"Why won't you just leave me alone?" I cried out while holding back tears of frustration, anger and despair.
The guys all exchanged amused looks before bursting into loud, boisterous laughter which made me flinch, my heartbeat accelerating.
This situation feels so corny, like a scene out of a cliche romance manga. Only that no powerful male lead was coming to slay my bullies and rescue me.
Not even a handsome second male lead who hates the first male lead and has been in a one sided competition with him from the start of the book, was coming for me.
A kind, average looking love interest with unrequited love for the female lead wasn't coming from me either.
I'll have to be important to pull all that kind of attention. And, I wasn't.
In this school, I was at the bottom of the bottoms.
These guys were about six… seven in number? I've lost count, cause it was hard to focus on that when you're being beaten up.
"Cause you're too pretty for your own good. That's quite disgusting. Are you sure you aren't a girl?" One of them demanded as he stepped forward and pulled hard on my hair, making me choke out a sound of pain. The roots of my entire head hurts from all the pulling they've done on my hair today.
"I'm not!" I insisted for the hundredth time but they all snickered.
"You have a set of blowjob lips. Bet you suck cock every day and night. Tell the truth." One of them taunted and I flinched while they all guffawed.
"That's… that's not true!" I cried out but was waved off, then one of them was crouching in front of me. My heartbeat instantly dropped, and I tried crawling away from them, but there was nowhere to run to, since my back was plastered against the wall.
"You want us to leave you alone, yes?"
That sounded too good to be true. It's barely a week since I got here but each day was of everyone making my life a living hell here. I nodded tentatively, heart pounding away.
"Please." I whispered.
He cracked a smile as he reached out to stroke my long blond curl. "So girly."
My stomach twisted at those words.
I've lost count of the amount of times I've defended myself on this topic. I wasn't a girl like they all like to tease me about. I was a boy just like them.
But we couldn't me more different.
They were crazy psychopaths who're ruthless and beyond scary. Technically, everyone else in this school are psychopaths.
They've all committed one horrendous crime or the other, but cause they're too young to be thrown in jail, they gets sent to this school instead.
In a school filled to the brim with mad psychos and deranged idiots, I stood out like a sore thumb… cause unlike them, I wasn't a psychopath.
I was a fairly normal person. I've never committed a crime before. I wasn't even supposed to be in this Godforsaken school. A normie like me has no business being in here.
But somehow, my shitty luck was against me as usual, and after one disaster, my entire life changed overnight for the absolute worst.
"Here's what you'll do… if you do it, we'll leave you alone after that. We swear." He continued and my eyes widened.
"What's that?" For a moment, I feel hopeful. Maybe they've had a change of heart.
Psychopaths are humans at the end of the day after all.
"It's simple. You'll go to the north wing in the platinum dorm, and then you'll seduce the mad king."
My mouth fell open in shock as a sharp jolt of fright gripped me so hard, my entire body stiffened. Terror sank heavily within me and I struggled to breathe.
The… mad king?
"W- what?" I cried out, stuttering, my eyes wide open. "The mad king?!"
They all nodded, and I let out a choked whine, my heart almost falling out of my chest.
"B- but… that's impossible! You know I can't go there. No one goes there uninvited and returns alive!" I cried out as I looked over at each of them.
The mad king is at the very top of the hierarchy here in this school. He wasn't just a psychopath, he was the most powerful and deadliest out of everyone here in this school.
No one dares to mess with him. Even these guys were also terribly scared of him, that's why they pick on the weak… people like me, for example.
"So you're saying you'll do a bad job?" One of them sharply demanded, hand pulling hard on my hair and pain shot through me again.
"I— I'm not… Please, anything but that. I'll do anything else, I swear…" I pleaded desperately but they all sneered at me.
"You think you're in a place to demand that?" I was backhanded so hard, my head hit the wall hard behind me. My entire body hurt, but I couldn't feel the pain, not when that was my last concern right now.
"You'll seduce the mad king. Get into his bed and take it up the ass like you're clearly used to." One of them ordered. "If you fail to do that, we'll kill you."
"B- but the mad king will kill me too…" I trailed off to choke on a sob.
"Or he might not. He's sometimes in a good mood after all." One of them drawled and I flinched as they all snickered.
"But what if he k- kills me?"
"Then you die. He'll give you a quick death than us, that's certain." They walked away after that, leaving me to my tears and jumbled thoughts.
I couldn't believe this was my life right now.
A week ago, my life was normal. I had no worries compared to what's presently going on in my life.
I couldn't believe my latest quest was now seducing the mad king. Could my life get any worse?
I couldn't even chose to refuse, cause basically, I wasn't left with a choice. I either do as ordered or get killed by those bullies. And worse, no one would bat an eye. But daring to go into the north wing uninvited was a death sentence on its own.
I have nowhere to run to, no one to report to, no one to save me from this mess.
A week ago, I didn't just lost everything in a single breath. I was sentenced to something worse than death, for a crime I didn't commit.
