Chapter 281: Emotional Invested

"Are you sure you are okay?" Edlyn asked as they sat in their embroidery class. Ariana peeked around and saw that some girls were whispering and murmuring to one another as they sat in their groups of four. "Yes." Ariana sighed as she brought her gaze back to her own work.

"I don't know." Ariana she then said as her grip slightly slacked on her embroidery ring. She thought back to last night and recalled what had happened.

"What did you just say?" A girl asked breathlessly as her eyes turned round and wide, they trembled slightly at the sight of Ariana. "I am a survivor. I was lucky though. I was able to be rescued before me virginity was taken but at the same time unlucky as my attack was not a secret. Not to me, not to Mrs. Dabney, not to the Headmaster, Mr. Dabney, my best friend, my mentor or Cayden." Ariana said as her voice slowly cracked. She tried her best to hold herself together as she held her head up high.
