The chemistry of all colors 39. The chapter where Christian finds out about the relationship
ChristianI watched in amazement as Rose practically ran out of the room leaving me behind. What's wrong with this crazy woman?Shrugging my shoulders, I turned my attention back to my cell phone, receiving some notifications on my Instagram.Opening the app, I couldn't contain a small smile when I saw the photo I took with Rose in the hospital. I opened the comments on the photo, most were from our classmates, some praising the costumes, especially Rose's, others asking what had happened and some just using the comments to flirt with the girl. That's when some comments from members of the Wandering Falcons began to catch my attention. Questions like "Is that the girl?" "Is that her?" confused me, I thought about answering, but remembered my initial purpose in picking up the cell phone, leaving that question to resolve later.My call was answered in the first few rings, as if they were waiting for me to return. My mother was the first to speak up." Chris?”" Hi mom…”" Hey kid, I th

ChristianEveryone interrupted what they were doing, alternating their gazes between the two of us looking confused by the situation. Rose closed her eyes, hiding her face again on her knees, as she was sitting on the floor next to her father." Dating? Really? Because you were with her friend yesterday," Theo pointed out." I'm not dating her! " I pointed.Rose stood up, approaching me with a haughty expression on her face." It was an accident, I had no way of imagining that they would misinterpret me," she shrugged." What did you tell his parents? " Addison wanted to know." Why were you talking to his parents? " Theo added." I didn't say anything too much, I just reassured them both and said that Christian was fine," she returned, "you're overreacting.”" You said we're sleeping together! " I returned.Rose stared at me dumbfounded, looking as if she couldn't believe that I had said it out loud in the middle of her father's living room, and in a normal situation I wouldn't. But
The chemistry of all colors 41 - The chapter where Rose takes care of Christian
ChristianWe left right after dinner, and to my misfortune, I was forced to let Harry drive my motorcycle while I curled up in Brigitte's car seat, under the watchful eye of Rose who seemed willing to take me back to the hospital at any sign of worsening. Once we arrived at the campus she walked me to my room, sitting on the edge of my bed with a worried expression as I curled up in bed. After taking one more painkiller. " Are you sure you'll be okay here alone? You look terrible," she frowned." She's right, you do look pale," Theo, who had helped me up and was standing beside the bed, agreed." I just need to sleep, the drugs will kick in soon," I took a deep breath, "besides, I won't be alone, Harry is my roommate, remember?”" You better not count on him too much," Liam warned, entering the room, "he asked me to give you back your keys and your helmet, he intended to take Sky somewhere.”His voice was full of disgust, but I didn't feel like focusing on his dramas at that moment.

