"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.Shit! That was embarrassing. I gently walked to my seat leaving Trish to wallow in the pending embarrassment alone.Laura walked to my seat and sat with me.Okay Uh ???*Classes continued*“turn!” “turn!” a voice in my head urged. Damn! "Look at that face again."Okay!!!
I leaned on the wall and stylishly looked behind at Dash and damn!!He was staring at me!I immediately faced my front. Wtf! That was embarrassing.That was not the end of it, I still stole glances at him especially when the teacher throws questions to the back.I’ll pretend to face backwards to stare... Weird me.But Dash is really handsome. I’d admit. * I don't know how it happened but before school closed, Trish started having conversations with Dash and she kept switching seats and they seemed to be getting along real well.“He seems to get along with dumb heads quite well?” Laura whispered.Okay, she seems to care about this new student too quite unusually.
She've only spoke bad about him since we met.Maybe that's her way of showing her own attraction.* After school closed, Trish was no where to be found... Same with Dash.But Jack, the dumb head was still in class.So where did they go together?*Trish and i do board cab home together, so I had to look for her. once last week, kelvin drove us in his car. But Trish didn't tell him of her feelings though.She just flirted. And that was gonna be the first and last time, I’d be getting in his car.I promised myself to always do cab, cause kelvin almost got us killed by his speed, but Trish thought it cool.Hmm. You're missing a point!
Kelvin finally allowed me to enter his car, he probably did it to impress Trish. * i shrugged my way through the crowd in the school's exit... and finally I got out.Just when i was about to start leaving, i heard someone call my name that familiar voice. i turned around only to see Trish in a distance waving lightly at me and giving me signs to come to her. she was with... Holy crap! She was with the Dash guy, clinging to his side like they were couples.It kinda reminded me of Olivia and that was very unpleasing. But she didn’t touch him though, just got as close as she could be. Of course I’d notice every tiny little detail. Weird me.They were beside a red spo... Car.
I don’t really care about cars. Kelvin would be able to tell what kinda car that was.But how did she get so close to him like that? Or... Could it be that they went somewhere to have sex earlier when they got missing? Because that's the only explanation for this.I knew it! Trish's wild. i sluggishly dragged myself towards them.Seems we'd be getting a ride in a cool car today all thanks to Trish frivolity.As I walked towards them, I noticed Dash was uncomfortable with her being so clingy.I know cause it showed in his disgusted facial expression.His hands remained tucked in his pant pocket nonetheless as he leaned on his... sweet car.And I just knew it, if I already didn’t know, there was something majestic about this guy.
"Hi" i said to only Dash as I halted before them.I mean Trish and I are friends no need for too much pleasantries.
“Hey.”Oh heavens! His voice!
Well, it's like previously anyway. Something like a whisper yet firm.Fine!
It was somewhat different from when he said ‘cool’ earlier.Wow.And this dude's got the Michael Jackson... "Done drooling?" Trish's voice snapped me out of my thoughts... which... which were stupid by the way.I opened my mouth to say something but what she said re-echoed in my head and I stayed shut.
Hold on, did she just say i was drooling?How dare she try to embarrass me? I gave her a hard stare which she barely met. "Dash agreed to ride us. So you won’t be doing cab today." she said with a sly smile. Oh wait! Wtf!I was silent for a while before nodding negatively."I'll just ride with kelvin instead" i said and turned to gio. I felt angry.
I mean saying it out loud that I do cab in front of a guy with such car. She was trying to shame me!!Totally!!Ok, when did I even start caring about these things anyway? Whatever.
But really though, she was trying to humiliate me on purpose. Clearly!
“Rosa come on, ride with us.” She activated her playful voice of a week ago making me halt. I thought she was my friend.“Come on, don’t be shy.” She said going round to the front passenger side of the car.
She got in."Come on." I heard his calm voice.
I turned as he opened the back door. I stared at him pretty closely than before.His eyes, they were... Beautiful.He just walked past me leaving the back car door open.
"Mmn.” I cleared my throat. “Thanks." i mouthed getting in.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
Rosario's POVI came down the front passenger seat of Mark's car.He walked to my side and held my hand.I took in a deep breath looking at the mighty Provetin II Suits.The owner of this hotel is not even as good as the floor we walk on.That name… Provetin. Comes with different feelings Pain, betrayal and deceit from all sides of the country. But his bad name doesn’t affect his business anyway.“Let's go in.” He said I hesitantly nodded and we started going in.“You didn’t really have to pick me up, I could just come meet you here “ I muttered.“Don’t worry about it.” He said.I sighed half embarrassed. At my age, walking in to a hotel with a dude.It’s nothing bad… just haven’t done it before.It would have been better if I had come here to meet him.Oh cut it out Rosa… it’s just a dinner date! Nothing more!People should think whatever they want!!!He suddenly pulled me close and held my waist while we were walking making me freeze.What? I thought holding my hand was bad enoug
