Manny's POV cont...
“are you okay?” I asked giving her a hand. She held it and slowly got up from the ground and started cleaning herself.Great! she wasn’t hurt.“first of all, owww.Secondly you are practically the worst driver I’ve ever met.” She said.My brow furrowed. I didnt really get what she said at first but I soon did.I couldn’t help but smile. Wow. Why did that feel like a compliment? It was the way she said it I guess, her heavenly voice.“so sorry.” I said pulling out a handkerchief and stretched it to her. She snatched it wiping herself with it.The shorter girl came nearer.“master, my sister and I are having transportation issue... please help us.” She said. I stared at her and then back at the beauty in front of me.“Money or car issues.”“Sister issues actually. Let's go Liv.” She held the shorter girl's hand and brushed past me.“Wait!” I turned back staring at her. But she didn’t stop.“i would be happy to help...” And the shorter girl tried to stop her but she didn’t bulge “... Well if you want. Anyway be careful.”“you be careful.” She yelled back. I smiled watching her walk away.Okay is it normal that her school uniform fit her like a second skin? And her hair is long damn.I don’t know how my gaze fell on Dash who by the way I didn’t know came out of the car.His hands fixed in his pant pocket, he was staring at me.I smiled walking back to the driver’s side.“Manny I got this.” He said walking over and I walked over to the passengers front side.I don’t really blame him.And just like i thought would happen, I saw him look back, obviously he was staring at the girl.I smiled entering the car.She is just his type isn’t she?That attitude and... he once told me about having a thing for long haired girls... Sex messed up stuff.He got in the car and set the gear and started driving.There was a while of silence, but he broke it.“you know, are right.I’m envious of your being free as a bird to do whatever the fuck you want.”“Wow. Look who is being honest.”“Oh shut up Manny.”“I meant... We don’t get to see that everyday huh.” I said and a little silence followed again.“Hopefully, I won’t be a thorn in your flesh much longer.”He said with such a tune and just like that, silence took over.Completely.Rosario's POV It was the third week of resumption, we had a new student which was surprising.It's against the school rules but yet it happened. He must be a rich kid.His was introduced to the class as Dash... weird right. As in, ____ Dash dash, no surname.But I was probably the only one thinking about it.“He is so cute isn’t he?” Trish whispered. That's what every sane person should even notice anyway. “Very.” I muttered.Dash seemed to be looking through the whole class maybe distastefully but... His gaze fell on me and I swear, there was this look in his deep blue eyes.That made me gulped nothing down, I would say nervously.He took his eyes off me eventually.“You may have a seat.” The teach said and he walked to an empty desk in the middle role of the class.I sighed deeply opening my notebook.*You know, for two weeks Trish never stopped disturbing me about writing to kelvin which we never did.But today i noticed something totally different in her when we had that new guy, Dash.So, I’m removing maybe from her being wild and I’m adding a big yes to her being a flirt.She wouldn't stop hovering round him like she's some host of fallen angel. She is shameless. Or maybe I should be the one ashamed, cause what Trish is doing now is probably called being brave and shooting your shots before someone else does. And I would probably never get to know what that feels like.“I have absolutely no ‘romantic’ in my life and I’m okay with it.”That's why I should be ashamed, so basically i go about thinking the weirdness of everything and probably everyone bearing Dash _ without giving us a surname.Maybe I should pay a little more attention to my life. * “Dash isn’t here.” Trish said looking around the cafeteria while I ate my burger.“Mmn... Don’t you... Find it...”“Can you not do that thing where you talk with mouthful.” Trish cut me off at once. Wow. Is she pissed that he isnt here?Wow. Here I was thinking I had a friend already. Well...“Hi.” Someone stopped by our table with a tray of food.“Can I seat here.”“Of course.” I said. She placed her food in the table and sat on my bench.“I’m Laura.” She said.“Hi. Rosa.”“I know. You are quite popular in class especially in physics class” “Oh shoot... We are in same class?” I chuckled.“Tiss.” Trish scoffed looking around.