Oh God, my head...what the hell happened last night...?
I woke up in a groggy daze, feeling stiff and store all over. I wiggled and moaned, trying to stretch my arms, and that's when I felt a firm tug on my skin, and heard the soft clinking of metal. I opened my eyes, not wanting to believe what I already knew...
Handcuffs. I was in handcuffs.
OK, OK, just stay calm, try and think...
I thought to myself, looking around. My hands were cuffed together, and the cuffs were wrapped around a metal bar connected to the wall, low to the ground. Shifting on the ground, I felt something rough tickle my leg...looking down, I saw it was hay; I was sitting in a big pile of it. It looked like I was in some kind of barn...more specifically, a large horse's stall. I wrinkled my nose in disgust; I hated farms, they were always so filthy. But dirt and grime were the least of my problems; some weirdo had kidnapped me!
I looked down at myself, taking solace in the fact that I was still clothed. In fact, I was wearing the same thing from last night, when we went out clubbing...I quick looked up, noticing moonlight through a high window. So I had been in here maybe a whole day...? What happened?
OK, we left early, when Kelsey picked me up, and then we had some drinks in the back....we egged Bessie's house, and then we headed downtown...umm....I didn't have that many drinks, did I? I can't remember anything after that, but ho-
I was pulled out of my thoughts by footsteps, and then a loud clanking noise from the stable door. I recoiled in fear, shivering as the door opened...
...revealing a petite, smiling girl.
"B-Betsy...?" I stammered out, not believing what I was seeing.
Betsy and I had known each other our whole lives, but we had never been on good terms. OK, that was an understatement; Betsy was a total dork; waaaaay too into all sorts of weird sci-fi stuff. She was also pretty chubby back in junior high, and some of the other cheerleaders and I had come up with with the nickname Bessie for her. Well...mostly, it was me, but I didn't think she knew that I had been the one to invent the name for her. Anyways, she ended up slimming up in high school, and even though I hated to admit it, she looked pretty good. Her body was trim and fit-looking, and her vibrant red hair stood out against her pale skin. Of course, she was still a weirdo, and it was just too much easy to pick on her.
Betsy smirked down on me as I struggled to wrap my mind around what was happening. "You...you kidnapped me?" I finally sputtered out, struggling weakly against my bonds once more, then shivering. The stall was actually pretty cold, and my miniskirt wasn't offering me much warmth.
"Betsy, huh?" Betsy replied casually, as though it were a polite conversation. With a small grunt of exertion, she dragged a large wood-paneled full length mirror into the stall, moving it against the wall opposite of me. I glanced at my reflection, looking pale and disheveled. My long blond hair was a mess, my carefully applied rouge lipstick was an embarrassing mess, and my cute tank top and skirt were ripped, smudged and torn. Thankfully, they still covered me somewhat modestly. Her work done, Betsy turned back to me.
"Betsy..." she repeated, almost to herself. "You know, that's funny, because I thought that you had come up with another fun name for me."
Well, crap, so she did know it was me. Still, what kind of psycho kidnaps someone over a name? Anger was starting to well up inside me, fueled by seeing my dismal-looking reflection, and I glared up at her. "Are you serious?! You fucking kidnapped me over a stupid name?! What kind of brain damage do you have, bitch?!"
Betsy glared back, apparently not intimidated in the slightest. "Yeah, it was juuuuuuuuuuuust over the name, Molly. It wasn't the constant teasing, the bullying, the hazings, the pranks...the fact that you totally made my junior high and high school years a living hell!"
"Oh, puh-leeze," I rolled my eyes, not believing what I was hearing. "We're both Freshman in college now; grow up and put that crap behind you. Besides, what have I done to you lately? Or even in high school, for that matter?"
"Other than egging my house again last night? Hmmm, let's see..." She brought a hand up to her chin, making a mockingly thoughtful expression. "I don't know, maybe Trent Larson's party?"
I grimaced at that...ok, that had been a little awkward. Betsy had gotten invited to a party my then-boyfriend Trent had been throwing, and had somehow gotten a little drunk. She proceeded to track me down in the middle of the living room, asking me out on a date, saying that she wished we could be friends, and more than that. Naturally, I had been totally creeped out, and I told her that I didn't date farm animals. The insult had apparently sobered her up, because she left in a crying fit. Word had gotten around school the next day, though, and Betsy was ostracized even more than before.
Still, that was no excuse to act like a psycho and kidnap someone! I let out an exasperated sigh, fuming up at her. "Come on, you can't hold that against me! You embarrassed me in front of Trent and everyone by acting like a drunken weirdo. Besides, everyone knew you were kidding!"
