Episode 6 :, The Bullies meet their Match
Kim Hyun-jin was talking quietly with Elira in the corner of the classroom. Her face looked calm, but her eyes were burning inside.
Then the door opened. The whole bully group walked in.
Their leader was Aiden, the secret son of a prince. Next to him was his cousin Rafael. With them came Serena, the daughter of the Minister, and her two close friends Tara and Mira, who always followed her.
In Elira's mind a flashback started.
These were the same five who had tortured her before. They had cut her hair, put dirt in her food, burned her with cigarettes and even pressed a hot iron on her back. They forced her to smoke. One day two boys tried to attack her, but a teacher came and she escaped.
Those two boys had already hurt ten other girls. The school never took action. They filmed videos, took money and blackmailed victims. Three poor girls ended their lives because of this. The five bullies were all from rich families — Aiden the prince's secret son, Rafael his cousin, Serena the Minister's daughter, and Tara and Mira her helpers.
The flashback ended. The scene returned to the classroom.
Aiden walked slowly to Elira. He leaned close and whispered in her ear:
"I missed you… especially your beautiful body…"
He winked and stepped back, waiting to see her reaction.
But Elira, who now carried Neesha's spirit, only gave him a cold angry look and started to walk to her seat.
"Hey, sweetie, don't be angry," he said softly and caught her wrist.
This time Elira gripped his hand hard and twisted it back. Aiden cried out in pain. The whole gang froze. The class went silent. Elira's voice was calm but strong:
"I'm not the weak Elira you used to hurt. I'm not that girl anymore."
In her eyes was such hate and strength that for the first time the bullies felt fear.
At that moment Alessia entered the class happily. She had thought Elira would be broken by now. But she stopped, shocked.
Elira was standing straight, her face full of confidence, facing the bully gang without fear. Alessia's eyes widened in surprise.
