Voyage Of The Villainess

"And who might be this loser?" The leader of the mean girl sized Carolle up and down. And she was quite annoyed, though she was wearing casual clothes, and no accessories or make-up, her figure was perfect and her face was naturally pretty.  "If you don\'t want to have trouble, don\'t get in our way."

"You said, they are bullying someone?" Carolle completely ignored the mean girls.

"Yes," the glasses girl said.

"Where is that student?"

"She-she is behind that wall."

"I see, just go down and tell everything to Ms. Gina. She is in her office right now." Carolle said and the glasses girl nodded her head and hurried downstairs.

"Hey! Are you ignoring me?!" The leader of the mean girls was already exploding in anger.

Carolle simply ignore her. No, from the start she didn\'t even pay attention to them. "This b*tch! Grab her!" The leader of the mean girls screamed in anger. The two girls grinned evilly as they tried to approach Carolle.

"If you touch me, you\'ll regret it," Carolle said as she looked at the two girls. Both of them halted and stepped back. Carolle\'s glare was so cold and scary.

Carolle then proceeds to walk. When she reached the other side of the wall, her eyes narrowed at the sight. There was an unconscious girl, with disheveled and torn clothes. Her hair was so messy and as Carolle touched her hair, it was covered with glue and glitters. There were even scratches and bruises all over her body. "This is severe bullying. What did this kid do to be treated like this?"

\'This reminds Carolle of the time when she was in Malaya. And to all the students that were bullying Hyun Jae back then. Just remembering how she dealt with some of those arrogant nobles. A sinister grin escaped Carolle\'s lips. Since her back was facing the mean girls, they failed to see this.

"She overstepped her lines and even have the nerve to confess to the School King!" Then suddenly, Carolle heard camera clicks.

"Ah! Who are you?! How can you do such things here?!" When Carolle faced them out of confusion, she just smiled when three cellphones were now directed at her."We need to call someone for help!" One of the mean girls said. The leader of the mean girl smiled smugly at her.\'This is what you get for ignoring me.\' From her eyes, Carolle could clearly see what she had on her mind.

"I see," Carolle still remained calm despite the mean girls trying to frame her of bullying. This confused and irk the leader of the mean girls. But again, Carolle ignored them as she carried the girl in her arms. "I\'ll head to the clinic. You can submit your so-called evidence of me to the teachers," Carolle said as she walked passed her.

The leader of the mean girl clenched her fist. She tried to grab the hair of Carolle but Carolle was more agile and faster than her.

Carolle simply bent down then the leader of the mean girl, lose her balance. She felt flat on the floor. This aggravated her even more."You! Do you even know who I am! I am Sabrina Escalante! The daughter of one of the sponsors of the school...

"*Bang!*Sabrina gritted her teeth when once again she was ignored by Carolle. Since Carolle already left before she could even finish her words."Ahh!!! I will destroy that b*tch!" Sabrina never felt this aggravated before.

Meanwhile...While Carolle hurried her way to the clinic, she couldn\'t even fathom her situation right now. Rather she was quite amused with those mean girls. But her line of sight dropped to the poor girl who was unconscious in her arms.

\'How come such thing like this is overlooked. If it reaches to the extent, this is not the first time that this happened.\' Carolle released a deep breath. \'I wonder if I didn\'t overtake Malaya\'s body. Will she really act similar to that mean girl to Hyun Jae?\'

Carolle finally reach the final floor and she hurried her footsteps that were almost like running now. She reached the clinic. And at the exact time, the school nurse was just coming out from the door.

"Nurse, help this kid!" Carolle said. She was panting as the nurse looked at her in horror."What happened to her?! Bring her to one of the beds!" The nurse said as she opened the door to the clinic. Carolle immediately entered and went to one of the five empty beds. She gently put the unconscious girl down. As soon as Carolle did that, the nurse with her medical toolkit was already there and started treating the wounds of the girl."What happened to Melissa?" The nurse asked with a worried voice.

"I saw her on the rooftop being bullied."

"So she is really being bullied." The nurse said with a pained voice.

"Do you know that kid?" Carolle asked.

"She always comes here to treat with some small wounds. But this is the first time, she has had this worst condition."

"Worst condition?" Carolle\'s eyes narrowed. "If you already have an idea that she is being bullied, why did you not interfere, sooner?"

"It\'s not that I can\'t. Melissa only told me that she always got her wounds due to her clumsiness."

"Reasons. Just tell me that you are afraid of the person who is behind this."

"That\'s not it!" The school nurse yelled in defense."Mr. Buendia is a kind and just principal. He will never tolerate such acts even if that student is a daughter or son of some rich sponsor. Or perhaps are you a new nurse here that you didn\'t even know this?" Carolle said with mockery.

After a few moments of silence...

"This is my first time seeing you here. Just who are you to tell me these things?"Carolle glanced at the unconscious girl. Her appearance was slowly becoming much better due to being treated. Carolle picked up her wallet from the back pocket of her pants then dropped down a ten thousand pesos bill on the table one by one.

Instead of answering the nurse, she spoke something different. This widened the eyes of the nurse.

"Her hair is covered with glue and her things might also get destroyed. Make sure that she has better things and appearance next Monday." Carolle said. "Ah, and also it will be better if you let her have a check-up in the hospital." She added four more thousand bills to the table. Then started to walk away."You will know who I am by Monday. And also be sure and wise who will you side that time." Carolle said one last time and left.

\'To be in a troublesome situation always, my life is surely one of a hella ride.\' She just sighed as she looked at the empty hallway.

\'Ah, that\'s right. I still need to go back to Ms. Gina\'s office. But it is too tiresome to do so.\'Carolle picked up her phone from the pocket of her hoody. Then stopped the recording button.

She started texting Ms. Gina that she got too tired exploring the school. And apologized for not meeting with her before going home. After texting, she shoves the phone back into her pocket. Then headed outside. At the school gate, the guard greeted her. Carolle greeted him back and she simply showed her visitor card. After that, she finally left the school premises.

However, Carolle didn\'t feel like going home yet. She decided to go to some places for a while. She called for a taxi and told the driver to drive her to the Viva Mall. On the road, Carolle glanced at the road.

\'Five years of being comatose and being more than seven years already in that world. I don\'t know that seeing modernity again, will be nostalgic and interesting again.\' She glanced at the cars driving fast at the opposite roads. Motorcycles that were trying to overtake some vehicles. Vendors were selling stuff left and right on the side roads.

Then Carolle picked up her phone and decided to search on the internet for all the things she missed for the five years in this world. If one thing, she would surely miss in this modern world, that was the use of cellphone and the internet. There was nothing as much as convenient with these two gadgets. Thinking this, a silly idea popped out of her mind.

\'Maybe I can create the internet in that world as well as a computer? In my stay here, I will memorize everything relating to how the internet came to be.\' Carolle grinned from her thoughts. \'That way, living in that world will be more interesting and at the same time, I wonder how magic will be adapted to these kinds of things?\'

"Ma\'am we\'re here." Carolle\'s thoughts were interrupted. She paid the fare and went down the taxi. Without wasting any time, she walked inside the mall. The first thing she did was to withdraw money since she gave almost everything she had in her wallet to that nurse. Then she finally started her mall spree.

Carolle started with all the foods she haven\'t eaten for a while. Such as French fries, burgers, pizzas. Then she watched a horror movie at the cinema and went to the arcades next. For the entire half of the day, she just enjoyed her time at the mall.. And yet somehow, after doing all of this alone, she only felt emptier inside.
