He smiled. What does he mean by, I am the star of the night. What are they planning to do? Cassandra stood up, with her arms crossed, she walks up to me, throwing her ass from side to side like it didn't have any control. She now stood in front of me with that deadly glance. Her eyes said it all, she wanted me dead.
'' Tonight you are going to entertain us'' She flashed a smile, an unpleasant smile.
'' Forgive me but my......'' she cut me off
'' a,a,a... don't talk too much...... You won't be doing it for free '' using her finger to gesture to me '' We know very much how money is important to you '' With that being said, she moved to the side, and once again I was face to face with Logan
'' Max '' Logan called. Max took out a bundle of cash and placed it on the Table in front of me. Trying to hold back the shock, no one needed to tell me it was a lot of money
'' That right there is two hundred dollars '' Cassandra announced before standing in front of me once again, blocking the view. Two hundred dollars just came out of Max without a flinch. That is exactly the money I need right now to settle the two-month debt. The money I work endlessly to come up with just came out of a single kid. '' and you will be getting more if you can satisfy us '' I lift my head to lock eyes with her. She wasn't joking. They wanted to play with me and pay me. And I am certain that it would just be any kind of game. They will surely take it too far and that I will not allow.
'' What kind of game are we talking about here?''
'' that is none of your concern, you just take the money and do what we ask '' still carrying that smile. I stared at her for a while, trying to read her and she was like an open book. Cassandra would do her best to humiliate the moment I agree with this.
I can't fall for it. Yes, it was a lot of money but I can not fall for it. The room went silent as a million thoughts ran through my head. I can't play this game nor can I turn down the money. They were paying for my time. What do I do to be safe? I look to the side to see the other three girls smiling, then I look back at Cassandra
'' I will have my conditions '' I said to her. This is like a business. I get paid to render services and as someone who renders service, I have rights as well. There would be limits to what I can do
'' And who said you have to fucking right? '' I raised an eyebrow at her. Why was I even talking to her? besides, she is not even the boss here. I pushed her to the corner '' what the fuck? Are you..... ''
'' Hey Logan '' I cut her bullshit and stood in front of Logan. He raised an eyebrow at me '' You are the one in charge, right? '' He frowned at my question but it didn't last. His expression suddenly softened, turning to a smile, a dangerous smile, one that could send even the devil himself, running to hiding. As he consumed more smoke from his vape. He slowly leans forward in his chair, eyes locked in mine
'' what are these conditions? ''
'' Logan!!'' Cassandra protested and Logan flashed her a deadly stare, shutting her up
'' I would play this game..... as long as things are not taken too far ''
'' And when you say too far? '' Seeking further explanation when I knew very well that he gets what I am saying
'' don't expect me to strip naked in front of you guys '' they all bust into laughter. They may find it funny but I didn't, not even a little bit. Logan was the only one who didn't laugh, he just carried a smile. This smile that had so much hidden meaning
'' Hey!!'' Victor called '' We have no interest in a prostitute's waste of a body '' his words hit me hard. He just called my body waste
'' Hey Maria '' Logan called my attention back to him '' Is that your only condition?''
'' Yes ''
'' Don't worry '' Max said, Not like Logan would let that happen '' Max responded with a frown
''OK then.... I will entertain you '' I smiled '' what do you want? ''
'' Someone like you doesn't have a choice anyway '' Cassandra walks past me to go sit down. '' I hope you can drink '' she spoke '' because we ordered this specially for you '' My eyes fell on the 15 bottles of alcohol on the table. 15 bottle? Will I be able to take all of it?
The entertainment began. Martina had her Camera recording life on the school media. Firstly they made me drink 5 bottles, then with my unstable self, they made me Sing to a Nick Minaj song and dance. It was uncomfortable dancing in my mini skirt because it kept going up, exposing more than it should but I was a bit of a drunk to worry about it. I danced and sang, while they cheered for me, I was bathed with a whole bottle of alcohol, and then they made me drink again while Martina read the comments from students. Then they got fed up with it and decided to play a new game. I was asked to sit on the ground while they came up with a new game
'' Truth or Dare '' Isabella announced and they all agreed
'' it's been a while since I played that game '' Martina said
'' me too '' Sara added. Logan looks at me. I may be drunk but still knew what I was doing. I think. I don't know again, I guess I do not know what I am doing. But I have to try to remain alert.
LOGAN'S POV
Maria was drunk but pretended to be doing fine, Others may not really notice how drunk she was but I could see right through her. I was surprised she made it to 9 bottles and still had control over what she was doing. Looking at the lady on the ground while the others thought of what to do with her next. She was almost fully exposed. At the being of the entertainment. I was enjoying it but when her skirt began to reveal too much, I heard Max comment on how he would probably fuck her. This got me irritated.
Not taking my eyes off her thigh, suddenly '' Truth or Dare '' Isabella announced and I turned to them only to notice Cassandra looking at me with a frown but it instantly vanished when I caught her gaze.
'' it's been a while since I played that game '' Martina said
'' me too '' Sara added. I turn to Maria once again then smile
'' well we have the perfect person to play with don't we '' Lucas said then leaned back in his chair
'' I will set the rules '' Cassandra said '' Maria ''
'' mm....mmm '' looks at Cassandra with an unsteady gaze
'' Look at her '' Martina laughs '' Completely drunk'' they all laughed
'' Doing this for money '' Lucas added
'' I didn't expect much '' I said. Satisfied that I have something to control her with
'' You were right Logan '' Victor said '' I am beginning to feel for her ''
'' She is a low life.... why do you feel sorry for her '' Cassandra snapped
'' Yeah.... not like we are the reason her life is this miserable '' The ladies frowned
'' Oh come on now.... Don't ruin the mood '' Max announced '' let's get back to the fun already ''
