Chapter 8

Few days has passed and Jessie's still refusing to attend her classes, The Dean came and tried to persuade her but she still not answering anyone outside. Even Ariaj, her one and only friend cannot talk to her. She was traumatised deeply by what Delilah and her minions did to her. She's been missing a lot of activities now but she couldn't care less as she's still afraid that something might happen to her again. She told herself that she won't get out of her room as far as there's someone out there wanting to hurt her.

Jessie was then pulled out from her trance as her phone rang for thousands of times already. Almost half of them came from Ariaj and the remaining came from Zyan. She doesn't want to talk to them as she's embarrassed to face them. The whole university was in havoc when the news errupted that someone was almost raped. But no one knows who until Jessie was missing her classes. She's been the talk of the university that's why she refused to get out of her room

Jessie heard a ding from her phone, she looked at it and saw that Ariaj has messaged her

'Jess come on, we'll show them that you're not just some girl they can mess up with' Jessie read as her lips curved upward a bit.

She admits that se's missing Ariaj and her boyfriend already.

"This is not me" said Jessie as she looks at the mirror hanging on the wall. Her hair was a mess, and her face looks like she's been mummified.

"I'll show them what I can do" said Jessie as she took her phone and called Ariaj

"Heelo? Jess? Thank God you called! I was worried sick! How are you?" asked Ariaj as Jessie sighed to herself

"I'm Okay Ari, can you do me a favor?" asked Jessie as Ariaj replied 'what is it?'

"We're going shopping?" said Jessie as Ariaj suddenly smirked at the thought

"That's right Jess, show them how powerful you are?" said Ariaj as she stood up and went to Jessie's dormitory.

"Really?" said Brian as they were inside an alley, making out when Ariaj heard the call from Jessie

"Sorry, call you later" said Ariaj as she took off leaving a turned on Brian standing at the alley next to their campus

Jessie then stood up, taking the comb to her hand and started to do her messy hair. there were a little pieces of hair fallen off from her scalp but everything went good after. Jessie walked to her wardrobe and saw her clothes. All of them were hoodies and jeans.

"I don't even have a dress" said Jessie as she folded her arm and scanned through her remaining clothes when her eyes darted at the hanger with cover

It was given to her by her Father when she turned 18. It was a black dress that goes up to her mid tighs. She was always shy to wear this but now? Delilah just gave her the reason to. She took the dress out of the hanger and laid it on the bed. Jessie took her clothes off and wore the dress. She actually thinks she look good on the dress. As she was looking at her self on the mirror, her door bursted open by the one and only Ariaj who's lips are still swollen

"What happened to your lips?" said Jessie as she walked towards Ariaj who's mouth was open in disbelief

"Who are you?" asked Ariaj as Jessie laughed at her remark

"It's me! Jessie!" said Jessie as Ariaj could not believe her eyes. Her nerdy friend who always weards thick glasses and oversized sweaters has a perfect curve

"No, don't lie to me!" said Ariaj as she's still couldn't believe what she was seeing. She rubbed her eyes and looked at Jesie once again before squinting her eyes towards Jessie

"If you really is Jessie, tell me what I'm doing right now?" asked Ariaj to make sure that the gorgeous lady infront of her is infact her friend

"You want Brain to bone you" said Jessie as Ariaj's eye widened with her smile

"Jessie! it really is you!" said Ariaj as she wet to hug her bestfriend

"I told you" said Jessie as Ariaj grabbed Jessie by the head to look at her face once again

"You didn't tell me that you're this beautiful!" said Ariaj as she hugged Jessie once again

"Come on, we have to doll you up. Let's show them that they've messed with the wrong woman" said Ariaj as she pulled Jessie on her make up table and did her magic.

As Jessie and Ariaj was walking at the hallways of their dorm building, the girls that passed them and those who were inside their rooms went out and stopped as they saw someone Jessie walking confidently

"Who's that?"

"Is she a new student?"

"I think the Kingka's has another target"

Those and more words were heard by Jessie and Ariaj as they laughed to themselves. these girls were talking as if She's a new student when in fact, she's the girl they refused to help when she was being bullied by Delilah. She watch as their mouths were agape and some were even taing a picture to send to their friends

"seems like we don't need to doll you up anymore" said Ariaj but Jessie looked at her, well more like glared at her

"Okay Okay, we'll go and buy a lot of stuffs" said Ariaj as they left the university and hailed a cab going to the mall.

As the two arrived, people were looking at them as they were amazed by Jessie's beauty. Some were askingfor a picture and some were being beaten by their girlfriends as they keeps on staring at Jessie. Ariaj told Jessie that they'll get rid of her glasses first that's why they went to the optometrist first and bought contact lenses. Luckily there were available lenses for Jessie when they cae because it's their last stock

"See? You're more beautiful without that glasses" said Ariaj as they went to the dress store.

Jessie sat down as Ariaj told her that she'll do the picking of the dress and Jessie's her model. Jessie was against the idea at first as she know how Ariaj gets excited when it comes to clothes.

As Ariaj was shuffling through the dresses, she recieved a text message from Brian asking who the girl she was with. Ariaj being a naughty girl she is texted Brian that they're through and that it's her new girlfriend. Ariaj chuckled as Brian flooded her message box asking where she is and Ariaj told him they were in the mall.

After some time, Ariaj came back and saw Jessie looking at the Stilettos displayed. Ariaj saw how Jessie's eyes glows when she touches the heels. Ariaj then went beside Jessie as she tapped her shoulder.

"We can get that you know" said Ariaj as she took the heels and pulled Jessie to the fitting room. Ariaj gave all the dresses to Jessie as she waited for Jessie to finish. She played with her phone and she was shocked to see that Brain was stomping his way towards Ariaj

"How can you say we're through?! where is she? and-" Brian was cut off when Ariaj pointed towards the fitting room, and Jessie came out wearing a sleek back dress with the stilettos on and her hair perfectly done.

"I changed my mind, Can you introduce me to her?" asked brian as Jessie and Ariaj laughed at his remark
