"why do you try so hard to be with me? Can you see I'm the one ruining your future!" I said to her putting both hand covered with blood on the top of my head
"Then let me ask you this...." She stand infront of me preventing herself from tearing up "why do you try so hard just to get rid of me?" She said, she have a bag pack full of clothes, then at that moment, the memories came rushing back to me
My name is YuYan, I am a role model in our school nobody talks to me and nobody bullies me, even though I'm still quite nerdy no one dares to touch me because I'm so called 'teachers pet'
I'm just your typical protagonist, who is poor and making money for a living since my mom leave us because my dad gambles and looses money too much, but I live alone, separated my life since all my money was also robbed by my dad, Mrs. Ella, my teacher has been taking care of me since then, oh and I haven't introduce what is my job well
I AM A SCAMMER
yes you heard it right, I entered the industry when my dad left me with nothing, not even a single cent but Ella laoshi know nothing about it, I am currently saving money worth 90million Chinese yuan for me to afford my college tuitions and I am now on my 40million, thanks to those people who is stupid enough to be scammed, I know what I'm doing is wrong but with those 90million yuan I'll be able to got to college, pay for my daily expenses, find love, and build my own family in the future, it's even enough for me to build a small business once I finish college "are you sure you don't want to join my club?" Ella laoshi is still pestering me to join her club that talks about society issue "Laoshi I'm not interested in any club right now, I need to focus on my studies" I said to her and walk to exit the faculty room "just think about it okay?" I nodded at her, why would I join her a single member club, I heard that only one take interest at that club but I haven't seen who it might be maybe some weirdo nerd who is into politics and stuffs
I just seated at my regular table near the windows when I saw a girl outside playing soccer with the other girls, I'm not gonna lie she's my type, kind, stylish but a bit boyish, though she's not that smart not gonna complain nevertheless, but we are in different page. She knows how to socialize and make friends, in short she's living the life I wanted to have "oh my gosh, I can't believe I got scammed" my thoughts got snap when my classmate Zeng Keni shouted and repeatedly tapping her phone, she's the class bitch here and her girlfriends is kind of a jerk too "ughh babe I told you to stop doing that side hassle it's totally burning our money" Sunrui wrap her arms around Keni's waist "don't complain, the money I earned here is what I use to buy your things" she rolled her eyes and walk out of the class, although I'm just a middle-man in the scamming job I have, I can't help myself but be nervous, I still own the app that scams people, I only pay 30% to my workers who I never met before, kind of skeptical but hey, I earn 70% which is equivalent to 450,00 yuan a month without working and just facilitating it
"Okay class dismissed" I got up and going to my usual business when Ella laoshi stopped me before I could even land a foot outside the classroom "Yuyan just come check my club, I'll call the other member to meet you okay?" "but Ella laoshi I have nothing to do with it" " ugh Yanzi don't be a boomer" she said dragging me to her clubroom, well isn't it my lucky day, I looked at my phone 3:45 pm I sighed and sit at the sofa inside the room, and there's a sudden bang from the door, I looked at door and widen my eyes when I saw her, she's my crush and she's the one and only member here "Aiyama! Diamond! I told you to be careful and knock" She looked at me but I reverted my glance to Ella laoshi "oh hi new member? Oh! wait I know you! You are my classmate YuYan right? the one you who seats infront, uhhm near the window right?" I simply nodded agreeing to all she stated, No, wait! I did not agree to be a club member here "Great! since ya'll know each other this club is gonna be fun"
"wait, no laoshi, you said that I just need to look around the club, I haven't actually joined" "come on it's gonna be fun just stay here for this afternoon and you'll see" before Ella laoshi could even lock the door I stand up and I excuse myself, bowing, and close the door, I sigh in relief when I escaped from that room, Ella laoshi sure is persistent, when I reach my little rented apartment, I immediately search for my phone inside my back but I noticed that this is not the phone I used to scam people, I panicked and search every pocket of my uniform "Fucking shit where did I put it?" I stand up and and look at the clock 5:36 pm I still have time my school usually close at 9 pm because dome students prefer to study inside the school than inside the house, I grabbed my bag and made my way to school by running, that phone is fucking important it have all the information, money I stole, and transactions that might put me in jail
when I got there it's no where to be found, I search our classroom, my locker, and the hallways where I walked but I remembered that I've been in the clubroom so I ran toward the room with no one inside but also found nothing, I search the sofa when the door slammed which startled my soul "Asdfghjk!! God please learn how to knock" I said to her and continue to search the sofa "wazzup I thought you don't like to join our little club?" She sat at the other sofa just across me so I simply ignored her "so watcha doing?" I suck my teeth making the 'tsk' sound "wow how rude, why are even here in the first place" "can you just please give me a peace of mind just for a second" I said to her and continue to lift up the pillows, yes I know I like her but I have no time for love, and she's too noisy for me "you're too noisy" that's the only thing I said to her, I internally faced palmed myself when those word came out of my mouth "okay I'll leave you alone then" she said jumping out of the sofa, when she left I sigh and continue to rummage the room but found nothing
Oh! I remembered I installed a tracker, so I opened the app and track down where the phone is, so internet café it is!
