She is Not Who You Thought She Was

Chapter 97/Plans

When I saw that text my first thought was to ignore it, but it kept on haunting my mind. Who needs to talk to me that I don't have saved in my phone? Granted, I need to talk to a lot of people, but all their numbers are saved in my phone.

Also who randomly texts someone 'We should talk'.

I went all Wednesday trying to ignore it. Thursday morning I finally decided to answer it.

7:25 A.M

Me- Who is this?

When I didn't get a reply after about thirty seconds I decided to leave it be. It was most likely a wrong number. I hopped down the stairs and ran into my mom in the kitchen.

"Did you and Kayla get to catch up?" My mother asked as I poured coffee my back to her.

"Yep." I replied. "It's great to see her." I turned around once my lie was delivered flawlessly.

"Good. She mentioned she was staying in town for a while." My mom finished her coffee and I was halfway done with mine.

"Yeah she told me the same thing." I hid my shiver that ran down my spine.

"Well I'm off." Blair set her cup down.

"Wait." I grabbed her sleeve. Her blue eyes moved down at my hand then up at me clouded with motherly concern.

"Um just..." I let go, "I hope you have a good day." I pulled away and chugged my coffee.

"Thanks honey," she paused searching my face, "you too."

I didn't know how to bring up the conversation I had with Brandon. I need more information before I talk to her about it. I have no idea what's going on. All I do know is that she did something to piss Brandon off. That's all I have to go on.

I had no idea when Kayla would show up again and I wasn't sure how much she knew. Does she know that Rock and Flora live directly across the street? How much had Flora told her...? I should assume the worst, meaning she knows everything. However, she knows nothing about Black Velvet. Flora would never talk about that with just anyone and she's smarter than that.

As I walked out to start my car I glanced up at Rock's bedroom window.

'I don't want to poison my princess.'

My cheeks blushed as I remembered his words and I turned my gaze away.

My. My princess. I relived what it felt like to be so close to him to touch my thumb to his lips. I bit my lip subconsciously as I thought about him. However, what does he mean by poison me? He doesn't want to poison me then why has he kept me close? He shouldn't have said the things he did in the car after driving me home from East Coast. He practically told me he was jealous. That means he has feelings for me, right? If he has feelings for me...why can't I kiss him? Another thing to question is, why would he call me after committing that unlawful act? If that's the reason why, he would and should have never called me in the first place. The poison he is talking about...it's not lethal. At least not to me.

"I'm having to actually give class my full attention and these packets are still taking all day." I complained to Rock as we finished.

"I regret ever accepting Principal Rivera's offer." Rock replied.

I nodded with a sigh and my phone buzzed in my pocket. It was a message from the unknown number.
