Chapter 11 Your Face Resembles the Moon’s Surface
Violeta vented her frustration as she criticized Zelena, who cried miserably. Everyone rushed to comfort Zelena and ignored Violeta. They thought of her as an uneducated and wicked dunce
Violeta thought to herself. I don’t care. After all, they aren’t any better. Everyone had bullied Violeta cruelly and picked on her in her previous life.
Zelena wiped her tears and completely ignored what Violeta had said. “Sis, you must not like this dress. I’ll pick a better one for you next time.”
Violeta was speechless. “Don’t you understand what I said? Do I have to speak in another language? Or should I make up a new language for you?”
Everyone was dumbstruck. Violeta’s insults were on another level!
“Violeta, you’re way out of line! Zelena is trying to be nice to you, but you keep berating her. You’re so crass!”
“That’s right, I’m crass. Why do you keep talking to me, then? Are you dumb? Leave me alone. I don’t want to talk to you.”
“Violeta, are you feeling unwell?”
Violeta retorted, “Yes. I must insult all the fools I see. Otherwise, I’ll die.”
“Is she mad? She keeps spouting nonsense and barking like a mad dog!”
Violeta rebutted, “Why do you keep talking to me if that’s the case? Are you out of your mind? Did you suffer a major concussion?”
“Should we call the police? Isn’t anyone going to do anything?”
Violeta retaliated, “You’re so ugly. Don’t stand in front of me. If you call the police, they’ll take you away. Look at your face. It looks exactly like the moon’s surface, filled with craters.” Violeta’s classmates were dumbstruck. D*mn. Violeta has perfect comebacks. Is she a stand–up comedian? How does she come up with such insults?
They didn’t know that others had taunted Violeta in a similar fashion in the comments on her Facebook posts in her previous life. Some messaged her nasty insults, and some even photoshopped offensive pictures of her and cursed at her daily.
Violeta wanted Zelena to experience everything she went through in her previous life!
Anyone who tried to defend Zelena was met with a sharp retort from Violeta. She insulted them boldly and didn’t care for how rude she seemed.
The spectacle finally ended when the counselor came to the lecture hall to inform everyone, to go to the auditorium for the freshman orientation.
Fortunately for Zelena, it was over. She was out of tears and couldn’t keep up her act much longer.
Zelena was annoyed that Violeta had refused to wear the dress. She had to stop Violeta from showing off her talents at freshman orientation later and prevent her from becoming famous!
All the freshmen gathered together in the auditorium. There were plenty of good–looking students in Toland University’s performing arts department. The annual freshman orientation was like a scene from a beauty pageant.
Directors came to scout for new talents, and wealthy students from the school’s other departments came to find potential partners. In short, it was a bustling scene.
In her previous life, Violeta remembered that Zelena had met Samson Lowe, a famous director in the entertainment industry, at freshman orientation.
