Roses and Cherry Blossoms

Chapter 16

Now that Cupcake and I are officially dating, I can't spend an hour without him before I start crying.

Apparently my DPD spends every second thinking my Cupcake is going to leave me.

Cupcake walked me to Chemistry this morning, but I haven't seen him since. I miss him.

The hallways are not too busy today, it is pretty easy to make my way to English without getting hit in the face with a bag.

What if Cupcake isn't waiting for me outside of class? What if he left me? I have been so excited to see him all day, but what if he isn't there? What if he doesn't love me anymore?

I let out a breath when I see him standing there. I immediately give him a hug, not caring that we are blocking the door to the classroom.

"I told you I would never leave you, Princess." He whispers.

When I pull away from him, he takes my bag from off of me, then grabs my hand and leads me into the room.

"I know." I assure him. I know, but my mind doesn't seem to. "How did you get all that from a hug?"

Cupcake pushes our desks together, then sets our bags next to our desks. "I know how you think." He says, tucking some of my hair behind my ear, grabbing my face with both his hands, then kissing my forehead.

Cupcake and I take our seats and I watch as people pool into the classroom. I have been here for months, but I have never talked to anyone here. Do they all remember me getting carried out as I was crying on my first day? I hope not.

We just finished reading The Crucible as a class, I had a tiny role, and I did great! Cupcake didn't read at all though, she didn't even assign him a part. I think she is scared of him.

Now that we are finally done reading, we get to watch the movie!

As always, I pull out my pens, Cupcake loves when I color his tattoos.

Does everyone at school know we are dating? We haven't been acting any different here, but maybe they have thought we are dating this entire time.

When the bell rings, the teacher doesn't bother saying a word, she just turns the lights off and hits play on the movie, she already had it ready on the screen.

Cupcake grabs my left hand in his right, he doesn't have any tattoos on his hands, so I never color them. But that means I can hold his hand as I color his arm!

It is a bit hard to see in the dark, but we are sitting closest to the window, so a bit of light is peeking through the blinds.

Everyone stays silent the entire time, except for the one kid that announced, "I guess he really hit rock bottom", when a guy got crushed to death with stones.

The movie is a little old, so the quality isn't the best, but it isn't bad! By the time the bell rings, I don't think Cupcake has watched a single second of it. He just stares at me the entire class.

I hold hands with Cupcake as we walk to the cafeteria. When I am with him, people always move out of our way, I feel famous as they clear the way and watch us walk by.

But I hate that they are all just scared of Cupcake. I don't like how they all see him as evil. He is so sweet! It is so unfair that one mistake made everyone see him this way.

Even the teachers are scared of him! I have no idea how they are all scared of him when he treats me so well. Even around everyone else he treats me like a princess. And when we are alone all he does is use me as a pillow and tell me how in love with me he is.

When we reach the cafeteria, Seb is already sitting at our usual table.

"What is the verdict, Evie?" He asks when he sees me. Yesterday I told him my last email regarding if I was accepted or not into the schools I applied to finally was sent. But I made him wait until today to find out the results.
