Chapter 8: What Have You Done?
Craig comes into the classroom.
"Help me Craig," Manny pleaded. She was still lying across the desk, her makeup was smeared all over her tear stained face.
"Lock the door behind you," Mr. Oleander demanded. He locked the door behind him and Manny's eyes widened. She didn't understand what was going on. Mr. O was still holding her down and he re-covered her mouth with his hand. He moved around his desk so that he was behind her head. Manny cried even harder and couldn't believe this was happening to her.
"Manny, you've been a bad girl. You didn't have to break up with me, we would have been so happy together. But you had to ruin my life didn't you? Well this is your punishment." He pulled his own pants down and Mr. Oleander turned away as he too raped Manny. By the time he stopped, Manny was an hour late meeting Emma. Craig and Mr. Oleander finally let her go. She still didn't know what to do, she just stood there, speechless.
"You are not going to tell anyone about this Manny. You know you wanted it and if you tell anyone, they won't believe you," Mr. O threatened. "If you do tell anyone, we'll just do it again. You wouldn't want that would you?" Manny shook her head no and looked at the ground. Tears were still streaming down her cheeks.
"Stop crying you little slut," Craig added. He unlocks the door and holds onto Manny's hand so that people will think they were there together. Mr. Oleander closed his door behind them and Craig dragged Manny toward the DCS front doors. When they are almost there, Craig bumps into Mr. Radditch. "Hi Mr. Radditch," he said.
"Aren't you two here a little late? And Manuela, have you been crying?" Mr. Radditch asked, his eyebrows rising suspiciously.
"I was just helping Manny with a surprise for the Spirit Squad. She got a little upset because we had a small fight, but we've made up now," Craig lied. As if to prove it, he leaned over and kissed Manny on the cheek. "See, it's all good!"
"Is that true Ms. Santos?" Mr. Radditch asked.
"Yeah," she answered quietly.
"Well, you two get home now. You need to be able to do your homework before school tomorrow," their principal added. Craig hurried out of the school, still dragging Manny behind him. As soon as they got out of the door, she ripped her arm from Craig and ran home as fast as she could.
When she got there Jason and Heather weren't home from work yet and the kids were at daycare. Manny ran down to her bedroom and Emma wasn't there either. She picked up her phone and called her best friend.
"Hey Emma, it's me, Manny. Yeah, do you want to come over now? JT kept me at the library late. He needed a lot of help with his Chemistry homework," she lied.
"Oh wait a minute Manny. Craig is calling me on my other line. I'll come over as soon as I'm done talking with him. Bye!" Emma said. Manny hung up the phone and curled up on her bed. She felt so ashamed and helpless.
About an hour or so later, Emma still hadn't showed up and her phone rang.
"Hello?" she said when she picked up the phone.
"Manny, it's Emma. Sorry, I can't come over. Craig is coming over because he wants to give me my present for our three month anniversary. I can probably come over tomorrow though," she explained. When Manny didn't say anything, Emma said, "Manny? Hello…are you there?"
"Yeah, that's fine," Manny said sadly. "I gotta go. Bye." She hung up the phone and rolled back over. All she could do was cry.
A/N: Sorry this chapter is short but people are bugging me to see who came into the room...so here it is for you. Chapter nine will probably be up by Tuesday ish. I know what's gonna happen but I haven't written it.
