Saving the Villain-Chapter 238 The Story Of Olivia
It all started when this young lady named Olivia confronted one of the delinquents. Bullying in this school was already a common thing. After all, the number of delinquents had grown over the years and was the very reason this school was worse than Winter Highschool.
Olivia, a beautiful and graceful young student from the city, moved here when her family was struggling financially. According to her, she didn't mind transferring to this school to lessen the burden on her family. Little did she know, her optimistic attitude and her inability to adjust to what was common in this school were what would lead her to this nightmare.
Although Olivia had learned to focus on her study and turn a blind eye to what was going on around her, there was a point in her life she couldn't stomach it anymore. So, while another student was being bullied inside their room; getting beaten up literally in the corner of their classroom just because he bought the wrong bread, Olivia exploded.
It wasn't like it was just guys who were the bullies. In this school, girls and boys could be bullies. Either join them and be their lackey or live as silently as a dead mouse to make it to graduation. Olivia chose none of the above.
Olivia stood up to them fearlessly, telling them she would make a report. Obviously, these young, fearless bullies simply laughed at her face and taunted her to do as she pleased. But when Olivia did, and the teacher scolded these delinquents, she ended up paying for the price she couldn't afford.
The student Olivia helped got a better life as the bullies shifted their attention to her. The former wouldn't even look at Olivia while some girls mocked and bully her inside the classroom. There were times they would cut her hair without consent, or just put trash on her desk.
The bullying didn't just end there. Because when this biggest bully in school thought she has a nice face, he let his lackeys do the unimaginable to her.
That was how that clip came into existence.
When they had that clip, Olivia had no more option but to obey them. Whoever it was and wherever they wanted, she would keep quiet.
Every single day of Olivia's life, she was scared. She didn't even want to go to school anymore, but she had no choice. Whenever she would skip school, a message with that clip attached to it would slide into her inbox, telling her to come to school.
She already knew what they needed then. Some guys just wanted to relieve themselves, and it didn't matter if she was sick, if she was going crazy, for as long as they relieve themselves. It was rather silly how their girlfriends, who were also bullies, had come to a conclusion Olivia was a vixen, sleeping with just anyone, when in fact, she was a victim.
Olivia had no one to turn to. Girls would beat her up, guys would just take turns with her. Her family was already struggling. No wonder she just wanted to end it. It was too much for one person to bear.
Cosette had already guessed what this young lady had been going through after watching the clip weeks ago. There were even times that clip would haunt her. It would haunt anyone who had a conscience.
"The principal had gathered the students to address the bullying issue." Olivia's voice broke for the umpteenth time. "He said they received a report but kept the details a secret. Still, he warned everyone that once the investigation is over, those who were proven involved will surely pay for the price." f𝗿e𝙚𝘸e𝐛𝚗𝐨𝙫𝚎𝙡.c𝒐𝐦
"So he really received it, huh?" Cosette furrowed her brows. At this point, Olivia already knows it was Cosette who sent the anonymous report to the school principal. "What happened, then? Isn't that good news?"
Olivia shook her head. "I'm scared." She squeezed Cosette's hand tightly.
"They warned me that if I talked, they would go to my house and let my dad see what they were doing to me. They would hurt my dad and mom." Olivia shook her head even more profusely as she panicked. "I can't let that happen."
"You denied it?" Cosette asked, her heart sinking the more she realized how traumatized Olivia was at this point.
"I told the principal it wasn't me," she confessed, almost choking with her own breathing. "He asked me again and again, and I told him again and again, I am okay."
"But you're not okay."
"I am okay." Olivia nodded at her reassuringly, but her shaking eyes said otherwise. "I appreciate that you were concerned about me, but seriously, it's just two more years. I will graduate then." 𝐟𝐫𝗲𝙚w𝚎𝐛𝙣𝐨𝙫𝘦𝗹.c૦m
"Two more years…?" Cosette opened and closed her mouth, looking at Olivia incredulously as if the latter had forgotten she was just about to jump out of the winder from the third floor. "Olivia, are you saying you can endure this for two more years when just nearly jump out of the window an hour ago?"
Olivia choked until her neck turned taut.
"I can't, Cosette." Olivia squeezed Cosette's hand until her hand turned white, while Cosette's hand turned red. "I can't tell the police, and even if they get expelled, they know where I live. "
Her face contorted as she looked into her eyes. "I… don't know anymore. I'm going crazy."
"Oli…" Cosette embraced her once again, her heart pounding from equal anger and sympathy. "... I'm sorry this happened to you."
"What do I do? I'm scared… they'll kill me if they found out."
"I…" Cosette trailed off, realizing this wasn't the time to convince Olivia to fight and stay strong. Olivia was already consumed with her fears and trauma. Hence, she could only rub her back to calm her down once again.
Meanwhile, outside the classroom, Maxen, Luke, and Remo were leaning against the wall. They had returned minutes ago and heard almost everything.
"Wow… I've never felt this angry before…" Luke whispered as he cracked his knuckles, itching to throw his fist.
"Uh…" Maxen closed his eyes, stretching his neck from one side to the other. "... those motherfuckers."
Remo remained quiet, but his expression was firm. His teeth were clenched and his fist was tightly held to his side. He was not a good person, and he too was a bully, but there was a line that Remo never crossed.
"Maxen," called Remo under his breath, lifting his eyes, only to see Maxen reopen his and revealed the menace in them. "I… want to beat someone up."
Luke turned his head to Maxen, who was at arm's length beside him. "I can't sleep tonight without throwing these fists, Max."
"Me too." Maxen rocked his head as he glossed his eyes over Remo and Luke's fiery eyes. "I won't be able to sleep tonight without throwing these fists."
