The Secret Roses

Chapter 13: Thunderstorm Ahead!

After History class, I darted out from the room and went straight to my locker. I put my books and school things away. I went to the front entrance and grabbed my outside shoes. I slipped them on.

I grabbed my bag and sat down on the bench, right outside the school. I waited for Rosie to come out. Waiting, waiting, waiting.

After 10 minutes of waiting, she didn't arrived. Hmm. "I wonder where she could be," I wondered aloud. I got my phone out and called Rosie's number. It rang, and rang for another 5 seconds. No answer.

Then it left me with her "Thanks for calling!" message. I didn't bother leaving her a voicemail, knowing she would just ignore it.

I texted her instead saying, 'Hey, I'm right outside the school. Where are you?'

'I'm talking to Bella right now. Don't worry about me, Rhea. I'll come by at your house a little later, bye." Was her reply.

Okay, now I really have a bad feeling about this.

I went and searched every inch of the school, hoping to find either Bella or Rosie. Nothing. I went to the place where Rosie and I are always hanging out-the park! Or course, duh!

I grabbed my stuff and ran to the park. "Please, Rosie, please be there.." I muttered under my breath.

I was right. There they are. Rosie and Bella, right there, standing, looking at each other's eyes. Rosie narrowed her eyes, and so did Bella. Were they fighting?

"Well, he's my cousin!" Said Rosie.

"Hmph, it doesn't look like you were showing him some love," Bella stated.

Rosie gasp. "You witch!" As Rosie was about to tackle-and possibly choke her too-I went straight forward towards her and pulled her back.

"Rosie!" I shouted. We both fell backwards on the ground.

Bella looked down at us while smirking. I really do NOT trust that girl.
