Yale University, is my target. I am going to get accepted by the end of this year and I know it. This what I wanted ever since I started Hill Regional Career High School. I am a senior now,  I applied to Yale, hoping for a scholarship. But who knows if my distinguished honor roll and perfect attendance is good enough. My family and I are too poor to afford the tuition, that’s $45,800 a year! My father makes good money working as Mr.Getty right hand, as his assistant. My father has been working for him as long as I lived. Mr. Getty gave us hospitality at his house ever since. My mother also works here, she’s the cook of the house. As you can tell, I’m the only daughter. And same goes to Ruth Getty, she’s my bestfriend. We were not raise together because of our social class, but we became really close friends as we grew up. Mr.Getty expect so much from Ruth, I tutor her as much as I can and help her with school work. Ruth may go to a distinguished private high school but we learn the same thing. Ruth may not know it, but she’s blessed to have money. She will never have to worry about what college she’s going to because the money is not a problem. Plus she has no choice but to go to Yale. The Getty family all attended there.
  I want to be a lawyer, just like Mr.Getty. He insisted to Ruth for the same career path but she is not interested, but it does not matter what she wants. It’s what he wants.

Ruth gets annoyed because I respect and cherish them a lot, I have so much because of the generosity of Mr. Getty and his family.

It was quite obvious why she was considered the prettiest girl in the school. Her long brown hair hung down over her shoulders. With hazel eyes than can attract, and smile that would brighten anybody’s day.

Ruth has many charming guys after her but she’s too focused on herself to care. Nobody wants Margaret, it’s all about money here. I was to polite and respectful to be talked to.  People knew me as a generous and kind-hearted person. I often thought that people would take advantage of my kindness. This was going to change. My dearly parents, need urgent help, what I needed to do from the start was not let people walk over. I have to take care of my parents like they took care of me. It’s my turn now and graduating Yale was a must. I am willing to do anything to get here.

After waiting patiently, my letter came in. I was accepted to Yale University! My body was full of emotions. I could feel my adrenaline rush increasing. It wasn't till this day that felt that my life was going to chance. Once my hands were on this letter, I rushed to Ruth’s house, we live in the same house but I lived towards the back of the yard in a small little house where all the employees live.

“Ruth! did you get your letter? I got mines and I got accepted!” As I blurted out in    excitement.

“ Yes I did. I’m psyched that we're going to together, but you know exactly that my father is forcing me to be something that I don’t want to do.” Weeping as Ruth speaks.

“It’s okay, because you know what? We are going to be in college together and it's going to be unforgettable.”
  It’s our first week, and there's already a big party taking place. We are also taking pre tests, and these pretest are really important. This will determine what classes we will be put in. The best thing to do is stay home and study. But Ruth has other plans, she met this guy named Kenneth Vanderbilt. According to her that the dream guy. The Vanderbilt family is one of rich’s family around. Ruth and I do not know a lot of people here yet, so going to this party would be a good idea.  It would be best for her, and for me, to hear new voices. My whole high school years I never dated or talked to anybody. My main focus will always be to get my education, after that I’ll settle down and find someone. But till then, graduating is all I’m worried about. Even though I would like some friends, so for that reason I will be going with Ruth.

It’s a costume party, “Ruth, what are you going to wear”
“We should be witches.” Ruth responded
“That’s a really common costum, think about something else?”
With her sweet and calm voice Ruth said “Margaret, you never agree with what I have to say, why don’t I be a witch and you decide to wear whatever you wish, does that sound fair.”
“I actually agree with you this time, I’m going to be an angel.”

  I never go out, but I am old enough to. My parents wished me luck and hope I enjoy myself. Ruth’s chauffeur drove us to the house party. It was a pretty big sorority house, but the amount of people there made the house seem small. Ruth and I were dressed pretty decent. All the other girls, showed very little clothing, to get the guys attention obviously. Alcohol was being served, I am 18 not old enough to drink. That was not a problem, I was not planning on drinking. But this guy Kenneth, there's something about him that I don’t like. I never talked to this dude Kenneth but he was already drinking, and was trying to get Ruth to drink. Once I seen that I stopped it immediately. Ruth only wanted to do it to please Kenneth. Kenneth saw my how irritated I was and offered me a drink. It was not an alcoholic beverage, so I accepted it. You might ask, how did I know that it was not an alcoholic beverage? My parents use to drink a lot. I remember when I was younger the smell of vomit, and that one time that I tasted it. I was about 8 years old, the taste in my mouth reflected a burning, unpleasant, mildly bitter feeling. Due to the toxics that are blended with the drink my body rejected it immediately. I got so sick, that my parents needs to take me to the emergency room. Ever since that day, my parents have been sober, and I have not seen an alcoholic drink in a long time.

  As time went by, it's already midnight. I started to feel sick. Maybe it was something I ate, but whatever it was it was making me feel nauseas. I could also feel my breath getting shorter. “Ruth let's go home, I don't feel good.” As I cried to her.

“What's wrong Margaret? You don't look so good, look at your skin it's as white as powdered sugar. Just wait one more hour, I'm having lots of fun with Kenneth. He's such a sweetheart!” Screamed Ruth with excitement.
“I'm leaving with you or without you.”

I'm so angry that Ruth decided to stay, I don't even know if I can make it home by myself while feeling like this. I called for a taxi, but what taxi is going to come quick at 2 in the morning. Patiently, waiting. All of a sudden I started to feel dizzy, next thing you know it I dropped to the floor like a rag doll. 

That's all I know about what happened that night, from what people told me. Ruth was not there to catch me fall, Ruth did not take me home. Because when I woke up I was in a valley covered in dirt with most of my clothing off. Everyone was talking about what happened that night. There’s a video that all over twitter and youtube. It has over 2,834 views and increasing by the minute.

I don't know what to do. I haven't even told my parents and I’m not planning on doing it, they are going to be very disappointed. I can not count on Ruth any more. Her decision of not coming with me turned out to be a big mistake. Ruth and I haven’t even talked about it. From what I heard, she thinks I slept with Kenneth. But It was not like that at all, he put something on my drink, he drugged me.  I am 100% sure Kenneth raped me. How can I prove that?

  Trying to succeed can lead to a failure. Someone took advantage of me considering I was vulnerable. People's wealth is more powerful than anything. Going against the Vanderbilt was going to end in tragedy. I can't live , knowing there’s nothing I can do. But now that I think about it, I can continue to be in law school and one day go against Kenneth Vanderbilt.
