School ended as usual although i had to go through some of Niel's stares but other than that, school was totally great! I was actually excited for my shopping date today with my friends, Sai and Insyi. We were going to the town to do some shopping since our school prom is coming up soon and we wanted to look gorgeous and catchy in our clothes. We wanted to have our best moments on our prom night. After all, it's an once a year event and we don't get to dress up nicely every so often. So we wanted to have a great time at the prom although we had to look for partners but we were confident that there will be someone to ask us to the prom. With that confidence, we set off to our shopping war. We went to town by taking the bus. We went there after refreshing ourselves and changing into something much more comfortable and nice. We were all looking very hot and beautiful that day. After arriving at the town, we immediately went to Berry's Accessory Shop. There, they had all sorts of accessories that are really beautiful and flashy. We were looking at them when Sai exclaimed

"Oh My God! Is that a pin that is made to look like an hat?!!"

"Yes, it is. You can find them in many type's of colors, designs and shapes. If you would like to see them, they're over there near the rack where you are standing, madam." said the saleswoman who was standing there and watching us exclaim over all the accessories in the shop.

"Oh, okay! Thank you, Miss." said Sai politely

"Well, why are you freaking over such an accessory? You can even find them in other accessory shops in New Zealand too you know?" i said to Sai

"Well, that's because you can't find this type of accessories in NZ. They rarely import them from other countries..." said Sai

"Oh.... Pity those guys.... I bet they would be craving for such accessories when they see others wearing in the TV..." i said thoughtfully

"Yeah, your absolutely right but they order and buy this type of accessories from the internet so they don't really crave for them that much." said Sai

"Oh! Wow! They must be really rich to buy them through the internet and also very trusting..." I said thoughtfully

"Hhhmm... yeah!" said Sai

"Hhhmm.. she really seems to be in a deep thought. I wonder what made her like that?" i whispered to Insyi

"Yeah, your right. She seems unusually quiet today. She's the one who usually talks a lot but today it seems like she has lost topics to talk about. Let's ask her when we go and eat at Burger King. I have a feeling something is bothering her." said Insyi

"So you it felt too huh? Okay. We'll do it when we go and have our lunch." i said agreeing with Insyi

After finish buying the necessary accessories needed for the prom, we went to Burger King to eat. We chose to sit near the window so then we can plan where we want to go next. All around Burger King, there are a lot of boutique's and clothes shop. So we were going to check the best shops on town to buy our clothes.

" I have a vague idea of what kind of clothes i want to buy. What about you guys? Have any idea what type of clothing your going to buy?" asked Insyi

"Yes, i do. This time, I want to wear something with laces. It would be great and wonderful if I get to wear something like that!" i said dreamily imagining myself wearing a dress with lots of laces and trying to pick a suitable color for myself.

"So what about you, Sai? What are you planning to buy? Do you have any vague idea what you want to buy?" asked Insyi

I, immediately snapped out of my daydreaming and focused on Sai who looked as if she is in another world. At first, she didn't reply.

"Sai!" i called out and shook her shoulder to snap her out of her daydreaming.

"Oh! Huh? What? Why did you call me?" asked Sai looking dazed for a moment

"What's wrong with you, Sai?! You are like this since school finished! What happened? Did someone tell you something or bullied you? Tell me, Sai! I'll beat them up for you!" i said in a fierce and firm tone

"Oh! Don't do that! It's nothing like that.... It's just...." trailed off Sai and falling again into a deep thought

"It's just what, Sai?" i asked her

"It's just... eerr... erm.. actually...." stuttered Sai while blushing.

"Actually what?!! Tell us!!! Your killing us with your suspense!" exclaimed Insyi

"Ohhhh!!!! Alright! L.Joe just proposed to me!!!" said Sai

We were so shocked that we didn't say anything to Sai. Then, we just burst out laughing like hell. We laughed so loud that everyone in the restaurant turned and looked at us weirdly. We tried to suppress our laughter but it was so funny that Sai was having problem with love. She is always the wise and cool girl in our group. We just couldn't believe our eyes and ears that Sai is actually stuttering and blushing because a guy just proposed to her. After what seems like a few minutes, we finally calmed down and started to shoot her questions

"So what did you say to Joe? Did you accept him? How did he propose to you?"

"Did he fall on his knees and take your hand and proposed to you like a gentleman?"

"Did he give red roses to you?"

"Did he propose to you in class? Did the others in your class see him proposing to you?'

"STOP IT GUYS! your making me dizzy with all those questions.... phew!" exclaimed Sai

"ooppss!! Sorry!" Insyi and I apologized while clapping our hands together and bowing our head with apology.

"Okay, let me explain what happened before you guys start shooting me questions again. Actually this happened at the last period which was Science for us. I was sitting beside Joe when i got a letter from him which he pushed it to me. I took it and read it. In it he wrote asking me if i was free today, so i replied no because i have a girls day out today with you guys. Then he asked me if i was free tomorrow so i replied no too because i have classes and told him that i'm only free on Sunday. I also asked him why is he asking me such questions. He replied me saying that he wanted to go out with me. So i asked him what is he talking about... then out of nowhere, he bent close to me and whispered at my ear "I Love You". I was so shocked that I couldn't move for a moment. When i finally recovered from my surprised state, i was going to ask him what does he mean when the bell rang. Before i could catch him and confront him, he came to me and said that he wants me to think about it and tell him my answer. He also said he will not force me but asked me to think it through carefully and answer him. He asked me to take my time! Oh guys!! What am I going to do?!! Should I or shouldn't I accept him?!! I'm really scared and confused right now! Please help me!!!" explained Sai and begged us

"Oh, i see...... So that's all? I was thinking that someone is blackmailing you or bullying you. You looked so devastated just now you know! Jeesh! You freaked us out!" I said

"Oh, I'm really very sorry guys. It's just this is the first time i got a proposal from a guy. I was kinda really shocked so I... well.. you know..." Sai said blushing

"Yeah, i understand. I know how it feels...." i said to Sai

"Hahahaha! Yeah, i know that. Since you too have "almost" similar like experience with Niel... Hahaha! Hey, isn't Joe Niel's best friend? I always see them hanging out together with Chanjo, Chunji, Cap and Ricky. They always look so charismatic to me! And two guys from their gang fell for my two best and beautiful friends! Wow! Wouldn't one of them fall for me too???" said Insyi dreamily.

