A very dangerous game
Chapter 10
"Friendship and secrets"
The May Festival has always been a very big event at St. Paul College, ever since it's creation more than a hundred years ago. The students were getting ready and they voted for the theme in the beginning of the school year. It was going to be a costume party on "Romeo and Juliet" theme.
Candy was with Patricia and Annie in her room. Patricia was a St. Paul veteran, she was telling them about the May Festival.
- There's all sort of food, drinks, and we dance until late at night… And since it's on the week end, most of the students don't spend the night here…
- They go back home? Asked Annie.
- Maybe, but most of them rent rooms in hotels to…, said Patty.
- To…? Asked Annie.
- Make love, said Candy laughing.
- Oh…
Annie became bright as red. Candy was looking at her smiling.
- Oh Annie, you're still a virgin, right?
- You're not anymore? Said Annie surprise.
Patricia and Annie were looking at her.
- I'm not anymore, said Candy.
- Anthony? Said Annie.
- Yes, Anthony, said Candy.
- Oh, said Patty.
- How was it? Said Annie.
- Euh… I think I'm going to let you find out on your own, because it's different for everybody.
- Are you on the pill? Asked Patty.
- I forget too much to take the pill, said Candy.
- What do you do? Asked Annie.
- Condoms… and ever since we got here, I haven't done it…
- Why? Said Patty, you don't like it anymore?
- It's not that… I… didn't feel like doing it…
- Ah! Said Patty, with Anthony?
- Can we not talk about this anymore? Said Candy, I'm not too comfortable talking about this…
Candy wanted to make love with Terry, ever since the bet which he didn't honor…
- Ok Candy, said Annie, let's talk about something else.
They started talking about the party and dates.
- You've got your dear Anthony, said Annie, I have no one.
- Me neither, said Patty.
Candy didn't want to tell them that Terry was going to be her date and not Anthony.
- It's not too late yet, said Candy, you might get invited.
- We can still dream, said Patty, oh well…
Candy thought about her cousins… she didn't want to tell her friends what she had in mind before talking to her cousins.
- I have to finish my paper on Social studies, said Annie, see you later girls.
- All right, said the other two.
Annie left to go back to her room. Patricia stayed with Candy.
- Thank you for being my friend Candy, she said.
- You're nice. That's normal.
- I didn't have any friends before you… I had…
- What?
- A secret… I'm going to show you later.
- All right, said Candy.
- I'll see you later…
- See you later Patty.
Patricia left. Candy took her mobile phone and called her cousins.
- Archie? Is Alistair with you?
- Yes, said Archie, are you ok?
- Yes… can I come and see you?
- Of course Candy, we're waiting for you…
Candy went to the boys' dormitory to go see her cousins. Which she could do officially during the day, since they were from the same family. She arrived in the room. Anthony was not there and she didn't ask where he was.
- You want to drink something? Said Archie.
- No thank you…
- What can we do for you?
Candy took a deep breath.
- I have a big favour to ask you…
- What? Said Alistair.
- Do you have dates for the May Festival?
- No, said Archie, but I wanted to invite this girl…
- I had no one in mind, said Alistair.
- Archie, Alistair, my two friends need dates…
- Your friends? Said Archie.
- Annie and Patricia…
- Oh…, said Archie.
- Please Archie… Alistair?
- All right said Alistair, Patricia is the one with glasses like me? I'll invite her…
- Archie? Annie Brighton is very beautiful… I know you had another girl in mind…
- Aside from you? He said joking.
- Aside from me, yes… Please…
- All right, he said against his will…I'm going to invite her…
- Oh thanks guys!
She hugged them and then…
- I'm going to go now… not a word to the girls! They have to believe you're interested in them…
- Great! Said Archie.
- Come on bro, you're forced to go out with a beautiful girl… boo-hoo! Said Alistair.
- She is beautiful, said Archie.
Candy left and she wanted to go out, but she had to go to her room to get something.
oOoOoOoOoOo
Neil Reagan was a bastard. With his friends, they had decided to dig a big hole to catch girls… so they can force them to do whatever they wanted by gratitude, for getting them out of the hole.
Terry was on a tree looking at everybody, like God almighty. He saw Neil and his friends killing themselves digging that big hole. They must've been digging for days to have a hole so big and so deep. He saw Candy's friend, the one with the glasses coming out of the stables with a box in her hands… Then he saw Neil and his friends disappear after covering the whole with branches and leaves…
Eliza Reagan was passing by, carefree and bam! She screamed while she fell in the hole. Eliza Reagan! Terry didn't feel like getting her out of there. He looked around to see if Daniel and his friends were coming back, but they were nowhere to be found! He decided to wait a little. Eliza was screaming for help. Nobody was coming. He couldn't ignore the screams of a damsel in distress…
"Oh bloody hell!" he said coming down the tree.
He took his red jacket he had hooked on a branch and put it on. He took his whip and walked towards the trap.
Eliza was angry, screaming her lungs out. She saw Terry and her face literally lit up.
- Terry! I knew you'd come and to get me out of here!
- Ah! I laugh! Said Terry, what is it that I see? Eliza Reagan in the girls' trap?
- Is that how you get your girls? By trapping them? Said Eliza, Terry, honey, you don't need a trap for girls… I'll take you anywhere, anytime…
"In your dreams! " Said Terry,
- Eliza, I don't need a con to get girls! Your cowardly brother and his friends are responsible for this hole!
- I can believe my stupid brother doing this! So you're going to get me out of here or not?
"I actually feel like leaving you in there!" said Terry to himself.
- Grab by whip, said Terry handing it to her, I'm going to pull her up
- All right…
- I didn't think you were so cruel with animals, a whip?
- I don't hit my Sheila, Eliza, the whip comes with the costume and up until now I've only used it on your stupid brother and his idiot friends…
Eliza grabbed the whip and Terry pulled her up. Eliza was heavy… and gravity was not helping things. He had to make an effort and he managed to get her out of the hole. She almost fell back and Terry caught her, holding her by the waist, and the cow took advantage of the moment to put her lips on Terry's! Before Terry realized what was going on, she was kissing him with her tongue! Terry stepped back with her, he almost pushed her back in the hole, and he pushed her way with all his strength!
- Hey! Stop that!
- What? I was saying thank you honey…
- You didn't need to be so exuberant…
- It was a pleasure honey, you kiss like a god! I can't wait to have you in my bed! How is it going with Blondie?
- Fine…
- She hasn't fallen into your arms yet?
- It's on a good way…
- You must be doing something wrong…
- She's not as easy as you, said Terry irritated.
Eliza was hurt by the remark.
- I'm living my life, there's no arm to that… You're trying to discourage me pretty brown? It won't work, you're going to f*uck me, if it's the last thing you do in this world. Otherwise, you can say goodbye to Blondie!
Terry had a mean look for her and he left. That deal with Eliza was like the sword of Damocles on the top of his head. He wiped his mouth, that tigress was not going to let go of him any time soon!
"In what quagmire did I put myself into?" He asked himself discouraged.