“Wxup with her?” Laura whispered. I took my burger and had a bite.“Dash.” I muttered.“That weirdo cutie earlier?”“Oh God! I’m not alone in this.” I put down the burger relieved. She chuckled.“Only few rich kids still eat cafeteria food. He sure has a car and is probably off to an eatery or something by now.”That's right. I hardly see Kelvin in the cafeteria since this session. Just twice.He has a car now and can go out to eateries with his friends and girlfriends without even a thought about me.“He's made friends with that dummy Jack.” Laura said.“Who?” I asked.“Dash.”Oh! *Trish, Laura and I came back from lunch break, we saw Dash in class with Jack.Did they even go out at all. A couple of girls were behind them probably drooling over him, but I'm not sure he noticed. Trish halted us at the door and arranged her hair properly, before I knew it, she was pulling me into the class to meet him. "What are you doing Trish... stop!" i tried talking in a hush tune so Dash won't look up and see us.Shit! That'd be an embarrassment to my personality.It’ll be like I’m fangirling over him with he the rest of them."Oh come on." She scoffed loudly. The Dash guy raised his head and saw us.And I stopped walking abruptly."Oh come on." Trish scoffed loudly. The Dash guy raised his head and saw us.And I stopped walking abruptly.He took his eyes off us almost immediately but then, he looked up again but this time, his gaze rested behind us.Laura?? He stared at her for a while.And why the shit was he staring at me after? Do i have something on my face??"Hi Dash, I didn't get a chance to introduce myself earlier. I'm Trish and this is my friend Rosia Rooza... uh Rosario.”At least she realised she was calling my name wrongly.“... she's also a freshman like you." Trish said smiling like a fool.What! I ain't freshman. What was she saying?“Cool." Dash said taking his eyes off me... us.Trish blushed and faced me and with a whisper she said" did u hear that?"Weirdly, I could tell Dash's cool was meant for me though. Sort of.Not to flatter myself but the way he was staring."welcome to Iridium High." she said stretching her hand forward. He didn't even look up again. He kept operating his phone.Sh
Rosario's POV cont...“Goodbye Dash.” Trish said seductively but he wasn’t even staring at her."bye Roza" she said getting down from the car.damn... I didn't realise I was twisting my fingers the whole moment.I was feeling embarrassed... for her. But again, maybe I should start paying a little more attention to my own life.Like right there, she just left me alone with him, a stranger. Probably her new boyfriend or so. Her new hot boyfriend who doesn’t treat her nice. Lol.Ok, long story short, I was feeling somewhat tensed. That explains my whole stupid thoughts.“come sit at the front.” He said after she got down. My brow furrowed.Was he talking to me? That sounded kind of commanding. Hmn.But he was right. sitting at the back will make it seem like he is my driver. lol.I came down from the back seat and walked to the front getting in.he continued the drive in silence making things more awkward or... I don't know.But Trish is so unbelievable!No! what I shouldn't believe is w
Rosario's POV cont... It was Friday and I got to school pretty late, earning me detention from 12pm(Friday closing time) till 5 in the evening.I came to class and met our sex education teacher already teaching, lighting my bad mood a little.I always looked forward to Fridays because his teachings are always whack and funny."good morning sir" i greeted the teacher as I entered the class."Rosa you are late..." He said like I forgot. I bit my lower lip waiting in front of the class. probably for what he had to say about my lateness.“List three ways to prevent pregnancy.” He said. Hmn?I looked at the class. Okay, I looked at Dash, he was staring at me.oh! I’m ruined.“Uh... Condom.""yes?""Contraceptive""and..." he raised a brow. "...and, and not abortion!” I said jokingly and a slight laugh ran across the class briefly. honestly, I couldn't think of a third.“Hmnp!” the teacher stared at me nodding negatively."go have your seat" he said nonetheless.I walked to my seat, Laura
