Ch. 5

Ariel Maire P.O.V:

I answered the door. I gasp when I see the three girls on the front porch standing there smiling at me.

Then I realized it was the three girls at the party the other night. I see the one Ethan was trying to kiss and grab, but she told him off. She has bright blonde curly hair with brown eyes. She might be 5'1 or 5'0.

 She short likes me. Then I see the other girls.  I think they could be twins, but they have different hair colors. One has brown hair and green eyes, and the other has black hair with blue eyes. They are all three beautiful with glasses. Like me, well, not the beautiful part, but he has glasses. I wonder why they're here. But then I see in their hands stuff in boxes and their suitcase on the ground right beside them in front of me.

They look nervous and upset at the same time. I don't blame them. I see why they look that way. I was there two weeks ago. Since I've been in here. I have seen half-naked and naked women running around the house. The guy is trying to get me to sleep with them and do their homework. I have been pulled and shoved out of the bathroom. I saw them fight and drink. They like to party. I have barely seen them study or had a schoolbook open on the table.  I sighed. I don't know how they pass any classes if they're not studying. I know if the classrooms have naked girls and beer. They would pass then. I shook my head, thinking about them. I saw the girl open her mouth and speak. I didn't hear her, but I saw her lips moving.

Huh," I asked her. 

"Oh, the blonde girl said. Hi, my name is Alexis, and this Wendy and Maya, she pointed at the girls beside her. I stared at these girls at the party the other night. So, I smiled at them. I think we're going to be great friends, I thought. I like them. Maybe this is better since they are here with me. 

"Hi, welcome here." My name is Ariel Marie. I said with a smile. Their expression was not bitchy or anything. But I know they don't want to be here. As I said, I don't blame these ladies. Hell, I want to leave here myself. I have no privacy when the guys play tricks on me and take my stuff. 

"Hello," they all said together. 

"So, what brings you here, ladies. I asked with a smile.

I saw the blonde-haired girl named Alexis Ethan, who talked at the party and tried to take her up to his room. But she hit him. But I did see she kind of liked it when the man was holding her that night at the party. 

"Well, we're supposed to live here said Wendy with black hair, shying away with red cheeks. I see that she is the shy one and quiet. Aaron will like her. Hmm, maybe I can let them meet. See what will happen. Yeah, just maybe. I know they would be perfect for each other. I thought with a smile when she said that. Oh, great, I am not the only girl here. I am tired of their homework and picking on me. I'm glad I got these girls here. Then the guys won't mess with me anymore. Thank God.

"We didn't want to be here, The one with the name Maya said. 

Yeah, the stupid old fart, the dean, told us our rooms are gone. So, now here we are." Alexis said with an angry expression on her face, with her hand showing emotion toward them. Yeah, they got the same thing that happens to me that happens to them. This suck. This sucks. Especially with the Wright Brothers torture me for two weeks. One, they would have sex in their room with me on the other side of the room. Something they would share with a girl or two. But they would do it on purpose. I hate hearing them at night with the girls. I would hear my heartbreak. I don't have any idea why I started having feelings for them.

 I should get out and walk out the door or yell at the girls to leave. Or better yet, go over to their side of the room and drag that bimbo out of the bed. But I didn't, I was quiet as a mouse. I would pretend I was asleep. When they were having sex. I remember listening to them; I would pretend it was me in the bed with them. But then I open my eyes. I would cry when it was just a dream. But sometimes I would feel my bed move. But I never open my eyes to find out if anyone was there. I always felt them grab my waist and pull me into their chest. But it was only a dream.

 "This sucks", Wendy said. Then she got quiet. Then Sshespoke again.

" I know how lives here too. She spoke. Then her face started turning pale. Then I saw her handshaking.  She is acting like someone is going to hurt her or something. I thought.  What's wrong with her, I wonder. What or who got her so afraid?. I don't know, but I will find out. But first,t I am going to try to make friends with these girls. Maybe I can make friends here. So, I didn't have friends. Because I was bullied in elementary school, all through high school.

I am glad I don't go to school with the people anymore. They were horrible to me. I hope I never see Andrew and Seth again. They were the worst. They would lock me down and throw me into the pool and dunk my head. They tried to hurt me one time outside a party I went to. I regret it. Because that was the night I almost lost my virginity. They both try to rape me. But thank God, some guy at the party stops them. They are both in jail now. Serving a year. I hope they don't get out. I started shaking, thinking about them.

Hey! I heard Alexis said taking her hand into my face.

I blinked, and I came back from the past I was thinking about.

"Huh?" I speak.

You alright, their Ariel Maire?" Alexis said.

I am fine." What did you say before I'm sorry"? I told her?

 "I asked can we come in?" Maya asked me." 

"Are you sure you’re okay?"  she asked with a concerned, worried expression on her face.

"Oh, yeah, I am good I said with a smile on my face. So, even she knows it's fake. But she knows she can see right through me.

"Oh, okay, she said with a shake of her shoulders.

“Oh, okay then, can we come in then?" she says.

I looked at her like she was watching to ask the question again. Asked if I am okay. But she didn't. She didn't push me. So, that's good. But then it is nice to tell a friend how I am feeling and what is going on with my life. But I don't have any friends here. I have been here for two weeks now and have no friends. The Wright Brothers and their pals made sure.

