She Who Became A Badgirl

Prologue

"From now on, they will live here in my mansion. We're not alone anymore. I hope you get along with them, Vanez."

My mouth dropped at its finest after hearing Dad. I then, looked at the people he brought here. I gritted my teeth when I saw the woman he replaced to mom.

"Are you fucking with me, Dad? Mom just died but here you are, you immediately found a new to replace her! You didn't even mourn! She's your wife! How could you?" I shouted angrily.

He massaged his nosebridge.

"You think I didn't mourn? You're not the only one who left hurting, who left in pain. I also cried every night after she died---" I cut him off.

"Then why did you marry another woman? Why are you bringin' that people in our mansion? Where's your mourn in that, Dad?!"

My tears pooled in the corner of my eyes in so much hatred. When the woman beside him, spoke.

"I think it's inappropriate to---"

"Shut your mouth!" I cut her supposed lines and gave her a sharp look.

"Vanez Amelia! Your mother died several years ago for heaven's sake! It's been a long year and everyone has already moved on! I'm commanding you to respect Sharon and you will call her Tita starting today. Her children will be your siblings from now on, I will taking care of them with or without your permission! You can't do anything else but to accept it. This is my rule in this house. Your mother is already died. I have moved on already. You should move on, too." Dad said with finality.

"No! No way! I will never accept them in our life! Never ever!" I shouted at the top of my lungs.

That time, at my grade school days, shit went on and on. I learned not to trust anyone again. I made my old self vanished and replaced it with a new one. Someone who can't be bend. Someone who have bad ways. The used to be good girl before has changed.

I became a rebel...

And I became a bad girl.

"Oh my God!" The girl's jaw dropped, widened eyes and terrified voice, she surveyed her uniform.

I put my signature smirk. Every students around us, gasped and covered their mouth. Some are cheering me and I feel so motivated as hell especially when I realized the disaster I made to the girl in front of me.

"What the hell did you do to my uniform?! This is fresh from laundry! Why the fvck you spilled something sticky on it!?" She shouted in a frustrated voice.

She's really mad now, I can tell. Her cheeks started to become red, brows furrowed and I can vividly imagine smokes in her nose.

I crossed my arms."I don't care if that trashy uniform of yours was fresh from laundry. You spilled melon shake on my uniform first, I'm just returning the table,"

I have learned to control my emotions in times of this. I shouldn't feel sorry because she deserves it. I'm no saint, hell I will never be.

She looked at me with so much anger."You bitch! The stain I caused to your uniform is far from what you did to me! Look at me! Look at what you did!"

"You deserved it," I said.

Her breathing became rigid, students that watching us started to go away. I also saw some members of council running towards the dean's office. Whatever. The hell I care. A straw like them can't bring me down.

I turned my gaze at the girl and I'm a bit shocked when she shouted out of her lungs.

"You're going to pay for this!" She was about to pull my hair when the dean appeared.

"Stopppp! What's happening? What do you think you're doing? Go to my office. Now!" The old hag lady shouted in authority.

The girl glared at me, I just shrugged. I bit my lip to control my little laughs. She's just a mood, her sticky look satisfied me. She looked like a burned pancake with drizzles strawberry syrup. She has black skin and I guess the syrup I bought is really that perfect for her.

She's saying some point earlier, what she spilled on my blouse was just a little amount and it's not literally colossal mess. I just want to have fun and make something challenging. Isn't that's what life for? To enjoy and challenge ourselves?

"I'm sorry, Mr. Arnaez. But your daughter is doing nothing inside the classroom plus she's causing many troubles in this school! She's definitely a burdensome! That's why I'm expelling her!" The old hag dean finalized.

I looked at her feeling unbothered. I yawned and took a glance at my wristwatch. Ugh, this is entirely boring. I already knew it coming. This is the usual, the normal for me.

Dad gave me a disappointed look before he stood up. He took the papers with all my school records. The dean looked at me the same as my father, I rolled my eyes at her and hers became wide.

"Don't you ever come back to this school again, Arnaez!"

