Chapter 2: What The Hell

Rose's Pov:

As we speed down the street my thoughts kept returning to Jace 'Why couldn't he just leave me alone, I'll admit one of the days I thought I could handle him being a mafia leader but he just got worse and worse his temper would rise to great heights and I couldn't deal with it I wanted an escape and he's given me that but why still contact my mother for, the thought puzzled me.

"Rose watch out!" I heard Richelle yell out

I gasped getting back on the right side of the road nearly getting hit by a truck, both girls looked at me in worry, and I shook my head as if waking out of a daze focusing on the road again.

While we saw the school in our view Janelle calls out "Rose are you sure your okay that was a pretty close call hun"

"I'm fine my thoughts have been drifting is all" I stated

"Well drift your thoughts off the road Rose" Richelle said

I sigh just being on my bike riding as fast as I can it reminded me of the days with Jace and our laughs but old memories die, I've got to stop thinking about him.

We all pull into the school as we swung our legs off our bikes and strutted towards the front of the front gates, Janelle is looking across the parking lot as she nudges me I follow her direction I look across the parking lot to see a young girl getting bullied by a group of boys I hated being a bystander so you know what I did... I walk towards the group of guys crowding this young shy girl as I grab one of the guy's jackets and yanked him back.

Twisting him around and kneeing him where the sun doesn't shine he fell to the ground "What the actual fuck" he groaned in pain

"If I ever see any of you bullying her again you won't want to know what I do next, you won't know the level of pain I'll induce" I replied with a sinister tone to my voice.

I gesture to the girl to leave as I punched him in the jaw as a finisher while he fell to the ground, The young girl looked horrified and went running off back towards the school as I walk back over to the girls Janelle and Richelle looked at me knowing something was off.

I could tell they were keeping their mouths shut anything could set me off at this point, I think about high school to be quite honest I've noticed ever since I attended this retched school bullying takes place maybe it's because of the age group, or the social environment having to live up to peoples standards on how you look and act.

I preferred the homeschooling I got for three months, I had friends a lot of them but one wrong move from the wrong guy in this fucked up school changed me don't ask me how but it hurt and it hurt a lot, I got warned by my big brother and my father but I was too oblivious to love-struck If that's what you want to call it...naive my first time being in love well it didn't turn out as good as I thought.

I turn my head towards a revving car pulling in smoothly near my bike, I watched with my arms folded as this mysterious guy got out of his convertible 'So this must be the guy everyone is fawning over' I thought I'll admit he is something to look at I stated while making my perving known.

The first words Richelle and Janelle said in sync were "damn" I laughed at their hormones, not before he turned his attention towards me with that infamous smirk that could make a girls knee's wobble at the sight but not me I'm not one to fall for that he looked me up and down as If I was his prey to be conquered.

My mood dropped even lower than before as I see the all-high in mighty Victoria with her nose in the air trying to act superior to all the students the girl makes me sick to my core. She's followed by her two minions Maria and Sarah strutting behind her as they walk towards this guy who has acted mysteriously.

I watch in amusement shaking my head as she runs her finger down his chest 'Ew' I thought trying not to laugh but finding it near impossible as her skirt is riled up not even covering up her ass where's her bloody modesty for god's sake.

"Hey there sexy I was wondering if I could show you the ropes around school and introduce you to everyone then we could do something later if you know what I mean" She stated eyeing him like she had staked her claim making other girls look away at the revolting sight.

"Skank" I cough under my breath while Richelle and Janelle smile and nod in agreement, she smirks as I couldn't hold it in anymore I laughed watching her try hard she looked so ridiculous.

Her attention immediately snaps towards me "What are you laughing at bitch" I looked at her in pity god she must have chlamydia by now she slept with the whole football team as far as I'm aware she's probably slept with others.

"Victoria, Victoria" I tisked, She grinds her teeth in annoyance at the continuous sarcasm that laced my voice always when it came to her.

