Chapter 11

Chapter 11 lis

After winning one mil we eventually head home well to our dorms and I give Darrel a hug and we head down the path giggling and shoving until we get to the oval and we see the yellow tap Crime Scene Do Not Cross and stop in our tracks "what the hell happened here"Tori whispers

"I don't know let's go find out" we sneak back to the building and knock on the neighbouring dorm to find a Asian girl who's rather pretty and I say "hi" while Tori goes straight for the plunge and says " what happened on the oval today???" The Asian looks startled and invited us in "a girl snuck some guy from the other school and then he killed her after doing... Things" she says the sees the clock "OMG you've got to go please I don't want to get in trouble" she says the fear visible in her voice " ok well leave" tori replies and I say " I'm Ayalisse and this is Victoria and you can call us lis and tori, bye" I smile and she calls out "I'm Jenny maybe talk to you later" and she shuts the door.

A girl was murdered after being raped today. If that's a Crime Scene they'll be investigating the area and we won't be able to sneak off school grounds for a while. Especially if they found out we were seeing boys from the academy next door. They'd kill us.

"They'll probably lock us inside tomorrow as well" Tori seemed to be adding to me thoughts and I frowned.

"This is just great, fantastic" I say sarcastically going to take a shower.

Tori just climbs into her bed and says she's going to call Ambrose and let them know, that she'll see me when I come back from showering.

I smile and enter the bathroom turning on the water to a scalding temperature until the room fills with mist. I get in the shower and feel my muscles relax instantly, enjoying the feeling of the water pounding on my back. I start to think and wonder who was killed today and decide to call the receptionist and ask her. When I get out I slip into a fluffy pair of pjs and head toward my mobile and slide it on typing in 333 to reach the receptionist and call tori over turning it onto speaker "hello reception desk how may I help you?"

"Ahh I was calling in the light if a recent incident regarding ah.... A student here" attempting to sound like an adult " I'm rather worried about my daughter" I say "you would like to know who it was miss?"

"Yes!" I say worry showing through

" it was a miss Annabelle Martin "

"Oh thank god my babies safe thank you bye miss" and I hang up in a fit of giggles. "Wait!" Isn't she the most popular girl in the school Marian's best friend "OMG your right the poor bitch" well somebody learned a lesson I think to myself.

A couple of hours later I have decide to trust tori and come out of a hole. "Tori?"

She leans around the door "yea?"

"Come and sit down" she walks over and asks "why?" Sitting down next to me I pause " promise not to tell ANYONE this at all" calm down lis I think " I'm going to tell you why I can here and why I'm not going home but I'm not going to go into detail THAT" I breathe in " I'll save for another day" tori looks at me " ok I'll try not to judge" she says with a wink. "Well I don't have any parents..." I burst into tears "or any family..." Sobs rack my body and I try to go on " I stayed at a home where it was legal for them to beat me" I show her a scar on my neck part of the reason my hair is always down and she gasps. "My parents.... I'll tell you that anther day" I regain my composure and give a weak smile " I used to have a cousin I was really close to he he went first" I stand abruptly then look around hopelessly and sit back down.
