My whole night was just a mess. In my dream, I saw Noah turning into a werewolf, and I woke up sweating. It's really a bad way to start a day. I have a feeling that today's not my day. But I can't take leave from school on just the second day. So, I stood up and got ready. I have to face whatever wrong is going to happen, and I will, I guess.
Today onwards, my school bus is going to pick and drop me to school. Downstairs, my dad was ready with his questions to fire at me.

"How was your day? Was it exciting? Is there any problem in new school? Have you made new friends? Are teachers good to you?"

I just gave him a fake smile in response to all his questions.
After having breakfast, I quickly went to wait for my bus because I didn't wanted to be late.
Daphne was already there in the bus. She was texting me about everything and she texted me that the Gentlemen's Club is in our bus. I don't know why, but after listening to this news, my heart started beating very fast, as if I have been waiting for this moment. I wanted to remove these thoughts from my mind, so I started thinking about something else. And I got a topic to think about : 'Joshua'. I haven't seen him after yesterday morning when he was waiting for the bus infront of my house. And he wasn't there in school too. It's already the time for the school bus. Where is he? Has the route for his house got finalized?

I jumped through my thoughts because of a sudden horn. My bus arrived.

I entered the bus finding that a lot of seats were empty

I entered the bus finding that a lot of seats were empty. Just six or seven students were there in bus.

"Good morning,  myself Vincent Van , and I am your bus driver", he greeted me.
"Good morning, myself Emily Cooper", I greeted back.

He gave me my ID through which I have to scan daily for attendance.
Daphne was sitting on the back seat where Noah and his friends were sitting. I didn't wanted to sit there , so I sat on the front seat. Daphne wanted to be seated there , but because of me, she came infront.
As soon as the bus started moving, I heard Joshua's scream , pleading to wait for him, but the bus driver just told him to wait for around 10 minutes.

"What will happen after 10 minutes?" I asked the bus driver.
"Well , if someone isn't ready at the stop before the bus came then he or she will be counted as late and so they have to wait for the late comers bus, which will reach at your home in around 10 to 15 minutes or if they want to come on their own, they can. But all the late comers are punished. So never get late."

Noah and the other boys with him sitting in the back were laughing and making fun of Joshua. Suddenly, my feelings for Noah were no more. Maybe I didn't like his behaviour. Looks cannot describe a person. He looks good but is not a good person.

After a few minutes, another stop came and two girls who were new in school just like us, entered the bus. They went to sit on the seats were Daphne was sitting before I came.

"See, everyone wants to be seated there, but you ahhhh."
Daphne was really upset and mad at me. Maybe she was expecting something interesting to happen. I just didn't wanted to explain my feelings for Noah to her because I am not sure about it too. They just keep changing like right now I am disgust by him.

Another stop came and Ari entered with a huge smile and the reason for her  smile was right behind her , 'Alan'.

"Is he your neighbour ?" Daphne asked Ari when she was getting seated right behind us.
"Yes, he is", and again she was bushing.

I turned to look at Alan's expression but he was expressionless. Ari started taking about our timetable, which was pinned on the bulletin board yesterday. The Bus had started looking full now. Another stop came and this time it was Cindy and her friends who entered.

"Now there's gonna be a huge drama. You both just stay silent", Ari told us glancing towards seats where those two girls were sitting.

Cindy went there and slapped one of them. Almost the whole bus went quite.
"What the hell are you doing?" that girl's friend asked.

"What are your names girls?" Cindy asked with atitude.
"My name is Lisa and she is Alisha", the girl replied.
"So Lisa and Alisha listen to me carefully because I am not gonna repeat it. You both are seated on our seats, so get lost from here and forget the dream of getting Noah. And in the future, no one else repeat this mistake and also you both get a lesson, for that I slapped you. Any other questions?"
"You can't do this . I will complaint to teachers", Lisa shouted while crying.

Cindy pushed her on the floor and asked one of her friends to record this to post on social media with #nevergetclosetoNoah .
Cindy took one of her friends bottle and started splashing water on those girls. No one wanted to go against Cindy and help those girls. I look towards our and other girls beloved Gentlemen's Club for help, but it seemed like nothing wrong was happening from their point of view. They all were sitting emotionless.
I had enough of it. I can't stay quiet anymore. I stood up in my place with my fist tightly closed. Ari tried to stop me , but now I won't stop.

"Hey", I screamed in anger getting out of my seat. Daphne and Ari followed me out from seats. All faces turned towards me, including the camera.
"Oh today's my lucky day. Look another girl wants to be in our video. Trying to become a hero , huh", Cindy said with a smirk.

She came near me with bottle in her hand , but I wasn't going to wait for her action. I slapped her before she could do anything. All of them were shocked by my sudden reaction to an unhappened action.

" Do you know who is my father...." She started speaking to scare me , but I interrupt her.
"Who are you? I don't want to know who's your father. Don't you know who you are? What's your identity? Who are you ?"
Cindy was taken aback by my sudden questions, but she soon came to her senses.
"Cindy Brown", she shouted.
"Well I don't see any danger in your name, nor have I ever heard about you."

I pushed my way through those mean girls to Lisa and Alisha and gave them a hand to stand up.
"Making fun of someone is very easy, but it doesn't make you look cool, and who sits quietly while witnessing these crimes are equally criminals", I gave a side eye to Noah and his group, and this time I found him staring at me.

"Rich father's soiled children."

The bus stopped again and this time at our school, but no one wanted to leave this drama. I was the first one to leave the bus.

"Now post this on social media with #antiragging."

I stepped down from the bus with Daphne, Ari, Lisa and Alisha.

I was able to hear the mumblings of students from the bus. I didn't look back even for once. I didn't wanted to see their faces.
I don't know how many friends I have made, but I definitely made a real enemy which I know is dangerous. Maybe from now on my life would get miserable in this school, but I am not gonna step back. I will fight . I have to fight . I have to fight with my true Enemy
in whichever way it is possible.
