Chapter 14

Chapter 14

My heart feels heavy bumping to my chest as we approach the dark corner of the cafeteria. I felt goosebumps as Sharon and Valerie near the camera in my face. They were filming the whole thing.

The girls are the queens here so, of course, the cook would let us in. But I don't have a good feeling about this place. All I know is that I am doing this for Trexie.

They let me sit in a chair while Clarisse looked for the tie in the boxes as Kerry had ordered.

"Sit! If you refuse to do it you know exactly what's gonna happen to Trexie," Ariane pushed me.

I sat down and fixed my position. Now, Clarisse was tying me up and there was this lunchbox she opened.

"Heres your lunch," Clarisse said.

I gulped my saliva. Yuck! It was rotten food in there. And they want me to eat it? What the!

"You know the consequence of what you did," Kerry faced me.

"What did I do?" I asked innocently.

"First of all, interrupting my conversation with the target AND!" her voice rose. "Talking with my man." I guess she was talking about Khai.

"He was the one who approached me first," I confessed.

"Bitch!" Ariane shouted at me. Now Ariane looked at me with rage. " And who do you think you are? You're just a dirty rug, why would my brother talk to waste like you!" she yelled.

And who do you think you are to call me -- I shut my mouth. I just realized I am making it worse if I am spitting the truth. Not to say, I don't have to mention Khai or they'll know it. Especially Kerry who was grinding her teeth in the corner looking at me devilishly.

"You should thank us, we are offering good food for you unlike the past visitors we had, they had to eat maggots," Kerry laughed as the others match theirs.

Maggots? What the-

I bowed my head and looked at the lunchbox in front of me.

Yuck! I can't bear to look. It's rotten!

"Eat it!" Kerry ordered. "Make sure you're recording everything here, girls," Kerry then said to Valerie and Sharon as they loyally nodded their heads. Fools.

"I don't want to eat it," I refused.

"Then maybe Trexie will do it for you," Ariane answered.

We looked at each other. I was giving her the shit look to not touch Trexie but guess what she rolled her eyes. What a shame for a beautiful girl to be a fool.

"How can I eat it if my hands are tied," I asked looking straight at Kerry. It was supposed to be a trick to get away but.

Kerry approached me and circle me. "Maybe you want me to feed you?" She says then stopped right at my back. "Eat it!" She held my head and smashed in on the rotten food. All I could do was close my eyes and hold my breath as I just smell the hell of good that is.

Ewww!

"Congratulations Samantha, you just become the dirtiest girl in the school." Ariane clapped her hands. "And if anyone will know this, you know what's gonna happen next," she added while they all walked out. "Let's go girls!" Leaving me behind.

They even closed the lights. There was no, brightness that I can rely on except the sunshine from the outside beaming on the holes. I guess this is the stockroom of the cafeteria.

No one would hear me if I'll scream so I just stay put until the cook came in after seconds. My heart started to beat fast again as she approaches. She was holding a damn knife!

I started to think about how to fight her if ever she try to kill me. Everything unimaginable can happen anytime, especially since she is in the company of the girls in doing this kind of idea.

But then she only used it to cut the ties around me and let me free.

After I went out. I found myself a laughing stock by everyone at the cafeteria. I can see the girls looking at me gathered at one table as other students laughed. I closed my eyes in embarrassment until a guy pulled me out of place.

"What did they do to you?" Norton asked as I wipe my face and fixed my messy hair.

"Nothing, they let me eat a rotten sandwich."

"Rotten? You ate it?" Norton acted as he care. It was his fault to left me a while ago!

I looked at him. "I have no choice," I lied.

"Sam, you could be poisoned!" He said in shock.

I just shrugged my shoulders but then he stood and walk out in rage. "Norton no! Just leave it!" I shouted but he kept on walking with his fist closed tight.

I rushed to stop him but he ignored me and kept it till he entered the cafeteria. I stepped back. I don't want to go in. I don't-

All I could hear was the yelling inside. I think Norton just got into a fight.

Then. "What are you doing here?" Khai passed by me walking by the hall.

I looked at him. And with anger at what just happened now, I slapped him.

"Why don't you just die!" I screamed and walked away. I went back to my classroom in Europe and bowed my head while I cry.

I just can't believe that in the blink of an eye. I was back again to the past. I was ruined. I just got into trouble. It just started. I feel like it's all my fault again.

"S-s-sam?" I can hear someone saying my name.

I lifted my head. "Trexie?" I wiped my tears as all I see is a blurry vision of her.

It is Trexie. "Are you okay?" she asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine." I smiled pretending I was in a good mood.

"I am sorry," Trexie started to cry. Our classmates started to look at us.

"Don't be, it's not your fault," I said as I stop her.

By that, I know a video clip of mine is being disseminated in the school. I got to say. Kerry Hulston made the big mistake of messing with this girl.

So yes, to make it more understandable. I have to make a clear confession with you.

See in the past years, I did quite the mistake of not being a good student and a good child. I broke the laws, the rules, the regulations, the face of my past schools. That was because of everything that is happening in my entire life especially my parents. I had to pamper myself in bars, with the liquors and champagne, I felt great joining sisterhoods of the street gangs. It was all in the past but I think I'm going back again.

It has just started and what can I say. I think I have to finish it.

I took my phone then I looked at Trexie who was sitting beside me. "You know what? Let's be good friends from now on," I said popping my hand to have a shakey with hers.

"Wha- what do you mean," Trexie stared at me.

I grabbed her hand and shook it myself.

Then going back to my phone, I posted in the school forum- TREXIE AND I JUST BECOME FRIENDS.

Norton came looking for me after classes who just came from the guidance from detention of fighting in the cafeteria. He had bruises on his face. He said his brother and Karl were in it too.

"How about Khai?" I cared to ask since he saw the fight.

Norton lifted his eyebrow looking at me confused. "Dude, what was that for?" he asked.

"What?"

"See I fought for you, and you don't even ask how I feel but instead Khai?" He confirmed asking me but he misunderstood it.

"No, what I mean is tell me if he died in the fight so I can celebrate," I corrected.

Norton wiggled his head. "No, he just stood there watching us. Anyway, what are you doing?" he asked me.

"What?" I reluctantly answered his shift of topic.

"You know you are getting yourself into trouble in that post right?" Norton warned but I ignored it.

"I just got into trouble Norton and I'm doing it again and again," I seriously told him tilting my head.

Probably, he doesn't know it but doesn't need to know it anyway.

Then I just received a phone notification. It was a text message from an unknown number saying- MARK WILL PICK YOU UP.

I hid it after reading.

"I'm sorry for getting you into a fight today, I'll make it up tomorrow," I said.

"Are we not going together," he asked following me down to the stairs out of the building.

"No, I did not bring my bike this morning," I speed talk trying to get rid of him.

But he keeps on following me.

"What do you mean, did it break to no good?"

"No," I answered with an act of ignore.

"So will your mom pick you up?"

"No."

"Sam, what's your problem?" Norton held my hand. I stopped and removed it immediately.

Then suddenly, a car approached us both. He opened the window. It was uncle Mark who came to pick me up as dad said.

"Time to go Ms," Mark told me. He was on the glasses and chewing gum.

"Who is that?" Norton asked in confusion.

"He's a driver," I answered taking the door and getting in.

"You have a driver? I didn't know."

I looked up at him by the window.

"There are many things that you do not know about me Norton," I smiled at him. "Let's go," I told Mark.
