There were a total of six boys involved in the incident that happened in Penny’s first life: Hugo, Slater, the angry delinquent–looking boy, and then the three bullies.
Penny only remembered one face from the bullies.
“Hello, big brother.” Penny stood in front of the boy
with a smile.
The boy furrowed his brows, gazing down at the small figure in front of him. “What is a kindergarten doing
here?” 4
Penny’s face twitched. She’s thirteen!
Taking a deep breath, Penny sniffed hard.
“Huh?” she blinked innocently. “Why does it smell
weird inside?”
It smelled like cigarettes.
“Little girl, this is a restroom for boys. If you’re lost, then head over there. It’s the lost and found.” The boy

pointed in the direction where she came from, thinking she wandered off. The lower grades were in the other building, after all.
“I’m not lost.” Her eyes shone clarity as her lips curled up. “I’m looking for my brother’s bullies.”
“Huh?” the boy arched a brow before he laughed. “Your brother’s bullies? Haha. What a brave little girl. Who’s your brother?”
“Slater Bennet.”
The boy’s smile faded, but then he burst out in
laughter. “Pfft!” He laughed so hard he was holding his stomach while hunching in.
“That loser…” the boy wiped the corner of his eyes, barely recovering from his laughter. “Is he that
hopeless to ask for a little kid’s help? Ah. That fucker…
he’s so hilarious.”
As he was making this comment, Penny already took off her backpack. Seeing her place it down and squat down to get something inside, he raised a brow.
“Are you trying to get your stuffed doll?” he said in ridicule, only to furrow his brows as he saw her take
out a nunchaku.

“Big brother, do you know anger is only one letter short of danger?” she asked as she pulled out her self–defense weapon she kept at home for safety.
“Oy, little girl… that’s not a toy –” the rest of the boy’s words rolled back as a painful strike erupted in his
abdomen.

Inside the boy’s restroom, Slater retched as he held
onto the toilet bowl.
“You like eating in the bathroom? Fine. Now have a drink!” One of his bullies shoved his head down to the
bowl. “You useless loser. Do you think we won’t find you after almost making me submit my project late?”
Another boy, who was sitting on the sink, couldn’t help but laugh while watching the happening in the cubicle. He took a long drag of his cigarette, casually puffing it
in the air.
“Lick it!” the other boy growled, pushing Slater’s head down into the bowl.

“Stop!” Slater clenched his teeth.
He had already taken all the beating from these guys and he hadn’t said a word. But the mere thought of his face touching the water in the toilet bowl was too
much!
“I did your project, didn’t I!?” Slater growled back.
Slater stayed up all night to finish their projects and in return, he couldn’t finish his. Yet, they were still angry just because they almost submitted it late?! How was it Slater’s fault that they came to school late?
“Stop this right now!” Slater barked angrily. “Please! It’s your fault that you came to school late ack!”

Slater’s breath hitched as a kick landed on his back, subsequently hitting his chest against the toilet bowl. His grip on the toilet bowl tightened, enduring the pain in his chest and back.
“That’s how you do it.” the boy who was initially on the sink cast the other boy a cold look. “Do you think if you ask him nicely, he will just listen?”
“Keith, we beat him up yesterday. If we hurt him more…” The other boy, who was the one shoving
Slater’s head in the bowl looked down when their

‘leader‘ cast him a look.
“That’s the point,” Keith hissed, shifting his eyes on Slater. “We beat him up yesterday, but he still dares bark today. This guy is really annoying.”
Keith took out his cigarette and, in his moment of anger, he pressed the burnt tip on Slater’s back.
“Ah!!!!” Slater’s screams were quickly muffled when the other boy covered his mouth.
“You damn loser.” Keith hissed through gritted teeth. “I’m going to kill you today, you motherfucker. We were too kind yesterday. Today, you’ll really understand that you are nothing but a loser who shouldn’t be in here.“@
Keith looked at the other guy and said, “Get me my lighter. I’m going to burn this guy’s tongue until he learns how to talk.”
As soon as Slater heard that, the scorching pain in his back felt numb. His body froze, looking back at Keith in horror. The moment he saw those pair of vicious eyes, he felt his heart sink.
The other boy, on the other hand, looked at Keith with the same horrified look. What did he sav?
