Seven Sins

Chapter 16: The School Event

"Wow, you rich people have all kinds of drama going on" Raven laughed

I rolled my eyes

"Trust me, you don't wanna know" I muttered

"So seven brothers huh?"

"I'm just as surprised as you are"

We spoke as we descended the stairs

"I mean by the looks of your mother, it's no surprise"

"She's got some pretty strong genetics"

We laughed as I showed her to my room

There was a knock at the door and my dad walked in, holding an inflated mattress and some duvets in the other

"Heard we have a guest staying over" He grunted laying the mattress down

"Oh thanks, this is perfect actually" I said, holding my dad's arm and leading him out the door with me,  I shut the door behind me

"Dad are you really leaving tomorrow?"

He held me by the arms
"I'm going to be back very soon, there's just a few things we want to get out of the way before everything gets busy with the whole wedding buzz, I know I haven't been able to spend a whole lot of time with you, but I promise I'll make it up to you"

I hugged my dad before we said goodnight.

I guess I couldn't complain, not on his big day... and Mia seemed nice so far

The next morning when I woke, Raven was already gone.

Regardless I hurried to get ready and rushed to the kitchen hoping I'd catch my dad for breakfast, but to my dismay it was only Carter, little Alex and Cody sitting at the table.

After breakfast, Carter insisted that Cody and I walk to school together, and so we did, but Cody always managed to stay 10 steps ahead, avoiding any conversation and keeping his earphones plugged in.

I didn't mind the quiet walk, I wondered if life would always be like this...

The school day was different today and there was a whispering buzz that was spreading around the students.
There was an assembly to be held before the first lunch break for our grade.

Rumors were going around that the school was planning a fundraising event.

During the assembly, everyone gathered in the grand hall and Mrs. Holiday came to the podium to make the announcement.

"I'm sure you've all heard of it annual fundraising event for our seniors, and this year the school will be running our very own café experience in the grand library, staffed and served by our very own students"

"Wow!" "How fun" the chirps of students could be heard

"- this is a very serious event and I hope you won't take it lightly, Mrs. George will be in charge of delegating tasks so make sure to go and see her if you are willing to take up a planner position which will count for service credits on your report"

Mrs. George waved from behind Mrs. Holiday, wearing big glasses and flashing her peach acrylic nails.

I figured I'd take up the position, I had time on my hands anyway.

"And as a reward for your hard work,  we will be having our very own concert, with a celebrity guest performance"

The crowd gasped and girls cheered excitedly clapping at the announcement

"Thank you, see Mrs. George in the back hall now if you please" Mrs. Holiday concluded.

The next week was spent organizing student meetings, planning menus and table settings as well as delegating different tasks to different students.

After a strenuous week of overtime the day finally came,

The school was bustling with new people, parents and visitors, all gathered for some coffee and cake in the vintage style library that was converted into a restaurant, the tables were covered and even small candles were lit.

The boys were working as ushers, parking assistants and chefs, all wearing the appropriate attire, it was refreshing seeing them in suits for once, they even had Axel in the back kitchen, but last I saw him he was leaning against the outside kitchen wall trying to light a cigarette.

The girls were working as waitresses and chefs too, the costumes for the girls were hired and unfortunately the company had sent party style costumes and they were incredibly short dresses that bounced as the girls happily moved around serving cupcakes and coffees.

"Yara! Oh there you are" Mrs. George waddled to me with her clipboard in hand
I was just walking in with a box full of serviettes from the storeroom.

"One of the girls is sick, i need you to take her waitressing job or we're going to fall behind, there's too many people, LEONARD! DON'T HOLD THE TRAY LIKE THAT YOU'LL SPILL!"

she obviously had her hands full. "-anyway go to the bathroom and get the uniform from her, Pronto!" She checked something on her checklist before rushing off to another student.

I sighed as I left the box by the kitchen staff and headed to the bathroom

"Steph? I'm supposed to get the costume from you?" I called out

The bathroom was full of people and all the stalls were full, a dress was thrown over the stall door as a girl gagged inside

I picked the dress up and made my way past the girls

"I heard it's gonna be Evan" the one said
"Doesn't he go to this school?" The other asked shyly

"Apparently he does online schooling since he tours so much"

"He's so cute!" Their voiced faded as I walked out 

They couldn't possibly mean our Evan... right?

Since the bathrooms were full I made my way to the storeroom, it was dark and secluded so I headed in and began undressing I pulled the dress on and the skirt was barely covering my mid thigh, I was buttoning up the front when the door opened and shut smoothly behind me.

Why is it that I always forget to lock doors.

I turned quickly "Hey you can't be in here!" I yelled before a hand came over my mouth

My eyes widened I couldn't make out his face but he had a very familiar scent of musk and alcohol.
His other arm wrapped tightly around my waist pulling me close so that my exposed bra was now pushing against his chest.

His grip was strong.

"Why do you act like that huh? Like you don't know me?" It was definitely Evan by the sound of his low voice

He was so close I could feel his breath on my face.

I pushed hard against his chest and managed to turn around, clutching my arms over trying to hide myself
He pushed me against the wall so that my head was almost against it and kept his arm pushing over my back.

I felt a light graze of his finger under my thigh, he traced up my side lifting my skirt.

"Evan stop" I struggled but his hold was too strong and the sensation of his touch had me frozen in place

His finger went over my pantyline, lightly feeling,  and suddenly his lips were over my neck, sucking and tugging softly at the skin, I was breathing heavily when his teeth sunk in

"Oww!" I yelled out
I turned and punched into the darkness, I felt my knuckles land hard.

He staggered back wards and chuckled before recollecting himself and exiting from the door.

I was left behind a half sweaty nervous mess with a wet neck