•••••••••••••Rosario's POV cont…••••••••••••••“oh yes! Yess yesss yessss fuuuuck.”I buried my face on my bed and took a pillow and placed it over my head.Curse Kelvin!I was busy trying to think of a way to go out to that Dash party.What to tell mum that will make her allow me go. Or If I should bribe the devil himself and sneak out which wouldn't really end well for me if mum ends up coming back earlier than me in the morning.And.. and it was like Kelvin was ringing a bell in my head so I couldn't think.And the pillow probably was helping only to suffocate me rather than shutting out the nonsense.My door suddenly opened and I removed the pillow from my head to see who it was. Who else could it be?“Olivia.”“Rosa… Kelvin is having sex and I cannot sleep.” She complained. I scowled at her.12 year old pronouncing sex like it’s nothing. When I was her age I was…Well who cares!She walked inside my room closing the door after her“The girl just keeps screaming.” She said.Oops
Manny's POV cont…“I’m so cold.”“Don’t bother me Olivia.”“I’m cold Rosa! I thought you are supposed to take care of me!” She whined pained."Oh ha ha!" She faked a chuckle.“Fuck you and mum.” Rosa retorted miserably. Lol.“It’s already enough that you and mum…” she started taking off her jacket.“You guys keep making my life a living hell.”She placed the jacket on Olivia's shoulder looking around. The party hasn’t started.Dash said he is waiting for someone to come before starting. I wonder if it's she?Insane, Lol.I smiled taking off my jacket and I walked closer and placed it on her shoulder.She froze and turned back immediately.She looked pretty surprised to see me.“So your name is Rosa then?”“You again?”I smiled spreading my arms apart.“You can say that again. But it’s Manny, in case of future reference.”She scoffed with a look of disbelief.“What are you doing here?”“I should ask you that? This is my house.” I smirked. “So you stalking me?”“What? Your house?But I…
Manny's POV“Anyway… I know a way you won’t be hungover tomorrow.”“Hangover...”“Yes… it’s a bad feeling should I say, mostly novice like you go through after being drunk.Trust me, you don’t…”“Eh! I know what a hangover is.” She cut me off. I sighed and ran my fingers in my hair.“Well, well, well.You just said you are lonely and me…” I walked closer to the counter.“I’d do anything to leave this place.I feel like a highschool tour guide once again… so how about you be my wing woman for tonight.Hey… wanna get out of here.”She stared at me silently for a while and when I thought she was gonna say yes.“I’m not going anywhere with you.”Just then, I saw a swam of guys out the door.My brow furrowed. What? There was more???Rosa turned back to check what I was looking at and she gasped.“What?” I asked.“What is that? What is… shoot!” She turned at once and faced the counter.“Seniors?”“what seniors? Ain’t Dash a senior?”She rolled her eyes at me.“Yes, but there is also 12 gra
Manny POV cont…“what you said back there was it true?”“What’d I say?” Dash asked lying on his bed.“About that girl?” I asked. He stared at me grossly making me feel a little better… weirdly.“… how can you be so annoying?I already said I like her, can we not talk about it again.”“wow.Like… that ain’t something we hear from you everydaySo what do you plan to do with her since you’ll be leaving soon?”He didn’t reply, he started operating his phone.“Huh?Answer me?Or is that 'like' gonna end up as one of your fling things or what?”He didn’t reply.“why did you suddenly go back to high school. It’s time you quit telling me it’s cause you’re ‘bored!’Is it because you like her the first day you saw her? You wanted to be close to her that you had to go back to school… not minding revealing your identity?Her school, her grade dude! Exactly the same time we bumped into her.Tell me the truth!”“Its not it…” he paused.I smirked. “Of course.”“Manny I want to be alone.”“if not h
Laura POV“What was that for?” Dash asked grabbing my arm.“What?” I whined taking my hand off his. We were in a secluded spot of the school.“Why did you set Rosario and I up?I looked stupid!... Wha…” he sighed moving away from me slightly. “What were you thinking and how did…” he chuckled angrily. “ How did her note appear on the stairs?”“Well…” I shrugged. “I heard your conversation with Manny on Friday night.You like her.” I said. He was silent for quite a while, not saying anything.Then he faced me and walked closer.“What I like have never mattered anyway.” He said.“Enjoy it while it lasts now duuh!” I said.There was another while of silence then he said something surprising.“Rosario is smart.” He said. My brow furrowed. Uhh… ion get?“That’s why I’m keeping my distance.I even met her before coming to the school, I talked to her on my first day cause I liked her,” He said. My brow furrowed.Dashed sometimes I think you don’t know what you’re doing… but you do.I stared
