Zach walked close to her as he rested on a locker next to hers.
"Can I help you?" Ariana asked."So you're the girl that insulted my girlfriend right?""Yeah"."Look girl, you're playing with fire and you're the one who's gonna end up getting burned" Zach facial expression darkened as his voice was as cold as ice."We'll see who gets burned" Ariana said with a chilly tone.Jeff walked to her as he glanced at Zach and glanced back at Ariana."Ariana, who's this guy?" Jeff asked with curiosity in his voice."I don't know him. Let's go". Ari dragged Jeff before he could utter another word.Zach on the other hand couldn't control his temper as his gaze is fixed on Ari's back. Everyone in this school knows Zach and now Ariana is telling a new kid that she doesn't know who he is. He's going to deal with her in this school.Ariana dragged Jeff to her usual spot in school as they both sat down on the bench."Do you know what you just did?" Jeff asked."What did I do?""That's Zach Wilson. How could you say you don't know him...""Wait you know that son of a bitch?""Yeah. Everyone in this town know him. You don't seem to like him...""I don't like him. Why would any girl like a monster like him, of all guys in this planet"."Forget about that. So about the seminar..."The two of them sat down as they did some research and shared their ideas about the project they have at hand.They studied pass school hours until they decided to go home and continued from where they stopped the next day as the time has gone far."Do you mind if I walk you home?I just want to make sure you arrive home safely" Jeff added. Ariana smiled. Hanging out and studying with Jeff is not that bad. Jeff is a cool guy, maybe she should just give him a chance."Yeah. Let me use the bathroom, I'll be back in a second.Ariana ran to the ladies bathroom in school. As she walked inside, a strong arm grabbed her and covered her eyes. She heard the door lock.Ariana's heart skipped a beat as she shivered. The hand covering her eyes left her eyes as she glanced at her surrounding. She's in the bathroom with 5 men and... ZACH."Hello there" Zach waved his hand with a smirk on his face as he sat down there like an evil king. Ariana rolled her eyes as she gave him a digusted look. She hates bullies."Do I know you?" Ari asked with a raised eyebrow.Zach face darkened as he stood up from the chair. He had a dangerous smile on his face as he squatted before Ariana. He landed a hot slap on Ari's face that made her hit her head on the ground.Zach used his fingers to lift her chin to make her face him. Ariana gazed at him in anger with her bleeding lips."Aww, just look at you. Aren't you cute" Zach fluttered his long lashes as he chuckled.Ariana felt digusted as she spat out the blood in her mouth to his face. Zach scoffed as he brought out his handkerchief and wiped his face.He stood up and walked to the door. He whispered something into the man standing by the door before leaving the bathroom. Ariana wiped her lips with her hands.She heard the sound of belt unbuckling and she raised up her head. Zach walked back to the bathroom with a smile."Anyway have a good time tonight" he said and left the bathroom.She saw those men taking off their clothes and reality strucked her. She's about to be RAPED!Jeff waited in the hallway in school but still Ariana didn't come out."Maybe she already left" he said with a sad tone. He waited a few more minutes but still, Ariana still did not show up. Just when he was about to leave, he found someone strolling in the school. "Hey excuse me?" he hurriedly ran and tapped the person's shoulder. Zach stopped in his traps and he turned around."Hey, sorry for disturbing you...have you seen any black girl. Actually have you seen Ariana? the girl you were talking to earlier this morning?""No" Zach answered and he left.Jeff paced around the hallway till he decided to go look for her in the bathroom.***********Meanwhile, in the bathroom, Ariana's heart pondered as fear gripped her. She never knew that anyone on this planet could do this to her. She doesn't want this, she just wanna go home and meet her family and she also want Jeff to walk her home this evening.The sound of belt unbuckling shook her out of her thoughts. She has to get out of here.
