Monaleo's Baby Doll

⚠️ New Girl ⚠️

"Hey there, the name's Tatyanna, but you can call me Taty if you prefer. Let me take you on a journey and unravel the tale of how I found myself in this peculiar situation. It all began when….”

*Ring Rin-*

"Ugh, mornings are the worst," I grumbled to myself as I dragged my tired body towards the bathroom. The thought of staying in bed forever seemed like a dream come true. However, reality called, and I reluctantly began my morning routine. After meticulously finishing my last curl, I heard the familiar sound of my phone ringing on the bed. Curiosity piqued, I hurriedly made my way towards it and answered the call. To my delight, it was my best friend, the one person who could always brighten my day, reaching out to me.

 "Good morning," she exclaimed, her voice filled with surprise as she noticed me awake at such an early hour. I couldn't help but roll my eyes at her astonishment. "Well, obviously we have school to attend," I retorted, earning myself a deathly glare from her. As I continued getting ready, she couldn't contain her excitement and began sharing some gossip she had heard from her boyfriend. "Guess what? There's a new girl joining our school, and apparently, she's quite intimidating. Everyone seems to be scared of her, although I personally think it's just a rumor," she informed me while I carefully selected my outfit. I glanced at her, slightly intrigued by the news. "Are you serious?" I asked, to which she nodded her head in confirmation. Ignoring her response, I grabbed my perfume and started spraying it on myself. Suddenly, she interrupted my routine by announcing, "By the way, I'm outside." Without wasting a second, I hurried downstairs and dashed out the door, quickly settling into the passenger seat of her car.

 Our journey to school began as we hopped into the car and found a spot in the bustling parking lot. As we strolled towards the grand school building, the morning air filled with the sound of our lively conversation. Our destination was the cafeteria, where we planned to indulge in a delicious breakfast from one of the tempting fast food joints nestled within. 

 Upon reaching our designated table, our group of friends joined us, filling the space with laughter and chatter. Suddenly, the bell echoed through the cafeteria, signaling the end of our leisurely meal. The bustling crowd began to disperse, each student making their way to their respective classrooms. 

 Just as the atmosphere settled into the rhythm of the school day, a sudden announcement crackled through the intercom, causing a collective stir in my classroom. The mention of Tatyanna Collins being summoned to the office sent a ripple of curiosity and speculation among my peers. The air was thick with anticipation, as if something significant was about to unfold.

 As I stepped into the office, my eyes were immediately drawn to a stunningly beautiful girl who was seated gracefully, surrounded by two imposing men on either side. It was as if she commanded their presence effortlessly. With a warm smile, she introduced herself as Leondra, but insisted on being called monaleo. I couldn't help but feel a mix of excitement and apprehension, as rumors had circulated among my friends about her eccentricity and the fear she instilled in others. In an attempt to hide my nervousness, I mustered a shy smile and a timid wave, unsure of what to expect from this enigmatic figure.

After we had introduced ourselves, the Principal in charge instructed me to give Monaleo a tour of the school. It seemed that Monaleo and I were exempted from the rest of our classes for the day, despite having two classes each. With a dismissive wave, she ushered us out of her office, accompanied by the security guards. As we began walking through the hallways, Monaleo started bombarding me with questions. However, one particular question caught me off guard. She asked if I would be willing to be a part of her doll collection. It was an odd request, and it made me feel uneasy. Determined to finish the tour quickly, I hurriedly showed her the classrooms. The building was quite expansive, and by the time we were done, it was already lunchtime.

 As I bid farewell to Monaleo, I made my way towards the bustling cafeteria where my friends were eagerly waiting for me. Little did I know that Monaleo had quietly trailed behind me, her presence unbeknownst to me. With a friendly wave, I approached my friends, but their expressions instantly transformed into sheer terror, as if they had just witnessed a ghostly apparition. Utterly perplexed, I turned around, only to let out a blood-curdling scream as Monaleo swiftly covered my mouth with her trembling hand. Her breaths came in ragged gasps, and her body trembled uncontrollably. When I finally mustered the courage to meet her gaze, I was taken aback by the sight of her eyes, which had transformed into a hauntingly darker shade of brown. However, just as quickly as the change occurred, her eyes reverted back to their original color, leaving me gasping in astonishment. Momentarily distracted, I averted my gaze for a brief moment, only to find Monaleo smiling at me when I looked back at her. Turning my attention back to my friends, I noticed that they were huddled together, their bodies trembling with fear. Confused and seeking an explanation, I stammered, "Umm, yes?" Monaleo, still wearing a smile, leaned in and whispered, "I was wondering if you would like to come over to my house for a sleepover, either tonight or tomorrow." Glancing at my best friends, their nods of approval silently urging me to accept, I agreed to the invitation. With a skip in her step, Monaleo bounded away, her happiness palpable. Once she disappeared from sight, I exhaled the breath I had unknowingly been holding, relieved to be free from the inexplicable aura that had surrounded her.

But what I didn't know was that I would be in danger tonight.
