Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared) novel Chapter 13

Chapter 13 

Agnes never fancied highcollar shirts, and Beatrice knew this well. Today she felt weird somehow, and it turned out to be a bombshell discovery

Beatrice stepped up and yanked down Agnescollar, Agnes, I’m gonna tell Dad about you messing around with some dude! You’ve got a hickey, but you broke up with Elton, so it must have been the guy who dropped you off today!” 

Beatrice looked at her with scorn, Agnes, I never thought you’d be such a floozy. Bet you stabbed Elton in the back, and that’s why he dumped you, right?” 

Beatrice, zip it.” 

I hit the nail on the head, didn’t I? If you want me to keep mum, hand me the invite and tell Dad yourself that you don’t wanna go. Or else, Dad will hear it from me, as well as Elton and his folks.” 

Agnes handed over the invite, not because she was scared of Beatrice’s threat, but because she was fed up with hearing Elton’s name

After Beatrice took the invite and left with a smug grin, Agnes felt like the world was finally quiet

The next day, Agnes got up early skipped breakfast, and headed back to school with her luggage

Agnes was a junior journalism major at Lakeside College

Just as she entered the school gate, she received a distress message from her roommate, Kerri. The 5 Bitches had trapped her in the medical lab

Upon seeing the message, Agnes immediately tossed her suitcase and bolted towards the lab building

Agnes was in a hurry because she knew this was serious. She had done research on bullying at school, and these five mean girls were the main perps. They had formed a group called the Ice Cream Club and 90% of the bullying incidents at Lakeside College were related to this group

All the violence was caused by a guy, Ryder Whitfield, a hotshot and a medical student at Lakeside College. Some said a pretty woman was a ticking time bomb, but a goodlooking guy could stir up just as much trouble

Ryder was a case in point. He was a straightA student, attractive, and had a lot of female admirers at school. Because he was icy and aloof, his fans nicknamed him Prince Frost and formed a group called the Ice Cream Club. The five ringleaders called themselves Ice Cream Princesses, but everyone else knew them as the 5 Bitches

They ruled the school with an iron fist, picking on any girl who had contact with Ryder. Any girl who had written him a love letter, given him a gift, or even talked to him a few times would be targeted
