"Well, well, well, if it isn't the pregnant princess," one of them said, a smirk spreading across his face.
Du ixaoxin rolled her eyes, used to this treatment from her classmates. "Well, well, well, if it isn't the four horsemen of the hormonal apocalypse," she retorted, trying to keep her cool.
The boys laughed, but Du ixaoxin didn't let it get to her. She had dealt with their lewd comments and unwanted advances before. She was a strong, controlling, and direct young woman, and she wasn't going to let anyone bring her down.
One of the boys reached out to touch her belly, but Du ixaoxin swatted his hand away. "Don't you dare," she warned.
The boys continued their harassment, making comments about how Roy, the vampire prince, must have "had a feast" on her. Du ixaoxin's green eyes flashed with anger. "At least I got a decent meal out of it, unlike you lot who are still stuck on milk and cookies," she shot back.
The boys snickered, but Du ixaoxin's comeback had given her a boost of confidence. She straightened her shoulders and pushed past the boys, making her way to class.
As she walked, she couldn't help but think about Roy and their one night together. She knew he was a vampire and that their relationship could never be, but she couldn't help the way she felt. She had always been drawn to him, even before they had consummated their attraction.
Du ixaoxin arrived at her class, out of breath but determined. She took her seat, ignoring the whispers and stares from her classmates. She opened her test booklet, determined to prove to herself and everyone else that she was more than just a pregnant teenager.
As she began to answer the questions, Du ixaoxin couldn't help but feel a sense of pride. She may be a victim of bullying, but she was also a strong, controlling, and direct young woman. And no one could take that away from her.
"Nice job, Du ixaoxin," her teacher, Mr. Smith, said as he collected her test. "I knew you could do it."
Du ixaoxin smiled, feeling a sense of accomplishment. She may have been different from the other students, but she was just as capable, if not more. She was a force to be reckoned with, and she wasn't going to let anyone bring her down.
As she gathered her things and headed out of the classroom, Du ixaoxin couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement for what the future held. She was strong, she was direct, and she was in control of her own destiny. And no one, not even the four horsemen of the hormonal apocalypse, could change that.
