Chapter 5 The Triplets II

"Did you think her lofty words were gonna save you from us?" Ethan inquired, but I kept mute, listening to his cackling laughter which told me of the evil yet to come.

"When we ask you a question, we expect an answer in return! Playtoy!" Mason said, his voice on a higher octave, as he dragged my hair forcefully, causing me to whimper in pain.

I felt his strong hand on my jaw, compressing it so tightly that I didn't know when a tear slipped off. I knew that a bruise would appear later.

"Look at us when we are talking. I want to see your eyes when they plead for mercy." He stated, lifting up my face forcefully, but my eyes shut down on their own accord. I didn't want to see the devil on their faces.

"Open your eyes, toy! How dare you?" That was Ethan speaking.

Although he was the youngest, I was beginning to think that he was as twisted as Mason. But why were they this way? Were they using me as an outlet to let out some steam? Is their father too hard on them?

A strong pinch on my left cheek caused me to yelp out in pain.

"Finally. Nice to hear your voice. Logan, nice strategy." Mason commented, a sinister smile on his lips. I knew, because my eyes were open now, dwelling on the three of them, three devils.

So Logan had been the one to pinch me? Evil. I chanted in my head, refusing to stay on or acknowledge their handsomeness.

Sometimes, I did wonder why the goddess had bestowed such handsomeness on the trio when they were so wicked. Couldn't she had made them ugly somehow or just ordinary?

But no! She had to make them look like demigods. It should be a sin for them to be around females. Perhaps, that was the reason why the females around plagued me too. I overhead them one time saying that they would give anything to receive attention from the guys like I did.

Fools! The lot of them. I had thought, considering the girls to be totally out of their senses. They should come trade places then. I would happily do so, even if it entailed sacrificing my food for a week!

Yet that was what these three wicked baboons could cause with their existence; an outbreak of stupidity and chaos. I have even heard of girls fighting over them.

I have also heard that they sometimes chose one girl that the three would sleep with at the same time. Disgusting trio.

I would have pitied the poor girl, but for the fact that the next day, the idiot would come to school and begin to brag how she had taken them, and that they were so sweet, causing their wings to soar higher and higher. Disgusting!

"Why are you late today though? You missed out on the big surprise that we had planned for you today." Mason continued, causing me to sigh softly. A big surprise? Then it was good that Daniella had dropped me on the road then.

"But don't think that you have escaped today's dosage of goodwill. Follow us." He commanded, starting to move toward the direction of the fields when a bell rang out, and a teacher walked out of the hallways into the parking lot, a phone in her ear.

When she saw the four of us, her forehead lined up before she probably ended the call, and began to walk toward us.

"If you say anything to antagonize us, you are dead." That was Logan. I nodded even before I could stop myself whilst tearing up within.

"What are you four doing here? Shouldn't you be having classes?" The teacher asked, her eyes skimming the whole lot of us.

I actually didn't care what she did or what she said, I just didn't want to end up on a worse scale with the guys now. And so, I took the reins of the conversation, before the guys would reply to her.

"We do. But you see, I had missed my ride to school today, and had called on them to help me since we are good friends. They had gallantly forfeited class to come pick me up. That is why we are still outside; we were just arriving a few minutes ago. Please don't punish them ma. They are my lifesavers.'' I recited, all the while trying to calm my heart rate, knowing that the teacher was most likely a werewolf and might be able to tell that I was lying by my heart rate.

She furrowed her eyes as she looked at me, head to toe, before gazing at the boys. I already know an iota of what she might be thinking.

How did I, a seemingly ugly thing manage to snag three hot guys? That was her business though. I just wanted to get out of here, out of the confines of the three boys.

"Okay, I see." She finally said. "Get to class then." She added, before turning around and walking away.

Immediately she was out, I closed my eyes as another tear slipped away. I was left in the hands of the idiots again.

"Nice defense, piggy face. We will be letting you go for now; don't wanna waste our learning period on a curse like you. See you during lunch time." Ethan mentioned, causing me to sigh in relief.

Good, very good, there were still a few hours till break time. Perhaps I could obtain permission and leave then.

I bowed after his statement, and kept my head bowed, until they walked away from me and entered the hallway. Only then, did I lift up my head, and start trudging to my class, my mind besotted on what could happen during lunch time.

When I got to the class, the teacher was rounding up his lecture. I hesitated by the door, wondering if I should go in or not.

Whilst still contemplating on that, someone pushed me from behind, and I smacked my face on the door, causing it to open, and the entire class to look upon me.

But that wasn't important to me as finding out who had pushed me.

Swiveling around, I caught a glance at the back of the person before he turned to the next hallway.

Logan?
