Lunchtime couldn’t come any sooner, as I rushed into the line and wished that I could point to everything that was being cooked. The kids may be rich, but the food was fit for royalty. Damn, one thing was for sure, they’ve got everything on the stove when it comes to lunchtime. Chicken, lamb, fish and even vegetarian. It was like a buffet at a five star hotel, that I’d been to only once and even then it didn’t smell as good as what was on offer in front of my eyes. I must admit that my heart was beating so hard as I heard the lunch bell that all I could think about was eating and how good it was that first day and every meal that I’d had here had been the same. But food wasn’t that great that it would keep me here, not against my will. “Chicken and fries please with some peas,” I said as my mouth was watering and I was almost too damned hungry to speak but dying to ask for her just to put every damned thing on my plate, like the lamb and fish too. “Ok, sugar. Here you go.”The caf
Who laughs last wins!As the saying goes, or maybe it was from a movie. But it was my motivation for the day. I didn’t know if the Hawk twins were Mr. Hawk’s sons or even brothers or maybe his cousins. Curiosity was getting the best of me as I started to grow ears like eagles and a voice like a Great Night Owl. There was one thing that the students loved to do here, just like Rock Hill High and that was to gossip. So far I learned, without actually talking to anyone, that the twins were called Trent and James. James was the arrogant one, the one who asked what I was staring at and Trent was his brother; just as arrogant but a bit slyer about it. They were the ones that ruled the school, even the teachers were scared of them. The question was, why?Apart from their name, what did it really mean?Every high schooler was scared of their principal, what made these two so different. I hated the idea of being curious. I was here to be cozy with the principal, so that he would tell me about
I did a crazy thing this Tuesday morning just to be two steps ahead of the game. I ate not one plate of breakfast, but two. I smashed pancakes, bacon, egg and French toast. They were all laid out, but the strange part of being in the main house is that I eat alone. Which in some ways is good, I don’t have to be shy about what I’d put on my plate but was also kind of lonely.Being alone while I ate reminded me that I was here alone. I tried to shake it off and laughed at the idea of what was waiting for me today.I would be one step ahead of the fucking game. I decided that, at lunchtime, I wouldn’t even get in the line. I wouldn’t wait. I wouldn’t torture myself with the idea that the food that was in front of me, would reach my lips and stay there. Just like my first day here, it went in and swiftly came out, at the same speed that I digested it after wearing clothes that were a few sizes too small, thanks to Claire. Comical now, looking back. Not really!I’d eaten too much and ne
I went to classes, I went through the day, my head down and avoided lunch. The sad part about lunchtime was the idea of not eating, the good part about it, meant that half the day had gone by. And I needed it to go by. For some crazy reason proving to Mr. Hawk that I wasn’t a coward seemed to be the only thing on my mind. That and the twins, as much as I avoided staring at them or even breathing the same air as them, it was impossible. They spoke like three or four languages. I watched them in Spanish class, and French class. God knows why I’d even said that I could speak it, when the closest I had to French was eating French toast. And they also spoke German. Or so that was what I thought that they were speaking but I knew nothing about Germany let alone the language. All I knew was that when they came into the hallway it was as if the spotlight was on them. They made everyone turn to them. Even the damn janitor. No one did that back at my old high school. Sure, the jocks were th
At last, a friend. Someone who spoke to me and it wasn’t Mr. Hawk and it wasn’t someone trying to bully me. I found out that I wasn’t the only new girl who started last week. There were two more of us. “You see. We’ve all been invited to this game,” she whispered as the rest of them left and we were alone at my lockers. The rest meaning both the Hawk twins and the girl that was enjoying making my life a living hell. It was as if the two new girls wanted to make sure that the coast was clear before they came to me. “What game?” I asked, totally lost after the way they ran up to me like a swarm of bees, telling me about being brave and telling me about Friday. “We can talk about that later.” She brushed my question aside. “So, I’m Goldie. This is Ruby and you’re Vicki, right? But it ends with an I and not a y.”A strange observation, but I nodded in response to her question. “We’ve been dying to talk to you. But we were worried about making our lives even worse than they already are
“So?” Ruby asked, “What’s the deal with you staying with Mr. Hawk?”We were in the cafeteria after hours. It was quiet, and it made a change from finishing classes and heading to my room and catching up on work. I didn’t think that I was behind in final year, but I had loads of work to do all the time. Some part of me felt as if I needed a couple of more years at the school just to be up to date. “He said that with the way things went with my roommate that it made sense.”Goldie nodded. “Special treatment, huh?”Then she winked at me. I didn’t know what she meant, but I met her smile. Special treatment wasn’t the word that I would use, but I suppose in a way it was.“Yeah. I’m at the house. But for how long, I don’t know.”“That sucks.” Ruby sighed as she slouched down on a bench and dropped her bag which made a big thumping sound that startled me.“Well. Yeah in a way. I don’t know if that’s why they’re treating me this way. Because they think that I’m in with the principal.”Ruby l
