Broken String Of Fate

Indirect Rejection

*Rose's POV*

I hated being the new girl which means having to meet strangers again and forced them to be your friends. Well I wouldn't necessarily mean 'force' at least. I just dislike the idea of people staring at me as if I did something wrong which I know I didn't. Except being new I guess. You might think people judge you but in reality they're only curious about you.

My parents wanted me to transfer to a new school. This means saying goodbye to my old friends whom I felt so comfortable with. It's so exhausting to have to make new friends for the rest of your life. Can't we be happy for the ones we have at the moment? Or probably it's best being alone since you don't have to deal any problems or drama that sort of thing. Gee, what an introverted person I am. You know why I had to transfer? Because we moved out and my new home was further away from my old school. Tragic.

"Good morning class! As you can see, we have a new student here today. Be on your best behaviour okay. Dear, please do introduce yourself," my new teacher addressed as Ms Smith, gave a polite order. I looked at her and then the students. They looked so eagerly to know about me. Did I mentioned how much I hated stares?

I didn't know what to say honestly. But I managed pretty well. I think.

"Um, hi everyone. I'm Rose. I just moved here from another town and uh, it's my first time here too. I, uh, hope you guys are kind enough to have me as your friend," I regretted every word.

Kind enough? Rose, you're making it sound as if you think they were brats! Good job, now everyone hates you. I should have said 'accept'. Great, it can't be undone now. Surprisingly, the students grinned. None of them seem to be turning head to head whispering each other about me. Have I misjudged this people?

"Thank you Rose. I will have to assign you to your seats now. Hm.. you can sit next to Richard over there," Ms Smith pointed at my right direction and I could see only one empty seat left. It's nice but the problem was .. It's all the way at the back! What's more was that I'll be sitting with a boy. Yeah I know I'm overreacting about this but I couldn't click well with boys.

Yeah I admit. I couldn't talk to boys. I was always with the girls and it seem to be easy for me to get along with them. I ain't a lesbian though. My celebrity crush's a guy, you might refer to him one of the most iconic man, Johnny Depp. I know, I know. And I never had romantic feelings towards the same gender.

In fact, I always questioned myself if I had somekind of a magnetic power that made boys to repel from me. Maybe it's in my blood. I don't know. Anyway, I noticed a few gasps around the room. Seems like they were shocked that I got to sit with Richard. Popular boy are you? Whatever, I couldn't care. He didn't looked like he was listening to my introduction.

I walked towards my seat and sat on it. I could see him looking out at the window with my corner eye. I wasn't sure if I should say anything. Ms Lee was teaching and I definitely didn't want to make a bad impression. So I stayed quiet and still.

"You shouldn't be here,"

I turned to him. Did he just talked? He was still looking out at the window.

"I'm sorry?" I asked to confirm.

He turned towards me and.. holy cow. I almost gasped hard. Not like that kind of way! I meant by that he looked like.. like a hot beast. I never seen such flawless features. Quite an ironic description I must say. But woah, I thought I could feel my heart skipped many beats.

"I said you shouldn't be here. Your parents are stupid to move here in this town," he said.

Then again, feelings can change. So he did listen and his comments were not neccessary.
