Chapter 6: A new story
*Flashback continues*
Someone had grabbed the duster that was aimed at him. He could not see her face because of the angle but her crystal clear voice resounded in the now pin drop silent classroom once again.
’’Let me join you all,’’ she spoke again and Maxim noted the gasps and whispers that rose at the girl’s words.
Maxim watched as she held the duster in one hand and pointed her other hand towards the guy who shoved it at him.
’’You like to play power, right? Two can play the game. I, Diana Chen will tag along with you in this thing. Bully me or be bullied by me.’’
And through his half-lidded eyes, Maxim could see a few people retreating.
A few remained fixated in their spots though and the girl named Diana stepped towards them.
Maxim glanced at her straight back and her long blonde hair which was tied in a high ponytail.
Soon, he heard her clear voice once again, ’’If you get an itch to bully someone again, come at me. I will be up for it anytime.’’
’’Why are you defending him?" One of the guys asked her coldly.
And she laughed, ’’Because I feel like it and also, he is my deskmate. That’s the least I could do.’’
