Chapter 191


    I was still sobbing when Jade called. Surprised by my sniffling voice, she asked if Felix and Lc had


    bullied me again.


    Now that she brought it up, I realized that I hadn’t seen them for a long while.


    Did they have a moral epiphany and decide to stop pestering me? Good for them!


    “Luna, you dummy. When they bully you, you fight back. It’s time to stand up for yourself. You’re five–


    foot–five, and meekness doesn’t look good on you. You’re willing to endure the bullying, but I’m not. Let


    me avenge you. I’ll call Felix right away and give him an earful.”


    “Don’t, don’t. I haven’t seen them in a while. My eyes and ears appreciate the current peace, so please


    don’t provoke them.”


    Jade then wondered, “So, they aren’t trying to get your attention now? Felix can live without your


    attention, but I highly doubt Lc can do the same.”


    I had the same question too. Life was full of surprises.


    “I don’t know why they’re doing this, but I’m notining.”


    “Right, you can now enjoy your peace.”


    I’d love some peace in my life, but some people just wanted to bother me when they saw I


    was toofortable.


    It rained the whole night again. Loud stters, coupled with the howling wind, made me feel extra cold.


    I woke up expecting another gloomy and rainy day. However, I was mistaken. The sky was blue, the


    clouds were fluffy, and the weather was clear.


    Like everyone, beautiful weather was enough to make my day. I carried my books and left my


    apartment in a gleeful mood. I nned to have breakfast in the cafeteria before attending my lectures.


    As soon as I went down, I saw that the apartment building was surrounded by a mob.


    “She’s here. She’s here. Make way.”


    Someone from the group shouted, and the crowd parted to the sides. They left a small path


    1/2


    for me to navigate through.

    I was confused, but I continued my journey through the path. Many pointed their fingers at me as if I


    were some scandalous celebrity.


    My confusion cleared up when I saw that morous yet mean–faceddy.


    Matthew’s mother, Brenda, was here. She was clearly after me.


    I knew it wouldn’t end this soon. Trouble hade knocking on my door.


    I did what I was told and left Matthew. Why was Brenda here looking all confrontational?


    “Luna, how dare you show your face after what you’ve done to my son? Are all poor people as


    shameless as you?”


    She pointed at me and barked as soon as I got my bearings. Two women whom I had met back then


    were behind Brenda, watching the drama unfold. One of them was Georgina,


    Helen’s mother.


    Normally, out of respect for Matthew, I would have tolerated Brenda’s antics so long as she didn’t do


    anything outrageous.


    But today, she used me of having no shame, and she mocked my modest background.


    That was too far.


    If I didn’t fend for myself and allowed her to tarnish my reputation with unfounded usations, I would


    be shunned away by everyone at Jesselton College. I couldn’t let Brenda do that.


    Jade was right. I should stand up for myself. Otherwise, people would think I was an easy target.


    Brenda charged at me like a raging bull charging at the bullfighter. Her purple nails were about to p


    my


    face.
