Pressure Chapter 20
Lisa's P.O.V
It was about a week until Halloween and all of us were busier than ever. Rehearsals for Romeo and Juliet were going ahead, as the auditorium was being repaired, and Samantha and Link got the leads of course. Spencer and Samantha were preparing for the Christmas Concert. Spencer had all kinds of volleyball practices and games, and I was busy with skating.
On top of everything we spent any free time between that on projects, homework and studying. If there was anything else left we spent if with our boyfriends. The three of us hardly ever hung out, just once and a while.
Samantha and Link became really close friends because of the play, and Spencer and Samantha were closer than ever.
You might think... where does that leave me? Well... I made some friends in skating and I spent a bunch of time with Colby... I had a bit more time on my hands then Spencer and Sam.
It was Monday and I had classes.
The school was having a Halloween costume party, in the ballroom.
The school decided that the students at this school needed to take a break whether they wanted it or not. All extracurricular were cancelled until next Tuesday, November 1st. That means that me, Spencer and Samantha get all week to hang out without being busy with our activities.
I got out of bed and went to get a shower, I noticed a Spencer was just getting up, and Samantha was just leaving the bathroom, ready for the day.
I went to school, trudging my way through each class, until fencing at the end of the day.
Believe me, fencing... not as easy as it looks... and guess what? It doesn't look easy. Get it?
Even though it's hard, I love fencing, and I love skating... Now that I've started fencing... I don't think I'd be able to choose between the two. I love them so much.
Finally, classes were over and the six of us (Spencer, Sam, Colby, Nick, Link and I) decided to go shopping for Halloween costumes.
Samantha's P.O.V
We walked to the new Halloween store just off campus, to get Halloween costumes.
As we went through the door I could barely see anything because of the fog machines they had running in the store. The building seemed kind of like a warehouse and everywhere there were things that were Halloween related. Costumes, special effects, decorations, everything!
We went to the women's costume section first, looking at the costumes hanging on the shelves.
I saw a cute Alice in wonderland costume that I would come back to after.
We took a quick look at the wig section behind the women's costumes and then headed to the men's costumes. To get to them we passed some creepy decorations, of some zombie baby carousel... Wow.
We took a quick peek through the costumes, checking out the Mario and Luigi costumes, along with the mad hatter and a taco, smiling at each one.
We checked out some other decorations and some masks as well as some of the children's costumes.
"I saw a costume back in the women's section I want to try on. Lisa, can you come with me?" I asked
"Sure. I have one I want to try on too."
Lisa and I left our group and headed to grab the costumes we wanted to try on.
We went to the changing rooms between the men's and women's costumes and waited our turn.
Lisa had decided on a fallen angel costume, and I had grabbed the Alice in wonderland costume.
I stepped into the changing room, slipping on the Alice dress over my Jeans and undershirt.
Lisa stepped out of her dressing room at the same time I stepped out of mine.
We took a long look at each other, saying in unison, perfect, then turning to the mirror examining ourselves... After a few seconds... Perfect.
We turned to go back into our dressing rooms when we saw Spencer exiting a dressing room in a Zelda costume. She saw us saying that our costumes were pretty. She then passed us going to the mirror.
After the three of us taking off the costumes, putting back on our tops, we headed to the cash, with costumes in hand.
The guys hadn't picked anything, saying the three of them would come back tomorrow.
Spencer's P.O.V
It was Saturday, the day of the costume party and Lisa, Samantha and I were getting ready, in our costumes.
The boys had followed through and gone out the next day to get theirs.
The week had passed rather uneventfully. Just classes, homework, and some actual time to hang out.
We got dressed in our costumes, and applied make-up to go with them.
In the end we looked almost perfect, well... Halloween perfect.
It was about a half hour until the party so we slipped on our shoes and headed to the boys' dorm to meet them.
After that we headed to the ballroom for the Halloween party.
We stepped into the ballroom, almost unable to see, because of fog machines, the lighting was black, orange and purple, coloring the fog, in an almost eerie way.
There was a food table in one corner of the room. It had a ton of Halloween inspired food, lady fingers, decorated with beige and red icing, cupcakes on a carousel, with pumpkin, bat and spider, decorations.
All across the dance floor were student all dressed up, dancing with and energy that was almost electric.
Nick went off with Sam and Lisa went off with Colby, leaving me and Link alone.
"would you like to dance?" a guy said coming up to me.
"um no, thanks though. I already have a date."
"who?"
"my boyfriend? Link?" I said grabbing Link's arm.
"oh, it's just a dance though..."
I looked up at Link to see what he thought, he simply shrugged his shoulders.
"um... Fine then..." I said to the guy "I guess."
