Chapter 26. The Field trip 5
Olivia
We all started in shock.
“But…you…” I stammered. Tina asked me to keep quiet and went over to hug her.
“So, where is the tour guide?” Mr Scott asked as he angrily kicked the door open.
“He jumped out the window when Olivia knocked on the door,” Helen said as she pointed to the window.
The window was truly opened, but I wasn't convinced.
“Helen, tell us the truth. I clearly saw and heard you guys shouting at each other. You even mentioned my name.” I said.
“What more proof do you need to know that she is telling us the truth? We all saw how he was looking at you suspiciously earlier.” Lucas growled at me.
“It’s okay everyone.” Mr Scott yelled out. “Helen, why were you with the tour guide in the first place? The instruction given to you guys was to go into the bus.” He added.
“We did talk about Olivia. He lured me in to ask about her.” Helen said.
“Why will he ask you about me? Why would you fall prey to that?” I interrupted her.
“Quiet, Olivia!” Lucas growled.
Helen shot me a triumphant smile that barely lasted a second before pasting the fake distressed expression back on her face.
She sniffed and continued, “I didn't want to go in. I told him I wouldn't answer any of his questions and tried to walk away. That's when he dragged me in and locked the door. I tried to fight him, but he was too strong… He… he then tried to kiss me. When I failed to give in, that was when he harassed me sexually. He tried to tear off my clothes and I fought with him. He jumped out of the
window when he heard your voice. I think Olivia was shocked to see me in such a state. That was why she was confused.”
What? Confused? This girl is really something else. But why would the tour guide jump out the window? I'm certain he and Helen were arguing about me and they were in no way close to each other from what I saw. Could he have truly attacked in the few seconds I took my eye off the peephole?
“Fine. Since we all now know what happened, we need to take the necessary action. I will go and talk to the manager about this and once he is found, he will be brought to the palace for justice.” Mr Scott said.
“You guys should head back to the bus. Everyone else must be worried by now.” He added.
Mr Scott went into the manager’s office and we all went downstairs to go to the bus. Tina and Trisha gave me a disgusting look. They were angry at me for not believing Helen. NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
The triplets were quiet and I could see Logan glancing at me occasionally.
“That’s him,” Helen said as she pointed to our tour guide in the lobby.
The triplets quickly rushed to him, giving him one hell of a beating before making him kneel. The receptionist rushed over to them and Lucas whispered to her. She asked and quickly ushered out the humans in the lobby, making up an excuse.
Soon, nearly everyone was present. Mr Scott had gotten the manager and they were both present. Mrs Pearson and the students had all left the bus and everyone was lingering in the lobby.
The tour guide looked surprised when he heard what Helen had said about him. He gasped along with everyone else as she mentioned the part about being harassed. His shock gave way to anger and he growled, causing Lucas to deliver another punch to his gut. He groaned and spluttered as he looked up, but remained on his knees.
“That's absolutely not what happened! She told me she had some questions to ask me about the paranormal section. I told her she could ask me anything, but she insisted it had to be private, as she didn't want anyone… any wolf to overhear us. She claimed it was a really sensitive matter and I led her to that room. As soon as we entered the room, she suddenly changed the topic by asking about what I knew about Olivia.” The tour guide said.
“I said it. They were talking about me but you guys chose to believe Helen over me.” I interrupted.
“Do you wish to be punished, Olivia? This is a serious matter and you are playing the victim here. Can you just stop?” Lucien growled while Lucas gave me a dead stare.
I noticed the stares everyone was giving me and that only enraged me further. Logan only glanced at me without saying a word.
Josh walked over to me and clasped my hand in his, he muttered at me to stay silent.
“But, everything Helen had said was a lie,” I whispered to him.
“Enough!” The manager yelled out.
We all kept quiet and then he turned to Mr Scott who was now fuming. “Mr Park here is one of our best employees. He has even won the award as the best employee for two consecutive years. And something like this has never happened. We even have someone amongst us who was standing outside the room, and she says what your student is saying wasn't what truly happened. Why don’t you allow us to question him before you report him to the palace?"
“Helen is the Beta’s only child. His father will be furious when he hears this. I’m sorry, but this matter will only be settled at the palace. I have already reported the situation to the palace and the guards
will be here soon to take him to the palace for questioning."
“Helen, why don’t you tell the truth?! We both know that's not what really happened. At least, listen to what Olivia says” The tour guide yelled out.
"That's enough," Lucas growled as he dragged him off. He came back a couple of minutes later and informed us that he had locked the tour guard in the room. Mr Scott declared that he would keep watch and strode off in the direction Lucas came from.
We all lingered as we waited for the guards. I ignored the triplets and the rest of the class and Josh and I secluded ourselves. I watched as everyone else fussed over Helen who looked like she was enjoying the attention.
"I can't believe she's willing to ruin a man's life just so she can have the attention she wants."
Josh sighed from beside me. Just then, my head shot up as I thought of something.
I pinched Josh in excitement and whispered, "CCTV!"
"What?" He asks, rubbing where I had pinched him.
"There's CCTV everywhere in the lobby and in the exhibit rooms we went to. What if there was CCTV in that room?"
His eyes widened, "That's a great idea, Liv. Let's go ask the manager."
We hurriedly went over to the manager who explained that unfortunately, there were no CCTV cameras in the room Helen and Mr Park were in. I deflated and we went back to where we were standing.
Just then, the guards arrived and took him to the palace. Before they left for the palace, one of the guards approached Helen and told her that the Beta insisted she come with them.
She smiled, “I’m fine. Tell my dad that his daughter fought well to protect herself. And I don’t want to ruin the fun we were supposed to have.” She said.
The guards left with Mr Park and the manager apologized to everyone and we all went back to the bus.
“Why don’t we all go back to school now, Mr Scott,” Tina asked. “We were attacked by the rogues earlier and now Helen was harassed. If this isn't a sign that we should not go further, I don't know what is.” She added.
“Stop being a crybaby, Tina. You are too timid for a werewolf. I was the one who was harassed and I feel better already, especially since I now know he will be brought to justice. Let’s enjoy ourselves before we have to head back to school” Helen said.
“Helen is right. Let’s leave all these behind us and have fun, everyone. Okay?” Mrs Pearson said.
I was so pissed as I looked at Helen throughout our journey. She wrapped herself around Lucas and allowed Lucien and Logan to fuss over her. And everyone else gossiped about me till we arrived at the beach.
Everyone was happy at the sight of the ocean. The ocean was clear and soon enough, everyone was running towards it in excitement.
“You all can swim but don’t go too far and remember to always be in pairs.” Mrs Pearson yelled.
We all nodded and everyone changed into their swimming trunks. Helen paired with Lucien who couldn't take his eyes off her tiny bikini.
Lucas sat quietly with Mrs Pearson and Mr Scott. Josh and I made a pair and just then Logan approached us.
“Wanna swim together, Olivia?”