"Errr... You're nuts!" i said

"Why?!!!!" pouted Insyi

"Because we're discussing about Sai's problem right now. If you want to flirt one of those guys from Niel's gang, sure! But after we finish with Sai and Joe. Well, back to the topic, so what are you going to do? Are you going to accept him or not? But first of all, do you even like him?" i asked Sai

"Well, i do like him.... But I'm afraid that he is the player type.... I don't want to be let down, you see. Also, I don't even know Joe much." said Sai sadly.

"Well, if that is the case, it's simple. I have the best solution." said Insyi

"And what may that "Best Solution" of yours could be?" i asked her sarcastically

"Hmph! Simple, tell him that you want to get to know him first before you guys take things seriously and start dating. How? Want to try it out?" asked Insyi while suggesting her idea.

"Hhhmm... Good idea, Insyi. Why don't you try it out first, Sai? Then you can decide if you want to accept him or not." i said to Sai

"Hhmm... You have point there, Insyi. Okay, I'll do like you suggested. I have a feeling it might turn out well. Thank you so much guys! You guys are the best in the whole world!"said Sai in the verge of tears

"Hahahaha! We are always here for you! You just have to come and talk to us. We are ever ready to lend a helping hand for you." i said

"Awww!! Thanks a bundle you guys!" said Sai and hugged us both

We too hugged her back and then we decided to go and continue our shopping again. We went to the town's most famous boutique, Shalala Boutique, where we can find all sorts of design's and new fashions in there. It's one of the best boutique's from our town. We went there and tried out all the clothes that caught our interest. In the end, we just couldn't find the type of design we were specifically looking for. So we asked the manager of the Shalala Boutique to design for us the type of dress we wanted. Shalala Boutique is also famous for designing clothes for their customers taste. So we described the type of fashion we wanted and after that they told us it will take at least 2 weeks to finish tailoring the clothes. But we didn't mind it much because there's still a month away for the prom so we said to them that we will collect them when they're finished and asked them to call us when it's ready. We were happy and satisfied with the design we wanted. So after that, we went to other shops to buy our daily clothes. We bought clothes that are suitable for us. We had a great deal of fun shopping together. It was totally fun. I always dreamt of going out with my friends and do shopping. It's the best time I ever had!

"Okay! Are you guys satisfied with your clothes that we shopped just now? Or you guys wanna shop till you drop?" i asked

"Hahahaha! No way! I've had enough. This clothes can last me for a year, man! hahahaha!" Said Insyi

"Hahaha! You're absolutely right! So shall we call it a night then?" i asked them

"YES!!!!" they exclaimed together

"Alright then shall we go to the bus stop and wait?" I asked them

"Yeah, sure! Let's! I don't think we can find any taxi right now. So we might as well take the bus. Come on, let's go" said Sai and with that we set off to the bus stop. It took us at least 10 minutes to walk to the bus stop. But when we reached there, we found a group of guys standing there and talking while drinking beer. When they saw us coming, they stopped and stared at us as if we are some kind of food to them. They looked at us ertedly. When we saw them, we just stopped dead on our tracks. We just stood a few feet away from the bus stop and turned away while we covered our face with our hair.

Suddenly, out of nowhere those guys who were standing near the bus stop, jumped at us and caught of our hands. They pinned us down with their incredible strength and slowly dragged us to a cottage a few miles away from the bus stop. We tried to scream but before we can do anything, they shut our mouths up by using one of their hands and kept a firm hold on us with their other hand.

"Man! This guys are really strong! OhMyGod! This is going to be bad! I have a bad feeling! I have to do something about it! I need to keep my friends safe! But how?! Oh jeesh! I can't even use my Taekwondo moves because this guys are really heavy and strong! The alcohol must have made them strong! Well, i just have to wait for my opportunity when they leave their guards down. Hopefully they don't tie us up!" i thought to myself urgently.

We reached the cottage. In the cottage, there were even more guys in there drinking and taking drugs. My hope of escape slowly crushed when i saw these many people in there.

"I can't out take them all! They're just too many!" I thought to myself with a sinking feeling in my gut

Those guys just took us and pushed us to a bed they have prepared. One of those guys just tied us up separately in separate rooms to the bed. I tried my best to release myself from those guys but instead they just slapped me. The slap made me dizzy for a moment which was enough for the guys to tie me up without any difficulty.

"Hahahahahaha! Good job, Roy! You brought us really good "side dishes" for us. They look really delicious." said a guy with a maniac look which made me cold to the core.

"We're doomed...." a thought came to my mind with a sick feeling

The guy that talked just now and a two other guys got into the bed where we were tied up and started to feel us at places which made us squirm and trash around. Slowly, the guy on top of me who stank of alcohol bent down to kiss me near the neck. I just couldn't stand it anymore. He slowly started to take of my clothes and kiss me everywhere he could possibly lay his lips on.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!" I screamed.
