"Well, let's see if Jessica will come at you later. If she really does, then I will help you."                                                                                         

Perfect, so this would be the best time to test if my previous life's experience and this current one would fit.

I also wanted to see if Kristen would stand up against me because if she did, that meant I was qualified as her weak pet, just like Cerise.

Thus, time passed until recess came. Kristen and I walked to the cafeteria, and I sat in the same position like I did back then. I sat alone on the third row of the farthest left seat, eating a simple lunch I made before going to school.

Meanwhile, Kristen was sitting at another table, watching me closely while eating some snacks. Some people approached and sit with her, though she ignored them most of the time. She seemed eager to be the guardian angel that would be the spotlight here.

I kept checking my watch, then counting every second before the scene happened.

Five… four… three… two…

SLAM!

Everyone, including me, looked in the direction of the cafeteria door. A girl stood at the door. She was quite tall, probably around 5'7", she had wavy blonde hair, a sharp gaze, wearing a long-sleeved bright blue crop top with high-waisted jeans.

Then a girl followed her from behind, wearing a similar style but less splendid.

There you go, two bitches I hated the most in this school. The ones who gave me misery in my life, Jessica and Cindy.

Jessica and Cindy stood at the door, and everyone's eyes were at them. Silence permeated the air as everyone was waiting for the queen to open her mouth.

Jessica's eyes screened the cafeteria, and then she asked loudly, "Which one of you is Emmelyn Jones?"

…

Nobody dared to raise their hand or make a noise. Thus, I had to play my role. I raised my hand hesitatingly and replied, "M—My name is Emmelyn Jones."

Jessica's eyes were like a lioness ready to pounce anyone. She stomped the floor as she walked towards me. She slammed the table and yelled, "You bitch! How dare you calling me that in front of him?! You're just a new kid, and you dare to make trouble with me!!"

I finally confirmed this world was completely the same as my previous one because I still remembered Jessica's exact words when he bullied me for the first time.

I blinked full of confusion and fear, though it was just an act now. But back then, these emotions were real. I was terrified because I didn't know this girl, and she brought her friend.

Jessica saw me not responding, then she kicked the seat until I slumped on the ground, grimacing in pain, "Ouch…."

Jessica then kicked my arm twice before yelling at me, "You cheap bitch! Don't you dare to mess around with me! You dare to say that kind of crap to him!!"

I looked around, and everyone stared at me as if staring at an entertainment, a clown doing her trick.

Then I stared at Kristen with pitiful eyes. Tears were already pooling in my eyes, begging her to help me.

Really, I could just avoid Jessica today and go on with my plan, or I could just do it the primitive way and stabbed this bitch while she wasn't looking.

But I was always the one who liked to heighten the pain until my enemy breaks down. A simple punch wouldn't break her down, so I had to play with Jessica in a long game.

And my target right now is Kristen. I wanted her to stand up and protect me like a fake guardian angel that would protect me. Wasn't that the reputation she wanted to keep?

I kept staring at Kristen, and she finally stood up from her seat and walked in my direction. Jessica and Cindy hadn't realized Kristen's presence. She was still screaming at me with all her malicious accusations that I never did.

I didn't even know what she was spouting about.

Kristen barged in and stood between Jessica and me, "Hold on there, Jess. What's the problem? You know that she is new here, right?"

Kristen came, and everyone's attention was immediately shifted from me to Kristen and Jessica.

Jessica clenched her fist, "That bitch is gossiping behind my back and slandering me in front of him!"

"Who's him?" Kristen asked. "Is it someone so important that you have to beat her like this?"

"That's not the problem!" Jessica pointed at me. "She dares to slander me! A new kid dare to talk shit about me!"

Jessica wanted to punch me again, but Kristen held her hand. With her gentle smile and angelic voice, she tried to calm the situation down, "You're wasting too much energy on her. She's nothing compared to you, right?"
