Erica's POV

I was so embarrassing that I need to ask permission from my parents to join a party with my friends. I am 17 years old for god sake, but still live like a elementary kid. I'm not sure how the others thought of me. Eddie seems fine but Nancy them looks like I was making a joke to them. I sighed and continue walking back to my home.

Nancy had told me that Andrea was a bad influence student in school. She also told me that she was a player (I prefer use that word instead of other words. That's too disrespectful) and sleeping around with the girls in this school. For me I think this kind of happened was agreed by both side? I guess there have a term so call none commitment relationships. So far that was what I know from some story books or movies.

Yes, she liked to flirt but she didn't take advantage on me. I realized that she was a protective person. Just now when I was having history class with her, those pervert busy looking me up and down and I felt like my body was scanned by them without any clothes. I felt so exposed to them but thank god that Andrea could sense my uneasy and she let me sit in the corner to avoid I disturb by them again.

As Eddie's comment about Andrea, I should listen to him that she is a cool and nice friend. Perhaps Nancy them could see the good side of Andrea. Hmmm why am I keep defending for her? I'm not sure what had happened to me. Early in the morning I found that she was annoying. But, second class I found that she was protective and caring. I sighed and finally back to home. Whenever I thought about asking their permission to outing with my friends they would ask a lot of question. I sighed again have to think better excuse.

"Hi mum." I smiled when I saw my mum reading some magazine and sit at the sofa elegantly. She glanced at me and smile "Oh you're home sweetheart." She patted empty place next to her and I joined her. "So, did you meet any new friends?" I nodded my head and I was surprised this was the first time she asked me such a question "That's good." "Um mum?" I started my question in hesitate, she tiled her head and motioned her hand to ask me to continue "I um, my friends invited me to join their school mate party. I just want to ask permission from you and dad."

"Why not, you should join the party. You should be more socialize and make more friends which is useful for you in future you know?" I blinked and surprised "Really? I'm allowed to join the party?" "Yup, sweetheart. Look, you already adult enough to know what are right or wrong. We won't control or watch you like a hawk because you are not a baby anymore. Whenever you want to hang out with friends just inform me will do."

Was I dreaming? My eyes widened and looked at her "But, make sure you're behave and don't ruin our reputation. You always have to be good girl and don't make any scene." She said sternly and I only nodded my head and grinned "Thanks mum!" I'm so excited that I finally could hang out with friends after 17 years of my life.

Once I reached my room and sat on my bed, I pinched my lap and yelped. Okay, that's not a dream. I grinned like an idiot now, I can't wait this coming Friday. This is my first time join the classmate's party and I wonder how the party looks like. That will be fun if something like the teen's drama or film I have watched.

I hummed my favourite song and place my bag on my chair. I realized have a torn paper inside my bag. Who so rude simply thrown a paper inside my bag. I huffed and took the paper out. A doodled of me? Probably was Andrea's work. I read the note and I chuckled how lame she was.

"You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off of you."

I thought her favourite songs might be metallic song I didn't realize the taste of her songs are romance type. Or she just thought I'm the romance type? I should stop thinking about her, I need to study now.

***************

Time flies and today is Friday I'm getting excited that I'm going the party tonight. However I found something odd on Andrea, she seems off recently. Even though she will give me the playful smirk, she less communicates with me and she din even joined lunch with us. Both of us were only seeing each other during class. I found that was weird but I just ignored it because we are like classmate and nothing I should think about.

After I finished my make up, I looked into the mirror and have a look to myself. Tonight I decided wear a white floral knee length sundress and white high heels. I put my hair in high ponytail for myself look fresh tonight. Once I done, I wait for Eddie to fetch me at living room. I'll home alone for two weeks since my parents were outstation to work yesterday.

I heard my door knocked I'm pretty sure that knock was Eddie's because the sound of knock was playful. When I opened the door he grinned "I'm glad you make it, come on let's go." While I get in Eddie's car, I only saw Nancy at passenger seat "Hi Nancy" "Hi" Nancy replied "Um where are Lily and Annie?" "Oh, Lily got driving too, and then Annie followed her." I nodded my head "I see." I smiled and she seems like not interested to talk any further then I decided stay quiet.