I smirked 'coz I feel like I won the game.

*******

I looked up to the tall and prestigious building in front of me. Dad as expected, enrolled me to another private school. It's always like that whenever I'm making troubles and then, being expelled from my previous schools, he'll immediately find new one. And to be honest, it's frustrating. I'm like this for almost a year now and he's not doing anything about it.

Silly me. Of course he won't do anything about it. He doesn't care about me anyway. He never cared, he only care about his new family.

In short, he's a coward dad.

"Waaahh! My hair! What is this?!" The girl with short hair shierked.

She's taking the bubble gum I put on her straight and shiny hair. While I'm watching her crying in nervousness, her friends went near her to help but they just gasped when they saw what's on her hair.

"Girl, you have a bunch of bubble gum on your hair! What the fuck?"

"Pfft.." I want to laugh hard, I swear.

They are so funny. Tears started to pooled in the corner of her eyes while her friends keeps on looking at me as if they want to ask something but they just couldn't open their mouth. It's currently lunch time and her seat is located first before me. I found her hair interesting so..

"Maybe your seatmate did that to you?" One of her friend said.

"Damn! I'm a good boy! I won't do that to her and I hate bubble gum. Gross!" Her seatmate intruded.

I see, he's also listening to the conversation, huh.

The girl looked at me, as if she's blaming me. I thought she's stupid enough to not realize it. I almost failed.

"Y-you! You did it! You put those on my hair! What is your problem, huh?!"

"My problem? Uhm nothing really. I found your hair interesting. Why so stress? It's made with chemicals, right? Why do you care to something that's unnatural?" I asked, mockingly.

I feel enjoyed more when I saw her tears fell. Finally.

"This is my hair! You shouldn't done that! I love my hair, it's out of your business! I can't remove those.. what will happen to my hair now.." she started sobbing.

Her friends comforted her, some threw me their dagger looks. I rolled my eyes. What a waste of time, I thought they will defend her or do something for her. Gosh, fake friends everywhere.

"Just go cut your hair or I suggest you should practice yourself being bald. I think that look more suits on you." I laughed shortly and left them, being pathetic there.

Ah, so satisfying.

I want them to know that I'm not weak. I want every people around me to know what I'm capable of, that I'm not a girl in distress who's thirsty for love and attention. Fvck love. Fvck attention. Those are fake. A pure illusion.

I used to being stupid before, but not anymore. The people around me are the reason why I created this bad girl.

******

I jumped in shock when Dad slammed his table. All of his papers, documents and other work-related things fell on the floor. I never saw him being this fueled in anger. Maybe I finally pushed his button and cut his patience.

"God, Vanez Amelia! Expelled again?! For the same reason?! What are you really doing in your fucking life?! Are you even planning to live your life? You're not living your life, you're wasting your life in your immature doings! Are you even thinking? I have enrolled you at different schools, hoping you will learn and do right!" He shouted, veins in neck almost came out.

I didn't bow my head, I looked at the window instead, not actually minding him.

"Why are you being like this, huh?" he hissed."Look at me, Vanez! You don't disrespect me in my own place!"

Damn it.

I looked at him, then. I'm emotionless as I gave him my gaze. He's jaw were clenching. I don't feel scared and sorry at all.

"You caused many troubles in every school you entered. Now I'll ask you, do you still want to study and go to school? Or do you just want to stay uneducated already?" He suddenly, asked in grimace.

My fist tightened. He really have that choices for me. He's controlling me again and I hate him for that. He's always like this, ever since.

"Do what you want. I know you. Even there were choices, you will still do what you really want for me," I smiled sarcastically. His lips turned in grim line."Enroll me in another school again. You said I'm just wasting my time in my immature doings then, I must say you are just tiring yourself in controlling my life." I turned my back after and was about to hold the doorknob when he spoke.

"I will enroll you to Clinton High. I hope you do better there, Vanez. You're always disappointing me." He breathed out and the next thing I heard is the sound of his swivel chair.

I took a deep breath before I totally left his room.

