Chapter 10 - The Past

Meg felt pride as she ascended to the bikes area. She was wearing white airphones that stick out. Locking her bike like an boss, she ascended up the stairs to her high school. She is now 18 years old. Unlike her Elementary School experience, all of the kids at her Middle School are here due to the kids wanting to be with her as her friends. Even seniors find her cool and wants to hang out with her. Literally, Meg is not only the coolish senior but the most popular kid in school... again. This was just almost the middle of the year.

She's also very smart and intelligent which is why she is basically in college due to this school being magnet and Meg have been offered chances. She agreed to the best one due to it offering much more chances in the future for free, and the school been satisfying her needs. Her school years were smooth and calm as she was getting closer to the end of the year. Honestly, time seem to be going fast.

Around her neck was a laner with a picture of her in the Basketball game a few years back, the ball in her right hand as she seems to be pushing it down with fake speed from photoshops making it look all too real. She was wearing a black shirt, black pants, and black hair.

Meg went inside and walked up to Perry's locker. She removed her airpods that she have just brought that came out like one day ago. "Sup, girl," she said, handshaking her friend. "Where's Ryan?"

"He's coming," Perry states before shooting her an teasing smirk. "Why don't you ask him out? After all, you two have been friends for years and will likely be the most cutest couple."

"Shut up," Meg said, a blush coming onto her face at her friend's assumption. "After all, me and him don't see each other like that. Plus, I have plans for the future, like taking my driver lesson test pretty soon. Also, I'm not too worried but my mom continuously warned me not to get into a lifestyle of drugs."

It wasn't a big thing at this school at the very least. All of the kids here wants a fulfilling life, and not invested into getting into drugs that would ruin their life. Another good thing is that the boys are avoiding to get a girl pregnant. Or anything sexual that can ruin their life all at once. This school is strict on that, and all kids are not going to risk it.

Sure, kids can hug and possibly kiss in the halls because nothing can stop that... not even the guards even if they wanted to. But they knew their boundaries and restrictions, so really the principal didn't make a big deal out of it.

"Yeah, I hear you," Perry said as she place her headphones on. They weren't as cool as Meg, but still good for a person who didn't have much of an paycheck as Meg and her family has.

Just than, someone ran up with fast speed. Shocked, Meg saw her best friend since kindergarten standing there. He was wearing a black jacket with a symbol "J" laying over the pocket of her jacket.

"Heyhaveyoutwoheardaboutthefieldtripthatiscomingout?"

Meg and Perry stared at each other. "What?" Meg questioned, shooting an stare to her friend who was equally confused.

Seeing that they were confused, Ryan slowed his pacing of words. "Have you two heard about the field trip that is coming out?" Ryan inquired. "The teachers were talking about going to another school name: James Wood High School, in Quahog."

Instantly, Meg were clutching her head as she fallen back. "Meg, are you okay?" Perry asked, noticing Meg in pain, as Meg remembered her birthparents at that horrible place.

Feeling the urge to throw up, Meg turned from them fastly and ran to the bathroom and gotten to the toilet and threw her breakfast up. That town has been an place where she never wants to take another step back into with those horrible people.

She had faintly remember her birth father's friend that lived next door with that red polo shirt and blue pants. At the age of five, even she thought he was weird. But it was safe to say now that he was a sex offender and likely molested girls.

Meg went out and washed her hands and saw her friends staring at her with concern. Knowing that her past that still, once in a while, hunts her 'till this day must never be revealed, Meg finally answers. "Yeah, I'm okay," she said hoarsely, the pain in her voice clear. Her two friends clearly didn't buy the BS but shrugged it off as her being sick.


Meg have been dysfunctional all day. Since she had heard about the field trip from her friends, she currently wasn't as active. Now, since this was 5-8 period day, she was currently in her eight period, sitting down in front of her computer. Her friends and fellow classmates were all worried about her since she always been an talker but she have been quiet lately. Lately, she just been on her headphones whenever the teacher allows them breaks and free time. Now, Meg is in her computer class, finishing assessments that she hadn't been able to finish.

