Trying to brush the mystery off of my mind, I ate dinner happily with everyone. We chatted as we ate as usual, and went back to our rooms after. All of us were busy that night with the individual things we were doing—me, writing and homework; Kaiden, developing his game; Hora, practising her video editing skills; and Crystal, watching movies and learning acting skills. Or at least that's what they told me over dinner.

Time passed by quickly and later on, I went to sleep. I was hesitant at first, thinking I might dream that nightmare again, but I toughened myself and tried to sleep. I needed energy for tomorrow. It took me a while to finally get to sleep though. Because of that, I felt sluggish the next morning.

Breakfast went on as usual and a few more moments later, we're back at school, walking towards our departments for our first class. Everything was perfectly normal and peaceful, which I was very grateful for. Deep in my heart, I wished so bad that all days of my life would be like this one. Well, that was until I came inside the classroom.

"A-Ack! H-Hi there… Senara," one of my classmates—a female one, greeted me with an awkward smile.

'HUH? That's weird. Why is she greeting me? No one dared to talk to me ever since the first day of class, after they all got punished by Kaiden for bullying me.'

"Uuuh… Hello," I greeted her back in the softest and weirdest I could have.

Bewildered by the situation, I shook my head and started walking towards my usual seat. It was then that I noticed that everyone was looking at me. Okay, that was weird times two. Why in the world were they all looking at me? What's more, they were all trying to smile at me? It was the most awkward thing ever. After all the silent treatment since day one, they would just suddenly try to be nice to me?

I sat on my usual spot beside Marie—she was already there, still confused with what's going on. I deliberated if I should ask Marie, maybe she knew something, but then she was just a new student. She just arrived on Monday which was two days ago. What would she know that I didn't?

"Good morning, Senara," Marie greeted me with a smile. At least her smile wasn't awkward.

I smiled back at her as I greeted, "Good morning to you, too."

"Hey, look at this," she said, and handed me over her laptop.

The screen was on a certain familiar website. And she pointed her finger towards an article over there. I checked it out, thinking she might be sharing some interesting writing technique, but to my surprise, it was a completely different one than what I expected.

The article read like this:

HOT TOPIC: When Karma Strikes!

Last Friday, July 2, 2010, a poor student was bullied by three of her own classmates at Building A-3, inside the female's shower room. This student was just taking a peaceful shower when suddenly, the three bullies took her clothes from the locker, wrote harsh and insulting words on her clothes, and dumped it in one of the shower rooms. When the poor student finished, the three bullies were already gone and all she found was her ruined clothes filled with hateful words. And the words written were: sl*t, wh*re, playing innocent, great pretender, white lotus, you have no talent, and your writing sucks. These words broke the heart of the poor student who did nothing but spend her days in peace at the school until this event.

Why was she targeted by the bullies? What did she do? Who are the bullies? And who is this poor student? Keep on reading to find out!

First thing you want to know about this poor student is the fact that she is the "girlfriend" of the one and only, youngest and most eligible bachelor of the East, and the most handsome and wanted boyfriend in RDIU, none other than our very own "Kaiden Ma". That's right folks! The handsome genius heir of THE Red Dragon Holdings—only the richest company in the East, in case some of you lives like a hermit and doesn't know.

This "girlfriend" of Kaiden Ma is a sweet and kind girl who only enrolled here in RDIU to pursue her dreams. But as you may all have guessed, having the title of Kaiden's "girlfriend" alone will really bring any woman trouble, no matter how kind and angelic they are. That alone is enough motivation for these "bullies" to attack her. As a matter of fact, after getting a chance to interview the bullies themselves, they admitted to the fact that they harassed her because of that simple truth.

Of course, our king won't just let her queen be bullied like that. Because of that, Kaiden hired a group of professionals to gather evidence and submit the issue to the Dean which later resulted in the expulsion of the three bullies. Not only that, they are all "banned" from entering any colleges affiliated with RDIU for the rest of their lives! And we all know that all reputable colleges in this country are affiliated with RDIU. Sucks to be them. Who would even dare bully Kaiden's girlfriend? What they did is complete foolishness! They must have thought that they wouldn't be caught. Too bad, karma—or rather Kaiden—has his own ways.

Anyway, getting back to our topic folks, who are these bullies? They are none other than "Anna, Karen, and Nina" of the Creative Writing Department, Year One. And who is this beloved girlfriend of Kaiden Ma? Her name is "Senara Lee" and is from the same department as the three bullies.

In the light of this recent event, Kaiden Ma has given his statement to everyone:

"I don't like it when people that are important to me get hurt in any way possible. And everyone knows that the Ma family is good at paying back their debts—especially me. After all, I am the Vengeful Kaiden. I always get back what people owe me. Let this be a warning to everyone not to be stupid and dare hurt anyone I care about, especially Senara. Because if they do, I'm prepared to bring hell on earth."

Along with these, the Dean and the faculty of RDIU will strictly enforce punishment to anyone who will do any form of bullying at school. Yes folks, bullying is strictly prohibited. So if you experience or see any form of bullying, don't hesitate to report immediately.

Reading that article gave me a mixture of emotions inside me. But out of everything, the words that reverberated to my heart and soul were…

"Let this be a warning to everyone not to be stupid and dare hurt anyone I care about, especially Senara. Because if they do, I'm prepared to bring hell on earth."
