Chapter 7

"What?" Ashely asked and Ariel smiled.
"That same day, I reported him to the police but they didn't do anything because he had a brother in the police station. That night, I was laying on the bed crying my hearts out. And that same night, I felt a presence in the room but I didn't have the strength to start asking who it was so I just ignored it. I cried till I fell asleep. The next morning, I went to drink water when my mum called me. I was shocked when I found out from the news that he was dead" She said and Ashley's eyes widened.
"Are you serious?" Ashley asked.
"Yes. I was shocked and I asked the teachers what happened and they said he died a mysterious death." She said.
"That's scary. But it's good because he wouldn't be a problem anymore" Ashley said.
"Exactly" Ariel replied and Ashley's phone and everyone else's phone chimed.
They all checked and their eyes widened.
"An exclusive movie night happening tonight outside campus. Everyone's invited excluding Ariel Chen" Ashley read out and she looked up at Ariel who was arranging her locker.
"I won't go if you're not going" Ashley said and Ariel closed her locker.
"How's the movie night going to be?" Ariel asked.
"Well, there's going to be an endless supply of refreshments, we aren't sitting to watch the movie. It's like a bed where we lay and watch and it lasts till 12am. So fun" Ashley gushed and Ariel smiled.
"I can't deprive you of that fun. Go, I'll be alright" Ariel said and Ashley pouted.
"I'm serious, go and have fun." Ariel said and Ashley hugged her.
"I'm sorry"
"Don't apologize. You did nothing wrong" Ariel said breaking the hug.
"It's time you take me on a tour around the school." Ariel said and Ashley smiled.
"Let's go" Ashley said and they linked arms as they walked out of the hallway.

The door opened and the three girls walked in. The guy from earlier opened his eyes and when his gaze landed on them, he sat up slowly.
"I see you're injured" Andrea said with a small smirk.
"I was able to inflict pain on Ariel. I should get the reward" Andy, the guy said.
"I said immense pains" Andrea said.
"As long as I was able to bring tears to her eyes and wound to her body, I deserve part of the reward" He said and the girls gave him a stare before smiling.
"Fine. I'd give you 500,000 Dollars." Andrea said and brought out the cash from her pocket handing it to him.
He smiled taking the cash from her.
"Do more next time" Alicia said.
"There won't be a next time. Aren't you seeing my injured face? That new kid got some guts and I'm going to make him pay for what he did" Andy said counting the money.
"You dare not lay your hands on that guy" Alexa and Andrea said at the same time.
"Why?" Andy asked.
"The reason is best known to us both. Just don't lay your hands on him else, we'd make you pay" Andrea and Alexa said again.
"Fine"
"But if you want someone to take the blame, then Ariel is the best person to do so." Alicia said.
"You mean I should still hurt her?" He asked.
"If you can. Today is game night and she isn't invited. Shoot your shot to get enough money" Andrea said and the guy let out a small smile.
★» CHEN'S COOPERATION »★
Taylor was seen signing some paper work in the office when her secretary came in.
"Yes?" Taylor said looking up.
"You have a visitor" Windy said.
"Let the person in!" She said and Windy bowed before leaving.
The door opened and a lady walked in.
"Tay Tay" Briskey, the lady called and Taylor looked up.
"Briskey" Taylor said and stood rushing to give her a tight hug.
"How have you been?" Taylor asked breaking the hug.
"I've been good. What about you?" Briskey said.
"I'm great"
"How's Ariel?" She asked as they went to settle down on the couch in the office.
"She's good. She finally called me mum" Taylor squealed and Briskey chuckled.
"I'm glad to see you happy. Is she in college now?" Briskey asked.
"Yes. Maxwell University" She said and Briskey looked at her sharply.
"Why there?"
"It's because the school is good. The teachers there are well mannered and educated. I like the school" Taylor said with a smile.
"I liked it too but then do you know anything about the students?" She asked.
"Well she told me about these girls. The daughters of the richest man in Australia" Taylor said.
"Damn, those girls are bítches. They deal with students however they want and no teacher is allowed to intervene because they own the school" She said.
"My daughter will avoid them"
"What if she doesn't?"
"She will"
"Yunno how your daughter is. She's a no nonsense person and she's very blunt. She doesn't follow stupid rules and that alone is gonna attract the girls to her" Briskey said and she rubbed her eyes brows.
"Okay what then? What will they do?"
"They'd kill her" Briskey said and Taylor turned to her sharply with wide eyes.
"What?!"
8PM ★» GAME NIGHT »★
"How do I look?" Ashley asked doing a little turn.
"Beautiful. But you're aware you're going for a movie and not on a date with someone" Ariel said and Ashley pouted.
"Help me select clothes please" Ashley pleaded.
"Alright" Ariel said and walked to her closet. She went through her clothes and she brought out a black fitted shirt and a black high waist jean.
"Put these on" She said and Ashley took it from her going to the restroom.
She changed into the clothes and came out with a smile on her face.
"Thanks a lot" Ashley said and Ariel smiled.
"My pleasure" Ariel said and handed her a white pair of sneakers.
Ariel felt a presence and she turned but saw nothing earning a groan from her.