Meg stiffened when she heard her teacher. "Alright class, there is an field trip that is coming up." The blonde hair female teacher declared just as Meg finished her last assessment. Meg looked at her clock to see it was 2oclock which means school is bound to end in 30 more minutes. Meg than turned back to her teacher. and saw her handing papers out to each of the students in her class.

As soon as her teacher gotten to her desk and place the paper on it, Meg closed her eyes as she silently begged that it wasn't what she think it was, only for her eyes to go wide.

On the permission slip, the word "Adam West High School" were on top of the sheet, and lines where her parents can sign were all over the bottom. A shiver crawl onto Meg's body, and her bones froze as her life seemingly left her face. "Ewwww!" She heard an girl exclaimed. "My cousin's friend goes to that school and call it absolutely disgusting! Everything about the school is nasty!" It wasn't long before the whole class were talking about the school.

The teacher sat back down with a slight cringe. Normally, she would reprehend the students in her class for being rude but by the look on her face, she didn't seem like she'd wanted to go herself. No wonder it's such a low price.

"Who would go there?" Ryan asked his best friend who sat beside him. "Search online and you would see the rating of that school."

Meg frowned as the class went quiet excluding the whispers from very few students. The field trip would be in two months. Suddenly she remember what Ryan had told her about online. Instantly, Meg use the mouse and went to a new tab and searched up Adam West High School, only for her eyes to go wide. It have only half 1 star and she use her mouse to levitate to the reviews, only to see horrifying reviews that she had never seen before in any other schools she looked up:

"My daughter gotten jump there by girls."

"The staff is horrible and is disrespectful."

Meg saw many reviews similar to those, until she came across one and read it.

"My son went there as an freshmen and was abducted and gang raped by five girls who was sophomores. They had record him being raped by them and crying for them to stop and put it all over the internet. Before he was taken out, he was laughed at and nearly killed himself. When I confronted the staff, they merely shrugged it off that I have pressed charges and luckily won the case. I had to send my son to therapy for help and he is still frighten this day. This school is horrible and for those who is watching over this review never go/never send your child there."

Meg flinched at that one. Males being rape was not reported a lot, but clearly this school has a bunch of problems. What's sad is that as she continues to go down, she have saw reviews similar to that one where boys and girls were being raped or beat up; some were even by the same genders. In some cases, the victims haven't won the case which send her into depression. She would have to take a picture of these reviews and warn everybody. Meg did just that and put it in her group chat, commenting, "Be careful if you go there."

In seconds later, she have received many replies saying: "Thanks." Even kids in her class were on their phones immediately thus her text. Meg frowned as she saw all the replies praising her, even teachers were replying to her and praising her for warning kids who may be caught off-guard.

At the thought of possibly being send to that school had she stayed with the Griffins, a shiver form on her features. That school possibly would have done many things towards her, even if she was an girl because there's more reviews on boys beating up girls. She really wished she had reasons to sue that school because her parents gotten good lawyers but sadly there is no chance or proof. She had really wanted to save all of those poor kids who may be innocent in that school and put those popular kids in shame.

Grimacing, Meg instantly had an thought as she have remembered parts of her family. Making a new tab and closing the old one, Meg decided to searched up: "The Griffins" for some reason and saw a picture of three people at first. Meg saw Peter Griffin, Lois Griffin, and Chris Griffin, who grown older from the last time she had seen them. The fact that they're basically all over the internet is surprising for the young girl. She then went towards Peter's profile and saw many cases that he have gotten away with somehow. Same for Lois, and even Chris. They have robbed, mugged, rape, and all these type of cases. Chris had the least with mugging and robbing but he was just a kid for some. Meg then went to relations and saw family members. She saw the name Brian Griffin and clicked on it only to see a standing dog with a beer mug. That was surprising, and not normal especially with a dog standing on feet like he is human. She then clicked out and were surprise. Her heart froze and all of the confidences and successes from the 11 years before seem to have left her with a single blink of her eyes. She had felt sick and her head begin pounding with sweat as she let it died in. So those disgusting parents have another child...

She said two words:

"Stewie Griffin."