The light of the the sun woke Ariana. She groan and slowly opened her eyes. Shit, the sun is up and she can't make it in time to go deliver milk and newspapers. She reached for the bedside table to get her phone but her hand couldn't find it. She sat up on the bed and strectched her arms but she felt pains all over her body and a headache. Suddenly what happened the previous night replayed in her head. She was almost raped or was she raped? her body hurt so bad. The last thing she remembered is her head bleeding. She just wished that this is all a dream and she doesn't want to wake up. She would rather die than to wake up and face the fact that she was raped and she has to live like that for the rest of her life. If this is all a dream, she won't be able to feel pain but her body hurt and she has a severe headache. So she isn't dreaming, she's awake. Her eyes sting and hot tears streamed down her face as she fell to the ground.What's the use of living? the only thing that she can b
Ariana came out of the bathroom and she saw the sweater on the bed. She felt a bit refreshed after having a bathe. She put on the sweater and came out of the room and she headed to the living room.She noticed something about Jeff's apartment. There's no one else apart from the two of them. She found it odd and suspicious."Hey, come eat" Jeff stated when he saw her walk into the living room. She saw Jeff bringing out a flask from a nylon. She walks to the dining table and sat down on a chair. Jeff opened the flask and gave her a spoon. "Dig in" he smiled.She collected the spoon from his hand and smiled back at him. She's grateful that Jeff came to her rescue and all that but...she started to suspect him. Where is his family? why is he living alone? is he a kidnapper? She has so many questions running in her brain and she felt scared. She looked at the delicious soup in front of her. Is it poison?"Hey eat before it gets cold" Jeff said. His voice jolted her from her thoughts."Jeff,
Ariana stared into his eyes trying to read him after mentioning the I like you word. She couldn't read his expression so she focussed her eyes on something else in the living room."I promise that I'll visit your family to make sure that they're okay" he assured her. "Since you're here, we should be working on our seminar project about jazz music" he smiled.*******Monday came quickly and Ariana recuperated well. She quickly left for her home before going to school. She prepared breakfast for her family and left for school. When she arrived at school, she didn't feel anybody's gaze on her nor anyone giggling and gossiping about her. Since she has skipped school for a week, people no longer notices her. She felt a bit calm. For the first time in her life, she felt like she belonged in this school, she felt like everybody else. Everytime she walk into the school, there's one gossip going on about her round the school and she's always the one that the spoiled brat in the school always
Chairman Jack took a stroll into his school. It has been a while since he step foot on his school. He got dressed as an average man because he doesn't want to attract attention. He met with some teachers and exchanged pleasantries and he inspected the school to see how the school is faring. He took note of some things that the school want and also talked to some kid to hear their opinion.He strolled to a quiet place in the school. His late wife liked that particular area in the school. He arrived at his destination and he still found that place as quiet as ever. He say down on a bench and started reminiscing memories of him and his late wife. Alice was the one who convinced him to build a School."I want to build a school. I want to build a place for kids to gain education" Alice always says and smile. Jack build this school for his late wife but she didn't stay alive for long to see this school so he named it after her. "Alice international high School".He closed his eyes as he e
Good morning sir" Ariana greeted and smiled. Jack saw another quality of Alice in her. Alice is respectful to elders and she always has a warm and bright smile on her face. He suddenly has an interest in this little angel."Why are you crying here all alone?" he brought out an handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to her."Thank you" she wiped her tears with the handkerchief. "It's just that I hurt my knee but it's nothing serious" Ariana lied."It didn't look like you hurt your knee. Here, take this" Jack removed the jacket that he's wearing and gave it to Ariana. "Cover yourself" he added."It's not necessary, you might catch a cold" she pushed his hand with a smile on her face. It's not okay to accept an old man's jacket. What if the wind blows, he might catch a cold."You need it more than I do" he covered her thigh with his jacket."Thank you" she said with warmth. This man reminded her of her father. Her father is just as caring as this man."So tell me child, what happened
Ariana worked overtime in her workplace as she's trying to get her mind off what happened at school. What's the point of going to school and live a life of humiliation. After all, next week she'll be kicked out of school so she should just focus on getting her mom treated. She left work in the evening and strolled to the chemist where she normally buy drugs for her mother."Good to see you Ari" Bella, the nurse greeted "Hi" Ariana smiled."Dear you look exhausted" she said and she fetch the drugs that Ari normally buys for her mother.*Tell me about it, it has been a tough day" Ariana sighs."Make sure to get some rest when you get home" she advised and Ariana nodded her head. "You still haven't taken your mother to the hospital?" Bella asked."Nah I still haven't made enough money to send her to the hospital and I got other house expenses to deal with" Ariana furrowed her brows as she complained. Bella felt sorry for Ariana. She's just a sweet girl who is looking out for her family
Ariana did her morning routine of delivery milk and newspapers and she headed to the coffee shop where she worked after she finished delivery milk. Evening came quickly and Ariana rushed to the gas station where she worked as a pump attendant. She finished her day job and she received her pay. She smiled as she counted her day's pay. If she continued working like this, she will be able to send her mom to the hospital.She strolled happily home. She wanted to take the bus but that'll consume money so she decided to walk home. She sighted a limousine across the road, she found the limousine suspicious as the car keeps following her. She halted in her track and the limousine stopped. She felt alerted and she ran still it followed her. Ariana tripped and fell on the ground as she panted. Who on Earth is following her? and what do the person wants from her? "Could it be Zach?" she mumbled and gasped.The door of the limousine opened and a strong bodied man came out of the passenger seat.
