Bad Boy, Let's Rule The World Together!
Episode 1
Today is my first day. I still can't belive I managed to enter this prestigious University.
I look at the passing trees while the taxi drives towards the entrance.
I did everything I could to escpae home, to go to a University in a different city, where there were no more rules and no more expectations to...
The phone rings, breaking my train of thoughts.
Amalia
Father? How did you get my phone number?
I even changed my phone!!! How did he find out?
Amalia's dad
It's not so hard when you have relations.
Amalia's dad
Or when you know Reya.
Reya was my childhood friend from my hometown.
This time it was my mistake. I should have anticipated this.
Amalia's dad
Why did you change your number?
Amalia
...because this subscription is cheaper...
Amalia's dad
Oh...you are the one who wanted to move to another city!!
Amalia's dad
You didn't listen to me!
Amalia's dad
I told you that it's hard to live in such an expensive city at that University!!
Amalia
Have you called me just to have this discussion again?
Amalia's dad
Who do you think are you talking to on this tone?
Breathe. Calm down. You are free now.
Amalia
I arrived. I will call you later.
Such a person... obsessed with money and with grades. And the most... with his own image....
This is my new life, the path I chose.
I take a big breath as the car stops at the entrance gates.
Taxi driver
We arrived. $23 in total.
Even the taxi is so expensive here!
I should have taken the bus.
I start to search for the money in my purse.
Taxi driver
Are you really a student here?
The question surprises me.
Amalia
Why would I want to come here if I was not?
Taxi driver
I heard this is where all the rich second generation come to study.
Taxi driver
Look at the cars. That is an Aston Martin! And that's the 4 million dollars limited edition Maybach!
Amalia
You sure know your stuff.
I look at those expensive cars. I start to feel slightly out of place.
The $550 in my bank account seem to mock me.
Probably I should look for a part-time job.
I take the card out and pay the taxi driver.
Taxi driver
Well, good luck, young lady!
I get out from the car and look at the children coming with their parents or friends.
Well, it doesn't matter anyway.
A girl passes by me and I take a glimpse of her Gucci bag and Rolex watch.
This is really not a normal place, where common people usually go.
No wonder the taxi driver was suspicious.
I look once at the blue bright sky, and then enter confidently in the Campus.
Episode 2
The courtyard is full of giggling students.
I feel some mocking eyes on my back, but I choose to ignore them.
What is so good about having money?
This is one of my obsessions!
I want to have a taste and see...
Kora
Are you a new student here?
I turn around and see a girl my age dressed in luxurious brands.
Her poisonous smile makes me want to punch her.
I try to ignore these funny thoughts and manage a little smile.
Kora
How can you not recognise me?
Kora
How could you not see this beautiful face on every poster in this city?
Of course I know who she is.
I want to turn and leave when I hear what she says next.
Kora
A nobody like you. How could you be accepted in this University?
Kora
Have you looked in the mirror this morning?
Kora
Those cheap clothes....
Amalia
At least I don't have a cheap character.
I say and start to laugh.
I feel as if I am in a poor written drama.
What kind of no-brain villian is this?
Her ugly face makes me laugh harder.
I should become a bully because it is funny as hell.
Kora
Such a bitch you are!
Kora
Was your mom what? A **********?
Kora
How else could you be so stupid?
I look at her eyes and see only mockery.
Next second my fist is in her mouth.
Violence is not good. Violence is prohibited.
But so is insulting my mother.
She looks full of shock at me and starts to wipe the blood running out from her nose.
Amalia
Why are you so stressed?
Amalia
Your face is now as ugly as it was before.
I am not here to be mocked.
I am here to reach my dreams.
My hand trembles as what I did finally reaches my brain.
What if they will kick me out?
I am not in kindergarten.
I should have just left, not punched her!
Kora runs angrily and leaves me regretting everything already.
Maybe she will not report me.
Maybe she will find a way to take revenge by herself.
It doesn't matter. Every problem has a solution. I will not leave the uni on my first day.
I can already see the face my dad would make when hearing he was right, that this city was not for me.
