If I don't have money to go to college, I can only go to slay the dragon

Chapter 379 Party Call
11:30 in the middle of the night.

The darkness starts from the sky of the small town and continues to the end of the universe. The ancient prehistoric—human fantasy, only humans can think of such a deep place, all darken into black with the darkness of the night sky, leaving only the vast The mighty silence and emptiness.The inside and outside of the house became one, and only the last light of human nature lit a lamp, which lasted forever on the side of the street.

Mandy bent down and took out a can of beer from the refrigerator, her low hair hanging by her side let in some light from the room, her pure white loose T-shirt was hung on her back, and the excess fabric on her chest and front of her body was covered Pulled by gravity, it fell down, and the outlines of beautiful tracks were vaguely reflected under the transparent white T-shirt.

It's a pity that not many people were lucky enough to enjoy this scene, because only Mandy lived in this house, Nuo Da's room was empty, echoing the wind blowing from the lake, there was a whining sound behind the curtains, two Folding a crack of the venetian blind with your fingers, you can still see the half moon swaying on the black lake in the distance.

The homework and textbooks on the coffee table in the living room are scattered, and the never-ending TV commercials are playing on the TV. When Mandy walks to the table with a cold beer, she mutes the TV and pats the table away. After a slightly jammed reading tape, "Old_Time_Rock_and_Roll_" began to play in the room. The dynamic music made her pat the back of her hand holding the cold beer, shook her body slightly, turned around and lay down on the bed .

Maybe it was because the speed of falling was too fast. After falling on the bed, the cold beer in her hand spilled a little and poured on her T-shirt. The cold liquid made her cry out He immediately sat up and wiped the water stains with a little embarrassment. At this time, the white phone on the table rang.

Mandy picked up the phone while wiping her clothes with her head down, and turned down the volume of the tape recorder. Immediately after she connected the phone, there was a lot of noise coming from the opposite side, which made her hold the phone up with raised eyebrows slightly. Keep it a little farther away from your ears, and come closer when the voice on the other side becomes normal.

"Mandy! Mandy! Can you hear me! Mandy!" The girl's excited cheers came from the other end of the phone. The background music was the loud screams of many people, the noise of heavy objects falling into the water The screams of the splashing crowd.

"Lily? Is it Lily?" Mandy scratched her eyebrows lightly while holding the phone, "You called me at the party?"

"Yeah! Mandy, I'm at a party and you really should come, my God, he tried to jump over the bonfire! That Italian transfer student! He's going to jump over the bonfire!"

"What campfire...? Lily, did you call me for something? How much did you drink?" Mandy shook her head with a wry smile. In fact, she probably heard that the other party had drunk too much. Those fraternity boys usually They all had a great time, and I don't know how much Lily has been drunk tonight.

"Wine? I don't know. There's too much wine in here! I just wanted to tell you. The party was great tonight! I wish you were here too! Mandy! You know what. Just now hahahaha just now Someone put the fish in the aquarium on the grill, grilled it, sandwiched it into hamburgers and hot dogs, and ate it hahaha!" Lily laughed out of style, while matching with the sudden surging cheers in the background shouted, "He jumped over it! I knew transfer students could do it! He jumped over the campfire!"

"Okay. You are in a villa in the suburbs, right? There is a bonfire? Please tell me that the host of the party is the president of the fraternity, Cross? Is that the name? I remember telling him to restrain himself and pay attention to the fire. I don't want my uncle. I have to go to your place with the fire brigade in the middle of the night." Mandy sighed and persuaded helplessly.

"You should come Mandy I'm serious, you should come! The transfer students are here! There's a lot of hiccups, a lot of people you don't know! Someone suggested they're going to fill the swimming pool with beer! Italy The transfer student is calling the bar on the street, you really should come! Come now to catch up with the interesting part!" Lily shouted with some lisp.

"No, I'll forget it, I just finished my homework and I'm watching TV at home." Mandy looked up at the TV advertisement on the TV, "You guys, just have fun, but be careful not to drink too much Now, be careful of being taken advantage of by others. Where is Amara? She should be with you too? Is she still awake now?"

"Amala? Amala Amara is a scumbag!" Lily yelled, giggling, "She's drunk! Passed out, she was carried out of the party and sent home!"

