Caesar's Rose

Chapter 42

🌹ROSE🌹

I opened my locker and took out my notebooks. I put back the ones in my bag into the locker and zipped up my bag.

I felt eyes on me. I looked around me and I saw students staring at me. They are staring at me weirdly. I turned back to my locker. I took out my pencil which I have no need for but the way everyone is staring at me is making nervous.

"Rosy," Joey called, walking towards me. I felt a bit relieved.

"Joey," I called, locking up my locker.

"What's up?" He asked.

"I don't know. Everyone is staring at me." I whispered, feeling more nervous as we looked at them.

"Come on, let's go to the girls' restroom." Joey said, taking my hand and led us to the restroom. We both entered and he closed the door.

I heaved a sigh, walking close to the mirror as I placed my palm on my temples.

"What happened, girlfriend?" Joey asked, making me turn to him.

"I yelled at CJ."

"WHAT?!" He blurted.

My heart picked up.

"You did what?" He asked.

I nodded. "I yelled at him in front of the entire school, Joey." I said, panicking a little.

"Oh my gosh."

"He caused it. He was playing with me with his car. I was very scared and angry at the same so I bursted out. I couldn't help it." I explained.

"Geez,"

"I called him a soulless jerk, Joey." I said, making him gasp.

"No way. To his face?"

I nodded.

"Wait, when did this happen?" He asked.

"A few minutes ago."

"Damn, my sister and her annoying delays. I should have witnessed this if it wasn't for my sister and her stupid makeup." He said.

"You wear makeup too." I said.

"I know but I do it early and faster but she actually sleep on the job." He said, rolling his eyes.

"What am I going to do, Joey?" I almost cried.

"I am thinking." He said, placing his finger on his chin.

I heaved a sigh.

"What did he do after you yelled at him?" He asked.

"He came unto me but the principal yelled at him and he drove away angrily." I said.

"So, he is not in school then."

I nodded, recalling the name the principal called him.

"Joey,"

"Yeah?"

"Did you know his full name is Caesar Junior?"

Joey furrowed his brows. "Who?"

"CJ. The full meaning of CJ is Caesar Junior." I said.

He shrugged. "Maybe. It could mean anything. We all know him as CJ. That has been his name ever since."

"He was really angry when the principal called him that. Like he hated his full name." I said, making Joey hum.

"And I have a friend who bears Caesar." I said, recalling my time with the boss at that expensive restaurant.

"Wow, this friend of yours must be a very nice one. Look at you, you are actually blushing." Joey said, snapping me off my thoughts.
