Chapter 10 : Plan

It was 2 weeks before the June holidays. The days were not getting better; being thrown into the pit of humiliation, pain and suffering during the first quarter of my school life wasn't the type of start anybody would want.

It was also a week after I met Messier, an alter ego of mine. Messier would usually instruct me where to go to avoid trouble, where to sit in the canteen to stay clear of THEM and how to minimize our chance of getting picked on.

The gang was unusually " quiet " in the month of May. Perhaps they had too much fun torturing me in the month of February, March and April that they decided to let me go in May...or perhaps they finally matured and understood the pains I had while being the bully victim and start gave me some much needed sympathy although the chance of the latter happening was microscopically low, even safe to say, impossible. The fact that we were in the week of our mid-year examinations may have contributed a huge part.

Regardless, I still loiter the top most floor of the school during recesses and breaks. I was fortunate enough not to get caught. Most of the time I would stay back in school just to do homework at the top most floor of the school, instead of going home and still have to bear the nagging of my parents coupled with a very irritating sister.

Fast forward, to approximately 10 days before the June holidays, the gang strikes again. You can pretty much imagine the scenario by now : Me doing homework, them coming to disturb me, them dragging me to the corner of the room, them stuffing waste paper into my bag, them throwing me into the metal cupboard at the back of the class, them locking me inside the metal cupboard and me silently crying for help.

I knew, sooner or later, it would happen again anyway. Word of this has spread throughout the entire cohort that every student in my cohort shuns me. Teachers would try to keep their hands out of it and would pretend that nothing happened. After all, the reputation of the school would be tarnished if this were to be leaked out. People will get the impression of Aspire Secondary School being a " bad " school, one for the brutes. Of course, that may be the reason on why even the teachers turned their backs on me.

Nevertheless, I persevered.

" Soon ", Messier told me, " we will have our revenge. "

I hope you enjoy this chapter! It's more of a summery of what happened so far, plus an added surprise plan for the next chapter.
It also explains why I don't bother to seek the teacher's help.
Also, I have already ROUGHLY decided on how many chapters I will write/type.
It's a secret ^_^
