I Fell In Love with my Bully

Kimberly

The first thing I learnt about Greywood Academy was that people like me didn't belong here.

I had been an all A’s student right since middle school, best in everything and it didn’t stop when I got to High school.

Although things were not so smooth,especially as my mum lost her job.She has always wanted the best for me even if it means using her last savings to get it.

And me, I have always been a lucky child,getting things I wish for especially for my grades.

And this is exactly how I got the Greyhigh scholarship I had applied for last month. It was a dream come true for me and my mum.

Going to Greywood high school means rolling with the rich kids in town and probably getting connections, at least so I thought.

My mother had gotten a new job to be the housekeeper of the Grey’s mansion and in assisting her they had given me this scholarship.

“Kimberly, good things do come, but you should be careful and don’t get your hopes high,you might need to bring something in return,” my mum had said this morning as I prepared to leave for my first day of Greyhigh.

I held the Scholarship letter in my hand,my hands trembling, my anxiety was taking the better part of me, it felt like I was walking into another world. Of course this place is different from the school I went to, full of the third level in the food chain, the people there, their parents are the workers of those people in this school.

I walked through the gates and my body was trembling. I wasn’t supposed to be this nervous, I mean I earned the scholarship, in my previous school I was the confident girl, the one who doesn’t shy away from standing up for herself and for others.

At the walkway of the school, cars were parked everywhere, some students were driven in by their drivers, others came in by themselves, in my previous school not one person even owns a car and it’s just very few people that are driven to school by their parents, the cars aren’t even flashy.

I walked further into the premises, all eyes shifted to me immediately, it was as if a star had just walked into the school. Their eyes were shooting daggers at me.

“Who is she? It seems she is new?” a girl whispered beside me.

“Are you sure she is supposed to be here, she doesn’t look like one of us, can’t you see her shoes,” another girl walking with the first girl chuckled, it was more like she was mocking me.

And both of them started laughing.

What is wrong with my shoes though? This is even my best and the newest shoes from among others.

Just a few meters from that spot, I saw a group of girls walking together, they seemed very happy.

“My mum got me this new designer bag, it's worth a fortune,” she smiled,pressing her lips tightly and the other girls around her gasp in surprise.

From their look you could tell they were stinky rich. Everything they were wearing was expensive.

“Hey you, why are you staring at us,” one of them yelled.

And then I realised I had subconsciously stopped to watch them.

“ ooh, I’m sorry,” I said and started walking away.

“Hey come back here,” one of them said, pulling me by my shoulders.

“ Who are you? Are you sure you’re supposed to be here?” She snickered.

“ Of course, I’m the student that got the scholarship,” I smiled.
