Chapter 1
Ariana
"Can't keep my hands to myself," I sung. "Ooh, uh." I danced as I got up. This was my routine. I sing this song every Friday morning. "ARIANA! STOP SINGING AND GET READY FOR SCHOOL!" Then my Mom would yell at me but she knows I get ready in time. I pulled on my school uniform and ran downstairs. "Bye Mom! The bus is here and I don't want to be late." Mom kisses me on the cheek. I run outside and catch the bus just in time. I sit next to my best friend Demi as usual. "Did you hear? Selena Gomez has a new hit! Wolves."
"I gotta hear this later." I exclaim. Demi and I loved Selena Gomez. The bus pulled up at school and I went straight to my locker. Ace Stark walked by with his friends, laughing. "You'll be at the party right?" Ace asks as he walks away. His buddies nod and leave. Ace heads to his locker, which is next to my locker. But he's never spoken to me. Don't. Don't. Don't open your big fat mouth. Keep shut. "What party?" I blurt before I can stop myself. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid Ariana. Ace looks at me for the first time. Then he laughs. "It's a voice party. My friends and I like singing, and some of us are good, so I have a party for that. It's open to anyone with a good voice, but uh, I doubt you can come." I bit my lip in anger. How dare he!
"I'll be there to blow your tiny brain. What's the address?" Ace laughs again and tells me the time and address. "Good luck Princess."
"I'll be there to blow your tiny brain. What's the address?" Ace laughs again and tells me the time and address. "Good luck Princess."
I'm still fuming in anger when he leaves. I'm fuming until lunch time, where I tell Demi about the party. "GIRL!" She squeals. "You've gotta go there."
"What about you?" I ask.
"What about you?" I ask.
"You have the greater voice."
"I don't want to leave you."
"It's fine. Just tell me what happens."
"Okay. See you later Demi."
"I don't want to leave you."
"It's fine. Just tell me what happens."
"Okay. See you later Demi."
And with a few more classes, the day ends.
It's 7:00 p.m. I ate dinner and told my mom I was going out and to call me if she needs anything. The party is at 7:45. I looked through my closet for anything decent. I had a bunch of cool clothes, but I didn't like them. Finally, I found something good. It was a red dress with straps around the shoulders, but it was tight and had black boots to go with it. I love it! I parted my long brown hair into a ponytail and put some makeup on. 7:30. I have 15 minutes to get there. I scurried out and Demi was waiting for me with her car. She said she'll drop me off. We got there at 7:44, but I rang the door at 7:45. On time! The party was at someone's house. Probably Ace's. Ace opened the door and stared at me. He looked at me with greed in his eyes. He viewed me up and down until I said, "I know I'm hot but it's cold outside, so can you please let me in?" Ace goes red. He knows I know I saw him checking me out. "Your hotness can't save your singing Princess." He whispers in my ear. He lets me in and a bunch of people are here. All his football cronies. "Everyone!" Ace shouts. "We have a guest!" Everyone turns to me. They are all in their football outfits. One walks up to Ace and says, "Bang her yet?" Ace shakes his head. "You better before I do." Then he walks away from Ace after saying that. "This is Ariana Volt, and she claims to have a better voice than all of us." A loud ripple goes through all of them. "She will go last, so we can save the best for last." Ace smirks.
I got to say, everyone sucks. We have to sing Bang Bang by Jessie J, Ariana Grande, and Nicki Minaj. The boy who asked Ace if he banged me yet picked it. Of course he did. When they got to the high parts, they went flat. For the rap, they skipped it. The lyrics were in front of them on a screen and they still didn't know the lyrics. When Ace went up, his was an improvement from everyone else's, but his still sucked. "And now," Ace yells. "Ariana Volt who apparently has a better voice than us!" I walk to the center of the room and tune everyone out and focus on the lyrics. This is just like the talent show Ariana. Deep breathes and focus. Ignore them.
"She got a body like an our glass but I can give it too you all the time!" I sang. Everyone was shocked, especially Ace. When I got to the rap, nailed it! When I reached the high part, I went high. When the song ended, I did a teasing dance and everyone was staring at me with greed. I was amused, all boys are the same. "Ariana! That was great." Ace stutters. "Maybe I was wrong." I ignored him because someone passed me a beer. We were all 17 and not allowed to drink, yet we did anyway. Ace gave me a 2nd drink, after the 1st and we partied. 15 guys and 1 girl. After my 2nd drink I started to feel funny. Ace noticed this and he said he was leading me to the bathroom. I felt drunk after 2 drinks and couldn't remember much. Ace didn't lead me too the bathroom, he went to his bedroom.
"I have you all to myself now. I don't want anyone else's eyes on you, they're all dirty pricks!" He pins me against the wall. I'm to weak to fight back, something was in the drink he gave me. He threw me to his bed and climbed on top. He leaned in until someone rammed into Ace and knocked him off. He punched Ace and they had a fight, but that was all I saw before blacking out. When I woke up, I was in my own bed at my own house. One of the football players was sleeping on the floor of my room. Memories came back to me hazily.
I poked him until he woke up, and it wasn't Ace. Phew. He got up and looked at me. "Ariana, do you remember anything?" He asked. "Ace, Ace drugged me and almost forced himself on me." I answer. "Until I came," He says. "I was looking for Ace when I saw that and rammed into him. We had a fight and I won. I called your Mom and she picked you up, I told her what happened and she thanked me. I stayed the night too." I say thank you and ask for his name. "I'm Stone, one of Ace's former best friends. I think we can be friends." The things that could have happened without Stone. I shuddered at the thought.
