7 - Tilly

BEEP BEEP BEEP

I begrudgingly rolled over and turned off the alarm on my phone. I yawned and stretched before forcing myself out of bed.

I walked over to my wardrobe to choose my outfit for the day.

No, nope, boring, doesn’t show enough cleavage… ah, perfect!

I pulled the top off its hanger and laid it out on my bed. It was a cute little black crop top with big letters that just said “FUCK” across the front. It’s crazy what you can get away with in a school for the richest of the rich. My parents home schooled me until I was 18, and they were really strict, so I enjoyed doing things that I’d never been able to get away with before.

I picked up my phone and checked the ’Sluts of Aurelian’ group chat. That was the name of our friendship group. The chat was pretty quiet as always, the other girls only really spoke in there when they needed help with assignments and stuff, which I would always help with since I was the smartest by far.

After scrolling through social media for a while, I eventually put my phone down and started doing my make up. I’d never really worn makeup before Aurelian, but I learned pretty quick after watching some tutorials online. I liked how pretty it made me feel, and how all the boys looked at me as I walked past.

Once I’d finished my makeup, I threw on the outfit I’d previously decided on, grabbed my bag, and left my apartment. Hot bitches don’t eat breakfast.

----------------------------------------

“Hey Ellie!”, I shouted as I entered the classroom and saw my best friend. She was the most popular girl in college, and for good reason too. She was beautiful, strong, and didn’t let anyone push her around.

“This seat free?”, I asked, gesturing to the seat next to Ellie.

“Oh… hey Tilly. Um, I think Stacey’s gonna sit there, but that one over there is free.” She pointed to a seat a few spaces to her left. As I turned to pull the seat out and get my things out of my bag, I heard Ellie and my other friend Sarah giggling.

“What ya laughing at?” I asked, “Thought of another prank to play on Jess? She was such a bitch the other day, good thing we put her in her place.”

“Uh, yeah!”, Sarah replied, “We might do the hot water one again or something.”

“That’s still the best idea I’ve ever had!” I said, laughing.

“Ah Stacey, thank god!”, Ellie shouted across the classroom as she saw Stacey walk in, “Come sit here!”

Stacey walked over and took the seat next to Ellie.

“Hey Stacey!”, I said, “We were just talking about how we’re gonna do my idea to pour hot water on Jess again.”

“Right…” She replied

As I spoke the devil’s name, she appeared in the doorway. Jess took a seat on the opposite side of the classroom, not looking at any of us.

Smug bitch. What the fuck is she even wearing? It’s no wonder she’s never had a boyfriend. They really shouldn’t let peasants like her into the school.

“If only she knew what we have planned for her”, I whispered to my friends.

Mr Jones, who led our math seminars, stood up from his desk at the front of the classroom. “Settle down everyone! Get your books out, we’re going to be continuing what we covered in our last lecture.”

“Ok, pedo”, I whispered again.

----------------------------------------

“Thank fuck that‘s over.” Ellie said as soon as we left the classroom. “I fucking hate my dad for forcing me to take math.”

“Same here”, Stacey replied.

“At least your dad didn’t home school you until you were 18, you’re honestly so lucky” I said.

Sarah looked up from her phone, “Guys! Drink 'n Clink are doing an under 25s only evening, you down?”

“Sure, it’d be nice if the guys buying me drinks were under 50 for once”, Ellie replied.

“Count me in!”, I said, “I wanna see how many guys I can pickup in this top, I mean my tits are literally spilling out. It sucks having big boobs.”

“Let’s say meet up in an hour?”, Sarah asked.

“Sure”, the other two agreed.

“I’m already in my outfit, I’ll just come round yours Ellie.”

“Actually,” she replied, “could I borrow that new lipstick you got?”

“Oh yeah, I have it in my bag let me get it”

“No, the other one, the red one you got the other day.”

“Oh, that’s all the way back at my place though.”

“No problem, see you in an hour?”

“Yeah, I’ll text you guys in the group chat.” I said, before starting the walk back to my dorm room.

I had been planning to work on mine and Ellie’s math assignments, but I couldn’t miss a classic girls night out, so I’d do it the next day.

My dorm room wasn’t too far of a walk away, it only took me about 20 minutes to get there. I unlocked the room to my apartment and went to my dresser to look for the lipstick.

It’ll hardly take me an hour to find this, not sure why Ellie didn’t ask me to just go to hers once I had it.

Ellie struggled with body issues, always saying she wasn’t skinny enough. She’s was probably just embarrassed to get dressed in front of me.

Might as well get started on my assignments while I wait. I thought, walking to my desk and taking my things out of my backpack.

----------------------------------------

40 minutes after the girls and I decided to split up, I sent then a text in the group chat, asking where we were meeting. They got so many notifications that they often didn’t see my messages, so I started walking anyway and hoped they would respond in time.

It was just past 6pm but since it was late October, it had already started getting dark. The walkways were still pretty busy though and there were lights everywhere so it wasn’t too bad. My legs were a little cold and I wondered if I shouldn’t have worn a mini skirt, but you have to make sacrifices if you want to be hot.

As I reached the other girl’s apartment building I saw them already walking away from it towards the retail and entertainment district.

“Guys! Wait up!” I shouted to them.

I saw them turn around, and then Ellie said something to the other two that I was too far away to hear.

After jogging a little to catch up with them, we all walked to the bar together.

The retail and entertainment district was the part of campus where all of the shops, restaurants, clubs and bars were. It where the night life lived, and an almost daily destination for me and my friends.

