Something Off About Him

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 was there and she smiled at me.

“bitch move girl.” She said.

"I didn't do it on purpose." I chuckled lightly.

I sat by the edge and stared back at Dash.

Great! He was staring at me but he looked away the moment our eyes locked.

He still hasn't returned my physics note since he it borrowed on Monday. or is he waiting for me to come ask him myself?

we haven't even talked since on monday.

Dude's got weird staring problems.

Between the week, I’ve caught him staring at me quite a lot of times that I lost count.

And if he wants to, he'd keep staring at me even when I’m staring back.

See! Weird staring problem!

“... and that is how the woman died.

So don’t have sex until marriage, because you will get pregnant and you will die!” The teacher said taking a long breath from all the stories he's told.

Okay is that supposed to install fear in us? Sorry, he's gonna need a lot more than a made up story.

“Will the guys also get pregnant and die?” Laura asked. The man just stared at her.

“But I know my teachings will do no good to those who doesn’t want to be saved.

Virtually all of you in this class... So...” he took his bag and started passing condoms from one seat to another.

“Make sure to use protection when having sex, protect yourself from stds and unwanted pregnancies and... death!” The way he kept putting emphases on death. Hmn. funny.

“Can I have 5 please.” Trish said when it got to her turn.

She took 5 and stared back to Dash.

"Hmn." Laura sighed.

*

French class.

He never makes any attempts to answer questions.

but when the class is stuck without knowing the right answer, he's always there to save the day.

in order words... Dash is stylishly a show off and intelligent.

“Hey.” Laura tapped me. “I feel sorry for Trish. Dash looks like a heart breaker and she seems into him.”

Ok. I’ve had enough of Laura.

She is attracted to him, got it!

she should just come out and say it, and stop telling me these things.

Almost Immediately lunch bell was heard, I got up from my seat and walked to the class exit without waiting for anyone... Or Laura.

I was going to the cafeteria to eat lunch... alone.

"What eatery are we going today..." I heard Trish's voice as I exited.

She hasn’t been eating at the cafeteria after that day Dash dropped us off.

She's been hanging out with him and Jack since then.

anyway now, I’m pretty sure they ain’t dating.

you see over the week, with what I've seen, I have every reason to believe that he is being bothered by her.

she is forcing herself to be accepted... in a pretty childish way too.

“There is a party at Dash's Mansion tonight” Jack said to someone who asked him something, as he place an invite on his table.

He wasn’t the only one, they were other students also sharing invites.

While dash was just sitting like the boss of them.

Hmn.

“You have to come with the card else you won’t be allowed in.” Jack said to the guy and moved to another table.

Funny how people get easily attraction to wealth, like iron to magnets.

He already has so much friends and followers in a just a week here.

And I don’t have any real friend, I’ve been in this school since grade 6-11

And who the fuck is just a week old in a school and throws a party, inviting his whole class.

Hmn.

I stared at the invite in hand. Hmn.

Okay! I really need to stop thinking the weirdness of everything now!

*

Trish wasn't in class and same with Dash... It was near closing hours.

Second time it was happening this week.

‘Good thing that doesn’t seem suspicious.’ My sub conscious.

“Oh please, he acts like she is nothing to him, there is no way they are dating.

But...”

‘Well they could be fucking.’ my subconscious again.

“Where? in the school's bathroom? restroom?

Lol! Dash is a rich kid and wouldn’t do such shitty things.

Fucking in a bathroom, or at the back of the school.

Lol.”

‘Then what other explanations is there as to why the both of them got missing before school close, the second time in this week.’

I nodded negatively.

Am I really doing that thing right now, where I argue with my subconscious on what doesn’t even concern me?

"Whatever, even Laura isn’t here too.

So anyone can get missing before school close."

*

The moment the last bell was heard, I got up with my back pack, and I left class.

I was contemplating going for my detention or... escaping.

And then... the consequences for escaping.

I hadn't made my mind up yet, and not wanting to be spotted by prefects going to apprehend detentionees, I went to my locker.

I opened my locker and dipped my bag, then keeping myself busy with one or two.

Then I made up my mind to go for the detention. I'll just call mum with the school's line to inform her.

Anyway there really isn't nothing I'd be doing if I go home.

I'd only come back on Monday to face probably a week detention as more punishment.

oh damn it!

I fucking gate detentions! no one can ever understand!

but I couldn't risk more punishment on Monday.

I locked my locker and leaned on it as students rushed out to the exit.

And I accidentally saw Dash way in front... opposite locker with mine.

A girl was by the locker and he was in front of her, his back to me.

Though, I couldn’t see her face, but her hair wasn’t blonde like Trish's. It was black.

It wasn’t Trish.

I stared at them through out, till she left the locker side and walked to his back making him turn.

Oh shoot! It was Laura!

I said it! she is like the rest of those them girls!

But he suddenly roughened her hair and she she smiled.

"don't do that." he said.

Then a guy walked over to them from no where.

She gave Dash a pretty quick hug.

And it seemed like Dash wanted to talk to the guy, the look on his face said quite a lot.

but the guy just held Laura's hand and started moving, Dash turned sideway, staring at them.

Laura waved and faced her front and continued walking with the guy.

Okay, what was that about?Is she related to Dash?

They just fucking looked like they know each other a long time. so they pretend in class!

what?

I didn’t really see the face of the other guy, but he must have been the brother she always talked about. The one in kelvin’s grade.

Then I remembered on Dash's first day at school, the way he stared at Laura.

Oh shoot!

And then she saying things about him being the new cutie and being weird.

Him being friends with a dummy Jack.

And she feels sorry for Trish cause she thinks Dash is a heart breaker.

Dash is probably a heart breaker and maybe she was just trying to warn me indirectly. Cause if she does it directly, I’d know that she knows him.

But why are they hiding whatever their relationship seems to be?

There is something about that Dash guy.
