hair." I say.

 

 

I pointed out to the girl, who was complimenting me earlier.

 

"Oh her, let me see if I can pull up her resume." Lauren said, scrolling through her phone.

 

 

"MMmmm. Ah! here she is. Ruby Giles. I looked at Ruby's resume earlier and it's...not good." Lauren replied.

 

"Well is there something you can do, to get her on the list. I can really see Ruby having a future here." I said.

 

 

I showed sympathy for Ruby, the girl I saw earlier.

 

"Sadly only a few make it to be interns here at FARELLE, maybe even one, of all the girls will work here. And when you applied, you won out of 10 girls. So be lucky you got in here." Lauren replied.

 

 

"Well, you'll find some way to get her here, right?" I pleaded.

 

"Aw, you actually like the girl and you think she has a shot here. Well, i'll see what I can do, but don't hope on getting her here some other way."

 

 

Lauren left back to her office and I was left to stand alone, near the reception desk.

 

Pretty soon the intern visit was over and all the girls left.

 

I started to feel bad, knowing that before I had a chance to work here, I was up against 10 girls.

 

 

I didn't even know.

 

I was hoping that Ruby will get to go here, sooner or later.

 

 

Ruby waved goodbye and I waved back.

 

She was a happy girl, who deserves to be here.

 

 

After getting back to work, I realized that I needed a break.

 

I worked hard these past few years.

 

 

Just then, Lauren broke news to me while I was taking my little break.

 

 

"Elle come here, I spoke with FARELLE's chairman and they agreed on having Ruby work here, if she works as a pre-intern until next year. When the jobs are up for grabs and official." 

 

"Wow, that's great. Thanks for that Lauren, I knew for a fact, that she'll get to work here." I said.

 

"Woah, hold on there, might. At a slight chance, she might not make it to being an intern here next year. Just like the others, she qualifies as an intern. She's just working here until we all have summer break."

 

 

I understood that Ruby might not be working here for good, but at least a good try for her to get the experience before she searches elsewhere.

 

"Okay, when is Ruby gonna be starting here?" I asked.

 

"She starts next week." Lauren said, running off to her office again.

 

 

I knew Lauren had tons of work to do, but I felt like interuppting her to find out that Ruby's chance to work here is early possible.

 

I have a good feeling about this and Ruby. 

 

 

Sara buds in on my thoughts.

 

"So wow, Ruby might actually get to work here?" she asked.

 

"Yeah and you know what that means?" I said.

 

 

"What?" she said back.

 

"You're gonna be an assitant next year, so you'll actually have responsbilities like Marcus." I say.

 

 

Sara's smile disappeared, as she looked off to the distance where Marcus was choosing a piece of paper to put up in the main desk area.

 

"Crap, I have to look forward to that. Neing an assitant." she said, sounding scared.

 

"Yep, and Ruby's gonna be my intern." I said.

 

 

Sara looked back at me.

 

"You're kidding. And you're sure about this?" she said.

 

 

"Because she's interested in the writer's department and plus, FARELLE throws all the chosen interns to one of the important people from each department. And since i'm Writer and Editor of FARELLE, I get to choose Ruby." I say.

 

 

Sara scoffed and went back to work.

 

And I, went to lunch.

 

 

"It's been so long since i've eaten lunch here." Marybella said, sitting down at our table in the Cafe.

 

"Yeah I know, but can you believe our last months here before summer break is upon us and the trip for FARELLE in Brazil is just a month away. I can't wait to go." Rikki said eating.

 

 

"I can't wait to work for FARELLLE soon." a familar voice rang in my head.

 

"Ruby!" I said looking up at her.

 

 

She sat down across from me.

 

"I'm still here. Lunch is part of the tour. And I found your crew."

 

 

"What?" Marybella asked.

 

"Crew, like your group of friends, homies, savage squad." she says.

 

 

"Savage squad?" Rikki replied.

 

"Oh, is that what you whipsnappers say these days?" I said aloud.

 

"Like a clique?" Marybella said, munching away on her salad.

 

 

"Exactly, and I can't wait to possibly one day work here for FARELLE. Luckily, I got chosen to work for the rest of the few months here before summer break."

 

 

She smiled really big, showing her pink gums and white teeth, which also showed the braces.

 

Everyone looked in surprise.

 

"Wow, I guess you smile alot." Marybella said.

 

 

"Marybella!" I whispered.

 

Marybella smiled, looking at Ruby.

 

"Oh, so you're a mean girl?" Ruby said happily.

 

She was not eating her sandwich from her brown sack lunch.

 

 

"No!! i'm not, but I can be sometimes. If you piss me off. But other than that, let me to introduce the crew." Marybella said smiling finally.

 

 

"This is Rikki, our good friend and the photographer from the Writer's department. I'm Marybella. I'm a model and ballerina. I don't work for FARELLE offciially, i'm just a celebrity working here to get the social media views and press up, since I am a world star in Manhattan and Russia."

 

Marybella flaunted her hair in excitement.

 

 

"Anyways, that's Elle, you've met her. She's the Writer and Editor of FARELLE magazine. Writer's department."

 

We all smiled at her politely.

 

"So now that i've met your group, can I ask...how old you guys are?" Ruby said.

 

 "No," I replied, low and shy.

 

"You can't say that! No one ever asks how old we are in this building." Rikki shot back, lowering her voice afterwards.

 

 

Rikki kicked Marybella under the table.

 

"Ow,"

 

"Why did you allow her to ask?" Rikki said to Bella.

 

"What, I didn't invite the question." Marybella said, pouting her lips.

 

"It's okay to ask Ruby, we're all 20." I said.

 

 

"Except me, I don't turn 20 till July." Marybella said, happily interuppting.

