- Lina’s POV -

I was standing before the owner of the restaurant at the office with my heart pacing badly as I knew that annoying unarmed robber had caused me problems while working.

“What really went wrong between you and the boy?” My boss asked and I explained all what happened to him and he looked worried as he stared at me.

“Oh no! That’s so bad, they did that and still insist on getting you sacked from here? When they were to even get arrested?” The man asked me in return.

“Yes sir.” I replied to him about to start crying because the pain had gotten too much.

“Those guys are really dangerous, I’ll get another shoe and bag for you, myself so you can return back to school tomorrow, I personally detest a situation where the rich oppresses the poor, it is very wicked.” he said and happiness spread all over me.

“Thank you so much sir.” I said nervously and he nodded before he then signaled for me to return back to work which I did immediately.

Wow! I got so happy and just so glad.

Those two proud boys really meant bad for me but it turned out to be something rather of an advantage to me right now.

I’m sure they won’t be expecting me in school tomorrow, Here I come.

-

It’s the following day and I was dressed in my uniform, a new expensive shoe, and a very beautiful bag. I felt proud of myself as I walked into school to see everyone licking ice cream as if they had planned about it.

“Hey, what’s going on today?” I asked a student who was also licking ice cream.

“It’s Ice cream festival, everyone in school had been anticipating a day like this, go and get your ice cream too.” The girl said licking her ice cream happily.

I smiled and walked away from her.

I don't really have any money to buy ice cream so It’s better I just find a solitary place to be, so I walked to the class and dropped my bag, so ready to go to a solitary place where I could hide till the ice cream festival is forever since I don't want an obvious question asked.

Just as I was about to leave the empty class, two boys appeared before me.

I looked up and it was those two bullies of mine.

“Who the hell got this fucked expensive shoe for you?” Scott asked with his madly sexy deep voice thrilling me.

“How is that your business?” I asked boldly and he laughed.

“You see, I like your boldness, anyways, can I get some ice cream for you?” He asked.

“Not interested please.” I replied looking away to avoid troubles.

“It’s an honor for a whole Scott to want to buy an ice cream for you, why reject?” His friend asked in between.

“I’m Stephen by the way.” He introduced himself

“Suit you well Stephen, the two of you take pleasure in oppressing the poor, not only that, you break many ladies' hearts, how good of you?” I scolded and they both exchanged glances before staring back at me.

“Well, don’t be annoyed by our past acts, we will change.” Scott said and I furrowed my eyebrows as I knew something sounded fishy.

Did he just say that word out?

“We are sorry, at least let me buy an ice cream for you, yeah?” He asked

“Go and buy it, I will be waiting for you here.” I said considering the number of crowds present at the ice cream joints who would stare at me and him.

They both looked at themselves again and sighed.

“Okay, we will be right back.” Scott said and walked out with Stephen.

I leaned on the wall in the empty class waiting for Scott and Stephen, those demons might be up to something, why am I even trusting them… I thought to myself.

After a few minutes of waiting, I was weary and I walked out of the class, just then, I saw them coming towards me with what seemed to be an ice cream in their hands.

“Hey, have it.” Scott said as he approached me with the ice cream.

“Thanks Scott.” I said with a smile as I collected it from him.

I was about to start licking it when Scott stopped me.

“Stop!” He shouted and I was forced to jerk a little then looked at him.

“Today is Ice cream festival, you can’t drink it here, take the ice cream with you to the midst of students and have fun.” He advised.

“Oh…but is that really necessary?” I asked in suspicion but full of innocence.

“Of course, it is, you don’t want to miss today’s festival, it’s always once a year, so enjoy!” he replied and I nodded in return.

I hesitated for a while then followed them to the crowds of rich students scattered across the field at the center of the school who kept talking to one another.

“Tell me more about the festival?” I asked him.

“Start licking your ice cream first, I’ll tell you.” Scott replied and I nodded to him in return.

I began to lick the ice cream, staring around happily.

My eyes start to faint all of a sudden.

I could not see people clearly; my legs are heavy and my visions are blurry

I began to feel so tipsy, like a drunken woman.

I began to stagger around and say things that I could not even Understand.

What’s going on with me? It did not seem normal.

[Scott’s POV]

Stephen and I were surprised to see her in school that day.

We planned on how to really hurt her this time, our first plan was to deceive her to follow us to the ice cream joint where we will disgrace her in front of everyone but when she insisted that we get her the ice cream instead.

So, we formulated another plan which is to drug the ice cream.

I stopped her from licking the ice cream when we were outside the class because I do not want her to start behaving like a drunken man in a place where no one will see her and make mockery of her, I needed it to happen in the public, where everyone could see her.

She foolishly followed us into the midst of the crowd.

She licked the drugged ice cream and started misbehaving in front of the crowd.

I was so happy seeing her misbehaving.

The crowds were watching her as she staggered around uttering nonsense.

We were laughing hard and so was everyone at the display of her drunkenness.

“She will learn to respect people like us next time.” Stephen said.

“I’m sure that once she recovers from her drunken state, she will sense that we did that for her and will surely begin to adore us like gods.” I said and Stephen and I busted into a boastful sarcastic laugh as we enjoyed the entertainment.
