A Rose To Remember

Chapter 2.

Used to sit in the front of that history class us 2 shared, me and Kerry Anne that is.

Used to catch her eyes glancing at me, even before we fucked and i made the bad bad bad decision to get with her just to appease Jackson and prove he wasn't the only one who could get a relationship out of the two of us.

She'd glance and honestly with eyes like that it'd be hard to not notice when they're glaring onto your lap every 5 minutes in the middle of learning about the wild west and dumbass cowboys making dumb decisions 50 years ago or whenever the fuck cowboys were a thing, only thing i ever payed attention too in that class was the sound of repetitive jokes playing in my own head and liam's dumb ass comments that kept the class entertained for a couple seconds before the teacher would briskly brush him off or send him out of the class for being 'disruptive'.

I'd give in here and there and look over at her, because i meant what i said when i thought she was stupid hot, she really really was. The type of girl you wanted to breed with but nothing more than that. Not someone i'd dedicate my entire life too and marry anyway, just the type of girl i'd glance at and think about fucking, wasn't the only dude who thought it either.

I still remember how the grade reacted when me and Kerry Anne tried each other out like chocolate coated strawberries on valentines day, half the grade were jealous, the other half were surprised i was even straight because i'd never shown any interest in any of the other girls in the grade or did anything ever.

Far too introverted to do that on a regular basis, no.

At Jackson's friend Kianni's party thats where me and Kerry Anne had our first introductions, sure we already knew each other, impossible not too, but not that personally beforehand, Kianni was pretty hot too, that was the only reason Jackson was friends with her, thought he'd have a chance to smash if he got close, it never worked. Kianni was far too smart to give into someone like Jackson, and far far too reserved to kick anything off with anyone.

She was the type of girl completely contrary to Kerry Anne, even in looks. Doe brown eyes and chestnut hair with high cheekbones and a button nose. Not that her looks matter, it was her waist and how she held herself that got all the dudes attracted to her.

Girls that played hard to get were always swooned over in Leon King. That or the easy to use and please kind of girls, the girls who'd appease any man that wanted her.

It was kinda cliche and sad to be completely honest with you, but that's just how Leon King worked, half the guys were testosterone on legs and the girls were pure blooded oestrogen.

First conversation i ever had with Kerry Anne was shared over a cigarette, thats how cliche Leon King was. Some shit about how she was pissed off because Katie wouldn't listen to her complain, so i took the brunt anyway. I mean hell, Jackson had been doing the same to me for the last 6 years of my life, it was everyday shit at that point.

'she's such a fucking bitch. a whore too, do you know how many men she's had between her legs? doesn't understand what dignity is. no wonder her mum killed herself.' she spoke with malice in her god annoying voice, always felt that sentence was a bit harsh and a tiny bit hypocritical considering how easy it was to sleep with Kerry Anne that exact same night and how easy it was to get between her legs and start something up, but it didn't matter much, never said anything just sat and said mhm here and there or asked if she wanted a lighter or vodka or something of the sort just so she'd shut the fuck up for even just a second. And thats exactly how i slept with her too, just so she had something else to do rather than bitch and complain about Katie.

Katie was just as annoying honestly, but at least she understood how to be quiet + understood the right words to say and wasn't a huge hypocrite to anyone.

But anyway, back to Kerry Leah Rosemary Anne, name honestly just sounded like a bundle of random women names sorted into an array to create a sentence, never worked as a name but with parents like hers you wouldn't be surprised that they kinda just threw something together and hoped for the best.

Kerry Anne was smart, don't get me wrong, just had absolutely no personality and thought about sex way too often to have any normal conversations with absolutely anyone about absolutely anything normal and not related to men or bitching about every single of her 'friends' that she clearly hated with a passion. Dating her was a drag. Not sure why I did it honestly, i never loved her or cared really, it just killed the time i could kill being a freshly turned seventeen year old, Also made it so that i didn't have to jerk off to old school porn magazines.

Fuck, i think the most fun me and Kerry Anne ever had was the day she talked about something other than everybody else.

Oh, and the day her mum took us to Greece for a couple weeks in the summer between junior year and senior year, that was a blast honestly. Greece was warm and sweaty but so so beautiful and whilst i didn't enjoy being in Kerry Anne's presence and sharing a room with her for that entire two weeks, i still enjoyed the beautiful surroundings in places like Athens and Olympia, gorgeous country and amazing mythology that i will geek out over any and every day if you gave me the chance.

Back to Kianni's party anyway, it took a solid 3 glasses of vodka and Kerry Anne's annoying presence before i decided to shut her up myself, she'd been following me around all day anyway , she'd have appreciated it, and she did.

I know she did, she talked to me at school the day after, and the day after that, and the day after that until Jackson somehow convinced me to ask her out , im not sure why i gave in honestly, i think i just wanted to hear her gush about me rather than some random dude or girl i'd never even heard of in the school.

Dating her wasn't any different anyway, personality was still as boring as a bag of bricks, but at least i got attention when she said yes to the question that i was near enough pressured into asking her and got to have sex sometimes. that was always a bonus.

Dated for a year and a month before i decided i was tired of hearing her voice + her bitch constantly and start pointless arguments over nothingness and broke it off.

Then it was just back to me and Jackson and putting up with him go on and on and on about some girl named Roxy, and some girl named Katie, and some girl named Leah, and some girl named Kiera, and some girl named stephanie, and some Cleo. you get the point.

Wasn't until the end of senior year i even spoke to another girl besides Kerry Anne, and when i did let me tell you she was absolutely stunning. That was the one and only time i have ever fallen for someone, and when i say fallen, i mean fallen.
