The Ruse

THE PROBLEMS BEGIN

AUTHOR'S NOTE: Dearest gentle readers, this book is tagged mature for a reason. It literally is tagged MATURE. So, if you do not feel comfortable with the writing due to vulgar words, there'll be a lot of it in this chapter, infact, the whole book. So, if you have a problem with it, do not read this book, or try to manage. Thank you. Yours truly, Esta😘
Lucas' POV
           I couldn't even listen to a single word that my calculus teacher was saying. All I could think of was why she cheated on me. My best friend, Justin, sent me a picture of her with that man slut, Cole. I really really liked her, but after finding about that, I always feel revolted by her sight. Why could she not even tell me. I felt someone tapping me, it was Justin. "Dude, did you talk to her about it?" He asked. "No, I thought she'd tell me herself". "And if she does, what are you going to do?" "I don't know, okay. I've been trying to ignore her, but it's even harder when you're in the same class as her". "Mr Roland!" A familiar voice had called me, but I had no interest in what the voice said. "Mr. Roland" do voice repeated, and that's when it hit me, it was my teacher. "Umm, yes sir." I said. "Are you listening to what I'm saying?" He said. "Yes sir, infact I actually have a question for you." I said, thinking that this was not going to end well. "Go on, Mr. Roland" he said. I could see Justin looking at me with what was a "what are you doing" expression. I took a deep breath and said, "Sir, lets take it that X and Y are joined together by multiplication and all of a sudden, an enemy 'Z', decides that Z can subtract Y from X and add it to him, it, I mean it, and Y and Z are incompatible, so X decides to just cut Y off to the other side to be with Z on the other side of the equation." I finished. I decided to leave the class. I could hear the teacher screaming my name. That's when I heard her annoying voice. "Wait. Did I do something?"

Rosaline's POV
     
Lucas just blurted out some ridiculous question about X, Y and Z. then it hit me, something was definitely wrong with him and it definitely had something to do with me. I saw him walking out of the class few minutes before it was over. I followed him outside and said "wait. DId I do something?". I could feel that he was so frustrated and angry. "Get the fuck away from me." He said. I personally, am not a fan of the use of vulgar or cuss words, because it annoys me and if I do use it, I'm extremely angry. "What did I do to you." I asked. That's when the bell was rung. "Is that a fucking joke?" He decided to finally turn around and look at me. "Tell me it's a freaking joke. Rosaline, you actually have the nerve to kiss that whore, Cole. Are you that daft that you don't know that he's a player. Soon enough, half of the whole students were staring at us as we stood in the middle of the hallway. I really didn't want to shout at him, but he was making it really hard and it just happened. "I'm not daft, one, two, I'd never kiss Cole on my own free w-". Luke took out his phone and showed me a video of me and Cole. Then all of a sudden, there was a huge gasp from the crowd and people pulled out their cameras and started videoing what was going on. I tried looking for Reneé in the back, but she hid her face behind the crowd. Is she for real right now. "Luke, listen to me. Cole forced himself on me. You can see clearly in that video to that he backed me against the wall and restricted my movement. Luke, I love-" "Just shut up already, we're done", he said walking away. "Well at least he made a move on me..." I stopped, hoping he'll stop walking away and he did. "... unlike you who hasn't even kissed me since like three months ago. Sometimes, I just feel like you never actually liked me." Luke walked away. Then I received a text from Luke. "Get your shit out of my house." A year drop fell on my phone. I ran to the bathroom
I dialled my mother's number, praying she'd pick up, but all to no avail. I didn't have anywhere to live. I received a text from Reneé which said, 'Meet me under the bleachers after class.' As I came out of the toilet, I heard Chanelle's excruciatingly annoying voice. "At least my idiotic brother finally cut you off, you harlot. I cannot wait to tell my parents that a burden has been lifted of our shoulders. Finally, there won't be a fucking whore in our house, Daddy will be so happy." She laughed and walked off. I couldn't believe she just insulted me three times under ten seconds.
        You know what's worse than being embarrassed in front of everyone, coming to class late after being embarrassed, causing everyone to stare at you. "You're late, Rosaline, take a seat at the back. Fortunately, Lucas doesn't take AP English so I was in the clear. That's what I thought, but as for the rumor mill, I was the hottest topic. I came to sit next to a girl, but she put her bag on the seat. I sighed and walked past her until I saw literally everyone either doing that same thing or avoiding me. Then someone signalled me to come sit beside me at the back. That was one of the unpopular people in the school that people avoided or mocked, to save their 'popularity'. I literally hit rock bottom.
   "This means that Lucas is available", "I always has a feeling that bitch was cheating on him.", "It's because she's beautiful, if she were ugly, she's know better." I could hear the loud whispers from different people. Hardly anyone was paying attention. I was so lost in my trance that I didn't even notice the boy besides me was taking notes for me.
"Oh, thanks so much", I said. 'Are you doing alright? You've zoned out like four times now. Is it because of the breakup?" I really didn't want to tell a stranger about my love life, but literally all the strangers in this school and those on social media already know, so why not. "Um, I actually don't have anywhere to go. I live, used to live with Luke-." Oh, so you guys stayed together in the same house." He said and I could definitely tell he was getting the wrong idea. "No, no, no, it's not like that at all. I just-his parents are there, with his sister and uh-it really is not like that. We stay in different rooms.'' "Oh, oh, I get it." He said, absolutely trying not to laugh. I couldn't help it, I started laughing and then he laughed. We completely forgot what we were talking about. "My name's Mori". He said. "My name is Rosaline". I said. "Yeah, I'm aware. He said with a smile on his face. Then the bell rang. As I was about leaving the class to thee bleachers, he said, "glad I could make you smile, Rosaline." I giggled again and thanked him for the notes and left

Dearest gentle readers, how are you loving the book. I'm sure you can already see the tension between Mori and Rose. Any hoo, random question for the week: if you were to be a Powerpuff girl, which will you be and why🤪🤪. Me and my lazy ass, hoping to start the next chapter this night, but I got to get my beauty sleep 💤 and also annoy ppl.
Your crazy, Dazai obsessed author,
