106. The show had just begun

During lunch break, Li Zhilan walked towards the corner seat which was always empty other then the time the group of monkeys sat there. It was like that seat was for them only as no one else would ever sit there.

After placing her food on the table and sitting down, Li Zhilan was about to call the other monkeys but was interrupted by a group of three.

''Who are you? Don't you know that this seat is for the Goddess and her friends, for The Five? Move, don't sully the air here.'' The one who said this was standing towards the left.

What the hell happened in these three months?

Why are there so many idiots in school?

Feeling to lazy to fight back, Li Zhilan stood up and looked around to find a table for herself. A group of students from her class waved at her to join them which she replied with a grateful smile and a nod of her head. But the problem wasn't over yet.

Just after Li Zhilan picked up her food and walked towards the group, the girl towards the right tried to trip her so that the food in her hands will fall onto herself. But she was in for a surprise. Li Zhilan indeed tripped, and her food also fell but unlike what was planned, the food fell on the girl who tried to direct the fall.

''What the? Don't you have eyes. Can't you see where you are going? You...'' The girl tried to slap Li Zhilan but the later just moved a step back and dodged it.

''Get lost.''

''You don't have to be so rude do you?'' The girl in the middle spoke at the end. It was evident from the way she stood there without saying anything until the very end that she was the leader of the three.

''Rude? Alright then. Let's analyze everything right from the start. Let's start with the most obvious question. Who are you?'' Li Zhilan's voice had become extremely irritated and cold.

After seeing them keeping mum, she said again. ''Let me ask you this in another manner. Tell me, do I know you?''

What could the three girls do other then keep mum. It was true that they didn't know who the other person was. They just saw her sitting at the table which was always reserved or more like empty. That table wasn't just any table. It was the table of the boys they admired a lot. They just couldn't let someone steel their place. That goddess Li was a big enough trouble already. They hated that girl titled goddess Li for sticking with their boys all the time. The hatred was so great that they refused to even look at her picture. That was why they didn't recognize that the person infront of them is the very goddess Li they hated the most. Otherwise, even if they were given the guts of a thousand men, they won't try to mess with her.

On the other hand, Li Zhilan continued talking after a long silence.

''Since you don't know me, why are you standing in my way? Right from the start, you lot tried to pick a fight. You told me to go away when I was already seated and ready to have my food. Did I say anything? No, I didn't. Instead I stood up and walked away but what did this idiot of a winger do? Common, are you a three year kid or did your brain stop working when you were three? Who would fall because of an extended leg? What a dissapointmemt. Back to the topic, now tell me, who was being rude? Me, someone who didn't say anything even upon being driven away or the three of you who tried your very best to create a trouble? You better find out well before pointing fingers at others.''

''I... It's just that, that table is always kept for The Five so how could we let you, a new bumpkin sit there? So...''

''So you tried to create trouble with me. Didn't you hear what I said this morning? Those who bully others will be bullied. What the hell was happening in this school in these 3 months I was away?''

Before Li Zhilan left to join the exchange program in Country C, everything in the school was well. No trouble makers, no mischief and absolutely no bullying. But in just three months, the school had turned upside down. Many new students joined, which wasn't something new, but among those freshers, many of them had issues with their characters.

''Who are you to talk back with Stephanie. Do you know who she is? Do you know that with just one phone call, she can make you leave this school. Just one phone call and everything your family depends on will be gone. Do you wanna experience the life worst than what you are already experiencing?'' The girl at the leftl was shouting like a mad woman while Stephanie, the girl in the middle had her arms crossed across her chest with a smug look on her powdered face.

''Oh... So she is a big shot. Care to introduce?''

At this moment, those who were around watching the show had one sentence clearly crossing their minds.

It's over. The brown group is finished.

Everyone knew the consequence of those words. Everyone but the three involved. But no one stepped forward to warn them. Their behavior and character these three months were not liked by anyone but the brown group had everyone under them while Li Zhilan was away. Those who tried to reach out for help and those who tried to retaliate were all taken down by the brown group so they could do nothing but endure. But this time, it was different. It wasn't just anyone who was up against them. It was Goddess Li, the main hub of the school. The show had just begun.