Being one of the best colleges in the world, Aurelian had students of all ages. Most were undergrads, but there were a handful of post graduate old men doing research and stuff. It always sucked when the bars were full of them. College life should be about meeting hot young guys, not creepy old men. The under 25s nights were the best.

We got to the bar, showed the bouncers our IDs, and walked inside. I'm pretty sure one of them was checking me out.

"I almost forgot, here." I said, handing the lipstick Ellie had asked for to her.

"Oh sorry, Tills, I decided to use a different one in the end. This one matches my top better."

"Ah, ok. That's fine, you're right that one looks so good on you!"

"Drinks on you Tilly?" Stacey asked.

"Why am I always the one buying drinks?" I protested.

"One, we taught you how to be hot, two, we found you that guy that you hooked up with last week, and three, you get the biggest allowance out of all of us." Sarah replied.

"That guy wasn't even any good in bed! But fine, I guess I can afford it." I said.

And so we drank. And drank. And kept drinking. Sarah went off to make out with some guy at one point, so it was just me, Ellie, and Stacey left at our table.

"When are you gonna go find a hot guy to shag?" I asked Stacey.

"These guys are all gross, I don't wanna waste my time with them.", she replied. I'm pretty sure I saw her glance briefly at Ellie, but I was too drunk to know for sure.

"OMG wait, is that guy checking me out?", I said, spotting a hunky guy with black hair and huge arms at the bar. I had seen him look over at me from the corner of my eye a few times.

"Doubt it." Ellie replied.

I looked at her, offended.

"I mean, he looks really gay. He's probably looking at some other dude." she quickly corrected herself.

"I don't think he looks gay", I replied. "I'm gonna go talk to him"

I got up and walked over to the guy.

"That's a bold top you've got on there" he said as he saw me approaching.

"Why you looking at my tits?" I asked.

"Cuz you're hot." He replied.

"Shut up", I said, giggling.

"Mind if I buy you a drink?" He asked.

"Only if it's vodka."

"Got ya. Hey, two vodkas!", he motioned to the bartender.

----------------------------------------

I talked to the guy for what felt like hours. His name was Patrick, he was studying music, and he was so hot. He also happened to be a really nice guy. He'd agreed to come back to my place after we left, which would no doubt lead to sex.

"I gotta pee!", I said, shouting over the loud music that had started not too soon after Patrick and I had begun speaking.

I got up and walked into the girl's bathroom. I looked at myself in the mirror. Yep, I can see why he likes me.

After going to the toilet and freshening up my makeup, I left the bathroom and started heading back towards Patrick.

Ellie was now stood next to him, saying something to him. Probably giving him the best friend talk. 'If you hurt my friend I'll kill you bla bla bla.'

"Hey guys!", I said as I joined them.

"Oh, hey." Patrick replied. He didn't seem as energetic as before.

"Still good to go back to mine?" I asked.

"About that. Something came up, one of my mates needs help with something. Sorry", he replied.

"Oh. Ok, that's fine. I'll just take your number then." That sucks.

"My phones dead, and I'm too drunk to remember the number. I'm sure I'll see you around though?"

"Yeah... sure."

Is he rejecting me? Things were going so well before, what happened?

"Hey Tilly, me and the girls were thinking of heading back now. You coming?" Said Ellie.

"But we've only been here a few hours?", I replied.

"Yeah, Stacey isn't feeling too well, and we have a lecture first thing tomorrow."

"Yeah I guess you're right, let's go."

The four of us left the bar.

Shit, it's cold. I thought as I walked out. If I didn't regret the mini skirt before, I definitely did now.

After walking for a couple of minutes, Sarah spoke.

"Fuck, guys, I left my purse in the bar. Mind coming back with me to get it?"

"Oh sure.", Ellie replied.

We all turned and started walking back.

"Oh Tilly, you don't need to come, you have a long walk home, you should go before it gets too cold."

"Are you sure? I don't mind."

"You need to get some sleep! You are the smart one after all, can't be having you all tired tomorrow!", Ellie said.

"Maybe if you guys actually did your own assignments you'd be smart too!"

"And if we didn't help you pick your outfits, you'd still be a virgin", Stacey joked.

"Ok, I guess I'll text you guys."

"Yep. Bye!"

----------------------------------------

The campus was practically empty by this time. Everyone was either in their dorms or out clubbing somewhere, especially since it was so cold out.

I wrapped my coat around top half as I walked, trying to keep myself warm as best as I could. I couldn't stop thinking about Patrick.

Why had he suddenly changed his mind? No way did his friend need help and his phone died so he couldn't take my number. Did Ellie say something to him? No, why would she?

About halfway into my walk, I noticed two figures sat on a bench about 30 feet away. There was a streetlight shining directly on them, making it easy to recognize who they were.

Jess and Theo. The school's biggest losers.

No way are those two fucking? Theo's a poor peasant, sure, but he isn't that unattractive. Why on earth would he go for someone as fugly as Jess?

Although it kind of made sense, they really didn't have any other choice.

Even the fucking losers are getting more action that me.

10 minutes later I arrived outside my apartment building. I started fumbling through my purse for my key when I heard a low growling next to me. I snapped my heard to the side, and standing just a few feet away was what looked like a mutant, rabid dog. Its eyes were glowing bright red, and drool was dripping from its mouth. It had an evil grin on its face, showing its large, sharp teeth. The dog was only about two foot tall, but it had big, solid muscles that created defined bumps in its matted fur.

"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!”