Professor
All fisrt years, please go to the auditorium!
A lady, probably one of the professors says as she shows as the way.
A thought suddenly pops in my mind. Friends.
Preferably someone as rich as that Kora. Maybe that way she won't report me to the professors.
This is clearly using someone for my own benefit, but I can't bring myself to care. I am not necessarily a good person.
I am grey. Somewhere in the middle.
I say, turning to the left, where a cute girl is sitting.
She turns to look at me unimpressed, and then looks back at the stage.
I've been ignored. Well, such a good start.
I turn to the right and see a boy, with shiny brown hair.
For a second my heart skips a beat.
His eyes are so beautiful.
Kin
Can you stop staring at me?
He says raising an eyebrow.
I realize how stupid I must have looked.
He is just a guy like any other.
A handsome one, but still just a guy.
Is there someone normal in this place?!
I start to become angry again.
Amalia
Just because you have money you think you are so impressive?!
Amalia
Nope. You are just stupid! And...
Amalia
And I don't want to talk to you anymore.
I turn around wanting to kill myslef.
I need a whole and the earth to swallow me.
Kin
You really don't know how to lose an argument, do you?
His laugh echoes in my mind again and again.
Nope. No chance to make friends here either.
As I want to try and come out with another idea, I hear the voice of the professor.
Professor
We are happy to announce that a new year has officially started!
Episode 3
Professor
After every midterm we will have a ranking list!
Professor
Only the first ten will continue to earn the scholarship.
Splendid. Without the schoolarship I can't afford to attend this place.
Professor
Everyone will have until tomorrow the schedule!
Professor
Study hard and don't forget to read the list of rules. It will be attached to the email with your timetable.
Some start to clap while others look unimpressed and ready to fall asleep.
As everybody starst to leave, I feel a hand on my shoulder.
Professor
Ms Amalia, right?
Professor
Please come with me to the pricipal's office.
It seems Kora chose this path. Or maybe both of them.
In the end it is my fault I hit her.
I walk after her on a long hall until I reach a big wooden door.
The professor knocks lightly.
I enter, feeling nervous.
I see how Kora sits on the couch with ice on her face and her eyes swollen from crying.
I didn't even hit her so hard!
Amalia
Hello. You asked to see me... sir?
The principal
Ms Amalia. Please take a sit.
I sit reluctantly on one chair.
The principal
I heard today you solved your problems with your fists.
I wanted to say that she deserved it.
But she also has money and influence.
And is probably more important to this University than me.
Amalia
Yes sir. It was stupid of me. I regret it. It won't happen in the future.
Kora starts to cry again.
Her voice is almost a whisper, as if she is traumatised by me.
Kora
Sir, you can't let her study here anymore! She is dangerous!
Kora
My face is transfigured!
She didn't even have a scratch!
Amalia
You are exaggerating!
The principal
You are in the wrong and you still dare to raise your voice at her?!
If I want to escape this situation I should shut my mouth.
It is not fair, but it is more important to continue studying here.
The principal
The regulation says that violence is totally prohibited on the school grounds!
The principal
Have you not read it?
Amalia
I did. I am sorry. But it was self defence.
A little bit of something started to cross my mind.
The principal
Self defence?
The principal
Why can't I see any injury?
Amalia
I am not injured physically.
Amalia
The regulations states clearly that defamation is prohibited!
Amalia
Violence was not the right answer, but I was exerting by right to defend myself against a psychological injury!
Amalia
It states that self defence is the act to defend yourself from an attack which would cause an injury!
Amalia
The psychological blow I recived caused me a great injury!
Amalia
Please reconsider sir!
The way I was bullshiting....
I don't even know what I was saying
but as long as it worked...
The principal
You obtained full scores on all the entrance exams.
The principal
This is the only reason why I am reluctant to expel you right this moment.
The principal
You will have to write a self-reflection and bring it to me until next week.
The principal
If it happens again, this matter would not conclude so well again.
The principal
You are dismissed.
Kora was looking at me full of hatred.
Our war has only begun apparently.
