Chapter 2

The situation quickly turned chaotic. Jayla screamed at the top of her lungs, and the toad in her hand kept jumping uncontrollably. Riley, my roommate, was so scared that she screamed, too, shouting down the hallway, "Someone, help! She's bullying Jayla!"

It might have been an accident, but I accidentally squeezed the toad in my hand to death. Feeling bored and thinking Jayla had been punished enough, I took the toad from her mouth and threw it in her face. "Stay away from me! I can't stand this disgusting thing."

Jayla kept crying nonstop, and someone heard the noise and rushed in. They saw Jayla kneeling in front of me, crying, while I looked down at her coldly. "What's going on here? Are you bullying her?"

I glanced at the person who entered and calmly replied, "Are you blind? You can't even tell right from wrong, and you're accusing me of bullying her."

The person froze, completely speechless, startled by my response.

Everyone around us started whispering, but I ignored them and went back to packing my things.

My father and mother had told me when I came here not to cause trouble. But if anyone bullied me, they would step in and deal with it.

Still, I didn't want to drag them into a public scene, so I decided to spare Jayla for now.

The others eventually grew bored, and after comforting Jayla for a while, they dispersed. I finished packing and left.

What I didn't know was that they had teamed up and started spreading rumors in a live stream.

I was talking with my father and mother, who had come to visit me today, and the principal, Gerald Leach, who knew who they were, was graciously hosting them.

I walked in, and Gerald stood up. "Talia, is everything ready now?"

I nodded.

"How's everything going? If anything's bothering you, feel free to let me know."

Gerald seemed genuinely concerned. My family had invested heavily in the school, and we were almost the largest shareholders.

"It's fine," I replied, sitting next to my parents.

My parents laughed. "Who could possibly bully her? With her temper, she's the one who'd be doing the bullying, not the other way around. Talia, don't get physical with anyone. No one can handle your moves."

Everyone laughed, and I, feeling a bit bored, took out my phone. To my surprise, I ended up on a live stream, Jayla's.

She and Riley were both crying, and the entire dorm seemed like it was in chaos.

"Hello, everyone. I'm Princess of the Wolf Pack, Jayla. I just moved into my dorm today, and I can't believe I ran into a bully. She looked down on me, mocked and didn't believe my identity, and even insulted me."

Jayla cried as she spoke, "My father and mother told me to focus on my studies, and I didn't want any trouble, but I just couldn't take it anymore.

"She kicked me as soon as she arrived, and then said... she said the sable fur I'm wearing is rabbit fur! This was a gift from my father after he hunted it for me as a coming-of-age present! And she killed my golden toad!"
