Chapter 14: Bad First Start

The sun burned the car that Meg was driving but she sinks into it. After a drive of at least two hours, Meg and her friends arrived at the school with the school bus consisting of other kids at the school. At first sight, the duo; and probably everyone else on the field trip, knew this school was hell at first sight. It was called James Woods High.

Meg was hesitated even about leaving her car behind and was partially tempted to take the firearm that her father brought for her some time ago. Though, she knew the consequences of taking firearms. Still, you cannot get arrested for taking a firearm if you feel the need to take one, but she decided not to take it. Knowing this school, they may try to take it - not the authorities, the kids. Meg decided to take a taser just in case. She can see kids taking some sort of harmless weapons; not as big as firearms, but like batons, and even one kid taking a taser. Teachers didn't reprimand because they also didn't trust this school.

Meg placed her taser on her holster and placed her jacket over her body, so no one can take her wallet but in arms-reach. Meg also secured her wallet with much cash she needs. She knew these kids would try to take her wallet for a cruel prank because this school is horrible and would try to take her stuff for money. She was still tempted to bring her firearm but decided to console it, for they may mistake her as a school shooter. Her parents have taught her how to shoot when she was young.

Sure they don't teach her to hunt for sport but she knew how to disarm someone without much of a blink. Meg knew how to sniped too. She was glad that she had run away that night when she was abused. If she stayed, it was a possibility that she would have gone to this horrible school every day and never learn as much as she did. She remembered her parents favoriting her younger brother, despite being a baby, and likely he is older now. Meg didn't know about him and looked at every corner nervously, hoping that nothing would remind her of her past, and when she did see streets that were either of faint memories or not remembering them lowly, she was relieved.

Meg locked her car and place the roof over it, wanting to not allow students to hotwire and steal her car. Upon first sight from teachers of the other school, they shot her shock looks and wanted to likely get their greedy hands on her money.


As they wait into the school auditorium, most of the kids were starting to get bored, while the teachers and Principal Shepherd was silent. Most started to pull out their electronics recording devices and either started to record, watch something such as a vlog on Social Media, or just playing some sort of game with their classmates. Nevertheless, those activities soon got boring. The school needed funds and was desperate to call one of the schools in the fellow town so they can get more money.

Soon, the doors opened and students begin walking in quickly. It was clear that none of them wanted to be here and just rushed into the place sooner in the hope to get out of here sooner. Each of them checked their chairs carefully and some even pull out sprays and washed them, not wanting to sit down but having no choice.

Chris scanned each of them, wondering who his victim would be. He wanted to go after girls because they are weaker than boys in his opinions, yet none of them seem to be the exact right target for him and his parents.

When the doors opened, and each of the students turned and saw a girl, with black pants, a redshirt, and a mix sweater of the two colors with white lines going across that said Gucci in the middle and black and red shoes which had a symbol. Utterly, she was just matching much better than the other kids. She has the top modern clothes that many kids. Each of the kids already wanted to approach her to introduce themselves to her; but they knew they couldn't or they will be some consequences. She also has strength and some muscles, showing that she has some muscles. Some boys were drawn to her and want to ask her out just to get money.

She possibly has much more money then Connie D'Amico. All that can run through Chris's mind was:

"Jackpot."

Chris was sure he can convince the girl to be his friend by acting nice and steal her money easily then leave her with nothing. That can shame her. If only Chris knew it wouldn't be that easy...


Meg looked around the school and saw that it was full of dirty things. The gum was on the seats and wall. The chairs look half-torn. And most of the kids were money-hungry slobs. The 18-year-old girl decided to be careful while in this school. At that moment, she was glad that she had brought her taser with her. If any student tried to take it or any of her possessions, she would use her abilities to shorten them all in any manner. Then call her parents and put them on speed dial to report these students.

By the looks on their faces, Meg knew they were poor and desperate for some money. She also noted that most of the students were trying to act like they were rich and were putting on clothes that are so last year. The 'rich' students make the low paying students at her school look like millionaires. It was so humorous, and Meg had to use her serious side to not burst out laughing and rolled on the ground right then and there. She bet they love rubbing it in. Why do these losers thinking rich is cool and poor is not? They are not rich.

Sure, she doesn't hate the poor and been known to help them in the past, but they shouldn't lie about being rich. It only makes the real rich kids mock them, and makes it worst for themselves at the end. She noted a few rich kids in the crowd out of the other schools and rolled her eyes. Bet they are the worst students in the school. She especially glared at one of the girls who sit beside another girl, and a few other boys.

The girl wore a purple shirt that showed her midsection and red pants and yellow hair with earrings. The other girl wore a blue shirt and blue pants with a rubber band and brown hair. Meg mentally pumped her muscles, secretly vowing that she will have to watch out for these two. No doubt they are bullies and think they run the place. At that moment, Meg was glad that her father taught her al of what he knows and teach her how to fight because no doubt she would have been a victim in school instead of one of the toughest kids in school. She now matches her father in terms of fighting and could easily slam girls. She was going to become many things when she reaches adulthood.

