TRUE STORIES

ARIANNA

'Layla, my name is Layla Park' the petite little brunette stood in front of our class. The boys were sure excited about the new transfer student.

I observe her from down to top. She was sexy. I will give her that. She was petite and nicely shaped. I never seen such a girl with perfectness. Which made me think. She is out of this world. If Terence was to know about this, he will surely get her before anyone else. Eventually he will know.

Layla sat near Arianna. A student who was quiet and dumb like. Her hair was a mess every day. I wonder why she never tried to talk back even if she didn't have her textbook. She never asks for anything either.

Layla tried to talk to Ari, but she just shyly peeked in response. She didn't give up like all the others. She talked even though she only gets cold silence.

The thing about Ari is that... once when she was alone with me in the girl's changing room she asked me if I go exploring. I was astonished. She never spoke to anyone. Hearing her for the first time and still shocked I managed to reply 'yeah. Who told you?'

'He did' was her short reply.

'Who?' but before I was passed the confusion stage she left me hanging.

I realized that Terence was the one being all loud mouthed. Everyone in the school knew he was into exploring. Not to mention, he also started filming his adventures and was uploading them on the internet. Aron also began to do the same thing, the three of the duo were always up to something. And Kevin and I were just sidekicks.

Back at home Terence was talking about Layla. He was pretty much obsessed with her. He even followed her home. And brought good news for us.

'Her house is really shabby. Like... despite how she looked and all, her house was like an abandoned one'

'The one down the Fox Lane?' Kevin asked.

'That's where all the abandoned places are' he shrugged.

'Well you are stalking her...which is somewhat creepy' I said.

'No I'm not stalking stalking...I'm just...observing' he acted innocent.

'Riiight' I rolled my eyes.

'We would be going exploring there. So save up your energy for then' Aron said. He was busily making us beet juice.

He poured us glasses. I took a sip and smacked 'torture'

The others also grimaced as they took a sip. Travis said 'the color is good though. Like blood' he acted like a vampire.

'Everything healthy will be torture to you guys. Now drink up. You lost the challenge anyway' he added with a smirk.

We were supposed to go alone to a mansion without Aron, and guess Terence was a bad caption who led us to danger. We barely survived the fall from the hill.

I finished mine before the others 'say... why Layla was living in such a place? Maybe because it's cheap?'

'God knows... but we will find out' Terence smiled devilishly.

On the day of exploring we were in the Fox lane casually walking by when we saw Layla. It wasn't school hours. But she was still in her uniform.

'Layla? Do you happen to have extra classes?' I asked.

She was carrying some bags. Which Terence suddenly offering to carry. She was hesitant but gave him the bags 'no... I went shopping for grandma. I haven't really gotten used to the roads yet and got lost'