"At least I can get guys like your boyfriend who was willing to take me into his room where you slept and had sex with me" I rolled my eyes disappointed in her failure the statement pissed me off, of course, it did I wanted to rip her hair out and rearrange her face, rip out her jugular and watch her struggle in pain but my sarcasm pisses her off more and I wasn't going to let her see her getting to me.

"Oh that's right your just as bad as him cheating on your boyfriend, you know what I'm going to give you a piece of advice sweetheart If you're going to cheat you probably shouldn't be in a relationship grow up and treat people like people instead of tools in your selfish ego workshop" I stated

She turned her nose up at me like the high and mighty person she thinks she is " You think I'm going take your advice, honey, I can get any guy I want obviously you can't" She replied while the guy I had noticed before was watching our interaction with each other amused sending me a smile that made me want to grin at him.

I put my hand over my heart while laughing sarcastically "You wound me Victoria but I wanted to know did it hurt when you fell down the whore tree and banged every guy on the way down" I smiled innocently and was waiting for a reply but she ignored me probably knowing I was right I always hit it where it hurt her reputation for sleeping around.

She turned back to him, "So about my offer" she winked still gliding her finger down his chest

He pulled himself off his car "Sorry but I have to go meet my stepmother and step-sister tonight so it's going to be a no" She looked down in disappointment as I thought she was going to be so heartbroken with a happy smile on my face it was short-lived.

He just had to say " But I didn't say we couldn't do anything after dinner" He raised his eyebrows at her" He replied making me feel sick and there you have it folks Victoria has met her perfect match.

"Okay see you then" As she was about to strut away like the bitch she is, for a final movement proving that he is a playboy he grabbed her by the waist and he smashed his lips against her's making me cringe in absolute disgust I think I just vomited in my mouth.

They were making out on his car and I felt the need to hurl at the sight until she pushed off winking at him while bumping my shoulder and walking through the double doors with a satisfied smirk.

"Eww what the hell he's going to catch an STD then he won't be hot anymore," Janelle said sighing in dramatic disappointment I stifled a laugh as he walked past me and winked while walking into the school.

"He's so repulsive like can he keep his dick in his pants there a match made in heaven for sure" I commented while I shuddered in disgust

Richelle raised her eyebrows "I guess not"

As the bell rang the girls and I walked to our lockers as a text popped up on my phone from my big brother telling me he was planning to come down with his girlfriend soon.

I bumped into a large wall but as soon as I gazed up I saw the infamous mysterious guy or for short playboy he smirks "Already falling for me petals?" he asks

I turned my head in confusion at that comment as I lifted myself from the ground I reply in confusion "Petals?"

He smirks once again "I found out your name was Rose such a pretty name for a sexy girl" he analyzes my body while he says this making me want to throw something at his egotistical head.

Before I knew it the halls were empty it's probably because I was so focused on him like who wouldn't be he had this aura about him that demanded dominance and attention.

I looked up at him in absolute disgust "Excuse me but I have a class to attend I don't hover around playboys period" I stated

He moved closer and closer to me I backed up but soon I hit the lockers, how cliche is this for crying out loud just exit Rose what are you waiting for I thought to myself.

He puts his arms on either side of my head "You know you have quite the attitude" he says biting his lip and eyeing me up and down like I'm his dinner.

I replied with sass "So? I can have an attitude if I please"

He comes closer impossible for me to move making me glare up at him he reminded me so much of my ex it made me sick to the stomach, I swallowed wanting to see what his move was next.

"Well Petals.." he says dragging his hand from my thigh to under my shirt on the side of my hip as he continued with a whisper "I like a good challenge" he rubs small circles on my skin causing me to shiver.

He brings his head slowly down as his lips press mine 'Holy hell he can kiss' I start kissing him back then realize what I'm doing 'This is wrong I barely know him at all' I push him off forcefully.

"How dare you place your lips on mine who do you think you are?!" I exclaimed at his influence on my body I was not used to this ever since Jace It annoyed me.

He laughed a little and replied "It's not like you were objecting at first, but you have to admit you can't object to this" he replied to his body.

My mouth hung agape 'This boy!' I thought

"Go feed someone else your ego elsewhere..." I try and get past him as he blocked my way I grind my teeth in annoyance.

