Chapter 5: " You will never bring me down. "

Some days passed by and today is sunday. Now the bird I took care of was already fully healed. In our home work, The one which we will have to create our own song. I got the highest, Now The songs we created will be sung by the idols. But since in our class I'm the extra student. I get to sing my song.

I don't really mind, Because my ' Great clasmates ' will never hear my voice. But hey. My voice is something that's not supposed to be boasted about, Since I know it's ugly..., I don't know.

I haven't sung in ages. Maybe I should practice..., Nah I'm too lazy. I looked at the little bird. I got way too attached to it.

" Little birdie, I think I should set you free. " I opened the window and placed the bird unto my finger. " You should fly now. "

The bird made no movement. It just stared at me. Wait a second, You don't want to leave me?

The bird tilted it's a little bit. This means she wants to stay with me. Yatta! Your name will be Mellow, You like that name?

The bird tilted it's head once again. Alright, I placed Mello(for short) on my shoulder. We should go outside.

I already ate my breakfast awhile ago. So for now, Me and Mello are going to the park inside the school.

A few minutes passed by and we reached the mini park. We sat on of the bench which had a shade.

I took out my notebook and pen. I was gonna finish one of my songs, I hummed the tune so that I can think of a proper word for the lyrics.

Then I heard the high pitch squeels of girls, Literally. They continued to squeel and it really irritated me.

Then they passed by me. These girls were my classmates. They stopped on their tracks and they surrounded me.

" Hello there Suzuki san. "

Well hello there, This is quite a suprise. I thought you hated me.

" Wow, Your correct. We really hate you. Your worth is nothing in this school. Which means your useless. "

I clenched my fists, But I forced a smile.

" Just because you got the highest score doesn't mean you can start being conceited. The smile your wearing doesn't suit your ugly fake face. "

" Dia chan you are always correct, Suzuki san has an ugly fake face. "

" I know right, Michi. "

You know what, You 'girls ' are the lowest. I'm telling you this now. " You'll never bring me down. "

" Why you! "

Dia slapped my face really hard. I really really wanted to slap her back, But. I hold unto my principles. And getting revenge will not do anything.

" That mark makes you more ugly, Suzuki san. "

Hahahaha, You really are the lowest. Picking up a fight with your minions against me." Only cowards do that " I cracked up a smile which literally irritated them more.

" Were warning you, Suzuki. This monday, prepare yourself. You'll face our wrath. "

I don't care about your ' wrath ' I'm not afraid of all of you.

" Let's see about that tomorrow, Su-zu-ki san. "

I watch as they leave. I thought this type of thing only happens in the anime, Though I got to admit, " They don't scare me. " I sat down and continued to write my song.

Today was monday, And when I walked towards the cafeteria. Everybody was glaring at me. I overheard some conversations.

" Poor girl, She'll get beaten up later. "

" Well it was her fault, She messed up with Dia. "

" I'm gonna watch later, This seems fun. "

I ignored it all, I don't care if I get hurt. " They don't scare me. I'm stronger than them. "

After eating I walked towards our classroom. Still everyone talking about me. Then I see Dia's group. A lot of girls where beside her. They were about 10. When we passed by each other I heard her mutter.

" Be prepared later. "

I smiled at them, Walking towards classroom the boys gave me that Poor-you face.

It seemed that Ringo sensei was not coming today. And Truthfully, He didn't come. It was already afternoon.

I was walking towards my dorm when they came. Dia's group. They were all smirking at me, But I remained calm.

" Poor Suzuki, Can you handle all of us. "

I answered them straightly with no fear present in my face, " I'm not afraid of you all. "

" Let's go girls. "

They grabbed both of my arms and they pinned me to the ground. They started to hit me in all parts of my body. Yes, It did hurt. But I wasn't afraid.

They continued to hit me harder, Then it was Dia's turn to hit me. I looked at her straightly, " Tell me Dia, What would you gain from doing this. "

" I would boast around that I was able to make you surrender, Did you know that everyone hates you. "

Do you think I don't notice that. I'm telling you this again. " You'll never bring me down. " I smiled despite the pain. I got wounds over my body, They hit me hard in my stomach. I tried to control the tears, It did hurt. But they will never bring me down. Many students gathered around us. Every one was rooting for Dia and her minions.

