Chapter 9 - Chapter 9:Betty

Sena sat on her desk and open the small bag, she took out a chocolate cake pack in a small transparent plastic box and a pineapple juice in a plastic bottle.

Among the pairs and trios of classmates that surround her, she looked lonely compared to others, she had no one to talk to and to laugh with.

Moreover, among the classmates that surround her, most are her close friends but for the sake of everyone's safety, they should pretend to be distant and indifferent to each other.

As she stood up on her desk and preparing to leave the room, suddenly Karen appeared and walked to her and said with a mocking smile, "Look at you, all alone, your friend's avoided you because you are a rat, a dirty rat."

"You're still alive, I thought you died, with all the makeup in your face, it's so thick that it's perfect for a corpse like you." Sena replied with a smile and as the two were bickering with each other, Sena close friends watched in worry.

Karen smiled despite Sena's provocative words, however deep inside, she was fuming with anger and to get back at Sena.

She planned to utter some threatening words to scare her and extinguish Sena fighting spirit, with a strut like a peacock, she said with a smirk."Little old lady got some fire but be careful what if it burned you instead." Then, she left without looking back, but before she could step out of the door.

Sena countered back at her and said, "No matter how many times you apply makeup, its still can't hide your rotting flesh." Hearing those words, Karen did not stop nor look back at Sena but just clenched her fist in anger and vowed to get revenge as soon as possible.

Hours passed by...

In the afternoon class schedule, the bell rang for the third time.

Sena looked at the scenery outside and thought in a dazed.

It's three in the afternoon, I wonder how they are doing in the gymnasium? It's been an hour since the training started. Just like some of my friends and classmates here, although our hair and eyes changed, it doesn't mean we have superpowers, so we're not included in the training program. There are also some classmates who haven't changed their physical features but have superpowers similar to my mother, who retained her black hair and eyes and currently, they have the biggest percentage.

A few minutes later....

Sena close friend walked to her and said, "Don't go to the bathroom, I heard they are waiting for you there."

Sena never replied to her words but the girl still smiled and walked towards her seat.

Hours passed by, and the sun slowly set while the moon gradually rose above the clouds.

In an abandoned warehouse, a group of mean looking girls gather, encircling a kneeling girl with injuries all over her body.

"Why did you tell her? Betty. You are meddling in my business. You can just stay out of this situation, if you do not interfere in the first place however your sense of justice pushes you through, so this is my prize for you, a busybody." Karen looked at Betty with annoyance and anger.

"As her friend, I will protect her. You can't stop me from looking out for her, Karen. I'm not going to stand by and watch you hurt her." Betty said with determination.

Hearing her words, Karen just rolled her eyes and, with her arms crossed, she replied sarcasticly, "Wow, A superhero! I'm shaking with admiration, Betty. What's your next move, superhero?".

Seeing Betty silence, Karen smiled at her and said, "Just like her, You're all nothing but an ant that I could easily destroy."

Hearing Karen words, Betty couldn't help but fight back even though she knew it would lead to something even more tragic.

"You're giving us too much credit, Karen.We are not not even an ant, we're the dirt you can't crush."

"Also, you're jealous of her, that's why, you all do these things. Admit it Karen, you're jealous because you're not as good as Sena. Moreover, to have a reason to harm her, you spread to everyone, that you felt, your father never cared about you as much as he cared about Sena but I know, you're well aware that your father cares so much about you. You're just using this as one of your excuses to destroy her because you're jealous about everything she has. You're jealous that your beloved crush admitted he likes Sena. Despite your vicious scheme, you couldn't cover her shine, she's destined to be in the spot light. Your jealousy has made you look uglier than a corpse."

"You!" Karen said angrily and with all her might, she stomped Betty's face with her right foot. Due to the impact, Betty fell to the ground.

Karen's eyes gleamed with pride and indifference as she gazed unsympathetically at Betty's fallen figure.

In the next moment, Karen's lips curled into a sinister grin as she ordered her lackeys with an imperious air of a queen. "Girls, let's show our little guest, Miss Betty, what's the prize for being nosy in someone else's business."

Ten minutes later....

"Let's stop, my father is looking for me, let's wrap this up and go home." Karen said as she looked at the messages on her phone.

The group of mean looking girls leave altogether leaving Betty laying on the ground with injuries wrapped in her body.

On the ground, Betty cried in despair but she never regretted her decision. Instead, she cried for how powerless and hopeless their situation is. If witches are real, she's willing to trade anything, no matter the cost, just for vengeance against Karen.

Then a mysterious figure covered in black appeared at Betty sight.

"Who are you?" She asked with fear.

"Do you want revenge." The mysterious figure said.

A man's voice. She thought and replied with determination, "Yes, I want them to pay!"

The mysterious figure said nothing and disappeared.

WEE-oo-WEE-oo

The loud noise created by the police and ambulance car outside, attracted Betty who is nearly unconscious.

Seeing the police walking towards her, accompanied with medics, she fainted completely.

The next day, inside the classroom of class amethyst.

Near the door, as usual, a group of 6- 8 girls gathered for a morning gossip.

Stella sat on the chair like a queen bee, her yellow hair styled in a ponytail and her piercing yellow eyes gleaming with confidence.