"Holded. Who was hugged out of the party?" Mandy was stunned for a moment, and immediately asked after finding out that Lily's wording was wrong, "Is it a boy? Someone we know? Who took her away?"

".Boys! But which one. Hey, Mandy! Are you coming to the party? They have a cake for Russian roulette, and whoever loses gets to dance all over the cake!"

"Lily, wake up, I'm asking you who carried Amara out of the party." Mandy sat up suddenly, pressed her temples and asked, "She's our good friend! Don't let him be caught by someone who doesn't know her." Taken away! This could be serious, Lily! Can you hear me?"

"My God, there are two boys who are going to jump over the bonfire like that Italian transfer student! Wait, do they know that there is someone on the other side of the bonfire they are facing!"

Lily on the other end of the phone was completely out of focus on the phone, and was just retelling the scene of the party on her own, just as chaotic and crazy as her current logic and articulation.

"Lily. Hey! Lily! Is there a phone with Amara?"

"They jumped! Oh shit!" Lily yelled in confusion from the other end of the phone, "Those two boys hit the campfire and fell. Drag them out! Drag them out quickly! Throw them in In the swimming pool! Hahahaha”

Mandy sits on the couch listening to the clutter on the phone with nothing but headaches and anxiety, and one of her best friends is now drunk and probably taken out of the party by a stranger!Although it is very common for men and women to have sex at parties, being carried away from the party scene is a big and small thing. It is hard to imagine what will happen to a young girl who is taken to other places so late matter!
However, the only other friend who can help Amala is still watching two idiots jumping into the bonfire. She began to think about whether there is a chance to save her friend from the stranger's crotch by going to the suburbs now. .

"Oh, they're all right, thank God Mandy Mandy? Are you still there? Mandy!" On the phone, Lily seemed to come to her senses. After being frightened by some stimulation, she finally regained consciousness and remembered that she was still there. Call your bestie.

"I'm here, Lily, listen to me, I'm asking you a question. Who did you see Amara take? Do you know that person? How drunk is Amara?" Mandy covered her ears (actually no use at all) asked aloud.

"Why do you care about this? Amala is just drunk, and the transfer student sent her home." Lily's voice was still a little dazed.

"Transfer student?" Mandy frowned, "You just give the phone to the host of the party and say that I have something to do with him."

"Hey! Wait, I'm going to play Russian roulette too. I mean I dance really well!" However, Lily stopped listening to Mandy on the phone, and the girl's thinking went astray again, this time He simply forgot about the phone call. Mandy only heard a whistling wind, and then the sound of falling into the water, until the phone was forced to hang up.

Mandy put down the phone with a sad and depressed face. She can probably guess how the phone on the other end was treated, and she didn't know what it would be like for the host of the party to wake up tomorrow and find her phone floating in the swimming pool.

But the most important thing now is Amara's problem. Lily said that Amara was taken away drunk. Mandy really cares about this matter, especially this afternoon. It’s hard to let her feel at ease. Although everyone is an adult and has to be responsible for their actions, she has always regarded Amara as her junior. Are you responsible?

Mandy quickly put the beer can on the table, plugged the phone back into the slot on the table, turned off the TV, stood up, picked up the coat on the sofa, and was about to rush out, when she was about to go to the door, she suddenly stopped He stopped, turned his head suddenly for no reason, and looked at the French windows in the yard!

Outside the window, under the dim moonlight, the lawn was silent, and there were no crickets in the bushes. Iron thorns stood on the top of the black and red fence surrounding the yard, and outside was the dark street. The nearest street lamp was Ten meters away, the dim light could hardly illuminate the whole yard.

Mandy stood still for a while, staring at the dark and silent yard outside the window without saying a word, the room was so quiet that only her breathing could be heard, her reflection in front of the door was reflected on the turned off TV screen and in the floor-to-ceiling windows. A motionless figure.

After a while, the sound of a passing motorcycle engine outside the street broke the uncomfortably dead silence.

As if breaking the ice, Mandy let out a sigh of relief, ending the weird stalemate. She didn't even know why she froze like this all of a sudden, as if someone had locked her neck. But in this room there was only she alone?What is she suspicious about?
".illusion?"

