Josephine

Three days passed since I received the ticket to the hell. And as I imagined, my school life has turned into nothing but a nightmare to say the least.

Day 1, my desk disappeared from my classroom, only to be found in the sweet garbage site.

Day 2, my locker was crowded with bunch of snakes. I, being an Aussie, am not afraid of the animal itself but still got terrified. I mean, who won't be when their locker is suddenly filled with reptiles??

Day 3, my classmates threw eggs in the middle of a class all at once. When I yelled at them to stop, I was the one who was scolded by the teacher for making a noise.

Now is the morning of day 4 and I'm thrilled as hell to find out what shit will be waiting for me today. First thing first, I'm greeted by death glares from the entire school from the very moment my feet intrude the school property as usual. Feeling a slight sting in my heart, this is still tolerable because of this fucking habitation.

When I was climbing up the stairs, I saw Lili walking on the corridor alone. Lili is the only one who doesn't bully me right now and I even consider her as my friend. So I never have a second thought before calling her name, making her head turn to me.

Her next move, however, was not what I expected. She practically ran for the opposite direction from me and disappeared from my sight. I feel the last string that managed to keep me from collapse breaks inside my heart. My vision uncontrollably begins to blur but I understand her reaction. She has a number of chances she might be caught in trouble if she sticks with me. She has no choice, in my opinion. It's sad yet I have no right to blame her.

Out of nowhere, I feel cold water splashed all over my head from behind before an annoying, bitchy voice sounds.
"Looks like some was abandoned by her only friend in the end. You were an eyesore from the very beginning. You finally realized you don't belong here, didn't you? Get the hell out of our school, you little poor unholy bitch!"
Looking back I see three mean girls standing in line and laughing at me. China An McLain, Sarah Jeffery, and Dove Cameron. Yeah, they are the worst bitches in my class.

Why? Why do I have to suffer like this?
I can't stay collected anymore and sprint to my secret spot as fast as I can.

A few tears couldn't wait to fall until I open the emergency door. I quickly close it and slide my back on it to the ground. Now tears are freely flooding from my red eyes as sobs escape from my closed throat.

Was it wrong to protect Lili the other day? Suddenly my subconscious questions me.
Hell no! How could it be bad to defend someone? I know it was the right thing to do. But being on the edge of a cliff, I selfishly wish I hadn't stood up for her like that. I'm such a terrible person, aren't I? The speed of tears fastens as I hate myself more than anytime in my life this exact moment. It feels like I'm trapped in a small box with no exit.

"S...stop torturing me, would you?"
An unfamiliar male voice utters a familiar line from somewhere near me. It is the words I said when I confronted with that Lucifer I my school 4 days ago. While I'm confused, the voice continues,

"Would you stop screaming here to release your stress?"
In the blurry vision of mine, I see a handsome blond boy staring at me from a few steps under.

It's none other than Ross Lynch.

"I knew it was you, Jo."
He shortens our distance whilst stating.

Wait, how does he know I screamed every time shitty things happened here? .... Oh shit! Was he here every time?
The realization halts my tears in humiliation. This is just unbelievable!

"Y... you were here all the time?"
I timidly ask him.
He doesn't say anything but nods his head once with a straight face.
"Unfortunately, this fire escape is mine."
He says.
"...Ok?"
I have no idea where this conversation is heading.
"I like it here because no one comes around. So I don't want to be disturbed by you."

Not only do I lost my self-respect but also my only safe place. Did I wander in Les Misérables the musical? I bet I did. Dropping my gaze onto the floor, I slowly stand up and start to leave.

Then, to my surprise, he grabs my wrist and pulls me back to where I sit a few seconds ago.
"But I guess you need it more than me now. I'll borrow it, Jo."
He smiles a tiny smile and walks into the other side of the door.

In my Les Misérables day, one thing was the exception, I guess. I feel my sore heart got slightly healed by his small kindness.

It might be just my stupid imagination, but I think my heart skipped when his warm hand wrapped my wrist...

Yeah, it must be my imagination.

Hero

It's been 4 fucking days since I gave her a red notice. As I ordered my servants, they did much worse shits than usual to her. Nevertheless, she's still in my empire and acts like nothing is wrong. I even followed her to her home to check if she was mentally damaged but she appeared totally fine.

What the fuck is wrong with her? Is her mental made of diamond or something? How is it possible for her to not leave after all those shits she received?
I run my fingers through my hair in frustration. She just haunts my thoughts 24 hours and even deprives my sleep. This is humiliating to think like I am not capable of controlling a single bitch while I'll have to rule the whole world sooner or later.

Josephine Langford.

Even recalling her name in my head enlarges the furious fire inside me. I need to get rid of that bitch now. Otherwise, I'll lose my fucking mind!

"Hey, Jacob!"
I summon the right hand of my subordinates.
"Do whatever you need to vanish her from this school today. I don't give a shit if you do things that are against your moral."
I smirk at him as he nods his head in agreement.

I'll finally be able to sleep like a baby tonight.

Thank you for reading!
So, Josephine is in a critical situation now.
What do you think will happen next? Stay tuned ;)
P.S.
I introduced those three women from Descendants family because I love that series!
Also, Hero is mean in this story, I do know he's completely opposite to this character. So don't get me wrong! I love Hero so much❤️
