Not long after, I was taken to the hospital again because Valerie had woken up.
By the time I arrived, the ward and the hallway outside were already packed.
Many students from the school were there, and so were many teachers.
When they looked at me, their eyes were filled with pure hatred.
“Beat him to death!”
As I walked forward, a beautiful girl suddenly stepped out and slapped me hard across the face.
Her reputation at school was terrible. Everyone knew it. When she had been bullied before, I was the one who helped her. After that, she chased after me relentlessly. When I rejected her, she turned against me.
“Do it for Valerie!”
Brandon Wells, a chubby kid, kicked me hard.
Brandon used to be the errand boy for the entire grade. I was the one who stopped others from bullying him. We had never even argued before, so I could not understand why he would strike me, too.
If there had to be an explanation, it was human nature.
“Look!” he probably thought. “This is Marcus, the good student, the rich kid, the handsome guy! Now I’ve beaten him, and he doesn’t even dare fight back. I’m stepping on him!”
That could be exactly what he was thinking.
