Se connecterElsa gasped, her eyes widening as she watched blood gush from Chris’s head. Her hands trembled in her lap, goosebumps rising over her skin as terror gripped her. It was her first time seeing someone bleed, and compared to what she had imagined, the reality was far more horrifying.“What’s with the mood? Never seen someone bleed before?” Jasper sneered, completely unbothered despite the fear written across everyone’s faces.“Really?” Jake asked, his tone edged.“You were acting too slow. I couldn’t keep feeding my eyes with such a repulsive sight,” Jasper replied, then dropped his gaze to Elsa. “Are you okay, Pumpkin?” He asked.Swallowing hard, Elsa nodded, her gaze lowered.“Good. Now I feel better,” Jasper said, turning his back on Jake.“Get someone to clean this mess up!” he ordered, then added, “Does anyone still want to have fun, or are we done here?”No one answered. They simply shook their heads and began to disperse. Two guys stepped forward, lifting Chris’s body and carrying
“What is it? We are having fun here, smile for us!!” the instigator yelled as they kept pushing her toward the pool.“No, I…” Elsa tried protesting, but her words were swallowed by the roaring cheers of the crowd. Her heart began to race wildly, each beat louder than the last. She glanced toward the entrance, hoping, praying, that Jake would appear.As much as she hated to admit it, he was the only one who could save her right now.“Make way for the new Queen of the infamous Jake!” the guy shouted, and people in the pool began climbing out one by one.“Push her in!”“Let her have a bath!!”Laughter overlapped with cheers, the noise swelling until it felt suffocating.Just a few steps away, Piper stood watching, a faint frown settling on her face. Stepping in would cost her Lily’s favor, and she couldn’t risk that. Not now, not when she had finally regained control on campus.“Whoosh!!”Slipping through the crowd, the instigator shoved Elsa from behind.The world tilted.Elsa barely ha
Elsa dropped her hands to her cheeks, gasping in shock. Her heart began to race, goosebumps rising across her skin. Memories of the past abuse surfaced, and her body started to tremble.“If Father finds out you were alone with a man, what do you think will happen?!” Lily yelled.Stammering, Elsa tried to speak. “I…I…” She struggled to form the words.Lily stared at her with repulsion, scoffing as her furious gaze raked over her. She raised her hand, about to land another slap, when Jake suddenly blocked it, gripping her wrist and stopping her midair.“Face me instead. I was the one who followed her,” he said, giving Lily a knowing smile. Her gaze immediately darkened.Scoffing in disbelief, she said, “How long will you keep protecting her? Would you take her in if our father disowns her? Or are you planning to go back on your word and marry her instead?” She glared hard at him.“I am the reason she came here. Is checking up on her so bad?” Jake said, releasing her hand.“Checking up o
Elsa quickly looked away, scolding herself for staring. She really needed to stop spying on them whenever they were being intimate.“Look who it is!” A voice suddenly called out.Before she could even recognize it, someone dropped onto the couch beside her.Elsa turned her head and froze. It was the guy from that day. Jasper.“Now, now, don’t give me that look. You are making me look bad,” Jasper said, placing a hand on his chest as if he were offended.“I didn’t,” she muttered softly.But with the loud music blasting through the room, Jasper couldn’t hear her. He leaned closer to catch what she said, and Elsa instinctively turned toward him, accidentally brushing a quick peck against his cheek.Startled, she immediately leaned back, her eyes widening with worry.“Can I get another peck?” Jasper asked shamelessly, tapping the other side of his cheek.“I am sorry, it was a mistake,” she said quickly, speaking louder this time though the music still drowned most of it out. Jasper watche
Upon returning to her dorm, Elsa found her roommates already waiting for her.“I don’t want to go. Can I stay back?” She asked, her body aching all over.“No way!” Piper exclaimed.“Is there a particular reason?” Piper added, eyeing her curiously.Elsa hesitated. “I just don’t feel good and I…”Piper suddenly grabbed her shoulders. “Oh, I get it. Social anxiety.” She smiled knowingly.Elsa opened her mouth to explain, but Piper cut her off again. “Don’t worry. I will make sure no one disturbs you. You just have to sit quietly and wait for us.”“Okay… Now go get something sexy to wear,” Piper urged, turning her around and nudging her toward her bunk.Sexy?The word instantly put Elsa on alert. It felt foreign to her. All her clothes were either long nanny gowns or simple skirts and blouses. She didn’t own anything that could be considered sexy.“I don’t have any,” she said, turning back to Piper.Piper’s eyes twitched slightly as she lifted a set of clothes and waved them in front of
“Next up, our second newbie and me,” Jake announced, pointing at Elsa with a smirk.Shocked, Elsa widened her eyes, staring at him like she was waiting for him to revert his words.“She is as good as dead.”“Is this not bullying?”People murmured, shooting Elsa pitiful glances. No one stared at her resentfully anymore; instead, they looked like they were willing to replace her if they could.“What are you waiting for? Come out,” the student who was second in command to Jake ordered.“I can’t,” Elsa muttered, barely audible as gasps rippled through the crowd.“If you refuse, you will be kicked out of the club. What’s it going to be?” Jake said, causing Elsa’s heart to skip a beat. She couldn’t be kicked out on the first day, not after risking everything to join the club. It was just a duel; she wouldn’t die from it. The worst that could happen was for her to be crippled or badly injured. There was no way she was defeating Jake with her weak body.Having no other choice, she stepped to
