Chapter 9

1254 Words
Rachel The bottle began to spin again and I prayed silently that the bottle should stop on someone else. I did not want to drink that alcohol from hell. I heaved a sigh of relief when the bottle began to stop on others but my glee did not last too long. The bottle stopped on me again. I groaned. I knew Julie would not let this opportunity go. I did not even get a chance to get back at her yet because the bottle did not stop in her direction. Sometimes it stopped but a little breeze would tilt it a little and Julie would end up not answering a question or doing dares. "Have you ever done o******x with any guy?" Julie threw another venomous question at me again. I should have just said no but I did not want to answer any questions from Julie. Her sneaky smile assured me that she had bad plans for me. I did not want to fall into her plans. "I don't wish to answer." I said dully and Julie's smile brightened considerably. "That's the spirit. Not everyone likes to say a truth about themselves." Julie said in false consolation. I ignored her words. "Your dare is—" A guy I had a very faint impression of began but Julie interrupted him once again. I glared at her but it seemed to have no effect on her. "Your dare is to do a lap dance for Ted." Julie's poisonous mouth said the dare she had for me with a blinding smile. Ted? The face of the man that kept starting at me in an uncomfortable way came into my mind. I almost vomited when I thought of myself dancing for that person. I did not want to be in any close proximity with him. Why would I do a lap dance for him? Doing the meal, I noticed Julie was texting. Was she texting to Ted? I felt like there was something fishy going on between Julie and Ted. I did not want to give them the satisfaction they will get if I fall into their trap but I am clueless of their plans. "Give me a shot." I said to Ryan. Ryan poured me a shot and I drank it too. The woozy feeling in my head worsened and my eyes began to see double. I darted a look at Julie and I saw that her smile had something diabolical mixed in. I felt worse. I felt like I was falling into her evil plans even if I was doing everything to avoid it. I didn't like that feeling. "You guys should give me a second. I want to use the bathroom." I said before standing up. I did not like how dizzy I was becoming. I wanted to splash water on my face. I would be more awake then. There was a bathroom connected to the hall. The bathroom was built for emergencies but students always used the bathroom as a crime spot. They would look at any cheating items they managed to sneak in through the pretext of using the bathroom. "That wretched slug." I cursed at Julie. She better not let me catch her. The bathroom was not separated into male and female sections. It had ten cubicles in total for both genders. The sink was outside the cubicles. I did not really want to pee so I walked to the sink instead. I washed my face thoroughly before I felt a better. The door of the bathroom quietly opened. I did not pay any heed to the new arrival. This bathroom was not my property, I was not going to stop people from coming in. A body hugged me and two arms wrapped around my waist. For a short second, I froze. Soon, my senses rushed back and I slammed my head against the intruder's head. The move made my head more dizzy but it got the intruder to release me. I quickly broke away from him and I put some distance between us. My dizziness had worsened but I managed to recognize the face of the man that hugged me without my permission. It was Ted. What? Migraine assaulted my head. I almost puked when I discovered Julie and Ted's terrible plan. Julie wanted Ted to sexually assault me. Ted gazed at me venomously, "You w***e! Why are you behaving like you don't want this?! Julie said you you liked me and you wanted to be with me. Why are you behaving abnormally now? Do you think it is fun to play hard to get?" I was dumbstruck. What in the name of bunnies was he talking about? I liked him? I wanted to be with him? I was playing hard to get? When did I express interest in him? Was he deranged? "Are you crazy? Did I tell you personally that I liked you?" I yelled at him. I knew Julie put him to it but did he have to be this daft? "Stop pretending. Didn't you come to the bathroom as an excuse for us to meet?" Ted argued before stalking towards me. Fear gripped my heart. On normal days, I would have been able to go against him without much disadvantage. On normal days, if I could not fight him, I would have escaped or I would have found a way to avoid him. Now, I was drunk and I can not put forth half of my strength. Going against him now would be a disaster. I wanted to shout and scream but I knew nobody would hear me. The bathroom was at the end of the hall. The place we were playing the game was nearer to the entrance. They would not notice anything even if I shout. I looked around. There wasn't anything I could use to defend in the bathroom. My heart sank in despair. Ted reached me and he grabbed my jaw with his right hand as his left arm drew me closer to his body. His body was heating up. I felt disgust crawl along my skin and the urge to puke increased. I thrashed in his hold. He released his hold to give me a slap. My cheeks stung as my face stilted to the other side because of his heavyhanded slap. I did not stop my struggles as he tried to press his lips on mine. After what felt like hours of battle, Ted released me. I thought it was on his own accord until I saw Ted laying on the floor. He was unconscious. Chase was standing before me with a scowl on his face. He was clenching and unclenching his fingers. "Are you okay?" He asked and I felt relief flood through me. Thank God he came. I didn't know what I would have done. Chase walked up to me and he scooped me into his arms. I inhaled his scent greedily. A ridiculous idea tempted me. I wanted to try to stoke Chase's interest. I inched closer to him. I was drunk and inebriation gave me the courage to do what was on my mind. Still a sane part of me knew exactly what I was going to do. That sane part of me wanted to wash away Ted's creepy touch with Chase's liberating touch. I turned to face Chase. I dragged his collar so that he could lean down. I wrapped my arms around his neck and then, I leaned in for the prize.