She took a breath, tidied up her coat and relieved goosebumps all over her body for no reason, and was about to leave the room, but the moment she put her hand on the doorknob, the phone on the table inside the room suddenly rang.

The piercing ringtone made Mandy jump, and she took a step back. When she turned her head to look at the phone on the table, she took a deep breath and turned her head to pant before she quickly walked over to answer the phone.

"Hello? Who?" Mandy asked after a moment of hesitation.

"Is it Mandy Gonzalez's house?" A strange voice rang on the phone.

"It's me. Are you?" Mandy quickly retrieved the voice in her mind, but she didn't remember much.

"Today's transfer student during the day, the one with the red hair." The girl said.

".Chen Motong?" As soon as the red-haired girl was mentioned, Mandy's mind jumped out of the impressive three transfer students this morning.

"It's me." Chen Motong said, "Did you call Lili just now?"

"Yes, I wanted to ask if my friend Amara was taken out of the party by a stranger?" Mandy said. "Are you at the party? Do you know about it?"

"Amara? The one with pale blond hair?" Chen Motong asked.

"Yes, have you seen him?"

"She drank too much and was very uncomfortable. She kept yelling to go home. I asked my friend to take her back first." Chen Motong explained, "I heard Lily mention at the party that you might come to the party to find Amara, I just borrowed the phone to call you, Amara should be home by now."

"So that's it." Mandy suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, sat on the sofa, and after a while of silence, she continued to nod and said, "Thank you. If I have time tomorrow, I will thank you personally. I heard that Amara was I was taken aback by taking it away."

"Just explain clearly, and aren't you going to the party? It's very interesting here, and everyone has a good time." Chen Motong asked.

"Are you at the party right now? Why didn't you hear the noise?" Mandy asked.

"I'm in the villa, and the sound insulation in the room is very good." Chen Motong said, "They're probably having a striptease now, I don't like it, so I come in and take a rest."

"As long as you have fun." Mandy shook her head and said, "I won't come."

".Don't like social activities?" Chen Motong asked.

"Absolutely." Mandy smiled lightly and said, "You transfer students are quite skilled, and you can sneak into the fraternity party so quickly."

"One of our transfer students was the president of the student union of another school before coming here. He has pretty good social skills. He has already called brothers and sisters with the group of fraternities in half a day today. The president insisted that the position of the next president should be pushed away Let him sit." Chen Motong also said with a light smile.

"Is that Cesar Gattuso?"

"Right. Looks like he made a good impression on you?"

"Not really." Mandy shook her head and said with a smile, "I like the black-haired one better than him, it seems Chu Zihang?"

"Do you like boys with black hair?" Chen Motong nodded thoughtfully.

"This is a bit out of context." Mandy lay down on the sofa with a light smile and wrapped her fingers around the hair in front of her shoulders. "I just think that Chu Zihang is very familiar. I feel like I have known him anywhere before." People like him."

"I'll pass on the exact words to Chu Zihang." Chen Motong said with a smile, "I didn't expect the prom queen, the influential figure in the school to like black-haired boys, would those black-haired boys be very happy?"

"It's up to you." Mandy heard that the other party was just teasing herself, and also smiled indifferently and said, "Have fun."

"Okay. Are you home alone?" Chen Motong asked casually before he was about to hang up the phone.

"Yeah, I live alone, what's wrong?" Mandy asked.

"It's nothing. If you live alone, you have to be careful. After all, something happened in the afternoon." Chen Motong reminded.

"Understood." Mandy answered and hung up the phone casually.

Sitting on the sofa with a long sigh of relief, Mandy turned her head to look at the quiet yard outside the window, got up, walked to the French window and opened the window, suddenly a gust of cool wind came in and blew her wet white T-shirt Some coolness.

She walked to the lawn outside with bare feet and stood alone in the dark yard. The only light source was the white light in the room behind her. The shadow was cast on the lawn in the yard. She turned her head and looked around the yard to make sure there was nothing wrong. After the person, he shook his head and walked into the house. When he closed the French windows, he pinned the lock on the way.

Before returning to the sofa, Mandy picked up the phone and dialed a number to go out. After waiting for 2 minutes, only a busy signal came from the phone. She patiently dialed again. It was only then that the phone finally rang with a click.
