Rose

I started to rummage through my closet in search of an outfit still wearing a robe after getting out of the shower. I had decided to take advantage of Sunday and sleep late, forgetting that I had arranged to go out with Liam and the others.

I removed the robe, turning sideways in front of the mirror to apply the healing ointment to the tattoo before placing a new clear bandage over it. I spread the ointment gently over the skin, resisting the temptation to scratch the area, admiring the delicate sunflower design surrounded by two daisies, forming a small bouquet.

" He's annoying but he has good taste," I outlined the small design with the tip of my finger.

I placed the bandage carefully, smiling as I remembered everything that had happened yesterday, from that disastrous party to the moment when I was one step away from kissing Christian. I certainly would have if that nagging pain hadn't started up again at that moment.

Christian Davis had aroused a mixture of emotions in me

    RoseWe settled down at the table, and it was not long before a young waiter approached." Van Derr Waal, same as always?” " Just two beers this time, and cranberry juice for the girls," he decided. " Is he old enough to drink? " The waiter looked suspiciously at Theo. " And who says it's for him? I'll drink them both," Liam assured him. That was the most ridiculous excuse I had ever heard, but it seemed to have convinced the waiter, who took our orders and walked away after handing us the menu. " Are you going to drink both? " I sneered. " I could order three if you hadn't gotten a tattoo," he winked at me. " And Sky?” " I don't drink," she explained. " She thinks alcohol is Satan in its liquid form," Liam teased his friend, who was happy to ignore him. Once again I found myself wondering how it was possible for those two not to be a couple. And from the exasperated expression on Theo's face, he thought the same. " I could say that I was surprised by Alicia's attitude, but

    RoseWe got back to campus about eight o'clock at night and the setting sun was painting the sky in countless shades of orange." You are her cousin, and she pretended not to know you," Sky muttered in disbelief.We were walking through the parking lot back to the villa, remembering how Allie had simply ignored our presence in the restaurant earlier." She was with Simmons, surely she couldn't even remember her own name," Liam chuckled, "It's nothing I wasn't expecting.”" And will she be allowed to remember her own name? I bet from now on she'll just go by babe, or whatever cheesy nickname he puts on her.”" Don't be mean, Rose. Not everyone can have the innate talent for nicknames like me," Liam winked at me.I was about to answer when a figure a few meters ahead caught my attention. Christian was lying under a tree with his eyes closed, seemingly oblivious to the world around him.Trying to resist the urge to approach, I turned my attention back to my friends, but to my surprise, t

    Rose" As we discussed in the previous lesson, the upper Paleolithic period was a staple period, everything that is known about that culture was reconstructed from objects found in various parts of the world, and it was no different with the first artistic manifestations. The hunter man used to paint on the cave walls much of what he saw in nature. Here, for example, we can see the kind of painting they did, these hands in negative were found in a cave in France " Karen Martinez, our art history teacher was showing each of the slides she had separated for the class, while I tried not to fall asleep " At that time, they used colored powder, which they made from crushed stones and blew with bamboo around their own hands.”I took a deep breath, tilting my head back, watching the ceiling as my classmates took notes on every detail of that class. I was wearing a tank top, the irritation in the tattooed area and the lack of loose enough clothing had made me choose to wear it that morning.

    RoseI could feel Jax O'Donnel watching our group, and it was already starting to annoy me, and it seems I wasn't the only one to notice." Hey, Simmons, did your freshman lose something on my girls? " Liam raised his voice, attracting the attention of Wayne, who was walking by our table and heading for his usual spot.The young man cast a surprised look at our group, seeming confused by the situation." What?” Jax frowned, surprised by Liam's reaction, but being the stupid freshman that he was, he kept a debauched smile on his face. In fact, it was easy to spot the freshmen in his own fellows; they were enjoying the situation while the seniors seemed tense about it. " He, I saw him at the party on Saturday. I guess he is your freshman, right? " Liam continued quietly, attracting the attention of most of the people in the dining hall.Christian crossed his arms, watching everything with a satisfied expression, while Jax seemed not to understand the situation he had gotten himself in

    RoseIn the early evening we gathered in my room, spreading out all the pieces of Theo's model on the floor as we worked. I was lying face down on the floor, working on a miniature painting while Theo cut the balsa wood moldings for the furniture and Skyller painted some pieces and laid them out to dry on a piece of cardboard on the floor.Liam had been in charge of picking up the pizza for Dinner and was taking longer than we expected. " Does Davis know your room? " Sky asked." Ahhh if he doesn't know, he'll love to find out today " Theo teased me." Very funny, Peterson. Why don't you concentrate on your project?” " You said yourself that he was after Alicia to get laid, why not with you? " Sky teased me.I shot her an amused look before turning my attention back to my miniature painting." If you look at it that way, then you're more his type. Thin, delicate," I sneered, "besides, the guy who picked out my ribs to get a tattoo just so I could feel pain doesn't deserve to get la

