MAXWELL UNIVERSITY ★» HALLWAY »★
Ariel stared at the photo of her sitting on the laps of an old man. She was putting on a stripper's outfit in a club and in the picture, they were in a hot kiss session.
• "Is that how low she can be?"
• "Isn't she rich?"
• "Why is she then working in a club?"
• "She's shameless"
• "Even if she wanted to do it, why with an old man?!"
• "She's a bítch, that's just it"
Ariel's eyes teared up as she listened to the bad words being said to her.
She looked up at Ashley who was still staring at the picture.
"I didn't do it. I don't even..."
"I never told you to explain anything. I believe my baby can't do this shit, it must be photoshopped" Ashley said and Ariel sniffed as a tear rolled down her eyelids.
"Leave the school!!!" A girl yelled throwing a book at her but Logan came and blocked the book from hitting her.
"What's going on?!" He asked and brought out his phone.
"Who's this?" He asked showing her the picture.
"I don't know but it's not me" Ariel said and started crying.
She wiped her tears and ran out of the hallway heading to the girl's suite.
She kicked the door open and they turned their gaze to her.
They were settled on different parts of the couches watching a movie.
"What brings you here?" Alexa asked.
"Why would you guys do that?!!!" Ariel yelled and Andrea chuckled.
"Do what?"
"It's very obvious that you idiots did this. You had to stoop so low to frame me didn't you?!" Ariel said and asked.
Alicia stood and smirked at Ariel.
"What are you going to do about it? You're a wh....." She didn't finish what she was saying when a kick met her jaw.
She fell down to the ground bleeding profusely out of her mouth.
"Framing me is one thing but calling me a whôre is something I won't accept!" Ariel said coldly.
Alexa rushed to Alicia and Andrea stood coming to Ariel.
"Stay away from Logan and Conrad, obey us and don't object to anything we say or do. Only then will you live in this school happily" Andrea said and Ariel frowned.
"That's something that would never happen." Ariel said and started leaving.
"Then I'd make sure you leave this school" Andrea said and Ariel halted.
She turned a side view of her face and smirked.
"I would love to see you try" Ariel said and left the suite.
Andrea wanted to kick a table but she controlled herself.
She screamed before punching the table.
"Andrea!" Alexa called and Andrea looked back.
Alexa was raising Alicia up while Alicia cleaned the blood on her mouth.
"We need daddy's help. We can't do this all by ourselves" Alexa said.
"She's right" Alicia said and spat out blood.
"I'd have a word with Dad after school, we'd take her out of this school" Andrea said with a smirk.
Alexa and Alicia smiled.
★» ROOFTOP »★
Ariel closed the door behind her before walking further into the rooftop.
She got to the rails and stared down at the people moving up and down before sighing.
"Why can't I just have peace of mind in this school?" Ariel asked.
"They're scared you'd become better than them" Conrad who was sitting on a chair said and Ariel turned.
She blinked and he stood up.
"That picture is a lie" She said.
"I know. You don't have to explain yourself" He said and she let out a small smile.
"Thank you" She said.
"I don't need it" He said and she bit her lips.
She faced the rails again and stared at the people.
"We'd meet here by 6pm to start the project" He said and she nodded.
"Okay" She mumbled and he looked at her.
"Stop staring" She said and turned to go but he held her back.
"What's with the attitude?" He asked.
"You get to act that way, why can't I?!" She asked and pulled out of his grip.
"That's how I am" He said and she scoffed walking out of the rooftop.
He stared at the door of the rooftop before smirking.
★» 2PM »★
Ariel was in the kitchen making herself some snacks before coming to settle down on the bed.
She brought out her phone and went to movie box to watch her favourite movie - Legacies.
She smiled as she stuffed her mouth with the snack she made.
Ashley was in class but she was free.
She heard a knock on the door and she paused the show before looking at the door.
"Who's that?" She asked.
"Logan" He said and she smiled before opening the door with her voice.
He stepped in and she closed the door with her voice.
"Hey. What brings you here?" Ariel said and stuffed her mouth with one of the snack.
"Just wanted us to hang out now since I'd be busy in the evening with the project stuff" He said and she muttered an 'oh'.
"So what are you doing?"
"Currently watching legacies. The combination of vampires, werewolves and witches in a school. Then they're different creatures roaming inside the forest since the school is close to a forest." Ariel said.
"That sounds nice. But then why are you watching it?" He asked.
"I love the creatures that's why" She said.
"You mean you fancy all these creatures?"
"Yup. They look so nice and fun" Ariel said and Logan just stared at her.
"That's cool" He muttered.
"But then could we go to the school garden?? We can't stay in your room yunno" He said and she nodded.
"Let's go" Ariel said pocketing her phone before getting up from the bed with the bowl of cookies.
"You're coming with that?" He asked and she nodded.
"I'm hungry yunno" She said and opened the door with her voice. She walked out of the room and stopped facing him.
He chuckled before coming to meet her at the door.
"Close" She said and the door closed.
"Let's go" He said and they both left the hallway.
Alicia sighted them and frowned before walking away.
★» GARDEN »★
Ariel and Logan were walking through the garden and she bursted into a loud laughter.
"You said you wouldn't laugh" He said.
"I couldn't hold it in" She said admist her laugh.
He smiled staring at the bowl on his hands.
He looked at her and he pulled her cheek.
She chuckled looking up at him.
"You look so cute" He said and she smiled.
"Thanks" She said and pulled his cheek.
"You're cute" She said and he chuckled. He let go of her cheek and she did same.
"Sorry about what has been happening to you lately" He said and she smiled settling down on the grass.
"It's no problem. I can handle it" She said and he sat on the ground too opposite her.
"I'd find a way to bring down the pictures" He said and she got a message.
She brought out her phone and checked the message. It was from Ashley.
~"The pictures has been brought down"
