Elena saw the panicked looked in Megan's eyes and turned to her friends.
-Maybe we shouldn't do this. I mean come on we didn't have to do this.-
-I know, but since I'm the president I'm making a few new rules, and this is one of them. –replied Alicia – Come on Megan were not gonna wait here all night!-
Elena turned back to watch as Megan walked into the lake and saw her shake from either cold or fear or both.
-You have to swim to the middle!- yelled Christina
Elena knew Megan hated the water and didn't know why being in this sorority was so important that she was willing to risk her life for it. The other girls would never accept her anyway because she didn't own a Benz or vacationed in Bora Bora. Finally she saw Megan start to swim back and hoped Alicia was satisfied and wouldn't make her do other stupid shit.
All of a sudden there was a shriek and Megan disappeared under the water.
-Megan! Megan! This isn't funny! – yelled Jamie as all the girls ran to the water but no one wanted to go in.
They stayed by the edge yelling her name for a good ten minutes before they heard rustling in the bushes to the side and saw Megan walking out.
-What the fuck! What is wrong with you! We thought you were dead!-
-Oh come on Alicia don't act like you weren't hoping for that when you sent me into the lake- Megan replied coldly and walked past the four girls to Jamie's car. What the fuck. Megan would never have spoken to Alicia like that and the way she walked was like she owned the world, while she was just a lousy poor freshman compared to senior spoiled brat Alicia. As Elena walked to the back seat of the Escalade she thought she saw Megan's usually blue eyes turn black but as soon as she opened the door they were back their normal baby blue.
A hot shower and a few shots of Grey Goose was all Elena needed to relax her enough to get into her bed and forget all about the almost drowning and Megan's black eyes. Jamie was out probably with one of her many boyfriends so Elena had the room all to herself. "Goodnight world" she thought to herself as she sank into her Ralph Lauren silk sheets and turned off the lights. But soon as Elena turned her head she saw a figure standing on the balcony staring straight at her.
-Ahh!- the light were back on within second but as soon as Elena turned back to the balcony the figure was gone. She ran up to the window and saw a petite figure in a red hoodie with a tiger on the back walking behind a tree and around the corner.
-Oh my God, Are you okay? I heard you scream from down the hall!- yelled Jamie as she burst into the room with messed up and hair and a visible hickey.
-Fine- Elena replied as she went back to her bed. There is no way Megan could have gotten on her balcony, and no way she could've jumped off. Rationalizing that it was the Grey Goose not Megan she was seeing Elena fell asleep pushing the whole thing out of her mind.
Two weeks later
-I can't believe the funeral was yesterday-
-I can't believe she drowned in her dorm room, I mean she wasn't even in the shower-
-Right did she like leave the shower to die in her bed?-
-Lisa your retarded, but look at it on the bright side – said Christine – now we have a spot open and Jamie's little sister can have it right? What do you think Elena? Elena!
-Hey! – Alicia had to hit Elena's shoulder to get her attention. – What's wrong with you?-
-My friend just drowned in her own bed! How bout that!- Elena snapped back and walked out of the kitchen
-What's up with her, its not as if someone actually important died- said Christine
Elena felt as if she ran for hours until someone finally caught up with her. She didn't want to deal with anyone. All she thought about how Megan could've drowned without any water around if she managed not to drown in the lake. And how stupid her sorority sisters were talking about Megan as if she wasn't even a human being. Sometimes Elena hated the way they were and the way she was because she was exactly like them. Elena couldn't remember the last time she cared about something besides shoes and partying. No wonder her parents preferred her sister.
-Hey you didn't hear me calling you?- asked Trey as he ran up next to her
-Sorry I wasn't paying attention- she slowed down and started walking as he came closer and put his muscled arm around her small shoulders.
-How are you holding up? You ok?-
Elena just nodded. No matter how hot Trey was he was the last person she wanted to talk to right now especially about this.
-I knew you and that chick were cool so I was just wondering-
-Yeah we were cool. Look I really have to go- Elena shrugged his arm of her shoulder and turned to walk away as Trey pulled her back into a hug that engulfed her completely.