The place we were going party was about 20 minutes away. Thankfully we didn't spend much time to there. I felt like I was a third wheel passenger and awkward. Nancy was busy talking and laughing with Eddie. I knew Eddie nice enough will bring up the some topics with me. However, I saw Nancy will frown or felt irritate whenever Eddie try to brought their conversation with me. I actually feel like better be quiet and stay at my seat alone.

Finally we arrived. That was a mansion really like the scenarios in teen's drama. Outside the mansion already flooded with a lot of teenagers. Some of them smoking, intimating, and dancing.

Nancy linked her arm to Eddie's arm and she stuck with him like glue while I followed them behind awkwardly. Once I was entered the mansion, I almost choked by the smell of smoke. I saw majority of teenagers drunk and enjoy themselves. "Hey guys!" I saw a tall and good looking guy greet with us I think he might be Edgar the host of the party "Hey Edgar!" Eddie greeted him and gave him a manly hug. "Any drinks you want?" Edgar slurred and continued "Or you want some smoke." he paused looked around then smirked "Girls?"

"No, we are good. I will bring my friends explore around and grab some drinks dude." Eddie smiled and motioned Nancy and me. "Hey are you new student? This is first time I see you around." He stared at me and grinned then extended his hand "Edgar" I smiled and shook his hand "Erica" "Beautiful name that suit you." He planted a kiss on back of my hand and winked. I mumbled "Thank you." Besides this silly respond I have no idea what should I talked about.

"Hey, we will explore around first." Eddie patted Edgar and pulled me to join them "So, let's explore around and then we grab some drinks, sound good?" I smiled and nodded.

When we explored around the mansion really huge I'll lost if I stuck in this mansion. Finally we reached the kitchen and saw a lot of alcohol and soft drinks. "What drinks do you want to take?" Eddie asked "Coke will do." He grabbed a can of coke and passed to me and I thanked him "Seriously? You all the way come to here only take soft drinks instead of alcohol?" Nancy asked I smiled "I'm not fans of alcohol." She scoffed "Boring." What was wrong with her? I could take whatever drinks I like, right?

"Hey Eddie wanna dance?" Nancy smiled at him and caresses his arm before Eddie could respond, I took the hint from Nancy and I quickly said "Yea Eddie you can have fun with Nancy. I'll go and find Andrea." I smiled and Eddie asked "Are you sure you are fine? I'll take you to meet Andrea before I join Nancy." I saw Nancy eyes dagger towards me and I almost wanted to roll my eyes "Eddie, I'm fine. I can explore around and make new friends. Anything I'll call you I promise." I reassured when he wanted to convince me end up pulled away by Nancy "Come on Eddie, Erica already told you that she is fine. She will find Andrea and you don't have to worry about her." Eddie mouthed sorry and I smiled and reassured him.

I tried to walk around the mansion and looking for Andrea at the same time. Finally I saw her nearby the swimming pool and I rolled my eyes. She was busy kissing a blonde and others people behind her and cheered around. I think I should leave her alone have her fun. I turned away and try to find other place but stopped by the angelic voice "Hey princess." I rolled my eyes again and turned to face her.

She looks like a little tipsy, her face red and eyes also like sleepy eyes. "Finally you came! I have been waiting for you!" She slurred. Yes busy flirting and have fun with other girls to kill your lonely time and I snorted "But you are having good time without me." She laughed "Oh! About making out with that chick was a game. It was truth or dare game, princess." I scoffed "What a lame game." She laughed again "You have no chill, princess. Okay, if you dislike this kind of games. Wanna dance?" She wiggled her eyebrows I shook my head "No, I don't dance."

"Come on, this is the best thing we could do in the party. Are you sure you only want to just walk around and sitting around without any fun?" she extended her hand and I crossed my arms she chuckled "Trust me, it will be fun." before I could protest she already pulled me and she placed my hands to her neck. Then, she held my waist caused me shiver down my spine. Why would I have such effect from her?

