Bonus Chapter: Valentine’s Day!?

So it’s Sunday… and Valentine’s Day…

What a horrible day of the year. Endless amounts of people would always flock to give me chocolates that I don’t even enjoy.

I slowly leave my house for school, people start to crowd me as soon as I start walking.

“Hey Claire, here you go, I hope you read the note inside.”

Roughly ten boys said the same thing while I was walking to school. I hate this day, so much money going to waste. These people only have bad things in mind.

I take out the notes when I reach the school gate and start reading them aloud.

“Dear Claire, I hope you enjoy the chocolates. If you want to, you can call me at ***-***-**** thanks. If you ask me out I wouldn’t mind. From Ryan. P.S. I hope you choose me as your boyfriend for this Valentine’s dance.”

I continue to read out every note including personal details.

……

I slowly open my locker with one of the school janitors standing on the other side of the hall. I wave at him with an apologetic look.

“Sorry about you having to do this Scruffy.”

“Don’t worry ‘bout it little girly.” The white moustached man shrugs his shoulders, “I challenge myself ‘erry year to do it faster ‘n faster. Ya ain’t the first school idol and ya certainly ain’t the last.”

I open the locker fully and a flood of paper leaves my locker, scattering all over the floor.

“Girly, do ya want to keep ‘em? Or shall I just toss ‘em?” Scruffy starts to clean up the letter off the ground.

“I want them to be tossed. No need destroying them to hide personal info.” I coldly reply to the janitor, trying to keep my annoyance in check.

“Will do.” Scruffy just starts to sweep the letters into a black plastic bag.

I empty the rest of the letters that managed to stay in my locker. I really hate how they get in my books.

I grab everything I need until lunch and walk to first class for a special class party that has forced attendance… but someone stops me by placing an arm on the locker in front of me and leaning on it.

“Hey Claire, how are you doing?” This person had a large perverted smile on his face as he didn’t even bother to look into my eyes.

“I’m fine thank you. Now if you don’t mind, I need to get to class.” I move to try and get around him, but he steps to the side and blocks me.

“It will only take a bit of your time. So would you like to go out with me? My name is Ryan. I can show you a good time.”

“That’s not how you make a first impression. Now I really have to get going.” I forcefully walk beside him.

“Now, now.” He grabs my shoulder to stop me.

“Don’t touch me!” I yell as I turn around and slap him with the back of my hand. It was a reflex… but it works for now. I walk towards the nearby door of my first class.

As I enter the class, I notice that the person is holding his face and crying in fetal position, I then see scruffy move him to the side with the handle of his broom so he could continue sweeping. I shake my head side to side and enter into the class.

*Fast forward one year! (Well, a bit less than a year… ah, you’ll figure it out)*

I slowly wake up in the dorm room and notice Logan has already woken up and is behind a barricade created by various items and makeshift barbed wire at the top. He looks at me and notices me wake up.

“Ah, good morning Claire. I was told to prepare for when I opened the door. If you listen closely… you can hear them.” He was whispering.

I rub my eyes and look at him funny.

“Are you insane? There’s no wa-” He runs to me and forces my mouth shut.

“I wonder if they heard anything…” He nervously looks at the door to the dorm room.

I just tilt my head. I must still be dreaming, back to bed then. I slowly lay down and Logan falls over too.

“Hey don’t go back to sleep you need to prepare! I have Saunderson preparing an extraction!” Logan forces me to sit up again.

All of a sudden there is a large amount of banging on the door to the dorm room.

“We demand you give up our school idol!”

“Yeah!”

“Why did you marry our idol!?”

“Open up this door!”

Logan sighs in relief and wipes a small amount of sweat from his brow.

“Thank goodness they are weak noble kids.” Logan smiles as he happily looks at the barricaded door.

As my vision clears I notice that he moved everything but the bed in front of the door. Isn’t that a bit much? Logan notices my gaze.

“No… it is not too much if you are wondering. They have already tried breaking in, but I managed to calm them by saying you were still asleep, but now that they know you are awake… we just have to hope Saunderson makes it in time.” Logan pulls his phone out of his pocket and looks at the screen, “Speak of the devil. He’s ready. As expected of a true friend!”

Logan forcibly helps me get dressed in my school uniform, and then picks me up. He walks to the window and opens it. Saunderson climbs in.

“I have arrived, so I declare.” He calmly hands Logan what looks to be a harness… I don’t hear a helicopter… so what do we need a harness for?

“I sadly haven’t used a zip line before. I can’t believe you manage to prepare one in time. This is at the corner of the school too. How do you plan for us to go anywhere?”

“Do not worry, so I suggest.”

“I guess if you say so… Whatever. You ready Claire?”

I open my mouth but Logan has already put on the harness and picked me up. Wait… do I not get a harness!? I mean… I trust Logan and all… but that doesn’t mean a little extra safety wouldn’t hurt.

The two men ignore my struggling and Saunderson clips Logan on to the zip line.

“Onwards, so I announce!” After Saunderson speaks, Logan jumps out the window, seemingly putting blind faith in the equipment… I still don’t have anything for safety!

I cling to Logan as hard as I can and close my eyes. Scary!

I feel the wind going through my hair as we gain speed. I don’t want to open my eyes! If I see what is going on I might die!

“Don’t worry Claire! We are almost escaped!”

I open my eyes and notice that we are heading for my house… via zip line?

It was uphill! What is going on!?

I suddenly feel as if a bucket of cold water was dumped on me and I open my eyes to stare at the roof of my bedroom. It is still dark outside.

I feel wide awake and check my phone…

2 am… Valentine’s Day…

I am way too excited…

Hello everyone!

I know I said that I wouldn't be posting chapters on weekends, but I lied. I was reminded multiple times by friends and family about this, 'Valentine's Day'... I had no idea what this event was until my friend reminded me it was just single's awareness day, then I remembered what it was. (joke)

Anyways, terrible jokes aside, I woke up at 6am my time to post this... (prepping it beforehand at midnight, planning to post at 6am... who knows what might actually happen.) I hope you all have a great single's aware- I mean Valentine's Day.

Have a sexy day/night!
