The next day at school is a buzz of gossip.
The news about Audrey's accident and Tommy's party is all over the school.
Students crowd in groups along the hallway.
The story of Tommy's party is on everyone's lips.
Zachess and the TPLG crew gather up in the women's room.
No one else is in the toilet area or so they thought.
"What about Aubrey," Chen asks Zachess. "What happened on that night Zachess."
Zachess is smoking a cigarette, she pays Chen's question no mind.
"Yes, what about Aubrey, why were you looking for her last night," Sally asks.
"Okay...I will tell you," Zachess finally opens up. "Audrey was raped by Tommy and his friends."
"What," the girls shriek all at once.
"Yes, but tell no one, let this go to the grave with all of us, okay," Zachess retorts. "On that party night, I went upstairs to Tommy's suite to see him, but I heard screaming from the inside, then Audrey comes out looking very bad."
"What the hell are you saying Zachess," Anna says, with much enthusiasm in her tone. "You didn't tell me this last night!"
"No sorry, Tommy's friends came forth out of the room first, before Audrey," Zachess says again.
"So what are you going to do now," Chen says. "Because the cops are here in the school, and it is a big issue now."
"No one says a word of what I've just told you," Zachess says. "I have a plan."
The bell goes off, and the girls leave the toilet area to the classroom.
But they didn't know that a girl is hiding in one of the toilets, the TPLG crew didn't realize her presence.
The girl hears all Zachess said about Audrey and Tommy.
The girl is Ruby, Bea's bestie.
She listened quietly to what all the TPLG crew said, but they didn't notice that she was hiding in one of the toilet cubicles.
As the TPLG crew walked the hallway to the classrooms, a male security guard walks up to them.
"Hello Miss Zachess, the School Director would want to see you now," he says to Zachess walking in front and flanked by the rest of the girls.
"Right now," Zachess asks.
"Yes now," the guard says, and takes Zachess by the arm.
"I will be back girls," Zachess tells her friends, the other girls go to class while Zachess walks down the hallway with the school guard.
At the School Director's office, Mr. Greenbeans is seated across a table, the County Sheriff and two cops are standing by the office, and Audrey's parents are sitting in the office as well.
"Please sit down," Mr. Greenbeans says to Zachess.
Zachess sits right in front of the table, she is flanked by the cops standing.
"Now, here are Audrey's parents, the County Sheriff, the County cops, and some school deputies," Mr. Greenbeans starts by saying. "We all would like to hear the truth about what happened the other night to Audrey."
Zachess looks around the room with some anxiety in her countenance.
"Ummm, I can't say anything now, I need to talk to my parents first, and they will tell me if I should say anything or not," Zachess says, staring around the room blandly.
There's silence for a moment.
"Well, umm, you are not under any pressure to say anything now," the County Sheriff says. "But since you were the last person to see and talk to her before she was hit by the truck, you followed her in your car, then she was knocked down by a hit-and-run truck so you said last night, but we need more details, though the pressure is not on you to say, if you can, you can tell us what you know."
Zachess keeps mum, staring blandly at Mr. Greenbeans.
No one says a word for a moment.
"Fine, since you don't want to say anything to us now, you can go back to your classroom," Mr. Greenbeans says.
Zachess briskly stands and walks out of the room.
"We will be talking to you soon, again," the County Sheriff says.
Zachess throws a look at him briskly and leaves the room.
Zachess walks quickly across the halls, she heads to the hallway that leads to Tommy's class, their classroom.
She gets to the classroom and peeks through the door.
Tommy is in class, there's a teacher in the class.
Tommy looks at the door and sees Zachess.
Zachess beckons on Tommy to come to see her outside.
Tommy looks blandly at Zachess, he takes an excuse from the teacher in class and he comes out of the classroom to see Zachess.
"What now, why are you bothering me now," Tommy says to Zachess standing by the classroom door.
"I will tell the Director and the cops what happened to Audrey," Zachess bellows at Tommy.
Tommy grabs Zachess by the arm, and that's the second time she's been grabbed by the arm today.
Tommy shoves Zachess to a corner.
"Hey, you look here girl, if you think you can say shit about me, just know I rule this school okay, I rule the Billionaire Boys Club, and the Billionaire Boys rule," Tommy retorts.
"Bullshit Tommy, you and your friends raped Audrey, that's the truth," Zachess yells.
"Sshhh...you keep your voice down," Tommy hushes, he looks around the hallway frantically.
"Okay, what do you want," he says in a much milder tone. "What do you want, to keep quiet huh, money, clothes, or…some good s.e.x?"
He smirks erotically, pressing his face closer to Zachess' like to kiss her lips.
He touches Zachess affectionately by the chin.
Zachess knocks Tommy's hand off her chin.
"I will tell you shortly what I want," Zachess says. "It will cost you, Tommy, it will cost you for me to keep my mouth shut."
"No problems girl, you just tell me what you want, and I will make it happen right," Tommy says, he makes to bring his face closer again to Zachess'.
She pushes him away and walks away.
"It will cost you, Tommy...see you later, " Zachess says, she walks away, shaking her waist from side to side as she moves.
Zachess walks back into class but most of her time now is spent in oblivion, reminiscing, her mind drifting, her thoughts interfering.
She seems uneasy about the recent happening.
If Zachess gives up Tommy to the County Sheriff, he may not be in school anymore.
And Zachess wants Tommy for personal reasons.
Zachess wants Tommy to be her male muse.
She always wants the best of everything, and Tommy seemed the 'best of the boys'.
With this trouble at his back, Tommy can be under her leash she reckons.
Zachess has her plan all laid out, Tommy will be her male muse...