I knew it. He won't just stop, he's really determine to control every moment of life. He's kill joy, definitely he is. Can't he just settle down? Can't he realize that what he's doing is tiresome?

Morning came and I don't feel getting up to bed. I was planning to just lay on my bedroom 'til the other day came when a knock on the door pulled my plan in my mind.

"Whatever, Anya. I know what should I do to-fvcking-day." I said to our mayordoma.

She nod her head and accompanied me downstairs. I saw Akira first, my stepsister. Then Innov, my stepbrother. And the last, Sharon, their mother, basically, my stepmother. They are all complete there on dining. I joined without giving them any glance.

"Today, this will be your new school. It's a public type, not the usual. So please, be good this time, Vanez." Dad said when we finally arrived at my new school.

I stared at the simple painted building in front of me. The gate isn't grand. I'm expecting the same appearance and atmosphere!

Public school? What the hell, really?!

I'm expecting some bush of plants at the side of the gate. I used to see many cars and a school bus in lined outside, but I'm seeing the opposite scenario I've never imagined. The students my age, are walking while laughing and talking with their companions. They seemed very happy and full of energy.

While me, I faced Dad annoyingly.

"Dad, what kind of shit is this? Are you really gonna let me study in this place? I don't want here! This is cheap! I won't feel fun here!" I said hysterically.

He put down his specs and gave me a normal look, like he's not even bother to my rants."Don't give me tantrums. This is your punishment for being a difficult kid. You shall study here, whether you like it or not." He said to me.

My brows furrowed. He's punishing me?! What for?! How could he possibly do this to me?!

"That's it! I won't study more! Don't expect me to change because I won't and I will never be! I'll do whatever I wanna do and no one can stop me, not even you!" I shouted straight to his face before I marched harshly.

My chest was aching in so much anger. My breath became heavier and heavier while I'm walking without any emotion on my face. He never failed to make my life miserable, I guess that's already his hobby. If mom were just still alive...

Sometimes I wish, he should be the one who died, not her.

I feel like I'm in a different space of world. I'm not used to walk in a soil and most especially, in a mud! Totally annoyed, I looked down on my shoes and saw a drop of mud that made my newest shoes look ugly and old now. My lips formed grimly.

"Hey, miss. I think you're blocking our way to---"

To my built up annoyance, I immediately cut the boy who spoke at my back."Shut the fuck up! Go and fly your ass!" I hissed.

I almost throw them my shoes if they chose to stay. I took some tissues from my bagpack and wiped the stain on my black shoes. After that, I threw the tissue elsewhere and continued my walk like nothing happened.

I don't know on earth why all of them are looking at me like I'm some kind of alien or unknown specie who just landed in front of them. Why they're like that? Have they seen a pretty gray haired girl just by now?

"Hi! You're new here?" A girl in pigtail with visible contact lenses and colorful braces, appeared and asked.

My brow arched."Obviously? I'm looking for my room. It said here, it's located at the back of music hall. Where's that?" I asked rightaway.

She looked at the paper I'm holding then, her smile widened and eyes sparkled.

"Omg! We are classmates! I see, you're the transferee our professor talking about yesterday!" She started to giggle and my forehead creased when she held my hand."Come with me! I'll guide you to our classroom!" I couldn't argue more when she forcefully grabbed me.

Honestly? I want to push and kick her out of my sight for grabbing me like we're close friends. Can't she notice that I'm not happy as her? Can't she see how crumpled my face was? The nerve of this girl.

"Wait," I said but she didn't hear it so I needed to raise my voice,"Fucking wait!" There, she stopped and faced me. I crossed my arms."I'm just asking you where is my room. I didn't tell you to grab me here. You're acting like we're close friends and to tell you this, even if we're classmates, you shouldn't done that. Did you hear any permission from me? Nothing, right?" I said in sarcasm.

Her light face earlier fell. She slowly nodded, her smile profusely faded.

"Y-yeah. I'm sorry. I-I just like your style and I want you to be my friend.."

My eyes narrowed. I want to laugh. What? She want me to be her friend? Is she high?

"Friends, huh. The feeling is not mutual." I watched how she pout her lips.

