Truth Or Fiction

Chapter One Hundred and Four

James shook his head as he unfurled his scroll. There was so much about this that was completely mad and yet...he couldn't help but want to learn more.

Audrey paced her dorm room, livid as could be.

Phil Jr sighed. Here we go, he thought.

How dare Ben do that? Propose to Mal of all people when he should have been marrying her!

"I'm sorry, I thought there was a thing called free will!" Uma said, shaking her head.

Didn't he know how humiliating that was?

"How could it be humiliating? You weren't even there!" Rose exclaimed.

It was even worse than the whole school knowing he'd withdrawn from their contract, because she had to see that damn ring every time she turned around!

"Are you sure you're not stalking Mal?" Jay asked, his eyes narrowing slightly.

Gods, it was almost like Mal was following her or something.

"As if, I have better things to do," Mal scoffed.

But if she dared even say that, everyone would just say she was being dramatic or imagining things.

"You see? I'm upset and nobody cares!" Audrey muttered.

"Have you talked to anyone about being upset?" Rose shot back.

Dramatic? Her? She had never been dramatic in her life!

Akiho opened and then shut his mouth.

"Not touching that one?" Emir asked him.

"Not with a ten foot icicle," Akiho nodded.

But no one dared wanting to risk hurting Mal's feelings by confronting her about her almost stalking of Audrey so Audrey was the one who had to tamp down her feelings. Just another reason why rage pulsed though her body like a bolt of electricity.

"People can hurt my feelings all they like," Mal said with a shrug.

"I beg to differ," Hades, Persephone, Benji, Uma, Harry, Jay, and Hadie told her.

It'd been a week since Cotillion and all she had heard about was everyone gushing over Mal and Ben or talking about how brave Mal had been to go after Freddy!

"I mean, considering what he wanted to do to her...yeah Mal was really brave to go after him!" Melody said.

Oh yeah, they were calling Fredrick 'Freddy' because that's what Mal called him. Never mind that he might not want to be called that!

"Yes well I don't exactly want to be called 'witch' and neither does Uma but he doesn't exactly ask us about that does he?" Mal shook her head.

"Yeah, at least he's still being called something resembling his name," Uma said.

Even Chad had brushed her off when she tried to complain about how ridiculous everyone was being.