    Christian" According to Hund's Rule, if there are degenerate orbitals available, that is, with the same energy level, initially the electrons occupy the empty orbitals, and then pair up. Don't forget to write this down. Our evaluation is coming up, and I am sure that anyone with a well made notebook will have no problem! “I took note of everything Ms. Hanh, my general chemistry teacher, said in a nonchalant way. That teacher was slightly strange, so I preferred to always sit in the last row of the class, trying to avoid her noticing me to ask me questions as she used to. I was alternating my attention between the class and the messages that were arriving on my cell phone. Helping Theo Peterson with his project earlier in the week was like an initiation, or maybe, helping to put O'Donnel in his place was the initiation, either way, I was now part of the group."We finished class earlier, Liam and the others are going early, do you want a ride?"

    ChristianBut, contrary to what I imagined, Allie didn't stop following me, seeming willing to find a new subject." Are you going to the festival?”" Yes, Rose is waiting for me in the parking lot right now," I said without thinking.An expression of pure surprise came over the girl's face, seeming not to understand why her friend would be waiting for me, and I don't judge her, given the troubled beginning Rose and I had." Rose? Waiting for you? What for?" I'm giving her a ride," I held up one of the helmets I was carrying, watching her expression become increasingly surprised." And since when does she hitch a ride with you? " I noticed a certain annoyance in her voice, and I confess that I couldn't resist teasing her a little.I could see Rose talking to some girls a few meters away at the entrance of the parking lot. She frowned as soon as she noticed who was next to me, but forced a smile in response to something one of the girls had said. She was wearing baggy jeans and what

    Christian We were almost in the downtown area, we could already see the streets for the festival celebrating the city's anniversary, and I decided to find a quiet place to park and walk on foot. I stopped the bike and Rose and I disembarked, getting rid of the helmet afterwards." I have to admit, your Harley is beautiful," she complimented, combing her hair with her fingers after getting rid of the helmet. “What are the chances of you letting me ride your motorcycle?”" Have you ever ridden a motorcycle before? " I crossed my arms, watching as she used the rearview mirror to fix her hair." Never, but I'm sure I could if I tried," she admitted, taking off her jacket before handing it back to me." You won't try it with my Harley," I smile, putting it on and walking through the town streets." You're a real spoilsport, Davis. After your little exhibition I'll probably get my old high school nickname back, so at the very least you should thank me and teach me how to ride," she insiste

    Christian"Did you hear Liam's speech? "Rose asked.I turned my head to the side to watch her, she was sitting on the floor next to the bed, wearing only my boxer shorts while drawing on a pad. No one had come home yet and we were enjoying the silence.I felt exhausted after everything that had happened over the last few days, I couldn't believe that this nightmare had finally come to an end. After getting home and taking a long shower with Rose, the only thing I could do was lie down and stare at the ceiling in my room, imagining how everything would happen from then on."Could you not hear? "I sneered."Do you think he was serious about his vision of the future? "she turned her face to look at me."I don't know, maybe. But...I kept quiet, wondering what exactly I was going to say. Because more and more the whole scenario he described came to life in my mind, and every second I found it more enjoyable."But? "New Orleans is a nice city. We could live near each other and...

Rose got that from him," I commented."A bit? That's a joke, right? Last time the two of them ended up in a snow race just to break a tie in a series of board games "Cam rolled his eyes."Snow race?

    ChristianI stopped the bike in a parking space in front of the bar where Rose met Josh at the beginning of the year. I frowned as everyone got off their bikes there. That place wasn't one of my favorites and Rose must have known that, since we hadn't been back there since everything happened.She got off before me, taking off her helmet, running her fingers through her hair to adjust it and standing next to me when she noticed my hesitation in getting off the bike."Come on, it's about time we gave this place a second chance "she winked at me "let's enjoy it like we should have done that day. That was enough to convince me, so I took off my helmet and got off the bike. From there we could hear a band playing a cover of Aerosmith. Everyone started to enter the venue, not bothering to wait for me. I took a deep breath, slung my arm around Rose's shoulder and started heading towards the entrance. Both Rose and I ended up with the backs of our hands stamped indicating that we were unde