Rose Campbell" What do you mean by that? " I asked without looking away from the pad of paper where I was sketching a landscape in graphite.Christian and I were sitting in the common area of the house during our lunch hour on Friday waiting for the others to arrive, I had taken off the pair of sneakers I was wearing and was standing with my feet on the sofa, using my knees to support the pad of paper while Christian sat on the floor beside me taking notes on the subjects he had missed during the last week of his illness." I'm just saying that maybe we should take a break from all this. It's been almost a month since I've been with another girl, and that's certainly not what we agreed on.” He explained without looking away from a pink notebook from which he was copying things that I certainly wouldn't understand." And since when is this my fault? Am I sucking your sexual energy? " I returned, looking at the feminine handwriting in the notebook." Very funny, Rose. But tell me, when
The chemistry of all colors 43. The chapter where no one feels jealousy
Rose Leaving the group behind, I rushed to class, figuring I had gotten rid of the worst part, but in the end, research was not my biggest concern. Phillip decided that we would work on an observation drawing that we had been developing in the last few classes and nothing was ever right for him. He constantly corrected me and made me start from scratch, and we hadn't even begun to illustrate it yet! When I left class at the end of the day, I felt irritated and exhausted, to tell you the truth, I was only willing to stay in my room for the rest of the night, but a message from Liam telling me that he would wait for us in the movie theater later showed me that I had no alternative.Snorting, I sidestepped my colleagues, wondering what clothes I would wear as I walked to the villa. I was almost reaching the stairs to go up to my room when I saw Christian approaching." Looks like someone had a bad day," he commented, starting to walk me up." You have no idea," I murmured, walking with
The chemistry of all colors 44 - The chapter with the green jujubes
RoseI spent a few minutes there before getting up, deciding to take a shower and get ready for the show that night. If he wants us to go out with other people, that's what's going to happen!Wearing tight pants and a green sweater with a nice neckline, I let my hair down in an attempt to hide the purple mark Christian had left on my neck earlier and went downstairs to meet everyone. Ellen didn't wait for me to introduce her to Christian, sitting down on a futon next to him. Liam was with Brittany in a prime spot, ignoring Harry and Skyller who were in the background. Theo hadn't arrived yet, but just ahead of Christian I found an empty seat, and I didn't mind taking it. What I least wanted was to spend the evening having to watch him and Ellen make out." Hey, mind if I sit here? " I caught the eye of the red-haired, blue-eyed guy who was sitting alone on a futon that would fit two people.I felt Christian's gaze on me, but ignored it, settling down next to the guy, whom I knew from
The chemistry of all colors 45. The chapter where Christian ruins the experiment
Christian I put a hand in the pocket of my lab coat, as I checked my lab notebook for calculations on the experiment we were going to perform. I looked around, spotting Camille standing alone at a bench in the far corner of the lab, making me want to join her. Not that I was attracted to her in any way, but it bothered me to see how she was always alone and always seemed to become the butt of other girls' jokes." Are you excited for the holiday? " Harry's voice snapped me out of my contemplation, grabbing my notebook to check that his own calculations were correct.It was already Tuesday of Thanksgiving week, and Rose and I would be traveling before nightfall, so I couldn't deny that I was excited for it." I am, I can't wait to get back to Florida, I got a flight for tomorrow," Taylor commented, making me snort internally. " I'm taking a bus to Pittsburgh in the morning," Harry added." I have a long drive to Missoula, let's leave later today.” I shrugged, separating the material
The chemistry of all colors 46 - the chapter with the Miller-Campbell talk
ChristianIt took a few minutes before I was free of all the lab chores, removing my goggles and lab coat before walking over to her, feeling my mood improve considerably as I admired her even more closely." Wow, I've never seen you in action before, Mr. Mad Scientist," Rose scoffed as I approached." I prefer to be called an evil genius," I returned with a small smile, putting one arm around her shoulder, while holding my lab coat and notebook with the other. “Are you already ready?”Despite the low temperature I didn't like to walk around with my lab coat outside the lab, so I would have to wait until I got to my locker to get my jacket." I talked to Ms. Clarke, explained that I had a long way to go, and like Miss Morgenstern, she released me from the class, but I have to hand in some work next week to make up for it, so you'll have to find a place in your bag for my material.”That explanation caused me to glare at her. This was typical, why did I have to make room for her things

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...

ChristianI sat down, taking the bottle of beer from my sister, taking a sip before she grabbed the bottle from my hand and slapped me upside the head."Your father-in-law has guaranteed that you'll beat Bobby and Otto at pool, they've never lost at the bar "My father pointed to the table where Rose and Jack were getting ready to start the game."My father-in-law is... a bit competitive. 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? "My mother raised both eyebrows."While they were taking off their clothes," Theo added."Taking their clothes off? "Amber choked next to me."They had a series of target games in the middle of the course, and every time they missed they had to take off a piece. At the end of the race, he was only wearing shorts and boots and she was wearing a gym top, shorts and boots "I explained, taking the bottle of be
The chemistry of all colors 157 - The chapter with the celebration
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
The chemistry of all colors 156 - The chapter in which Christian gets out of jail
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
The chemistry of all colors 155 - The chapter where Rose decides what to do
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
The chemistry of all colors 153 - The chapter where Christian finds out
ChristianSavannah and her friends stood up, looking satisfied with the outcome of that little meeting. 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. " Savannah said " we even have message exchanges to prove it.”Everyone considered that information for a second befor

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
The chemistry of all colors 151 - The chapter with breakfast with the in-laws
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