After cleaning the chair she was going to sit beside along with her friends, Meg begins to sit down, not wanting to meet new friends.

During the meeting and introductions, the students from the other school already knew this was going to be a bad school. As the introductions came to an end, the students rushed out and some started talking to each other.

Meg decided to play with her gadget, trying to past the time lamely. She noted her friends and everyone was taking pictures of this school, just to find ways to roast this school. Already did most people she followed have posted something bad about this school. But instead, Meg decided to passed and not mess with anybody, because she knew the school was junk.

"Um hi," a voice said.

Meg sighed and turned around to see three girls. Two were light-skinned and one was dark-skinned. They looked like they were nerds. Meg didn't want to meet new friends but she decided to play it nice and give them a chance. Besides they hadn't done anything to her. Most of the students noted that their MEGA cool kid was talking to three nerds. It was mainly from the kids in this school. Likely, they are used to students being rude and turning down lowered 'rank' students. No doubt did she have no cool things she would have been bullied in this school, but Meg has much money and wear modern days thing. She did makeup since she was 6 after all, due to her parents. Meg has been the MEGA cool kid but she was also cool and warm.

"Hello," Meg replied politely, a smile inching on her lip.

As much as Meg can roast them as other popular kids would just for their clothing and how they are trying too hard, Meg has a cool personality and will not bully just for her money. She is going to start with much money but she is not going to act like she is over the world. She likes to be friends with people all of the time. She noted they weren't matching. Her parents raised her around money but not to be a bully. That is why she is such a smart girl and will not allow anyone to bring her down. Soon, the crowd of the other side surrounds them, hoping to see how the popular kid of the other school to hurt these girls.

"My name is Ruth, they are Patty and Esther," the same girl said nervously, noticing the kids all gathering around, wanting to see how this would end. Meg can easily embarrass them with all of these people and make them look embarrassed.

"Nice to meet you, my name's Meg," she greeted herself, not able to wait to show how different she is with the other popular kids.

"You got some nice clothing," Patty said.

"So we would like to wonder if you want to go to the playground?" Esther asked.

Meg nodded and looks grateful that they got straight to the point, already making her choice about what she should do. "You three, walk with me."

The students were stunned, including the three girls, and surprised that a cool kid was walking with some nerds except the ones who grow up with Meg. The fact that Meg Bowman, a MEGA cool kid, was hanging out with three girls were stunning. These three are not the cutest girls whereas Meg has many accessories and is a rich kid. As Meg walked off with those kids through the halls, some students begin to try to engage conversation with her; but she purposely ignored them for many reasons. For one thing, they only want to stick out and act cool. For another, they just want money, but Meg is going to keep her promise about not giving them any money unless they impressed her.

As they walked through the halls, she noted that not many teachers are around. "Hey you!" A voice said, and she turned to see two girls and two boys. Meg noticed that those boys are jocks, but the jocks from her school can easily destroy them in a game when they wanted to. He noticed it was the same girls from earlier. "Why are you spending time with these three losers?"

Again, a crowd begins to surround them. Meg frowned as she looked between the crowd. She had a feeling that these four are going to try to put her to shame. "What did they do to you?" Meg demanded, coming to their defense, and standing against the bullies. Meg had run into one or two bullies in the past but they don't start anything with her. Mostly, they have some sort of problem at home and she even befriends them and teaches them to be nice. A few lazy teachers came out and even looked at this confrontation without acting.

"They are losers and don't have money like us," Connie D'Amico said bitterly, looking at the girls threateningly. She always bullies them every day, but now a kid somewhat cooler then she in a few kids' opinions befriend them.

"What the fuck is your problem?" Meg demanded, glaring at the taller girl, not bowing towards her and becoming a bully as well.

The whole audience was shock and everyone looked at them, wondering what will happen again. Most kids would have consumed the coolness but not Meg Bowman who never amount to bullying.

"Who are you talking to?" Gina Resedes hissed, standing up for her friend, and glaring at the girl.

"You! Being cool is one thing! Being a damn bully is another thing! You two can't even talk! You sluts look like you got those clothes from the street!" Meg retorted daringly, putting them to shame, and making them look bad in everyone in the crowd. "A damn baboon looks better than you!"

Gina lost her patience and send a punch to one of the girls, not at Meg though because she wanted to show her how easily they can be humiliated. It looked like they were about to punch Patty because she wears glasses. Instivinctly, Meg reached out and grabbed her hand, twisting her arm, causing a crack to form and kicking the girl back.

Meg gave her phone to Ruth and pulled up the camera, "Here record it." Meg declared, tapping the button, eager to place them on social media. The two boys looked like they were about to attack Meg, but other jocks from her school came forward, silently daring them of what would happen if they try anything. The jocks were smart enough to know what would happen to them if they attack Meg. At that moment, she was grateful that her friends and people she known from her school came forward to help her.