The music now was playing Dua Lipa don't start now. Andrea pulled me closer to her and she stared at me longingly. Our faces were only a few inches away. She was grinning and her green eyes flicked to my lips I gulped. Is she going to kiss me? Be calm we are only dancing. Both of us enjoy the music and dancing without any words. I didn't feel awkward at all and I feel comfortable being around with her.

"You are really beautiful, princess." She used her right hand caressed my face and I leaned in for her to touch. I felt great and comfortable by her touch. Then I felt another hand cupped my face and I flicked my eyes, my heartbeat was racing fast. Her eyes were closed and her lips almost touching mine. What was going on? No! I think I can't do it. Before I tried to remove myself from her, she kissed my.......

Face! How come I felt disappointed? I should be sighed of relief but I am frustrated instead. She pulled away and smiled "Erica, do you want to have a date with me?" She smiled in sincere but I was too disappointed that she was teasing me around and treated me like a fool. I gripped collar of her clothes to pull her closer and I whispered at her ear "In your dream." I shoved her into the swimming pool and walked away. "Wow! You eagerly make me wet so soon huh!" She yelled and laughed as I already walked away.

"Ouch! What the Fuck!" I accidentally bumped into a guy and cause his drink fell on floor I gasped and feel bad "I'm sorry! I'm terrible sorry." When the guy looked at me his face softened. He smiled "Nah, it's okay. Drinks I could get again." I smiled "Wanna have a drink?" He asked "Sure." I smiled "What drinks do you want? I'll grab one for you." "Orange juice, please." I smiled "Okay, oh you can sit at the bench there and I'll be right back." He motioned the bench nearby and I sit there and wait for him.

The boy finally back and he passed a glass of orange juice for me and I thanked to him "I haven't caught your name. What's your name?" "Erica" he smiled "Nice name, I'm Chris. Nice to meet you." He used his glass for me to clink with him. "Nice to meet you too, Chris." I smiled and take a sip of the orange I frowned and felt the orange slightly bitter but after another sip seem normal.

We have a nice chat, but right now I felt my body was warm and my head was dizzy "You okay?" Chris smiled but his smiled was a sly smile. I felt something wrong to him now "I'm fine. I need to go to the bathroom and I'll be right back." Oh god Chris might a bad guy I have to leave but I think everything was too late for me "Okay I'll take you to the bathroom." He held my waist and pulled me up. My body getting weak I tried to pull him away but my limbs like jelly now. No no no! Someone help me please.

Suddenly I felt my entire body was carried up I heard the music was blaring around and I heard giggles of Lily and Annie I yelled "Help me." "I'm helping you now pretty girl." Chris chimed "Awwww" Lily and Annie said I was so speechless why they din help me? Where is Eddie?

I heard their voice getting far away from me and the place getting quiet. Then I felt myself thrown into a soft mattress. I heard the door was shut. Pray hard he din lock the door. No no! Please don't do something stupid to me!

A/N: Warning, sexual harassment scene.

"Pretty girl, we are going to have fun." That evil said and I could feel he touched my face. "Please, don't do this to me." I cried and he shushed me "Shhhh, it is okay, later you will plead me to finish what i have started." I felt he pull me up and peeled of my jacket then laid me back.

"Stop! Please!" I felt my face sting "Shut up! You want to play hard? I'll do that for you Bitch!" I felt my sundress tore off by him I sobbed and screamed "Help!!! Stopped this!!!! Help!!" Again this time I felt I get punched by him "Shut the fuck up! Or I'll let you passed out and finished what I have started!" I hated that I can't move even screamed also merely could screamed. I could felt his hands ran over my body. I couldn't do anything now. Someone help me please! I hope someone could hear me now.

Then I heard the voice of unbuckle button of jeans and fumbled belt I heard he snickered "Look at you bitch, you already wet for me."

I'm totally done and I feel like I'm dying now.
