Jazzlyn Valkyrie's POV
"Did you intentionally try to fail our project? How dare you?!" I looked at the three boys cornering my classmate, even grabbing him by the collar.
I immediately looked away.
I didn't want to interfere in their business, especially since I just transferred here.
"Fuck you, nerd!Make that stupid project again!" said the boy with a mouth piercing, throwing a piece of paper at the unfortunate student.
I clenched my fist.
I wanted to help him, but I also needed to protect my scholarship, especially since one of them was the son of my sponsor.
"Let him go, boys. He'll face a harder consequence."
His baritone voice, accompanied by a demonic smirk, echoed around the room.
I swallowed, intimidated by his terrifying aura.
Meet Elijah Cyclone Devond. His family is paying for my education, which is why I didn't have the courage to offend him.
Well, not until this day…
"You shouldn't do that to me, Philips."
"N-No, please! I'm begging! I'll do your project again, just spare me, please, Elijah!"
"Sorry, Philips, too late." He smirked widely.
After he said that, the next thing I knew was he punched the poor student, grabbed him by the hair, and threw him against the blackboard.
The poor student cried in pain, making me tremble.
I was speechless at what I was seeing.
H-He's indeed damn ruthless.
His friends then continued beating the student after he let go.
I frantically looked at my classmates, who were also witnessing the events, but they immediately chose to leave the classroom without saying anything.
As if they were used to this kind of scenario.
I couldn't move after witnessing everything, but I immediately flinched when he suddenly turned to me.
His deadly gaze immediately made my nerves shake in fear.
"Are you the new girl?" he quickly asked. I couldn't answer because of fear.
His friends stopped beating the student and the three of them approached me.
I swallowed again and tightly held the letter I had just written.
It's a letter for the guy from Section Two.
"Hey, Elijah is talking to you," said his friend with violet hair.
I awkwardly nodded in response to Elijah's question.
He raised his eyebrows and looked at the letter in my hand.
I was about to hide it, but he was fast. He immediately grabbed my wrist and took the letter from me.
"S-stop…" I said and tried to get the letter back from him, but his damn friends stopped me.
"Ryder…? So you like my asshole brother?" My eyes widened.
B-Brother?
H-His brother?
He smirked at me and tore up the letter I had written.
I immediately clenched my fist. He laughed when he saw that, signaled his friends to let me go, and pointed to the student they were beating.
The two went back to beating the student.
They had no mercy.
I looked at the letter he tore it up and stomped on it.
I sadly looked at him as he did what he wanted.
"Are you going to cry?" he teased me.
I couldn't stop the tears from falling because of fear, pain, and humiliation.
"Oww, she's crying!" He laughed and was about to hit me, but all I could do was close my eyes.
A few seconds passed, and I felt nothing.
I opened my eyes again, and I saw his hand in the air about to hit me, but then he laughed uncontrollably.
"You're interesting…" He grabbed my ID and looked at it. I remained shocked by his actions.
"…Valkyrie Jazzlyn Ecuesca? Hmm, nice name and glasses, haha."
As he uttered my name, that was when I knew my life would become a living hell.