 

 

"Wow, i'm only 18 and yet you guys look old enough to work here forever." Ruby said smiling.

 

"Well thanks for the compliment." I said, before Rikki threw away her yogurt.

 

 

Just then, all the phones rang like crazy, especially Ruby's.

 

"Time to get back to work." I say.

 

 

We all stood up and walked out the door.

 

Ruby followed behind us.

 

 

She was gonna fit in just right, here.

 

Even if it's for a little time.

 

"Oh and Ruby, remind me later to tell you or before you leave where the intern Cafe is, because the cafe across from the writer and design building is for us workers. Not interns."

 

 

"IGreat. I'll see you whenever." she said, before heading off with the intern visit group.

 

 

 

We had a meet up after lunch that someone scheduled for us all.

 

We all met up near the photography area. 

 

Just then all the upcoming interns surrounded us making a secure circle.

 

 

"Uh, what's going on?" Marybella asks confused.

 

Most of the workers around us, worried too and panicked.

 

 

"Don't worry everyone, it's fine we'll all be out of here in no time." one intern said looking back at us.

 

"Why are you surrounding us?" I asked.

 

"Just like we we're told to." one said yelling wildly.

 

 

"Okay." Rikki said from behind me.

 

We all stood there for a really long time, wondering what's going on.

 

"Excuse me Lauren, Vanessa? Is this a new fire drill?" I say.

 

 

 

Vanessa and Lauren joined us in pure panic.

 

"I don't know, I got a call saying  to come to the photoshoot area." Vanessa added.

 

"We never practiced any fire drills." Lauren said.

 

"Something is going on, and someone's behind it." Vanessa said looking around.

 

 

 

After that big misunderstanding, I left back home and spent the afternoon thinking how that all happened.

 

And why did it particularly happened.

 

 

I thought, it had to be someone's plan.

 

 

I needed to have the meeting Lauren and Vanessa again, as promised.

 

And it'll be nice seeing Alex again.

 

I could really use her right now.

 

 

After callling and texting, we all met up at Vanessa's place.

 

Her house was a big 'Mansion' in Chelsea.

 

 

We all sat down at her kitchen table. 

 

"Okay, so how are we gonna catch Sara now, she's way too many steps ahead of us." Vanessa said.

 

"Well I think we lock her up." Lauren suggested.

 

"Well I think that we need to catch her doing something, that includes her coming after Elle." Alex suggested.

 

 

"How?" I asked.

 

"Watch this." Alex said.

 

 

A video of Sara came up and it showed the uncut part from last time, when I went to visit her that day. 

 

"Is this the missing part to that video?" I asked Alex.

 

"Yep and if we show this to the public, they'll know what Sara's trying to do to you and stop her once." Alex said.

 

 

"But how is she gonna prove herself 'not guilty' of this." Lauren asked concerned

 

"Don't need to worry, I have everything taken care of, and if it back fires. I have more proof." Alex said again

 

 

"You guys we got this, Sara's gonna be gone forever and no more stalking." I said looking up.

 

 

I felt happy and excited for once.

 

Lauren high fives me. "Yes, we've got her now. Let's hope this works."

 

 

Even if the memories of her being in my life were real, she's going to be nothing but fake crap rotting in jail.

 

 

After our meeting, we all left out separate ways home.

 

Feeling good about the thought of Sara finally being exposed.

 

 

And after all, this past year of alledgef stalking, it's gonna be on her records.

  

I have a good feeling that Sara's gonna be away from me, for a long time.

 

   

Chapter Sixteen: 300 The Rocks

 

 

After driving to work the next morning, I stopped by Sara's office and didn't see her there.

 

I looked in the coffee room and I spotted her.

 

 

"Today's the day Sara." I said silently to myself.

 

I walk over with a guise to her.

 

"Hello Sara!" I cheerfully yelled.

 

 

"Oh, hi Elle." Sara said, smiling my way.

 

 

"Come into the big room, someone has a surprise for you." I said smiling.

 

"Of course, lead the way." she replies.

 

 

She followed behind me.

 

When we got to the big room, Vanessa had called everyone to the middle of the photography area.

 

We stood there for a while, with Sara.

 

 

"Okay Sara, are you ready for the surprise?" I asked eargely.

 

"Hold on, let me put my coffee down first."

 

Sara put her cup down on the end of my reception desk.

 

 

"Okay, ready?" I say.

 

She stood still, standing and closed her eyes.

 

"Kyle. I think you should do this too." I silently said.

 

Kyle, was standing next to me.

 

 

"And.....open." I said.

 

The police had came in, and they surrounded her.

  

The video was ready on play on speaker.

 

 

Sara opened her eyes, and when she looked up, she saw hand cuffs on her wrists.

 

"Is this a mistake or a really awful surprise?" she said, looking confused.

 

 

"No. Just one big surprise." I say, crossing my arms.

 

 

Kyle looked at Sara, upset and confused.

 

"Sara? What's going on? I hought this was a surprise, not cops cuffing you up." 

 

Kyle sounded concerned and scared.

 

 

"Don't worry Kyle, the police will take good care of Sara." I replied.

 

"While she's locked up." Vanessa said, smiling.

 

"I have the video to prove it." Lauren said, from behind Vanessa.

 

 

Alex played the clip and everyone around the area, heared and watched as Alex explained the stalking to everyone.

 

Most gasped and sympathy was plagued in the room for me.

 

 

"We have the evidence and Kyle knows too now, isn't that good enough....oh wait it gets better." I said, playing the other clips.

 

 

Sara watched nervously not saying anything.

 

"You've been stalking me, since the day you started here. And it's crazy to think that you'd become my friend, a real co-worker that I can depend on. But you broke my trust, I
