Sinful Secrets of an Angel

Entry No. 1 - The Gossip

3 YEARS AGO

My name's Venus Montreal. A 4th year nursing student in one of the prestigious university here in the Philippines. I can say that I am quiet famous. Famous because of my beautiful innocent face, that makes everyone thinks I am an angel came from up above. And because of that, I have made some haters. Those average students that crawled there way to the top. Those fame whores, like this one who intentionally bumped me while I was walking in the corridor with my best friend.

I didn't expect that so I fell on the floor. She just laughed as she watched me sitting in the cold cement floor.

She's Gwen, the Campus Queen slash team captain of the Campus' cheerleading squad and one of the mean girls that hated me.

“You're such a careless b*tch, Venus. Good for you.” she said and left me.

I shook my head as I stood up. I didn't even bother to fought back. I just let her do whatever she wanted to do to me. But if my Momsie would know that her little princess was being bullied by fame whores, she would instantly freak out and will use her connections to punish them. She don't want me to be hurt. She said, an heiress like me doesn't deserve wicked treatments. No one noticed that I’m a rich woman because I just remained simple. Even my best friend Joeana doesn’t know about it.

“Are you okay Ven?” Joeana asked me.

“Yeah I’m okay,” I said while smiling.

"Damn that b*tch! She's always doing this to you. I would really love to see her face distorts as I strangle her neck," she said angrily, pertaining to Gwen.

"Just ignore her, she would eventually get tired of messing with me, you'll see," I said with a sweet smile.

We continued walking until we reached our classroom.

As I sat down on my chair, I heard my three classmates gossiping about something.

"I am so scared to go out at night because our house maid told us that there's a serial killer roaming around," Antoinette, one of the three said.

"Who the hell was that killer?" Mylene, the second one asked.

"Well, our house maid Clarice said that the killer was tagged as Mr. X because he would always carved the letter X on his victims' faces. He's also good at disguising himself so the Police doesn't have any idea about his real identity." Antoinette explained.

"How can the police tell that he's a man? You said they doesn't have any idea of his real identity," the third girl named Annie, questioned.

"I don't have any idea. I was just telling you what I know based on our house maid's stories." Antoinette shrugged her shoulders after saying that.

"Really? That's so scary. It's giving me goosebumps already." Mylene said as she rubbed both her arms with her hands.

I just raise an eye brow and didn't bother thinking about their worthless gossips.

A few moments more and Ms. Figueroa, our teacher in Anatomy walked in. We got ready for the discussion. I have to study hard. Aside from having a pretty face, I am also a dean's lister. I have the beauty and the brains, one of the reasons Gwen and the other girls here at school envy about me.

"Don't forget to study because we're going to have a long quiz tomorrow. Class dismissed," Ms. Figueroa announced after almost 2 hours of discussing. I don't have next classes so I decided to go to the cafeteria alone because Joeana said she has something else to do and she would just follow me once she's already done.

While I am walking in the hallway, students always greeted me. I just smiled at them as a response.

I’m known as a humble and kind person with a beautiful smile so everyone loves me except that bitch who keeps on bullying me amd those other mean girls who always looked at me with their envious eyes, making me irritated, but it’s okay. I just keep on ignoring them.

When I entered the cafeteria, I scanned the place, looking for a vacant table. I found one on the last row so I quickly bought my snacks and headed there. As I was about to sit, someone poured a soda on my head.

"Oh my!" I screamed in shock. I stood up and looked behind me. There, I saw Gwen, clutching her stomach while laughing, she's with her cheerleader friends.

I searched for a napkin to wipe my face. Someone handed me some. I looked at her. A nerdy girl with thick eyeglasses helped me wiped the soda that flowed down my face. But Gwen didn't like what the nerdy girl did so she walked closer and slapped the poor girl.

“Don’t you ever dare help her or you'll be sorry,” Gwen said in a mad tone.

“Why are you doing this?” I asked her in my angry tone.

“You don’t know why?” she smiled then she looked at me with her piercing eyes "Because I hate you! You snatched my spotlight! Before you, I was the campus queen. Everyone in this school adored me. But when you came in the picture, I was left alone! I lost everything!"

“I never did that. I never wanted to be famous. And it's wrong that you would give threat to someone who's just helping me. I understand that you saw me as your rival but don't you dare involve innocent people here," I said annoyed. I looked at the nerd girl who's crying beside me. I put a hand on her back, trying to console her while giving Gwen a hard look. "You're not alone, Gwen. You have your friends with you. Just be contented."

"BITCH!," then she suddenly pulled my hair.

I screamed as I felt the sudden rush of pain on my scalp. I cried as I tried to set myself free from her strong grasp.

Nobody even dared to stop what Gwen was doing. They are all afraid of her.

Like me, Gwen's family was also rich and had so many connections. The only difference was that I keep my profile low while she always bragged hers.

Suddenly, Gwen's strong grasp on my hair was gone.

"YOU F*CKING FAMEWHORE! HOW DARE YOU PULLED MY BEST FRIEND'S HAIR! HOW DARE YOU TO EVEN LAY A FINGER ON HER! DIDN'T YOU KNOW SHE HAD NATURALLY BEAUTIFUL STRAIGHT HAIR?! AND YOU JUST PULLED IT USING YOUR FILTHY HANDS?! I WILL SURELY WRING YOUR F*CKING NECK!" came Joeana's booming voice while pulling Gwen's hair.

They wrestled in the cafeteria. Gwen was on top of Joeana but Joeana was so angry that she soon overpowered Gwen causing her to be on top. She sat on Gwen's stomach and started strangling her.

"H-h-help! G-get off! He-lp meee!" Gwen shouted.

Moments later, the security guard came running and he told Joeana to stop. Luckily, Joeana obeyed the security guard and stood up. The nerd girl stood beside me.

"You okay?" she asked. "I'm Xandra. You're Venus, right? Thank you."

"No, I should be the one thanking you." I said smiling. "It's so nice to meet you, Xandra."

"Are you alright, Ven?" came Joeana's voice from my side.

"I'm fine! Thank you, bestie. By the way, this is Xandra. She helped me while Gwen poured a soda on me." I said, introducing them to one another.

Joeana smiled at Xandra. "Thank you for helping, Xandra." The nerd girl smiled back.

"You will pay for this! You will pay for helping that bitch!" screamed Gwen while the security guard helped her to stand up.

"The only bitch here is you, Gwen. Don't put your title at Venus." one student yelled out of nowhere.

"Yeah! You're a fame whore!" shouted another student.

"You keep on bullying Venus because you're just jealous. She's smarter and more beautiful than you, inside and outside."

"Get out of here, Gwen. And don't forget to bring your minions with you."

"You will all pay for this!" said Gwen crying. She pushed the security guard and stormed out the kitchen. Her cheer leader friends followed her.

"Are you sure you're okay, Venus?" said one of the student.

They offered me water. Someone even offered her extra clothes for me to get change. I can see that they really love me. Guess they didn't care if they will put themselves into trouble for helping me...
