"Love me or hate me, both are in my favor. If you love me, I will always be in your heart, and if you hate me, I will be in your mind."

I was deep in conversation with Clara when, suddenly, a hush fell over the room. Soon after, whispers of the girls filled the air "Oh my god, he's here", "I wish he was my boyfriend", "Damn he's so hot", "I wish I could just kiss him once". Out of curiosity my head turned towards the source of their admiration and my eyes fell on a well built tall guy who was entering the class with two other guys on his trail. I'll not lie he was devilishly handsome. His perfectly styled jet black hair and piercing eyes were giving his beauty a dark edge. He exuded of power, wealth and authority. Even I couldn't help staring at him.

"He's handsome. Isn't he??" Clara teased, breaking me out of my trance.

"Y-yeah." I stammered, my face turning red. I was embarrassed that Clara caught me staring at him.

"He is Mark Winston, the most popular student in this college. Almost every girl here is infatuated with him, willing to do anything to get his attention. His father is a billionaire. They own a big share of this college. He is immensely arrogant too. He makes everyone follow his orders. Most of the boys in this college are his minions except for his best friend Chase Parker. You can say he rules this college. No one dares to cross him" Clara explained to me.

"Believe me. I'm never gonna be another one of his followers" I said firmly.

"That's good but please don't ever try to mess with him. He's very powerful and dangerous." she warned me.

"Don't worry he's the kind I detest the most. I hate arrogant people. He's the last person whom I would consider making any kind of contact with unless it is to beat the pulp out of him" I replied with confidence. I was never a person to be charmed by looks or money, instead I preferred people with kind and humble hearts just like Clara.

"Forgive me," the meek voice of a nerd guy caught our attention.

"You bastard, how dare you?" Mark said angrily grabbing his collar giving him a death glare.

His two minions muttered something to the nerd guy that probably looked like a warning. The poor guy looked petrified.

"I-I am sorry" He stammered nervously.

Whole class started laughing and making fun of him. That was the moment when my blood started boiling. How pathetic are these people laughing at a helpless person?

"What an asshole. That Mark Winston is such a jerk for bullying these poor students. Who the hell he think he is? I'm not gonna just sit and watch" I said angrily to Clara. As I was about to stand up, ready to protest, Clara placed her hand on my shoulder, stopping me.

"He's very dangerous Andy. He'll ruin you completely. Please don't," She pleaded.

I inhaled deeply and buried all the anger inside me. My conscience nagged me for acting like a coward.

"You Mark-asshole-Winston if you dare to bully any innocent student in front of me ever again, I swear I'll teach you a lesson you'll regret. This is the first and the last time of me keeping my mouth shut like cowards" I promised to myself.
