Helanie:
"Lamar!" I called for him again, and finally, he opened his eyes. This dude didn’t even care who was sitting on his lap. The way he could barely blink made feel bad for him. He was so drunk, and the girls around him were in full control of their senses.
"Hey, don’t drag my friend away," Lamar complained, but his voice was barely audible.
"She was anyway leaving," the girl lied, but I shrugged her arm off and pushed her away. Now that I knew he was so wasted that he couldn’t consent, I felt sick to my stomach.
"He can’t even allow you on his lap," I hissed at her, and she acted like I had said sothing completely out of the blue.
"Did he push away? No! So it ans consent," she placed her hands on her hips and argued. Of course, she did. That was typical of her. I would’ve expected such a defense from her. She was Sydney’s friend—they don’t really care about people around them or their rights.
"You fucking psycho, you touch my friend again and I’ll kill you," I muttered, giving her a little push.
Her eyes bugged out in shock as I continued, "He is too drunk to consent. So fucking stay away from him."
I couldn’t believe that girls were behaving this way without showing any realization that a man has rights too. But I knew how it felt when sobody touches you without your will.
"He likes girls’ attention. He’ll even do it with in the morning," she folded her arms over her chest and argued while I reached Lamar.
"Then do it tomorrow when you both can consent. Just because he sleeps with won doesn’t an he’s an open invitation now and has no right," I muttered, shaking my head in disbelief.
If everyone starts respecting the other’s space and dignity, we can make a heaven on this earth. But if wishes were horses, beggars would ride.
"Co on, Lamar, let’s leave." I put his arm around my shoulder and helped him up.
"You are a bad, bad woman—" While walking with , Lamar hissed at the girl, making her act shocked once again. As we made our way out of the guesthouse, I heard soone co after us.
I didn’t have to turn around to know who it was because she had already made so noise and made herself known to .
"Helanie, what’s going on?" Lucy stopped after and quickly put Lamar’s other arm over her shoulder. The minute he got support, that jerk lifted his legs and bent them, trying to swing.
"Yooooo!" he yelled like a child, making us instantly hunch over to relieve so pressure.
"Oh great, Jenny is here," I muttered as I raised my head.
Penn narrowed his eyes at us, holding his sunglasses in one hand and his phone and wallet in the other.
"What’s going on?" Jenny asked as she rushed toward us. Penn took a second but then managed to help Lamar into the car.
"We need to get Gavin out of here, and we have only two minutes left," I checked the ti on Jenny’s watch and announced, making the two girls stare at in confusion.
"He’s not going to leave," Lucy sighed tiredly, not realizing how urgent it was.
"Okay then, Lucy, go inside and bring out the others. Leave the troublemakers behind—Sydney and Salem included. And Jenny, your task is to bring Gavin out," I felt a little ashad of myself when I handed the task of getting Gavin to Jenny. It was obvious I believed he would listen to her more than Lucy.
Lucy did a double take but then rushed away. I guess I’ll be questioned about this later.
I couldn’t go back inside myself because I didn’t want Salem to see . If she did, she would realize sothing was wrong. How the hell did I escape the second floor?
"May I ask what’s going on?" After Penn had laid Lamar down in the backseat of his car, he approached to question what was happening.
"They’re drinking in the guesthouse, and I’ve been given five minutes by Professor Maximus to get everyone out. Or whoever stays in will be punished," I explained, and he narrowed his eyes at , probably trying to process my words.
"So why aren’t you going in there to announce it? Why just send two people in and bring them out one by one?" he asked, his hands on his hips.
"Because—I don’t want everyone to co out. So people deserve punishnt," I watched him squint at my words before he clicked his tongue.
"You’re so evil. For soone who’s endured bullying, you’re no saint either. Why would you want your classmates to be punished?" he hissed. "I’ll go announce it to everyone that they need to leave." He nodded his head, shocking with his comnt.
I didn’t stop him because I knew it was almost ti. I turned around and saw so students running out while Gavin walked toward briskly with Jenny. Even Lucy had co out.
"All set," Lucy said, smirking until she saw Gavin and then stared at Jenny.
Penn couldn’t even make it to the front porch of the guesthouse before Maximus ca out from the back. Penn stopped dead in his tracks, as he wasn’t stupid enough to get in trouble for a bunch of strangers.
He watched Maximus enter the house and then turned to stare in the eye. And when Norman showed up from the back, that’s when we all really started to worry about what would happen next.
"They’re all dood," Jenny whispered, shrugging when her brother’s eyes fell on her.
"It serves them right," I replied, folding my arms over my chest without breaking eye contact with Penn.
I didn’t care what he thought of . He wasn’t there when I got bullied or tortured, so he had no right or place to judge or advise .
