She is Not Who You Thought She Was

Chapter 94/Fear the Admission

I felt like a groggy zombie Tuesday morning. I texted Flora first thing when my alarm went off.

6:46 A.M.

Me- I'll collect your homework at school and bring it by after class

Me- Let me know if I can bring you anything else

I added a kiss emoji at the end of the last text.

She told me that she would be taking at least a week off. However, it could be more.

I dressed and did my hair and makeup, wondering if Rock would be coming to class today. We haven't contacted each other since last night. We ended up going our separate ways after...a moment.

I wanted to know more about what happened that weekend, but I wondered if it would be worse for me to know than to not.

Trix and Roxy chatted about nonsense as I drove to school in silence, unprepared for anything.

"You're quiet...nervous about the advanced course?" Trix asked me.

"Huh?" I had been hypnotized by driving and didn't notice we were already at school. "Oh right. Hardly." I answered.

Chemistry 102 is the last thing on my mind right now. Honestly, I would have forgotten about it and accidentally went to Clark's room if Bellatrix hadn't mentioned it.

"What's got you so quiet then?" Roxy asked. It's odd for Roxy to ask questions, she is not one to pry. That's how I know my behavior and aura must be really abnormal.

"Something I can't tell you guys about." I said vaguely.

"Something you can't tell us about?" Trix scoffed getting out of the car. "We are your best friends we don't count when it comes to secrets. It's like when someone says 'don't tell anyone' they are basically saying don't tell anyone except for your best friend." 

"It's more complex than that Trix." I sighed running a hand through my thick hair.

Roxy and Bellatrix exchanged a glance.

"Fuck you guys." I cursed at them.

"We know." They said simultaneously.

"Assholes." I muttered.

"You got mixed up in some shady Black Velvet business didn't you." Trix taunted whispering in my ear.

"I'm never going to tell you." Even though they were technically right I won't tell them anything. Nothing at all, it's extremely dangerous. I shouldn't even been involved in it either. The only reason I am is because I care too much about Flora and as much as I fear the admission...it's because I care about Rock too.

"Morning ladies." His voice interrupted my thoughts...about him.

Rock stood leaning on the wall where he always did. He gave all three of us a grin as he looked too casual. He wore a black leather jacket some type of dark top under it and dark jeans. His hair was a hot mess and his eyes glowed amber as he set his eyes on me.

"We will talk later." Trix told me and they both nodded at Rock as they walked off.

I didn't move just staring at Rock. I blinked stiffly at him.

"Let's go princess." With a jerk of his head a gesture for us to move forward. I licked my lips quickly then moved forward and he continued to walk once I got closer to him.

"Do you know which classroom our new class is in?" He nodded with a humming noise not adjusting his gaze. I took that as my invitation to look at the floor.

I didn't expect him to show up. Although he did.

Rock stopped abruptly in front of a classroom and turned to look down at me.

"What is it?" I asked when he didn't say anything.

"Nothing." He said staring for a moment longer, I held my breath as he stared, and just like that he was back at the door opening it.

I inhaled and exhaled deeply before following behind him.

Several students sat at their desks studying or scrolling on their phones. I few groups of people chatted while they waited for class to start.

"I'm serious...Oh my god." A girl stopped talking when her eyes landed on Rock. They followed him as we took the last few seats in the back. She turned back to her friend and whispered something in her ear.

I sighed looking down at the desk hoping not to run into another 'Lustful Lydia' situation. I glanced back at the girl and she smiled in Rock's direction, I turned my gaze to Rock, he stared at the girl blankly, and then moved his eyes to mine.

'Careful Princess.' He mouthed at me and I went wide-eyed at him. He didn't have to say anything else for me to understand what he meant by careful.

He said 'Careful Princess your jealousy is showing.'

The packet was not given until the end of class. The professor did the same routine as Professor Clark and it was kind of nice not having to learn in a different style. Although it wasn't ideal it was the best way you could teach chemistry. I do have to say I'm glad he went over everything because unsurprisingly the material was a bit harder than the Chemistry 100.

"I'll see you after school then?" I gather my things.

"You don't have to." I stopped moving and glanced up at him with confusion. He looked towards the exit. I let him have a minute to elaborate, but he gave me nothing.

"I have to bring Flora her school work so I'll be there anyways." I explained to him.

"That's fine I can do that for her, I'm her bro-"

"I already told her I'd do it." I cut him off.

He stopped staring at me seriously. Why is he so closed off? Is he...annoyed with me?

"Fine. I'll see you later." Rock beelined it for the door leaving me in the dust. I walked out of the classroom staring down the corridor watching Rock disappear.

What just happened? Did I do something wrong?

"Scar." I tilted my head and then turned around hearing someone call my nickname.

My throat dropped to my stomach. I lifted my chin as I stopped myself from jerking back.

"Kayla Eden."