" Can you hear that sweet music Suzuki, They're rooting for me to hurt you. And I'll gladly do it. "

I was starting to get dizzy. My body ached a lot, There were various wounds in my body. Blood was starting to drip, This is less painful then what I've experienced in the past. Wounds heal, But Scars never heal...

" Su-zu-ki, Not giving up yet. "

Like I said, " You'll never bring me down. "

" Hit her harder, girls. "

" What's happening there! "

The students moved aside in fear. I saw Dia's terrified face alongside the other girls.

I saw a girl and a group of menwho were suprised, Ringo sensei was shocked, The teacher in S-class was also there,But he had a very serious more importantly. The headmaster was furious.

" This is the first time I've seen such thing, And Especially in my school! "

" Headmaster san..., She wa- "

" I don't want to hear your excuse! "

I was losing my consciousness, My body ached a lot. The last thing I saw was the group of guys rushing towards me.

I woke up in a white room, It was a hospital. The headmaster was there. Ringo sensei looked ecstatic when I woke up.

" Suzuki, I'm sorry I was not there when the whole thing happened. "

Saotome san, It's alright. I told them they will never bring me I was able to keep my promise. But, Yeah my whole body aches.

" I'm glad your awake Suzuki chan. The doctor told us that you had very poor health. But I'm shocked that you woke up some hours later after we brought you here. The doctor told us that you might not wake up for several days, or even weeks. "

" I asked the girls that hurt you, Their reason for hurting you was not valid, So I expelled them. Saotome san interjected. "

You expelled them? What about their dreams?

" If your attitude is like that, Your dreams will never come true. That's what I told them. "

An attitude like that..., I ignored the things I was thinking. " Saotome san, Who were the people that ran towards me?

" Ah, Those boys were the members of Starish. They were pretty worried about you. Especially Haruka. "

Haruka?

" The composer of Starish. They're already taking their master course. "

I'm very thankful to them,Remembering what Ri sensei told me, I asked them about the matter."There's a reason why I healed up faster," You want to know why. "

" Why is that? Saotome san and Ringo sensei asked in unison. "

Before, I always get sick because I don't believe that I have a future, I didn't have a dream before. But now, Entering this academy changed my life. Just knowing tha fact that my mother is alive is more than enough for me to keep on going through life.

My mother was the one who gave me strength when I was young despite me being sickly. But now because I have Hope, It gives me strength to Rise. I guess that's the reason I was able to wake up earlier than normal.

I thought about Dia and the other san, Can't you give them a second chance. Dia and the other girls, I know what it feels to have a broken dream. And I don't want anyone to experience what I've experience in my life.

" Suzuki, You really are kind. You really remind me of your mother. I knew you would say that so I called them awhile ago and I told them that I will give them a second chance. But we had a deal. If they torment anyone. They will never be able to srudy here, Even if they offer me money.

I smiled, I'm gonna prove them wrong, I will shine, Just you wait students of Saotome academy. " Saotome san. "

" What is it? "

I was pretty shocked awhile ago with your sudden change of attitude.

" Me too, That was the first time I saw ' Shining Saotome ' get mad. "

Even Ringo sensei, Hey. Headmaster san.

" What is it again? "

Can you tell Starish and their cute female composer that I'm very thankful to them. Honestly she is cute.

" I've already told them. "

How can he predict things? I remembered Mellow, Headmaster san my pet bird!

" She's there. "

What? I looked at the table. Mello was there, Literally. Saotome san is really thing the wounds they gave me were light. But the bruises were heavy.

I closed my eyes. I'll reach you Oka san, Just wait for me.

" Ringo sensei, Can you see the determination of Suzuki. Her Determination is very strong.I believe in her. "

" Me too, I beleive in that girl. She's strong willed. "

" Other than being strong willed, She and Haruka are somewhat alike. Or possibly, they are both alike. "
