Everything That Shines Ain't Always Gold

Chapter 8

(Marcus and Roz in the MM ↑↑)

Monday mornings had to be the worst. I had to wake up at 6:30 this morning just to get ready for my class at 8:15. Thank God for double majoring because I wouldn't have to deal with this two years from now. I'm in school for Dentistry and I'm I'm getting my D.M.D(Doctor of Dental Medicine) degree. My second major is dance. I've been obsessed with teeth and dance all of my life so I wanted to make a living out of it.

After getting dressed, I kissed Marcus on the forehead and I grabs my bag and left for the campus. When walking into my class, I seen Darrell.

"Hey, Roz," he greeted me.

"Hey, Darrell." I sat in my seat and pulled my phone out hoping that that would show him that I wasn't interested, but, sadly, he continued to talk to me.

"I didn't know you went out with Marcus. I thought y'all were best friends."

I smiled softly attempting to be pleasant. "Now, Darrell, I don't think that it's any of your business who j date or talk to."

"You're right. It's not," he says. "But isn't it Kyle's?"

I glared at him. "Me and Kyle are no longer together so get that out of your head."

He held his hands up as if he was surrendering. "My fault. I overstepped my boundaries. "

"Right."

For the rest of my school day, I managed to get stay awake and focus on my studies. This was a first time in a very long time I had been able to do this. Being that I was being beaten for so long, I would rarely get any sleep in fear of being beaten to my death bed. I don't have to worry about that anymore though.

When I got home from school, I decided to take a nap before Marcus came home, he was probably in class or working out. I just wanted to relax and get some shut eye to prepare myself for what I know we'll be doing tonight.