"What?" I spat he didn't answer me 

"There is something called personal space which you are invading" I stated annoyed

He grinned at me and leaned too close for my liking "It looks like you're going to be my next challenge and my next conquer" he replied walking off.

I shook my head and say out loud to myself "What were you thinking Rose imagine what my father would think".

As I walk back to my classroom and enter, He is sitting in my spot! I walk over to him "Get out of my spot" I reply with my fists clenched because I had enough of this guy's shit even after a few comments and a kiss that was made near the lockers leaving me completely flustered and embarrassed.

He gives me that smirk again "I don't see your name on it petals" he replied in a sarcasm

"Get out of my seat or you will be lying in a pool of your own blood" I spat smiling but with the look of 'don't fuck with me'.

"Feisty I like it" he replied looking at me from head to toe like I'm something to eat

My teacher walks through the door he raises his eyebrows "Miss Bashay what are you doing go and sit in a seat" He says I sigh out loud

I didn't want to complain because I didn't want to act immature and give him what he wanted so I gave him the biggest death glare I could muster and walked away just before he slapped my ass.

I turned around, 'THAT'S IT!' and swung my fist, it colliding with the left side of his face making the back of his seat fall and him with it the class gasped in shock and some of the guys laughed at him.

"Miss Bashay!" my professor said angered at my temper

"Rose Bashay how dare you go throwing your fists around when you see fit detention after school now get up and go to the front office and get him an icepack...NOW" he sat up with a busted lip and gave me a raised eyebrow finding it amusing while touching his bleeding lip.

I'm lucky Reece taught me some moves because this guy fucking deserved it what a wanker, I walked down the hall trying to calm down but it ended up failing I kicked the wall in frustration "Fucking hell!!!! that rude, ignorant, sarcastic, dick face, repulsive UGH!!!!!" I yelled to myself in the hallway looking like a crazy person.

I walk into the office and spoke to the office lady named Faith" I need an ice pack"

The office lady looked up and shook her head "Again I'm guessing?" she asked

I grinned nodding she smiled back 'She is the only authority figure in this school who's my favorite she comes back with an icepack "You're going to get expelled one-day suspension doesn't even stop you" She said chuckling

I shrug my shoulders "The school would be less interesting with me not being around". As I walk back towards the classroom while mumbling profanities about this guy, I clench my jaw and slam it on his desk 'Why does he have to be so hot why couldn't he just be ugly It would make it so much easier to despise him'.

As I walked to my seat plonking myself down now in an aggravated mood and wanting to text my mother to pick me up I placed my head down tired as hell I then heard the pattering of feet and two legs in front of my table I raise my head the teacher came with his hand out

"Oh it's you, what are you looking at?" I asked annoyed

"Your assignment where is it.. oh no wait I know the answer to that you didn't do it or your dog ate your homework" he replies crossing his arms in disappointment.

"So what's your excuse this time hm" He stated

I sigh in frustration, I did do my assignment I opened my bag and handed him my portfolio raising my brows "Have some faith in me for once, there it is happy?" I state in sarcasm

He furrows his eyebrows not liking my attitude,  I then say back to him with a sigh "Look I'm sorry professor today isn't a good day for me", I stated looking off to the side

"It's that day?" he replied with a look I couldn't decipher

I nod with a sad look on my face "You still have detention today but I'll let you off on it early If you behave for once" he said walking down the aisle my face holding a look of surprise.

My eyes start to droop I didn't get any sleep last night I was up finishing that portfolio last minute while yawning laying my head back down on the table.

"Okay class turn to page three hundred and fifty-two," he says turning back to the board

While my head is resting on the table I look out towards the window thinking I saw a flash, maybe It's just my imagination I thought

'My mind is overwhelmed school sucks the life out of me, especially on this day I thought

Ryder's Pov:

So far petals has made my first day in this high school probably the most interesting I've ever had, she has this darkness about her that's untamed and it appeals to my own darkness within me what are your secrets I thought I look back at her a sad look on her face while I whispered only for me to hear "What are your demons".
