Caesar's Rose

Chapter 50

I opened my locker and took out my books. It is closing hours and everyone is going home. I am very tired right now. I can't wait to lie on my bed. My back aches.

Closing my locker, I saw CJ leaning on the locker next to mine.

My heart dropped.

He moved away from the locker and towered me.

My heart pounded more than ever.

God, what does he want?

"Are you done with the project?" He asked.

"I....I will finish it tonight." I stuttered.

He scoffed. "Why the fuck are you slow?"

My legs weakened.

"Others are done with theirs. What is freaking keeping you?" He asked.

"I...I am doing it alone. It is supposed to be a teamwork job."

He scoffed.

My heart kept pounding.

"That's what you get for being my partner."

I furrowed my brows. "I didn't choose to...."

"Shut up and get the project done," he retorted.

I dropped my gaze, turning away.

"Where are you going to?" He asked, making me stop on my track.

"I am not yet done talking to you," he said.

I turned to him.

"Where the fuck are you rushing to?" He asked.

"Home," I said, without looking at him.

He scoffed. "You mean you are going to see that older boyfriend of yours." He said, making me look at him with furrowed brows.

"Or should I say man friend?"

My heart picked up.

He leaned closer to my ear.

"I am still going to tell the principal about it. I could get you expelled in an instant. So watch your back." He says, sending terror down my spine.

"Get that project ready tomorrow. Don't fuck with me." He said, walking away.

I let out a breath, placing my hand on my chest.

I locked up my locker and headed out.

"Rose!" Mum called loudly, interrupting my dreams.

I opened my eyes, looking at the ceiling as the rays of the sun hit my room.

"Rose, get up already. You will be late!" Mum called out again, making me heave a sigh.

Why is the day very fast?

It is morning already.

Sitting up, I realized that I left my books and CJ's iPad on my body and slept off.

I ran my fingers through my hair and let out a tired sigh.

My sleep was so short. I spent all night working on this project. I actually finished it, but my eyes are dropping.

"Rose!"

I sucked my teeth. "i am up!"

"Hurry up. When did you start being lazy?" She asked.

I heaved a sigh as I got out of bed. I packed up all my stuff in my bag before heading to the bathroom. I did my business, dressed up and headed out for breakfast.