-I know you may not want to talk about this but if there is anything you need you can come talk to me. You know that right?-
-Yeah I know thanks-
-So.. how bout I come over tonight and we can I don't know do something to get your mind of this.-
-Sure whatever Elena just wanted to be left alone.
-I miss you- he said as he kissed her forehead and turned to jog back to the football field.
Elena knew what she saw in Trey. He was gorgeous. Attractive face, tattoos, biceps, abs that all the girls swooned over. The fact that he was prospected number one pick for the draft was also a big reason but to Elena that didn't seem important anymore. For some reason all the time she thought about how simple her life should be Megan's black eyes flashed back into her mind and she knew that simple life wasn't what she really needed.
Megan's mom looked a mess. Elena didn't understand why Megan's family insisted on this reception. I guess Megan's parents wanted to see all these beautiful people in their house and think Megan was happy with her life and had amazing friends who cared about her. Elena really wished none of the family members walked by the girls while they were discussing how bad Megan looked in her baby pictures and how none of her cousins were attractive. After about a few more minutes Elena couldn't take it anymore and headed for the door.
-So tell me again how this girl died said Dean as he pulled up to a semi big house that was surrounded by expensive cars. His Impala clearly did not fit in.
-The cause of death was drowning but she was found in her dorm room that doesn't even have a shower in it.- replied Sam as he told Dean the story for what seemed like the fifth time
-No shower. Damn. Here I am thinking I live rough.- Dean parked his car in front of the neighbor's yard and pulled out his fake ID and badge. – Considering that these girls live without showers how much you want to bet there will be something scary behind that door.-
As soon as he raised his hand to knock, the door open and a young girl almost walked in to him. Something scary was the furthers thing from what he saw. The girl was beautiful. Tall and slender with bright green eyes and dark hair that fell in curls over her shoulders. She looked up at him and her lips formed a circle like she didn't know what to say. As close as she was Dean could smell her perfume and it was intoxication. Actually he wasn't sure if it was perfume or if she just smelled that good naturally.
-Can I help you- Elena said as she took a step back from the two boys. One was extremely tall with shaggy brown hair and a genuine cute face. The other guy was breathtaking. He was atleast 6 foot as well with dirty blond hair and green eyes. Something about the way he looked in the suit was intriguing. He seemed so out of his comfort zone in it but he still managed to pull it off.
-I'm detective Scott, this is detective Ross. Were investigating the death of Megan Fall.- said the taller one.
Elena took a quick look at their badges and something about them seemed off. –Now really isn't a good time. Megan's family had been through a lot and they already talked to the police.-
-Then maybe you can help us. You were a friend of hers right.-
-Sure but I can't tell you anything the police doesn't already know.-
-How bout you just go over it with me- said det. Ross as he walked down the driveway next to Elena giving her a sideways smile, which she knew must have gotten him lots of girls. – While my partner can go look over the crime scene.
Sam cleared his throat. But Dean just gave him a dismissive nod. For once Sam wished Dean would just focus on the job and not hit on the witnesses. Yes the girl was beautiful but they had a case to work and Dean was already distracted.
Soon as Sam was gone Dean turned to the girl. - So. You didn't even tell me your name-
-So, I'll tell you my name if you tell me your real one-
-Excuse me- Dean was shocked, this girl was clearly smart and he already knew she had attitude and could use it.
-You heard me-
-I am an FBI agent and you can't talk to me in this manner-
-Right and Im Cinderella. Now that we got that cleared up. What is it. – Elena looked him in the eyes- I promise I will still talk to you and I won't call the bureau to tell them you're pretending to be an agent.-
Dean looked back at her for a good moment. This girl was way different from what he expected just moment ago. She wasn't going to be just an easy lay. She was smarted than most girls he met, he could already see that. She also seemed honest and genuine. Dean trusted her promise even though he doesn't trust anyone. Hell he barely trusts his own brother.
-Dean- he said as he held out his hand
-Elena- she reached out and held his rough hand with her soft one.