    ChristianI was lying in bed, watching the sunset light coming through the small window in the corridor facing the cell I occupied. My cell was the only one occupied in the police station, and that was no surprise. In a town as quiet as Grayfox Mills, it was difficult to see any movement at the police station during the week, when all the university students were busy with their classes.Everything I wanted. To get on with my classes without having to deal with some asshole who decided to play with my girl! But that asshole made it impossible.I'd been there for over twenty-four hours, and that had been enough time to calm my mind, at least as far as Jax was concerned. But even though I'd taken a few naps during the day, I couldn't stop imagining how Rose was doing, the look on her face as I was handcuffed never left my mind, and I just wanted the chance to talk to my girlfriend and make sure she was okay.My biggest concern with everything that had happened was just her. I didn't reg

    RoseMy gaze wandered around that hellish scene without knowing what to do. Everything unfolded in slow motion in front of me. On one side, Jax was lying, moaning in pain in a pool of his own blood, being supported by a waiter. His friends were on the other side, keeping some distance with an expression that ranged from surprise to fear, keeping as much distance as possible from Christian, who was standing next to me with both hands raised in a sign of surrender after handing Theo the keys to the bike. The sidewalk outside was starting to fill up as well, several people crowded near the glass window watching what was happening, some taking pictures or filming with their cell phones as the police approached us." Dad, do something " I begged for a magic solution, one that would stop my boyfriend from being taken by those men. "Chris..." I tried to put one of his hands down to pull him to me, but he stood his ground, looking the other way while someone talked to one of the policemen,

    Christian" Chris, you heard the dean, he'll probably be expelled... CHRIS! " Rose raised her voice as I stood up, heading for the exit." What's his problem?”" Damn it, Christian, get back here! " I heard Rose call before I got into the elevator that was standing on the floor, not waiting for her to arrive to press the button to close the doors.I checked the time on my watch, great, it's right on lunch break time, I'll find this bastard and finish him off wherever he is. Deciding not to waste any time, I got on the bike, driving inside the campus, heading towards the main cafeteria. I stopped the Harley anyway at the entrance to the cafeteria, ignoring the stares I was attracting, I opened the door without a care, looking around for my target. But to my dismay, the son of a bitch was nowhere to be found." Chris, what are you doing here? " I heard Sky's voice approaching.I turned towards her voice, finding her standing next to Theo with a frown as she watched me." 'O'Donnel, hav

All they wanted was to make sure that they would not be involved in that situation and they succeeded. " So? You can start " Rose took a deep breath with her arms crossed. " 'We're going to talk in a meeting with the dean,” Savannah said." 'That wasn't agreed,” Addison pointed out." We haven't agreed on anything yet, Mrs. Miller, and we're just making sure we don't get involved in any of this,” she returned.It was at that moment that Jack decided to get involved, seeming not to agree with the proposal." 'We're not going to guarantee any of this without knowing what you have to say.”" We can guarantee that Alicia and Audrey are responsible for everything, we will give the names of all those involved and we will tell you in detail everything we have discovered.

    ChristianI hurried down the stairs and into the kitchen, finding Jack and Addison in an uncomfortable silence. Their gazes fell on me as soon as I walked through the door, causing me to stall in my seat." What?”" Were you arguing? " Addison asked." Ohhh no... Rose is just frustrated with the situation, I suggested she paint a little to distract herself " I explained " I was supposed to bring her breakfast at the studio.”" I'll do it," Addison volunteered, getting up.I didn't argue with the woman, sitting down in the same place as before, accepting the muffin Jack handed me. We sat there, eating in silence for a few minutes, until the sound of the doorbell interrupted us. Jack signaled for me to remain in my seat, getting up to go answer the door.Frowning, I remained silent, trying to hear something to find out who was at the door, but they were either talking very quietly, or not at all. I stood up, deciding to satisfy my curiosity at once, that's when Addison's voice reached m

    ChristianI turned over in my bed, watching the face of Rose, who slept next to me curled up in a fetal position. My room was small and we didn't usually sleep there, but Rose couldn't bear the thought of sleeping in her room that night and I couldn't blame her. My girlfriend that day did not show all the usual tranquility when sleeping, which sometimes left me in doubt whether or not she had suddenly died in her sleep. On the contrary, she spent the whole night restless, and was not even sleeping on her stomach as usual.The silence outside the room showed that our classmates had probably already gone to class, only the two of us were left behind, trapped in our private hell. Deciding to let her rest a little longer, I got up, going to get dressed and brush my teeth before heading downstairs.The house itself seemed deserted, silence dominated the upper floor. I looked at the open door of Theo's room, where Jack ended up sharing the bed with Addison that night, finding the place empt