I didn't realize I was blocking the door for them to come in. So, they were looking at me, you're going to move and let us come in. I snap out of it. I moved. 

''Oh, yes, I am sorry. Please come in." 

Once they grabbed their stuff, they walked through the door. We walked inside the frat house. I was having a small talk with them. I found out we have so much in common. We all like to read and are in the same major, English Literature, and want to move and go to England one day and open a bookstore someday.

  So, we were relaxing, and the girls were not so nervous anymore. I told them I am from North Dakota. Where it always pretty with the pretty mountains. especially when it snows there. I miss home and my aunt and uncle. I sigh, I miss my parents too. I wish they were here with me right now. Watching me off to our dream college. When I was pulling out of the driveway. They always said no matter what, they would be there. But know they are gone. They are in heaven with God and our loved ones that passed.

 I wonder if my parents are proud of me. I hope so. Wendy said she is from Texas, and she misses her horses and her fatso pig she names him Porkchop, no lie. I giggled when she said. Maya from Florida loves the water, and she is a surfer down there. She doesn't go in the water anymore. She almost died from a big wave. So, she stays on dry land from now on, she says. I nodded my head at her. I told her I hate the ocean. I would not step one foot in the water. Something about not seeing what's under me. I don't even like the pool. I am afraid of water. I can take a bath or shower, but that's about it. Nothing else.

We laughed about what we were talking about. They are a bunch of great girls. 

"So, Ariel Maire, where's your room at?" Alexis asked me. Maybe we can hang out there." You know, away from these, she looked around before she said, holding up her hand around her mouth, and said, guys!"

"I hope we all roommates, ladies," Wendy told us. But she is so wrong about that. 

I didn't want to tell them, 

"I am roomie with the Wright Brothers." But it slips out. I didn't realize I told them that.

"I am roommates with the Wrights. You know the brothers, I said with a blush.

What or who got her so afraid? I don't know, but I will find out. But first, I am going to try to make friends with these girls. Maybe I can make friends here. So, I didn't have friends. Because I was bullied in elementary school, all through high school. I am glad I don't go to school with the people anymore. They were horrible to me. I hope I never see Andrew and Seth again. They were the worst. They would lock me down and throw me into the pool and dunk my head. They tried to hurt me one time outside a party I went to. I regret it. Because that was the night I almost lost my virginity. They both try to rape me. But thank God, some guy at the party stops them. They are both in jail now. Serving a year. I hope they don't get out.

 But I got a letter the other day. My aunt and uncle. They called me and told me there was a letter here for me.

Thinking back...

Two days ago...

 But I got a letter the other day. My aunt and uncle. They called me and told me there was a letter here for me.

I asked her who it was from. She said," Hold on."

I waited for a couple of seconds. Then she came back on the phone. My uncle was opening, and I heard him say a bad word. 

"Some of bitch! What the fuc- “

"STEVE!" my aunt yelled at him. I was laughing, I was trying to hold in my laugh. But they heard me. 

"Watch your mouth," she told him. I heard something opening, and the paper was getting folded, and I know she started to read something.

“Oh, no!!! This is not right.t" This has to be a mistake." Rig, ht Stev,e she asked my uncle, scared and concerned. I can hear it in her voice. 

They can't be out!' I heard her yell.

“What, what, what, at Aunt Dianewho's out, what's going on?" I asked her.

She sighed and spoke.

"Uhm, Ariel Marie, she sounded nervous and worried. Oh no! This is not good, I thought.

"Yeah, Aunt Diane, what is it? I asked her. 

"Well, this letter is from your lawyer. "

"Yeah, go on, what is it?" I asked a little too nervously.

"Andrew Clark and Seth Baker got out! 

"Sweetie. Ariel Marie, listen to me, sweetie." Do not leave and always be with friends. Never be by yourself. You got it!  Please, you will be safe and not get hurt." She said all worried and scared for me.

They did say they will get me one day when they get out of jail.

“You! Bitch, we will get you. said Seth said with a smirk on his face and an evil look in his eyes. We promise you." We will.  Andrew said. Once we get you, you wish you were dead! He said to me when they were dragging them off to jail.

WHAT! I thought to myself. I was breathing heavily, and my hands were shaking.

"No, No, this can't be." Please, this nis ot true, they are not supposed to be out yet!

“Yeah, I know, sweetie, but it's no lie. They both got out. They are going after you. So, please stay with someone at all times until we figure this out, okay. I love you; I need to go to work. If you need me to call you anytime.

“Okay, Aunt Diane, love you guys.

“Oh, okay,y sweetie, love you too.

“Love you! Uncle Steve said. Don't worry,y they're stupid to come after you." We won't let them! I heard him say with a growl and an angry tone in his voice.

“Oh, okay, goodbye, love you both.

We love you too.We hungd up.

Back to the present...

An hour later...

I am on my bed reading a book. I am trying not to think about what I heard a couple of days ago. About them! But I am not going to worry, I need to pay attention to my schoolwork and nothing more.

So, I was lost in thought when my phone beeped.

I grabbed it beside me.

I gasp, and then my face turned white.

Oh, God, how they found me!