Wednesday morning dawned cold and rainy, much like the day I arrived. I thought back to that day as I dressed and braided my hair. I’d been so full of hope that day. I’d been afraid I wouldn’t fit in, and boy how right had I been about that! Too fucking right, I thought, as I picked up the bag that held my books and slung it over my shoulder. I didn’t fit in and my only friends were a girl that only talked to me because her daddy’s money couldn’t buy her popularity like it had at her old school, and a girl that turned into a robot at the merest hint of the word Friday. Not the most likely of people that I’d choose to hang around in my old life.I paused on my way out of the door as I thought of Ava and Teresa, back in Utah without me. They’d be meeting at the lockers, talking about what they’d missed in the fifteen minutes it took them to get to school, happy together. Without me.That thought stung me deeply, even though I knew it wasn’t their fault. My two best friends would move o
“You have to be in it to win it.” That’s what Goldie said as she held up her hand, a white envelope flashed in the light, her name engraved in gold letters on the front a prism of golden sparks.It matched the one I’d received, only mine had my name on it, of course. “This isn’t a game, Goldie,” I admonished her as I looked down at Ruby, sad for her that she hadn’t received an invitation as she’d wanted so desperately. She’d been sitting on the floor for an hour now and she moved over a little to let Goldie walk in after her grand entrance.“I haven’t got one yet,” Ruby said from the floor, her gaze accusatory. “What? You think we had something to do with that?” Goldie smirked at Ruby and flipped her golden hair behind her golden shoulders. I knew they were golden because she had on a light blue sweater with a wide collar that meant the shoulders slipped down constantly to reveal bare flesh. We’d agreed to meet in my room later that evening on the pretext of studying. The envelope
James was the quiet one and people, stupidly, thought that meant he was the innocent one. From what I’d just witnessed, I knew that wasn’t the case. James might be quiet, but there was hot and dirty fire that burned deep inside of him. I watched Trent slump down to the floor against the couch as James left the chair and came over to him.“Shit, that whole scene was intense,” he said as he handed me a shirt to cover myself with, but by this point, they’d seen all of me, and I was too hot to clothe myself. I put it behind me and watched the twin brothers at my feet. “I hope you like to play, Vicki.” James said as he brushed a finger up my smooth leg. My eyes narrowed. What did he mean, play? “I mean I like sex a little spicier than the average guy. A little… rough.” Trent stood up, slid into his jeans and zipped them up as James began to teach me how to suck him off. I didn’t want him to go, the more I’d thought about both of them being here, touching me, fucking me, the more I
His tongue moved from tasting my lips to getting a taste of my pussy so fast my head spun. He went down on his knees in front of me again and pushed my thighs apart. With gentle hands he tilted my hips up as he sucked on it. I moaned, but then I lifted up my hands as if I was about to get up.“No!” James blurted out from his chair, where he sat quietly stroking his dick. I hadn’t even noticed that he’d taken it out until now. We both ignored him. Trent did give him a little information, though. Information that made me grin. “I’m so fucking lost in her fucking pussy. I can’t get enough of it, James. She tastes so fucking good.” He held on to my legs. He firmly rubbed them at the side of each leg. Then my knees spread apart as he moved deeper into the landscape that was my pussy. I didn’t even mind thinking the word, as he went in for the kill.He found my clit and started to bite it gently. “I fucking want to cum,” James growled as Trent looked up. Sure enough, he is thrusting his
I walked to the gym with butterflies in my tummy and sweaty palms. The entire day had gone by in a blur and now I was going to meet my fate. Something told me that this night would change my entire life. I checked my phone and saw it was ten minutes to midnight. I ducked in and went straight to the girls’ bathroom. It was empty, thankfully, and I checked my makeup in the mirror. I wasn’t used to putting it on but thankfully the Internet was nearly entirely consumed by young people and adults insisting they were the only ones that could teach us all how to do our makeup. I’d followed one of the less layered on looks and highlighted what I could with color to make myself look…prettier.I’d curled my long dark hair and it now cascaded down my back over a light blue dress that I’d found in a second-hand shop with Mom last summer and I was happy that the material was stretchy so that I could still fit into it. I’d packed it in my bag, not knowing if I’d need it. It was more like a satiny
By lunchtime I was a complete wreck. I stared at the other students around me and couldn’t help but wonder; was it you? Were you the one that slipped this new invitation into my locker? Were you the one that put the rats in my bag? Then my mind would sway back to Ruby, and how very much she wanted to be the one chosen. I suspected she’d been bullied at her old school and that’s why she wanted this so bad. I felt sorry for her for a little while, then I thought about what she’d done, if she was the one that did those things. She was just as bad as any bully in her desperation.I’d wanted to make friends here, but so far, I didn’t have anyone that I could trust. Except for Mr. Hawk and he was the principal so it wasn’t like I could go to him and whine about not having friends. Besides, I reminded myself, I had plenty of friends back home. I sent Ava a text as I went into the cafeteria.I hadn’t spoken to her since Teresa told me Ava was dating Abe now. I wanted her to know I didn’t min
I woke up before my alarm went off on Thursday morning. It was another cloudy day outside, I noted as I crawled out of the bed and made my way to the bathroom. I took care of my bladder and then hopped in the shower. I had time, so I let the hot water wash over me. By the time I was dressed, and my hair was dried, I still had time to spare. I saw the envelope, the invitation to go to the gym tomorrow at midnight, and decided to stash it in my bag, where it would be safe. My fingers reached into the bag, and once again, I felt something furry. “What the fuck?” I cried out and threw the bag against my door. “Problem, Miss Harris?” I heard Mr. Hawk call from the other side of my door. What was he doing there? “There’s another rat in my bag, Mr. Hawk,” I called through the door, then realized how stupid that was. I pulled open the door and stared at him. “I thought you were going to do something about this? I don’t even understand how it’s not even bleeding.”Not that it made a differ
