Suspended

QUINN’S POV

I am scrolling down my phone and messages started popping out from our group chat. 

[Girls! Check this link! Oh my gosh this is so funny!] Ara messaged so I checked on the link and I am redirected to the video.

Oh, that is fast. It was Jai’s Ex-boyfriend walking on the street while trying to cover his and it was just so impossible to do that. That’s what he deserves. Actually, this isn’t enough yet for what he has done. The video has a caption, ‘Crazy guy walks in the street, naked’ to whoever uploaded the video, I should give a round of applause. You nailed it, thanks. 

I continued scrolling down and the video is all over from different angle which means it comes from different people. I even see the shot from our position earlier and I am pretty sure it was from Ara’s. 

[We’re so good! Hands on bitches!] Hailee send a message

[The video spreads so quick! That was insane. This guy is literally ruined!] Ara as well. 

[He’s famous, cool” I just replied. Jaira seen all our messages but she’s not joining in. she might not yet in the mood and we understand. We’ll give her enough time to sink in everything.

“The video already garnered thousands of views. I couldn’t monitor the others, there’s so many footage” Ara said while scrolling down through her phone.

“Guess, what? I heard that the guy has a plan of migrating abroad because he couldn’t take the shame. His family was so disappointed with him since they have a good reputation and now, it’s stained” Hailee reported. I have nothing to say but I am glad about it. I look at Jai and she’s still not okay but we will just let her be miserable for few days to give her personal space but surely, she’ll change. 

“We still have class let’s go” Ara said. Without saying anything, I stood and walk. 

We are already on our second year in college and end of the school year is fast approaching. It was a boring journey so there’s nothing much to dig about my studies. Somehow, my stay her are quite good because of these three that I have in my life. I never asked them to stay with me, but they did. We sit in to our class and before the discussion starts the instructor say something. 

“I know that you knew about the scandal that’s been going around and it’s massively spread out. I am encouraging everyone to please stop sharing and giving opinion regarding that video. The universities’ name is dragged because of that” I know exactly what she’s referring to. Just so you know, we loved that scandal. I heard Ara and Hailee secretly laughing while others are buzzing around. 

“Let’s continue with our discussion…blah blah blah” *sigh* why studying could be this boring? I just listen on the discussion and waited until it’s done. 

We all stood, “f*ck I’m so hungry! Let’s gooooo” Hailee said while stretching out,

“Nothing new” Ara told her. Hailee eats a lot but she never gains weight, she has the ability to keep her shape even if she eats a lot of fatty food. We headed to the cafeteria and ordered our food. I saw that Jai took just few foods. 

“Eat. Eat a lot” I emotionlessly told her and fill her plate with foods. She never disagrees and just let me. She knows exactly that I’ll get mad when she tries to go against me. I am not bossy or demanding to them but with this matter, I really am and they know that.

Ara walks close to me and making it not too obvious she speaks to me, “Quinn, look at those girls, they’ve been looking at you since we get in” I look at those girls and I am sure they’ll do something. I’ll just wait anyway. We look for a table and we’re about to pass the girls talking about me earlier. I didn’t give them any attention because they’re not important anyway. I am at the end of the line and when I am passing…

*splash* 

“f*ck” I murmured. 

“OHHHH” everyone’s attention is on me. Great! F*ck this! 

I stumbled when I hit a leg in my way. I fell on the floor and all the foods I held splashed all over my shirt and even on my face. The soft drinks drip into my pants. Just as I thought, they’ve been waiting for me and that was really their plan. I heard a poor laugh from the girls who did this to me while I am cleaning off my face. 

Ara hurriedly came to me, “OH MY GOSH! Quinn are you okay?” she attempted to help me stand but I refuse to take it. 

“HEY! YOU BITCHES! I KNOW THAT YOU DID THAT! COME HERE!” Hailee yelled on the girls but I don’t want her to get involved with this. 

“Back off” I coldly told Hailee and I know she understand what I’m saying. We’re together for more than a year and she know me. I took a sigh and faced those girls. I stood in front of them, they’re like five in the table. 

“Tell me it was an accident and apologize” I calmly told the girl whom I stumble with. 

“Excuse me? I never apologize to anybody! Not even with a loser like you” oh, she’s a brat. 

“Really?” before she could answer I abruptly grab her food on the table and slap it on her face. 

“WHAT THE F---” 

“What the f*ck you” before her friend could finish her words, I finished it for her. 

“I forgive you” I simply told her and walk out. Before I could totally get far, I felt something thrown on me. I look back and now it was her friend. 

“f*ck I won’t let that! Here’s for you bitch” before I could react, Hailee throw away her food and it was a bull’s eye! She’s a war freak, I told her to back off now all of them are throwing us their food but damn Ara joined Haille and all the foods are flying around while Jaira tried to stop the clash. We are in such trouble. 

“Stop! STOP IT! ALL OF YOU IN THE OFFICE!” yes we’re dead. 

Expectedly we are lining up inside the office. Of all things, this is what I hated the most. I’ve been trying so hard to avoid trouble but they always missed me what the hell. 