Diamond's Pov
That rude weirdo is really something, that's why no one dare to approach her, even if she's really smart and good looking too but she have no manners at all, I heard that Ella laoshi is her guardian since her parent left her in the dark, but she's not living with laoshi, they said that she lives alone at a 3 star apartment just 10 minutes away from our school, after I walked out of the school my driver said he parked the car near the building where my other schoolmate go and play, It's quite crowded today so I won't be renting a pc, when I hop inside the car, I saw the weirdo running inside the internet café, squeezing herself through the crowd that full sweaty peoples, what up with her? she looks like she's in rush and before I could ask the driver to wait he already stepped at the gas on my way to my house
I sigh knowing that my mom and dad is still at work, this house isn't a home to me, it might be big and spacious but I can't feel the warmth of being a family of a whole here I rather spend all of my time at school or play with my seniors than to be here, I went upstairs and throw my bag o my bed and took a bath, after the hot bath I put my favorite blue colored pajama, I open my back and took out the phone the weirdo left "so what's so special with you huh?" I seated at my working table and open my computer, I tried multiple times to crack the passcode but I can't seems to open it, so I turned it off and read the files my mom sent me "hi Diamond, oh I see that you're reading that, It can help you be the next heirs of our company" she said and made her way out of my room, I turned off the computer after browsing and wasting minutes to that trash full of data, and I simply lock my door, It's quite annoying that my parent is always pestering me
Tomorrow has come and there is already continuous knocking at my door, I got up and compose myself first before opening the door "hi sweetie, what took you so long to open up?" "I'm sorry dad, I was washing up" I answered my dad he just nodded and signed me to come down to eat, we always eat together but both of their faces is facing the tablet, my dad poured me my daily smoothie that consist of green leaves, while they're both eating bacon and beef I'm just being offered a fucking smoothie every fucking morning, I have enough of this shit, I got up and snatch the knife out of their hand and stab my dad repeatedly, my mom tried to pull me away from my dad but instead I got up and also cut her neck, then I returned to my seat and eat all the food they have, gosh I never eaten breakfast peacefully without them nagging and talking all about work
"you're always early Diamond I hope you'll be consistent" my mom said snapping me out of my thoughts, I fake smile and answer her "well you taught me that early birds catches the worm" "well you are a fast learner" She said as I took a sip at this bitter asf smoothies "well she isn't our daughter if she's not as smart as me" well maybe I'm not yours then since I barely pass my classes "of course dad, I need to learn more etiquettes from you" I said, eww I almost vomit saying those words "oh before I forgot.... We'll meet with Mr. Kun and his son this coming saturday" my mom stated, is she trying to arrange me into an unwanted marriage? If you don't know Mr. Kun is our biggest investor and partner in business so I guess they'll really going to do it for money "yes of course mom, I'll come" I said to her and before she could even say more, I excuse myself, saying that I still need to go to school or I'll be late
ughh I can't bear to have a conversation with them, I got into school and it's still kind of early but as I expected the weirdo is already here, she's sleeping, I quietly place my bag at my desk and went to her desk I plan to give back the phone but I saw that she have another phone, I thought she's poor? how come she have many phones? I retreated and went back to seat at my table near the door, as time goes by more and more people gather and it's getting more noisy "okay class settle down how was your down?" Ella laoshi said entering the class and the rude weirdo rose from her sleep, the class continue on and with just a few hours it also ended without me knowing it, I got up and stretch for a bit before going out for lunch, I made sure that the phone is with me so, he won't be able to see, this is what you get for being rude yesterday
Yuyan's Pov
I got no sleep last night, I was overthinking, being paranoid that if they happen to crack the code they might see all the things I'm hiding, when I got into school I once again look for the phone from 6:00 to 6:30 I've gone through the entire campus and still found nothing, and because I was very exhausted, I didn't notice that I already drifted into my slumber, I got up when I heard Ella laoshi, but I was dazing out and drowning with my own thought during the whole class so I didn't really felt the time passes, I was planning and leaving this city and going to small county far away from here, will they still track me down? Will they put me to jail? What if I just tell laoshi everything since she's my guardian, no there's no way I could tell her that, she'll be disappointed in me
"hey nerd" someone kick my chair, ughh what those this bitch want? "what do you want Sunrui" "I heard you have a crush on my girl is that true huh?" I sigh and roll my eyes at her, the only reason I'm looking at Keni is because I have a classmate that I scammed and it's been bothering me if she happen to know that I took all her money "hey leave my girl alone" "come on Diamond who do you think you are?" Gosh this is getting out of hand so I stand up and tend to leave but my collar was grabbed by Sunrui "I told you to leave her alone" Diamond slaps her hand and grabbed my hand "and I'm her girlfriend" she then throw a glare before dragging me to the clubroom "I can handle myself" I said as I seated at the sofa "well I'll take that as thank you and just look on the brighter side she'll never bother you again knowing that I your fake girlfriend is friends with the seniors that might kick her ass" I huff at that statement for god sake I was beaten up half to death when I was younger, I'm used to this shit
