She is Not Who You Thought She Was

Chapter 24/You Hate Me That Much

"See if you use dimensional analysis it is a one to three ratio." I pointed my pencil at the problem we have been trying to solve for the last half hour. We had spent about two hours on the first part of the packet then the last question really stumped us making us spend another half hour. At first I didn't understand the decomposition of one of the molecules, but once I did it all clicked.

"Okay so you would get three times as much carbon dioxide?" Rock asked hesitantly as he wrote down the answer.

"Exactly." I nodded as I watched him circle the answer. Rock closed his book dramatically.

"So we will meet here next time too." Rock announced. I froze. No. God no.

"No, the bleachers are fine." I avoided eye contact.

"My clothes are starting to wear out from sitting on the asphalt." Rock explained as he sat up and walked to his desk setting his book on it. I bit my lip not knowing how to get out of this one. He rose his arms above his head and stretched.

"We had such a good routine going." I half smiled. Rock turned back to me and had a smirk on his face.

"Do you hate me that much princess? What's the big deal?" His smirked changed to a stitch of his dark eyebrows together. He looked at me with...worry? No. Confusion?

"No big deal," I shrugged my shoulders, "We can meet here." I coughed at the end of my sentence.

God damnit. I will now be hanging out at Rock's house everyday after school and who knows maybe on the weekends too because Professor Clark can't shut his trap. Rock walked to his closet and I stood up getting ready to leave. I need to get out of here ASAP. I started towards his door before his words stopped me.

"Where are you going?" He asked as if I had a reason to stay put.

"Home." I said bluntly as he searched through his closet.

"I had to take up your Saturday with chem homework." He said like I should know what that means.

"And?"

"So I'm going to take you out to eat as a payment." Rock pulled out a black long sleeve tee. My eyes widened and I changed it before he could see the fear in my eyes.

"Oh that's okay I didn't have anything going on today anyways." I excused him.

"I owe you one," He laid the shirt on his bed then turned his entire body in my direction, "let me pay my debt." He stared at me. He was dead serious. I turned away swallowing thickly. Then met his eyes again and nodded. "You can wait downstairs, I'm going to change." I left his room not saying another word.

Who's making a big deal out of things now. 'Let me pay my debt.' Is that what he says to Jefe? Doesn't matter. I shouldn't even be thinking about that.

Once I got back downstairs I pulled my phone out to let Bellatrix and Roxy know about the change of plans. The fact that they will be coming to Rock Chase's house to hang out in the hot tub with his twin sister Flora. I opened up the group chat and begun typing.

3:40 P.M

Me- So a bit change of plans...

Me- Rock's sister Flora invited all of us over to hang out with her in their hot tub

Trix- Rock Chase???

Roxy- Rock has a sister??

Me- See you at my house by 7

Me- I'll explain later

Trix- Yeah you better

I laughed slightly Bellatrix was such a gossip queen.

I walked towards the front door to get my shoes noticing they had disappeared. Panic washed over me and I frantically started to search for them. I opened the closet that the butler put our coats into last night. Nope. I started to panic even more. Not another one. My breath started to quicken. What was it with this house giving me panic attacks?

"Hey, what's up?" Rock jogged down the stairs his tone calm, cool, and collected. I faced away from him he can't see me like this, not for the second time. "Buzz?" As I could feel his steps get closer the front door opened just in time. The butler walked through the door with a shoe box in his hand.

"Oh Miss. Buzzby, I took your shoes to get cleaned." He told me then presented the box to me opening the top. Relief poured over me as I stared at the black high tops. They looked good as new.

"Thank you very much." I said too much gratefulness coming from my tone. "Thank you." I said quieter and took the box from his hands. I sat down in the short bench placed on the opposite side of the closet and started to lace them on.

"I was going to replace the heel it seemed pretty worn, but the shoe shiner was already pretty booked today." The butler told me and I started to notice his accent seemed a bit french.

"Oh no that's okay. The heel is fine. No need for that." I said quickly. "But thank you, Mr...."

"Yves Bonfils."

"Merci Monsieur Bonfils." My accent was impeccable and I know Yves was impressed. I could tell from his smile.

"Je t'en prie mademoiselle Buzzby." He did a little bow of the head as he stepped back.

"Good afternoon Mr. Chase." The butler nodded his head at him then walked off. As I finished lacing off the other shoe I glanced up at Rock and saw him tilting his head at me.

"You seem to like those shoes a lot." Rock said more like a question than a statement.

"Yes I do." I licked my lips and rubbed them together. Scarlett Isobel don't you fucking dare. "My dad got them for me." What did I just say. Rock nodded at me and I think he could tell it was a sensitive subject because he immediately changed the subject.

"Let's go, my car's out in the garage." He gestured with a nod of his head. I followed after him silently checking him out. Mostly his outfit, but when he is right in front of me it's a bit difficult to not look at him. He had on the black long sleeve I saw him pull out before and black jeans. He wore white Gucci shoes and left his hair messy. It had a tiny hint of a curl to it, maybe more of a wave. We entered the garage and he pressed a button as it activated the third door where his black camaro was placed. He grabbed a pair of keys that hung next to the button. I was getting a sense of deja vu as I was walking to a handsome man's nice car to go eat. I rolled my eyes at the annoying situation Rock had created. Rock got into the drivers side and I was thankful he didn't try to open the door for me. Not that I was expecting him to, but if he did...I would've shut the door with his face in it.
