I woke up in a mysterious room, with my hands tied. " WHAT THE HECK," I said quickly looking around at my surroundings. " I suggest you shut up," a random voice said. Who was he to first, kidnap me and second precede to tell me to shut up? I turned to see a guy holding Arlen by his arms. He sat him right next to me. " Are you Stupid, why didn't you run?" I said11Please respect copyright.PENANAJAmylKKD3t
"Mel, how in the world would I run?" He answered" I thought you were faster than that," I said "Whatever what do you think they want from you," he said completely ignoring my statement." Probably money" I answered11Please respect copyright.PENANAjuLRZW6Mes
"Listen, kids," the random voice said again "Look I don't know who you are" he pointed to Arlen." but you're ruining my plan and possibly my money" he continued " Who paid you to do this?" I said confusingly. " Shut up, I'll deal with you later," he said." Why are you so rude?" Arlen said " Arlen he's a kidnapper I don't think he's supposed to be nice," I said. " You know him?" The voice said "Yes I do" I replied. I mean duh why else would he be in my room? The mysterious guy suddenly pulled out a gun.11Please respect copyright.PENANASAyRx5ln7K
"OH MY GOD"I suddenly felt Arlen tug at my sleeve and push me down. " CALM DOWN, I'M NOT GONNA SHOOT," the voice said. "Listen if you too stay quiet unless spoken to none of you will get shot" he continued. I could feel my heart beating so fast. " If you are wondering who hired me, umm "he paused. "What's your name?" he pointed at me " Melanie" I answered. "Yes, Melanie's mom hired me" My mom? Is he serious? If he's speaking the truth, she must have gone crazy! " She wants me to find you some boyfriend" Of course, that sounds like my mom. Did she realize what kinda of people she hired? This seemed more like an attempt to kill me than find me a boyfriend. "You have three options" Three guys who looked around my age walked in.11Please respect copyright.PENANA73sYpjuRvl
"This one, two and three. You'll get 4 days to decide who you are going to date" 4 days? What is this the Bachelor? "Twos kinda cute" I whispered to Arlen. " Are you really thinking about dating one of these guys?" He whispered back "Not unless you want to die, yes" I whispered back" I'm sorry am I interrupting your conversation," the man said as he waved the gun around. " Um no sorry," I said quickly. " You'll go on a date with each guy for the next three days and on day four will be your day to decide which one you're going to date. Each one will text you with which time, date, and place to meet them. You understand?" he said " Yes," I said " Great, you both may leave," The guy said. 11Please respect copyright.PENANAjdYjzFRB6T
Me and Arlen got escorted out and we walked back home." That was insane," Arlen said "Yeah, not exactly what I was planning" I responded trying my best to hold back my tears. It hurt me that my mom-my own mom would set me up. " You good," Arlen asked. "I'm fine" I responded, I tried so hard to look ok but Arlen being my best friend could clearly tell when I wasn't my best. "If you want I can stay over," he said. " No, it's ok" I answered. He stopped me and looked me straight in the eye with his hand on my shoulder, " You sure?" He asked. " I'm sure, I promise I'll be fine," I said swallowing back my tears.11Please respect copyright.PENANA6pU883au2d
After we continued our walk back home. When we finally got back to my place I thanked Arlen and hugged him Goodbye.11Please respect copyright.PENANAOP2CAYkOKc