"but still why would you say that" I lay down my body and close my eyes, I'm so tired of living to be honest but my goal is to be successful enough to leave this country and start a new life "then want to make it real?" I sigh at that statement that shit won't happen, I don't want it to happen "leave me alone" "you're not even a club member to be resting here" she seated next to me "I already have many problem and can you please seat at the other sofa" she scuffed standing abruptly walking toward the other sofa "when's your birthday?" Small talks already huh? "26th May" she only hummed at me "next month huh? So what's your plan?" "Nothing and none of your business" ahh shi- wrong answer again, I sat up from my current position "I...I mean I have nothing to do"
"Let's celebrate it together then" She said and got up she tidy up and grab her bag "I'm going home, see you tomorrow" and leave me here hanging, I once again tried to tract my phone but same result NOTHING, I opened my cabinet to search for my old phone that I used on my last business, I dialed the person in charge I trust when I'm gone "hello Mr. K, I'm sorry I haven't been in touch, I want you guys to take a break for the time being" I wasn't afraid to talk to them since the voice is altered "eh? why are you using your old phone? is there some problem" he asked "my phone uhhmm.. it seems to have a problem with it" "are you sure it isn't lost?" he cut me off and with that being said all my system seems to stop "no, I think all of us just need a break, that's all I want to say, Thank you" and I cut off the call
I throw my phone at my bed, I search for the clothes I need to pack I need to get out of the city, I also count my cash that I always pile up here at my house, this is enough to last me years until college, but after that what should I do for a living? then my heart started pounding crazily when there's a knock at my door, I hid my suitcase under my bed, a couple of second the knocking stopped and knock again more aggresively, I hesitated at first, should I jump off the building? but I'm at the top floor, or maybe should I just punch the police? how did they find out I live here? I opened the door and prepare for the worst but I see no police at my door but Diamond, why is she here? "Ella laoshi said to check up on you since you didn't pick up her calls" "oh yeah my phone went flat sorry" as I'm closing the door she block the door with her feet "so no thank you? you know I came here all the way from school to my hous to yours you know, I also got you fruits" she then went inside, wait my apartment is a mess
"so uhm....uhh do you usually have your bra on the ground?" she looked at the bra laying around, what? I always clean my house, I kicked it to the side while she wonder around the apartment, she open the room where I hid my suitcase "hey don't.... it's messy" I said as I grabbed her wrist "okay okay, chill" she said and walk back to the sofa bed at the living room "this apartment is pretty decent, how can you afford this?" She said and it put me in halt "I work at some fast food chain" "oh! the one near the school?" I nodded to her and compose myself "but I didn't see you working there" "I'm night shift" I said while closing the laptop "I always study there but I haven't see you there" "maybe we are not meant to meet" I rebated, she stretch her body and lay down
"your apartment stinks, full of different fragrance of cologne" she said and close her eye, why the fuck is she here, is she planning on sleeping here? "why are you even here?" I said and huff seating at my working table "I'm here to sleep over duh" she said lifting her bag while she still on bed "what no! did you inform your parent that you are sleeping at strangers house??" "I already have alibi, don't worry"
Diamond's Pov
I know all the things she does, the scamming the money and I have no plan on calling the police but I actually want her to let me in that business, when I took a peak at her room her suitcase is obviously showing this idiot, so I lay down at her sofa bed and decided to tease her a bit, but I can't still move on from her under wears laying on the ground, her bust sure is hugeee, I'm not gonna lie I panicked for a second there "why are you even here?" "I'm here to sleep over duh" I said to her just to tease her but what's the harm sleeping here? I kinda want to play around with her "what no! did you inform your parent that you are sleeping at strangers house??" I want to laugh at her reaction, just by looking how she panicked is funny "I already have alibi, don't worry"
then she starts dragging me outside "you can't sleep here" she said still getting me out of bet to outside "wait wait wait" I said and she stopped "if I give this" I reach something inside my bag "here you go" I wave her phone on her face, she tried to grab it, but I retract it fast enough, she still tried to grab it but failed "no thank you?" I said to her "No give it back" she said still trying hard "just let me inside the job then I'll give it back, promise" " NO" she said rejecting me again "then no" I said back, she stop trying and pin me down out of nowhere "even if you rape me right here, right now I won't give the phone unless if you let me work and split 70-30" she sigh and get up "no way" "well even if you don't like it I'll still be sleeping here" I said as I tuck myself under the blanket "suit yourself, if you need anything I'll be inside that room" she said pointing at the door, we said our goodnight and proceed to sleep
'If something happened earlier what would I do after' those are my thought before sleeping, tomorrow will be better.... I hoped.