I left her there and went inside our room. So, this is my new atmosphere. An all-white painted wall, plastic chairs?! I feel suffocated. My shoulder fell and I can't recognize what's my expression upon seeing the whole place. There's only one thing I can say.

Disaster.

This is a disaster for me. So this is your punishment, Dad. What a great job you did.

I picked my chair and sat there recklessly, not minding the stares of my so-called new classmates. I shouldn't bother myself too much. I'm sure this will be temporary. I'm gonna expel and kick out in this school again, like the usual. I'll prove to Dad that he can't do anything, he can't stop me being difficult to him and to others.

"Where's the transferee? Kindly introduce yourself here in front." The professor entered and he didn't even greeted us 'good morning'.

All of them, looked at me. I rolled my eyes and stood up lazily. The struggles of being a damn transferee.

"Vanez Amelia Arnaez. I don't actually want to be friend with y'all so better be fuck off. That's all." I sat back on my armchair.

It took seconds before they processed everything. Especially our professor, he blinked twice and cleared his throat.

"Cussing is not allowed here, Ms. Arnaez." He warned me.

"Sorry not sorry." I gave him a sarcastic smile.

I heard their gasps. The girl earlier who grabbed me is sitting beside me, I felt her stares though I didn't give her my attention. I took my earphones and bubble gum. I put it on my ears and listened some rock songs. I chewed the bubble gum then blowed it from time to time.

The bell finally rang, I took out the tasteless bubble gum and pasted it under my table.

But to my surprise, our professor doesn't leaving yet. What the? Don't he have a watch? To my irritation, I took out my earphones and searched for my mini clock inside my bag. I set an alarm at the exact time now. It rang loudly.

"Therefore, mitosis produces----" he paused and all the corner of the room filled with silence.

"Sir, you're abusing our time. It's lunch time already. You may now leave." I gestured my hands, his mouth parted.

"Damn, girl. Isn't she's awesome?" Someone whistled.

Our professor had no choice but to put down his marker and took his whiteboard. He shook his head in dismay before he walked out the room. I smirked and held my bag. I walked out too, I let them thank me for giving them a favor. What favor? I don't remember I'm giving someone a favor. I didn't do it for them, I do it for myself only. Some are bashing me for disrespecting the prof, they're saying they still want to listen to his discussion.

How fuck up they can be? Boring people shouldn't mind.

"Vanez, wait!" Someone called.

I paused from walking to look back. I frowned when I saw the pigtail girl. She ran towards my direction. Is she chasing me? She breathed in and out when she got near. I needed to wait 'til she got the urge to speak up again.

"What?" I asked, lazily.

"You still don't know where the cafeteria is, aren't you?"

My brows immediately furrowed."So? I'll find it, then." I shrugged.

She pouted."I can accompany you there, you know.." why she seems persistent anyway?

"What's wrong with you? Ugh, whatever. Do what you want, I don't care. Just don't you dare meddle with my business or else I'm gonna be your biggest nightmare."

Fine then, as if I care for her. She seemed happy about it, she walked first and true enough, she guided me to cafeteria. She also told me her name and it's Rocelia. She became energetic again and I'm a little bit annoyed. I'm starting to regret why I let her be with me.

"They're selling so many sweets here but if you want salty foods, you can try their baked potato fries! Or if you like spicy foods, they have ramen and chicken legs for options!" She exclaimed giggly.

I was about to make my response when a body bumped in me. I almost step back. Rocelia held my arm, I looked at the whodunit. It's a boy holding books.

"S-sorry.." he apologized.

I shushed harshly and removed Rocelia's hands on me."I don't accept sorrys," I gritted and stamped him when he's about to step.

"Vanez! That's enough!" Rocelia panicked.

All the students in the cafe are now watching us. When a pair of shoes came in front. From the boy who's crawling to pick his books, I lifted up my gaze to someone who just arrived.

"What's happening here? What did you do?" A calm voice of a tall guy wearing specs, brought the atmosphere into silence.

He looked down at the boy then to me.