“Girls, you are all college students and you are expected to act mature and behave like one. WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO YOU?!” our dean is yelling, “They did it first” the other girls accused us but Hailee stood and point them with her index finger and say, “Don’t you dare turn it to us! You intentionally blocked your foot on the way causing Quinn to fell and splashed all the food on her!” she was so mad and gritting. 

“Ms. Hailee sit down!” the dean told her “I Don’t care who started first. You are all suspended! As a punishment, you will have to clean the campus, the entire ground!” the dean said. 

“It’s too big!” Hailee said, “then let’s add more” the dean responded. 

“NO!” everyone said in chorus. They have the courage to create trouble but such a lazy bitch. 

“Fix all of yourself and after that, do the school service. I’ll be monitoring you, watch out and don’t try to play with me or I’ll make it even harder for all of you!” she warned. We all walked out the office and get dressed. 

“Grr that girl! I want to punch her face f*cking hard!” Hailee madly said while getting dressed. 

“I don’t know if it sounds weird but, THAT WAS FUN!” Ara faced us like ‘come on, isn’t it fun?’. We all look away and continue cleaning up ourselves. 

“What the *ck” I murmured. Is this even serious? I don’t have extra clothes on my locker, f*ck me!

“I have extra clothes here. You can wear it” Hailee offers me her clothes. I look at them

“I’m not wearing that” I turn my back when she suddenly speaks “Okay. I am not the one who will walk with a dirty shirt on” she said. F*ck I am not wearing those…

“OH. MY. GOSH! STOP ME!” – Ara 

“Quinn! You re breathtakingly gorgeous!” – Hailee 

“You’re so feminine and very pretty!” – Jaira

“Stop it” I said in straight-face. I am not used of being told like what they’re just telling me. I am used of wearing pants, shirts or checkered long-sleeve paired with black fitted sleeveless inside and with my shoes. 

“Are you kidding me? It really looks good on you!” Hailee said and she checks me around, “what are you doing?” I asked her, “I just want to see your entire body, you have such a perfect shape” she told me. 

“Let’s go” I simply told her to change the topic because I’m getting conscious. I am wearing a high waist skirt, white fitted shirt and my shoes. This is getting me uncomfortable but I have no choice either.

This is not the first time I wear clothes like this, this is actually my style but after what happened about me, I started getting conservative with what I wear thinking that guy sexualizes girls who wears revealing clothes. Anyway, we took all the cleaning materials and walk towards the ground.

Everyone is looking at us. They might think we’re the war freak that make the cafeteria a battle zone. 

“They’re looking at us” Hailee said, “Not us! They’re looking at Quinn!” Ara said. F*ck here we go again. I don’t like this attention that they’re giving me but I just act like I didn’t mind. 

*whistles* 

We are passing a group of guys when I heard someone whistles and they’re definitely cat calling me. I stopped walking and furiously looks at them, “who did that?” I ask them but they just keep on laughing and they’re pushing someone to walk out and surprisingly he did which means that it was really him “It’s me why?” he said and f*ck he looks proud with what he did “I would have considered if you have a look but since you look like a trash, I feel insulted” I directly told him and turn my back. I heard his friends mock at him but I don’t care, they’re jerks. We continued walking and I can still see some guys looking at me, no, they’re looking at my f*cking legs. This is why I hate this. I am not the only one wearing like this but it seems like I am the only on looks weird with it. 

“Stop staring or I’ll pull your eyes out” I told the guy who’s keenly looking at me while we’re passing by. We started cleaning the area while students are getting into their respective classes while there are some who’s still walking around waiting for their classes. We did what we have to do and we’ve been cleaning until there’s no more trashes on the ground. I’m not gonna be in trouble again if this is how it will end. I am all sweating and tired at the same time. Hailee, Ara and JaIra quietly do their job without complain. I walk close to them. 

“Sorry you all have to clean because of me” I caught all their attention and Hailee responds, “We’re all in this together don’t worry”, “Right! One for all!” Ara said “All for one!” Jaire finished the statement “Thanks” I told them. We continued cleaning and after how many hours we’ve cleaned the half ground since the other half for the other bitches. 

“Hoh! Finally! My back f*cking hurts!” Ara said “This will knock me out early! I want a long rest and sleep!” Hailee said. This is indeed so tiring. We reported to the dean and tell her that we’re done and good thing she let us go home. “You’re still suspended for tomorrow and same with the other girls” the dean told us and even if we don’t like it, we have to agree. 

“Another day tomorrow without learnings” Ara said. “Do you have a plan for tomorrow?” Hailee asked and Ara directly answer, “None”, “why?” Jaira asked while I remain silent and listen to them. 

“I am thinking that we might hang out tomorrow? Just a quality time together” Hailee suggested and Ara seemed to like the idea while Jaira is hesitant so Hailee has to convince her “come on Jai, I have a plan for you tomorrow” she said that makes Jai say no, “that is not a good idea! No” Jai keeps on resisting but in the end, she’s still convinced with Hailee’s power. 

“What about you Quinn? I know you’ll come” Ara said. She should not ask when she would answer it by her own, “Let’s go home” that’s the only thing that I told them.
