Anger rose within me as I watched Hardin doing the same thing that he liked doing, bullying people.

And to make matters worse, the person that he was bullying was my friend Nadia. I hated that he had to be like that, and it pained me terribly seeing the embarrassment on Nadia's face.

The only offense Nadia had committed this time was to accidentally spill juice on Hardin's shoes. With what I was well aware of, every responsible person that is not Hardin would understand that it was a mistake, and look past it. But he was not that way.

He was vicious like a beast.

"Not just that you poured juice on me, you tried wiping it with your napkin that is as filthy as you are. Are you not stupid?" I heard Hardin yell out, and every word he uttered pierced my skin.

He was not talking to me, but I could feel what Nadia was going through at that moment.

My eyes quickly roamed through the hall, and I noticed that every other eye at the cafeteria was on Nadia. With their gazes radiating mockery.

"I am sorry. It was just, I really did not know. I just slipped..." Nadia stuttered. Sweat beads had already formed on her forehead, with her eyes getting wet. Her lips were shaking, and all I could see was someone going through a mental decline all because of that one person. Hardin.

"Just shut the fuck up!" Hardin interrupted her abruptly, "you have no right to talk while I am still talking."

Turning to his friends with the confused expression on his face, "I wonder where this school picks these set of paupers from," I heard him say with disgust in his voice.

My blood boiled within, listening to every rubbish that he was spilling. The one thing I wanted to do at that moment was to put him in his place.

Thinking that I used to have a crush on him way back in junior high caused me to cringe inwardly.

Really, he was not that way. And whenever he walked, back there at junior high, there was this positive energy that he exuded.

His black hair was still as radiant as it usually was, with his blue piercing eyes.

Undeniably, he was drop dead gorgeous.

If he was not a bully, then I could swear that I would do everything within my power just to have him.

"You disgust me, this kind of incident should not happen again. Else, I would make you use your smelling undies to wipe the floor," his voice called me out of my reverie.

That was the point at which I did not want to bear it anymore.

I expected that Nadia would put him in his place. But instead, she was crying, and muttering the words, "I am sorry."

"Even the air around me is getting messed up just from your mouth. Are you that..."

"Just shut the fuck up!" It was me this time, finally raising my voice up to Hardin. Sincerely, I had no idea what I was doing, but there was this feeling within me that I should continue.

I could feel the piercing gazes of people on my skin, with their lips apart. It was not exactly far from what I expected, as no one had ever spoken up to Hardin.

Everyone saw him as the god in the school somehow, I did too. Well before his bad attitude became so unbearing.

Asides the gazes from people that were on me, there was this one that was intense. It was from Hardin.

His blue piercing eyes definitely did a good job of announcing him.

From where I stood, I could feel the domineering aura that he exuded. As a matter of fact, he did not have to bully other people to get respect if that was what he wanted, as it was obvious that he deserved it since he had the Alpha's blood. But for some reasons known to him, he chose to be that way.

"Were you joking, or did I not hear well?" He asked with a low chuckle that escaped his lips though it did not get to his eyes.

"If you did not, then I can save you the stress of having to stretch your brain. I said that you should shut the fuck up!"

I knew my words had hit hard on him, with the way his skin colored red.

He was in rage. No one had probably spoken that way to him, and although I felt proud of myself, I was scared.

I tried my best to not show it, but inside of me, there was this war that had been waged.

Chatterings filled the cafeteria instantly, and I could hear most of what they uttered.