I walked over to the dance floor with him, as he smiled at me.
To be totally honest he a bit good looking, but not nearly as hot as Link.
"So, um what's your name?" I asked.
"Oh, Spencer, you don't need to know my name" he told me, smirking.
Honestly that's when I should have began to worry, I'd never seen him before yet he knew my name, and the fact he wouldn't tell me his name.
I looked around and noticed I couldn't see Link anymore.
We got to the edge of the dance floor, somewhere near the door, just as a slow song came on.
I reluctantly put my arms around his shoulders, while he put his arms on my lower back.
I scowled taking his arms a bit higher on my back.
We swayed back and forth to the beat, until it was almost the end of the song. He then leaned down to kiss me, but before he could I pulled myself away and shoved him away.
I turned to walk away, but before I could he grabbed onto my wrist.
I let out a small yelp, but nobody heard me because of the music,
The guy pulled me out the door, and as hard as I tried to pull away, I couldn't get away.
He picked me up, throwing me violently over his shoulder. He carried me around the side of the building.
I was kicking trying to get away, but I couldn't even scream because I was in such an odd position.
It must have been a couple songs since I left Link. I thought to myself. He must be looking for me...
He carried me around the back of the ballroom where - just my luck - there were woods. He took me just far enough into the woods where no one could see us.
He set me down, pressing me up against a tree. Before I could scream for help, he forcefully pressed his lips against mine. I tried to pull away but there was nowhere to go. He had me pinned against the tree.
His lips trailed down my jaw line and he began to kiss my neck. I was too afraid to do anything.
All of a sudden, I heard a yell, somebody screaming, taking the attention of the guy. It gave me the opportunity to run away from the creep. It got his attention and he began to chase after me.
I looked back as I ran, watching him to make sure he wasn't getting too close to me.
Right then I ran into something, I must have it with a lot of force because, whatever I ran into and I, toppled to the ground.
I looked up to see what I ran into, seeing a familiar face, Samantha.
I looked up too, seeing Lisa and Link standing above us. I looked behind me seeing the guy backing away slowly. I stood up and walked over to him, grabbed his arm and dragged him over to my friends.
"isn't this the guy you went to dance with? Why are you two out here?" Link asked suspiciously.
I ignored his question, giving the guy's arm to Lisa. I walked over to Link giving him a hug.
"Spencer! Why do you smell like... Axe?" Link asked me.
"He... He... Dragged me out here."
"what?"
"he threw me over his shoulder. I tried to scream but... I couldn't."
"Aw.... Spencer..." he said hugging me. "I'm sorry... For thinking that you just came out here with him... willingly."
" It's ok, let's just take him to the principal," I said. "Make sure he's punished for what he did."
Sam and Lisa held onto his arms to keep him from running away.
We dragged him into the ballroom where the principal was supervising the dance.
"We need to speak to you... privately" I said to the headmistress.
"Okay... Let's just step outside."
I told the headmistress everything that happened, everything the guy had done.
At the end she was glaring at him.
"unacceptable!" she all but shouted. "I should expel you, honestly I think I will! Never in all my years have I expelled two students before Christmas!"
"That would be you assuming I go to this school" he said smirking maliciously.
"You don't attend this school?"
"of course not, I graduated from high school last June. Not even this school."
"h-how I old are you?" I stuttered.
"Who? Little old me? Why I'm 19."
I flashed back, remembering him kissing me, my lips, my jaw, my neck... I shuddered.
"19?" the principal asked. "What are you doing here?"
"isn't it obvious... I got bored of the girls my age, so I came for some younger girls."
"you're aware that she's underage, therefore you broke the law?"
"Aww... Did I? Oopsie daisy..." he a said smirking.
"Wait." I said remembering something "how did you know... My name?"
"Aw, now that's for me to know and you to not find out."
"Samantha," said the principal, addressing Sam. "Would you please go call the police?"
"Sure" Sam said.
"Tell them to go to my office, in the administration building."
"Ok."
While Sam called the police Link, the principal, and I took the guy to the admin. building. Lisa went back into the ballroom to get Nick and Colby, who she and Sam had told to stay in the ballroom, while they went to find me.
Within twenty minutes everyone was crowded into the principal's spacious office. Turns out the guy's name was Riley... I. Hate. Riley.
He's a disgusting jerk, the police decided to arrest him. For kidnapping (especially because of my being a minor) and assault.
All's well that ends well, I guess. To be truthful, yeah it was scary but... I'll be perfectly fine.
We decided that after that we'd call it a night. Link gave me a hug and a quick peck on the lips then, me, Lisa and Samantha headed back to our dorm and went to bed.
