XV : Scarlet



No, easy baby, maybe I'm a liar.
But for tonight I wanna fall in love.

I spent my classes since morning to afternoon with a little struggle by people accusing me of having a hot sugar daddy.

Well, he's definitely every girl's dream. And he likes to buy me stuff, that's all.

It wasn't bad that no one talks to me, not even teachers, because nobody talk to me before anyway. Oh. But one, Jenna likes to talk to me though.

"Hey!"

Speaking of which.

I turned around to see her smiling at me.

"Hey, Jenna." I said, smiled back.

"Are you free today? Maybe we could go for a coffee?" She even helped me put my things in the back.

"I think i have to..." I hesitated a bit there, Peter said something about party. I decided to lie. "Work at Caulfield's."

She shrugged. "That's fine, how about we just walk out of the school together?"

"Alright." Classes are already over and having someone to talk to is good, I ended up walk with Jenna through the hallway, it feels so weird walking along someone, can't say that i hate it though.

"Hey aren't you coming this way?" I asked as she split away.

"Where are you going? There's a faster way to the gates. Through the back of the library, you never use that way out of the school?"

"No. I always go through the lab."

"This is way faster, c'mon."

It's so rare that suddenly someone will like and wants to be friends with you, i got a little happy. How did Jenna know me? I think one day she just talked to me directly.

She's not the same type of girl as me, i find conversation boring. But she's so comfortable with talking and socialize, that's a familiar personality... Who has that exact kind of personality?

Charlene perhaps?

"..."

I stopped as I realized something. It took her awhile to turned around to see what was wrong with me.

"Why did you stop?"

I stared at her with wide eyes open. "Jenna... there's no second exit through the back of the library isn't it?"

Her friendly face immediately changed to someone I don't recognize, it was resting, yet cold. She never showed that side of her to anyone in school. Ever.

"Of course there is not."

"Then why...?"

I couldn't finish my question as I noticed someone stepped out from the corner. Charlene with the big arrogant, smile, gazed at me, happier than ever.

"Surprise, bitch." She chuckled, Jenna walked to stand behind her as another girls gathered up. Charlene was leading them all.

"What the hell are you doing in my school?" I asked, slowly around, trying to find an escape.

"Oh, you know? I just heard the news about the infamous girl who was at Las Vegas with Peter Parker, and turned out it's my colleague. So i'm paying a visit."

"And Jenna?"

"Ha! How did you think i know rumors about you in this school. Jenna is my bitch from the first day she faked to say hello to you, every time she talked to you, it was by my orders."

I almost choked on how obsessed Charlene is to my life. "But... why the heck would you waste your time to just fuck with me?!"

"Oh, I don't know!? Maybe because you stole the heart from two guys that i want?"

"..."

"Don't pretend to be naive, Harrison likes you, he worshipped you like an angel. When you didn't get in touch he almost freaked the fuck out!"

Her crew stepped closer, I slowly headed backwards.

"Let's just get this over with." She sighed.

   All of them but Charlene suddenly went to me and grabbed my hands, i tried to resist but i just couldn't.

   They dragged me to the toilet nearby as I yelled for help, they took me to the very last door which is a shower room.

   I felt something i never felt before, it was rage. It felts like i want to fight back, i never felt like this, something in me definitely changed.

   Something hit me on my head, i fell on the ground, all the sound was gone for a second. The next thing I realized was that someone broke the valve, the water from the shower kept pouring down on me.

   "I'm taking this." Charlene smiled at the door, holding my phone up, then closed it.

   I stood up and tried to get out, but it was locked from the outside.

   "Charlene!!"

   "Anyone!?"

   "Please! Someone!?"

   "Peter...?"

   I called out his name, wishing he would come to help me. These water still splashing all over the place, all over my body. I'm cold, shit, i'm so cold. I felt a sharp pain from my right eyebrow, scarlet red, it was blood.

   I sat down on the ground, the very corner. I might have to stay here until tomorrow when the janitor finally arrived.

   She took my phone, she fucking took my phone. I can't contact anyone. Oh, god, do i have to really stay here the whole night after school?

   I've never wanted him like this before.

   "Did you check the teacher's office?" Peter Parker asked Jon as soon as he arrived.

   "He's taking a holiday today, sir." He replied.

   School was over for so long now, there's only a couple teachers left and Parker's mens all over the place.

   "Mr.Parker... I'm afraid this is the time to close the school, perhaps you could look for what you looking for tomorrow?"

   The teacher asked him, So he looked at her like she was joking.

   "I'm looking for a person. Your student. She's been missing under your watch." He  walked away.

   "But the school has to be closed now, the teachers must go home, we can't let you here alone."

   "Listen, Madam. I own this fucking place. It means I bought this school with my money. That also means i can stay as long as i'd like."

   He let his guards deal with the teachers and their stupid rules. He hates school rules. Still hate it until these days.

   "Have you check the second floor yet?" Pater asked, Jon.
  

   "Already, we found no one."

   "Lab?"

   "Not yet."

   "Okay, you go to the lab. I'll check the bathrooms."

   It pissing him off how he can't contact her, even with Karen's help, the phone seems to be destroyed.

   He checked every each toilets, from the very first floor to the last. He can't find her. He doesn't know what to do.

   Peter stood at the hallway, crossed his arms, thinking things out.

   Maybe she runaway? Or someone big like his enemies took her? Or maybe something simple like school's bullying.

   It reminded him of his old days here at this school, he wasn't bullied, at least not that scary. But since that spider bit, everything has changed. He barely remembered it now.

   Well, something did pops out from his memories. When he feels sick he went to the library for some science books. There's one bathroom at the back of the library right?

   Right.

   Peter took out his phone as he ran to his destination. "Jon! Bathroom at the back of the library!"

   "Right away, sir."

   Peter keeps running, he heard water, he didn't hesitated and get into the girl's bathroom.

   "(Y/n!)" He yelled, no one replied.

   Peter looks around, there's blood dripping on the floor, leading to the very last bathroom.

   It was locked with chain and keys. Lock picking wasn't his things. So Peter just pulled the whole handle apart with his super strength and opened the door.

   You were there, soaking wet and shaking from the cold. Your blood from the little wound on your head still bleeding because the water still raining on you.

   "Peter...?"

   "Oh, dear. Look what they've done to you." Peter sat on his knees and pulled you into a hug.

   "You came."

   "Of course, i did. I was so fucking worry." He said softly, pulling you up. "Who did this?"

   "Charlene."

   "I'm going to kill her."

   "Funny."

   "I'm serious."

   "Okay, let's do it."

   He took you out of the bathroom, Jon and his guards ran to you with clothes and towel. Peter wrapped you tight with it, he feared that you will get cold again so he kept hugging you frequently.

   "I thought that pervert teacher hurts you. Or my enemies did." He told you, gently touched your bleeding temple.

   "My enemies... I didn't see that coming at all, stupid me."

   "I'll make sure she pays for it."

   "Let's talk about that later, i'm just tired."

   He looked at you, felt sorry for wasn't be able to protect you.

   "Hey." He said.

   "Yes?" You said.

   "Maybe, you might want to go to my house tonight?"
