From the promise she made to herself...
Then her thoughts strayed from her late father to William, the class bully who had gotten terrible by the day.
He appeared to hate her in particular, and she didn't know why. Or maybe it was because, unlike other students, she was the only one who was never terrified of him and would always find a way of getting back at him each time he humiliated her.
William on the other hand would stop at nothing to make her feel inferior.
He was no doubt the most handsome guy in school, had the richest parents, and lived in the biggest and most beautiful house in town, but that would never make her let him intimidate her in any way, never!
Yes, he was very intelligent. He was the most intelligent of all the guys in her class and that was why he had followers, had the most beautiful girlfriend, Lydia, and had his ways of intimidating people to get what he wanted, but no way! He wasn't going to do that to her, she was ready for him, she told herself.
