Caesar's Rose

Chapter 55

"What is going on here, CJ?" Jane asked. Her tone is a bit harsh.

I dropped my gaze, moving aside a bit.

"Nothing," CJ said.

I felt my nerves calming down.

"Were you trying to kiss her?" Leila asked.

I froze.

CJ scoffed in disgust. "Stop saying shit, Leila. I won't be caught dead kissing this lowlife." he said, making my heart clench.

I looked at him.

His eyes moved to me. 

I shook my head in disbelief.

"What?!" He snapped.

I flinched slightly, dropping my gaze as tears approached my eyes. I felt my heart clenching.

"Of course. I knew I was wrong. I would have asked what has gotten into you. I prefer this dummy in front of me to this penniless bitch." Leila said, making me look at her.

She is looking at me mockingly.

"Did you just call me a dummy?" Jane asked her calmly.

"Yes, dummy. I just did." Leila said.

"What the hell are you two even doing here?" CJ asked.

"You need to explain to me, CJ," Leila went on.

I made fast strides towards the door, not willing to stay in the same space as them again. I headed out as tears rolled out my eyes.

I headed towards the ladies' restroom. I got into one of the toilets and closed myself.

I said on the closed toilet seat as more tears rolled out of my eyes. What he said repeated in my head.

"I won't be caught dead kissing this lowlife."

I wish I could say something to him. But I can't.

But one day I will.

I let out a scoff of disbelief.

Low life?

Really?

Like I wanted him to kiss me. I won't be caught dead kissing him either.

I will never!

He is a soulless demon.

Why would I kiss a demon? Why would I?

I sniffled, wiping my tears as I felt my phone vibrating in my bag.

I placed it on vibration to keep it away from my mum's ears. I don't like her asking me too many questions.

I sniffled again as I unzipped my bag and took out my phone.

Mr Caesar called me two times. I didn't know when he called the first time.

I guess he called when I was going through hell in CJ's hands.

CJ is so bad. I was very scared back there.

I can't even imagine what would happen if he told the principal about Mr Caesar and me.

It is going to be hell for sure. My mum will definitely disown me.

I have to avoid him. He is trouble.

He is a very huge problem.

I stared at my phone, waiting for Mr Caesar to call again.

I got a text instead.

"I presume you are in class. Happy learning 😘 I have a lot to do here myself, but I wanted the soothing nature of your beautiful voice. Talk later tho❤️."
