Caesar's Rose

Chapter 17

🌹ROSE🌹

I fiddled with the side of my dress nervously. My heart is pounding very fast.

CJ is seated at the backseat. And he is looking at me mischievously.

What is he doing there?

His doesn't sit at the back.

His seat is the one at the front.  The one I sat on during my first time in maths class. The one he had me punished for. Why isn't he seated there?

The front seat is empty. Why isn't he sitting on it? Why the back?!

"Let's just go and sit down, Rosy." Joey said to me.

I shook my head, scared to death. I have no idea what CJ is up to. He is really looking at me in that weird way.

"Rosy, come on." Joey said, urging me to move ahead.

I shook my head.

"Come on, girl. We are standing in front of the class. Have you forgotten that?" He whispered and I noticed some of our classmates looking at us.

At me, particularly and in a weird way. More people are still entering the class and getting settled on the empty seats. The entire front seats are filled up already. Empty seats are only available at the back.

God, no. Please.

"Settle down, students." I heard the familiar voice of the math teacher, making me look in his direction. He just walked in and he is already wiping the board.

"Let's go, Rosy." Joey said, urging me to move ahead.

I took slow steps towards the backseat with my gaze down. I felt CJ's eyes on me as I walked. Joey walked to the third role close to the windows and sat on the second to the last seat.

I was about to seat on the second to the last seat that is on the first role and close to the wall but someone quickly sat on it.

I froze as I stared at the person. I recognized him as one of CJ's friends. He winked at me, sending terror down my spine. He motioned to the empty seat in the middle role and right in front of CJ's seat.

My heart skipped a beat.

"That's your seat, blue panties." CJ's friend said, pointing at the seat.

I looked at him. He is smirking like a devil.

I looked towards CJ.

He is looking at me mischievously.

My legs weakened. I felt like running out of the class.

But I can't.

I need math. I didn't understand the notes. I need to be in class and follow the teachings. Sitting at the back is problem enough but I had to sit here because of him and now he is here to make my life hell.

"Sit down." CJ ordered.

My heart dropped. He is staring right at me.

I looked towards Joey. He is giving me that worried look.

"Is there a problem, Miss Adams?" The math teacher asked.

"No, Mr Collins. Everything is fine over here." CJ's friend said.

"I wasn't asking you, Luther." The math teacher said.

Luther chuckled.

"Take a seat, Miss Adams so I can proceed." The teacher said.

I looked back at the empty in front of CJ.

I looked at CJ.

He is looking at his notebook.