Meg then gives her wallet to Ryan who places it in his pocket, since she knows he would never take her money and completely trusted him. Then she returned her attention to Connie.

"Fight me, bitch," Connie hissed, getting in a fighting stance which Meg instinctively returned.

For two seconds, Meg and Connie remain like that, sending a few jabs and mock punches at each other as the crowd gain around them, eager to see the victor of this battle. To think, in a twisted other life, Meg would have be amounted by bullying by this same girl.

Irritated at the lacking of the preparing fight, she threw a punch at Meg, who ducked in a second before the punch could have made contact and return the favor sending a punch to the back of her head, causing her to fall back. The fact that these teachers of this school are not intervening and vouching for Connie to win this battle just shows how lazy this school is. That is one reason why this school was bad and doesn't have a good education. It was so complicated why people would run a school if they cannot teach students discipline and respect. Meg was so glad her parents taught her how to fight or she would have not anticipated that movement and been able to fight at all.

To be honest, the punch that she'd just send barely had momentum. Meg can slam her down without any struggle if she wanted to. It was humorous. Meg decided to make this a real fight to test her abilities.

Gina grabbed Meg from behind, trying to give her friend an advantage. Meg used to this because her mother and father taught her that when she was young. She headbutted the girl, causing her to fall back and grasp her eyes. Connie moves to punch Meg again but she missed and was punched in the face by the girl. Meg sends a punch under Connie's chin, her attack causing her to fall back. Connie recovered before Meg could have attacked again, but everyone noted that Meg was fighting on the defense and letting them make the first attack. A snarl came from Connie's lips and she send a punch to her stomach, but Meg kicked her in the leg before punching her in the cheek.

Seeing that she was stun and also seeing a way to defeat her, Meg hit her in the stomach with her shoulder, before she grabbed her by her hair and kicked her knees, causing a loud pop to form from her ankles, before grabbing Connie by her hair and slamming her to the locker. The only reason why Meg hadn't seized the chance before was that Connie could have recovered and caught her by surprise. Gina ran up and punched at Meg, but Meg grabbed her arm and slammed it into the glass of the fire extinguisher, causing the glass to go all over her hand and blood to form. She let out a wild scream at what Meg did, but Meg slammed her over her shoulder, causing the bully to hit the ground.

Then she rapped her on the back of the head, sending her into a deep unconsciousness. Not finished with Connie, Meg grabbed her by her neck and begin choking her, able to see the work she had done to the bully; the girl's eyes were bruised, her lip was bleeding, and her forehead had a gash across of it. Meg held no regrets nor remorse for them. They are bullies, and likely gave the same treatment to other innocent students.

"Mess with me or anyone again," Meg threatened dangerously, making her choke and squirm in the hold. Connie tried to resist and get out of this hold but this effort was soon useless as Meg tightened her choke hold. Meg begins bringing her closer and glaring daggers at the defeated girl. "And I will kick your ass again. You may bully kids because they are too afraid of you, but at the end of the day, you are just a little bitch who tries to act tough around the 'popular kids'. Come to my school and try to beat up the nerds and they'll slam your ass without much of a struggle."

Connie tries to hide away from the recording phones and stares at Meg pleadingly. "I'm sorry." She apologized somberly, seeing that she was defeated and was humiliated.

"Oh look, she's apologizing and crying like a little bitch!" Meg laughed, placing her in front of the students for all of them to get photos and laughed mockingly at the bully. Usually, Meg wouldn't have done that but this girl tried her. Now Meg stood over Gina with one of her feet on top of the girl's head, with her hands around the girl's neck. Everyone took pictures before lowering her. "Apology accepted." She tested one of her senses of humor which only increased the laughter, having got that reference from a movie she watched a few years ago.

Finally, she released the girl and allowed her to hit the ground with a thud. Satisfied, Meg grabbed her phone and rewatch the videos. This was the first time she fought somebody. There have been many times in the past where she fought with somebody, but it was all but practice. Today, the adrenaline was real from within her.

Meg grabbed her phone from the girl like a boss who just saved the video. She knows those girls won't bully somebody as long as she is here. They thought because she was hanging out with nerds that she was weak.

"Now let's go," Meg said carelessly, not at all caring about the girls. They were bullies and wanted to make her their bitch. Now they are her bitch and they won't mess with her. She humiliated them and those bullies would be all over the internet, likely becoming memes. Not craving fear, Meg known she had earned some respect and fear today. She didn't like bringing out fear into people but they would now leave her alone. Her father always said 'If people cannot respect you enough to leave you alone, they should fear you.'

Meg glares at the teachers who looked like they were about to say something to reprimand her. "Say something to me and try file for lawsuits against me, and my parents will be down in this school in a heartbeat. And unless you want lawsuits, you will better leave me alone." The teachers backed off and moved away, none wanting to stand in front of the court of law. Now Meg has inspired fear in others.
