13 DAYS : 13 ROSES

Day 9 : Yellow Rose

I was a little nervous today. I wore my yellow sundress with black heels. I walk down the hallway and saw a couple of eyes on me. They all were there because I talked back to Stacy. I don't think it is going to stop anytime soon I still shyly walked down and grab my books from the locker and went for my AP English. I sat on my regular seat. I found a yellow rose with a card addressing me.

Sweetheart,

Yellow rose... Pretty  rose for a pretty girl. I guess that's you know what it means. Well I'm not going to be scared. I want to know you. I want you to know me. If you want to know me then meet me at Cafe Di Lava after school. I'll be waiting for you.

Love,
Ur secret admirer

I decide that I should go. There was a large part of me that wanted to go. But another part of me was telling me not to. This is too good to be true. What if this was a prank?? Or what if this guy was rapist??
No if he would be a rapist then he wouldn't have given me flowers. He would have done it anyway till now. The only way to find about this is by meeting him at cafe.

*********** At Cafe Di Lava***********

As I entered the cafe my eyes roamed around to check if someone from class was there or not. I sat down on a table and waited. After waiting for 10 minuets I ordered a pastry for myself. I waited for another half an hour. He still didn't came. Maybe this was a prank. As I stood up and was about to leave when Zac Reynold showed up. He was in my Physic and English class. He was the first bench nerd with those nerdy glasses. Even with his glasses he looked sexy. Damm it Carly. Snap it out. You aren't allowed to do this.

"Hi I'm Zac." He says extending his hands.
"Carol. But you probably know." I said shaking his hands.
We both sit down. "Sorry I'm late." He says flipping his hairs. "I had family emergency. I shouldn't have kept you waiting."
"It's okay." We both sit in silence.
"So.."We both said at same time.
"You go first." I tell him.
"So I was telling that you really are pretty." He commented and made me blush.
"Well you don't look bad yourself." I clunked.
"Carol tell me something about yourself. I would like to know more about you."
"I moved here with my mom. And my dad died when I was 6. No siblings. What about you?" I blankly say.
"I'm a nerd and I want to study criminology and psychology. One sibling.  I live here with my elder sister and his husband.  My parents are always away because of work."he causally states. "Why did you wanted to meet me up? After all these days? Why would I be interested in a crazy stalker." I asked him directly.

"Well when I saw you on the first day I fell in love with you. Believe me I fell for you with the way you smile. And then when I saw you dancing and when you helped us I couldn't help but admire you. With each passing day I learned something about you. The more I started to know your nature the more I fall for you. At first I was scared that you wouldn't want to know me if you found out I was a nerd. But now I couldn't help myself and at least be friend with you. And for the last question. You tell after all you came to meet me here." He smirk.

"Let's just say I was curious after all." I smirk with my reply. "Well it was nice meeting you and all but I really have to leave. I'm getting late. Sorry."

"No it's okay. This is my fault after all. You waited for an hour when you didn't have to. The least I can do is walk you home." he says with a guilt.

"Oh no. It's a five minute walk from here. I can go. you don't need to walk me." I say.

"Please I want to know more and make up for coming late." He says giving me those irresistible puppy looks.

"Okay." I replied. And with that we both left.

All the way home he was walking by my side. I felt something in my stomach but then again I also have to tell him that I can't be with him. It would be wrong in my part if I did. The walk home was quick and silent. As soon as we reached my house we stopped. From the corner of my eye i could see my mom sitting in balcony.

"So does this means we are friends now?" Zac asked me.

"I would lie if I say yes. Zac I can't be friend with you. Sorry." And with this I run into the house. My mother saw everything I know. But even she knew it was better not to speak about it."
