure Ms. Jones gets the proper guidance to the nurse's office."
"Yes, Sir."
Jerome extended has hand to April G as she reluctantly allowed him to help her up.
As the two students walked away, the dean caught a glimpse at the crystal ball that caused April G to
trip.
"It can't be" Dean Trask said as he reached for the crystal ball slowly.
But the ball vanished in a purple cloud of smoke before he could touch it.
"Impossible."
The dean expressed an ominous glare at April G as she and Jerome went on their way to the nurse's
office.
The ringing of the school bell prompt him to leave the hallway as he was soon passed by a herd of students making their way to class.
