Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 11 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? Leavealone. 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 toif 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 up comedian? How does she cup 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. Smessaged her nasty insults, and seven 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 cto 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 cto scout for new talents, and wealthy students from the school's other departments cto 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.

Zelena got a role as the female lead in a music video through Samson in her sophomore year, even before graduating. Although she didn't have many scenes, it was a rare opportunity for a newcomer to get ex video. There weren't many, but they were loyal.

Those fans supported Zelena for several years until she blew up in the entertainment industry. They helped her with data analysis in the early stages, and she used it to her advantage. She had the best publicity among all the newcomers, and it laid a solid foundation for her debut.

Violeta strangely felt that Zelena's road to popularity had gone too smoothly in her previous life. Zelena had never taken a single misstep. It was as if she was following a script. At the time, Violeta attributed it to Zelena's intelligence and good luck, as if the heavens were on her side.

However, Violeta understood in this life that Zelena wasn't lucky. It was because Zelena had stolen her life! When Violeta cto the auditorium to attend freshman orientation in her past life, she noticed a one inch photo on the ground at the entrance.

Everyone thought it was trash, but Violeta was curious and was about to pick it up. But Zelena unexpectedly stepped on the photo with her foot and pushed Violeta aside by pretending to speak to her.

At that time, Violeta wanted to establish a good relationship with Zelena, so she disregarded Zelena's actions. Still, Violeta never thought that Zelena would pick the photo up! The one-inch photo was a picture of Samson's daughter! Samson had kept it close to him in his wallet, but he accidentally lost it and was anxiously looking for it. Zelena used the photo as an opportunity to get to know Samson, and he subsequen This opportunity originally belonged to Violeta, but Zelena had taken it away from her in her previous life. Zelena was reborn and knew what would happen. Hence, she stole Violeta's opportunity for herself. Looking back now, there were indeed too many coincidences. Zelena intercepted everycrucial opportunity that slipped through Violeta's fingers. This time, she wouldn't give Zelenal that chance again! As Violeta entered the auditorium, she noticed the one- inch photo in the corner before entering. Violeta turned and saw Zelena also searching for the photo. Perhaps Zelena had at foggy memory and didn't remember the photo's exact location, unlike Violeta. Zelen Violeta quickly walked over and picked up the photo from the ground. She wanted to look at the girl in the picture, but Zelena ran up and reached out to snatch it from her before she could do so.

"Sis, what do you have there? Letsee!" Zelena tried to grab it but didn't expect Violeta to hold it so tightly. Besides, a one-inch photo was tiny. Hence, Zelena failed to snatch it.

Violeta glanced at her disgustedly. "Is it any of your business?" Violeta stepped forward and was about to enter the auditorium.

Zelena persisted. She couldn't give up this opportunity to get to know Samson! "Sis, please lettake a look," Violeta ignored Zelena and didn't even look at her. She treated Zelena as if she were invisible. As Violeta was about to enter the auditorium, Zelena panicked and devised a plan. She shouted, "Thief!" Violeta was dumbfounded,

At that moment, everyone's attention shifted towards them. Zelena pointed at Violeta's a's hand and pretended to be aggrieved. "Sis, please return it to me. It's mine!" Violeta couldn't conceal the disgust in her eyes. Zelena is so shameless! "What did I take from you?" "The photo in your hand is mine." Violeta sneered, "Is it really yours? Are you certain?"

Many were entering the auditorium at that moment. A crowd gathered to prowd witness the spectacle since Zelena was causing a scene at the entrance.

Zelena made herself seem very weak. In contrast to Violeta's cold and forceful demeanor, Zelena appeared to be a victim being bullied in this situation. Others quickly sympathized with her.
