Chapter 11 - His Rich Aroma Of Lavender

"Get ready" Jared kicks my door "I'm driving you"

My brother and driving. When did the fuck did that happen? I'm pretty he got his license taken off of him. Lord, help me.

His footsteps disappear down the stairs as I drop out of bed. Half an hour later, I'm eating tea and toast, staring at SRK on the TV

"You're going to be late" Jared opens the front door.

"Come on, I need to the hang of driving again" He urges as I get up and storm into the passenger seat.

"Why can't dad drive? You are going to kill me" I moan

"I need to collect a friend, he's got a brother your age"

"Oh, that makes it okay then"

"Shut up, muppet"

"Idiot"

He turns the keys, revving the engine as we start moving. a couple of streets later, he stops in front of a door, honking as two figures step out.

"Hey, Jared" the older one climbs into the car, doing a handshake. "Cain, get in" He yells at his younger brother who slums into the seat.

Wait...

Cain

I instantly turn around to see if my ears were deceiving me but it was true. He was there. "Hey Cain" I wave

"Rachel, hey" he smiles as he sits up straight. Cain was very weird, one minute he was cracking some dead joke and the next he was quiet.

"See it won't be so bad" Jared nudges my shoulder

"Shut up"

The rest of the ride, my ears were destroyed by some crap rap music. Boys have no music taste, it's either about drug, woman, and sex

"Get out midget" Jared pulls into the school car park

"Aw love you too brother" I push the door open and step out. I'm instantly hit by Aaron's cold stare as Mae hover over him.

PDA much?

 Behind me, Cain also steps out which makes Aaron's eyes fall out. I slam the door shut, walking through the gates and ignoring him.

"Miss Kristian, can you share your calculator with Mr. Usher"

"No"

"Miss Kristian" the teacher give the threatening look. The emphasis in my name; I can tell I have no choice.

I push my chair back and walk to the other side of the classroom, dropping beside the jerk.

His golden, sleepy eyes flicker up and just like that in a second flicker down.
"Aaron, get up" I whisper as the teacher stares at him. She walks around the room but her eyes on us.

Bitch, please we aren't making out.

"She's staring at you" I lean in to whisper into his ear but I'm hit by his rich aroma of lavender.

He looks up, spreading his arm as he yawns till his left arm falls onto my back. All throughout he was the ionic smirk plastered on his face

"Get your arm off me" I grit my teeth as silence settles around the room.

"No" he pulls his chair close to me so our legs are touching.

Why am I so comfortable?

Why can't I push him away?

He leans closer to me, brushing his nose against my cheek as his arms reach forward, snatching my calculator.

WHAT

All that for a calculator

Ugh

He's evil

He smirks as he pushes his chair back. I'm an idiot.

"Give that back" I lean in closer to his chest as his lamppost of arm holds it back.

"Not till you tell me what's going on between you and Cain" His voice turns cold, covered in jealousy

Wait...Was he jealous?

"Nothing. We are just friends" I shrug

"Yeah then why did he come with you to school?" He growls

"Because our brothers are friends. Why do you even care? You tried to kill me. You monster"

"Darling, I'm not the monster in this fairytale" he whispers in my ear before tucking the calculator into his pocket

"It's mine now"

***

I hated how he had control over every situation. Every encounter left a hole in my heart, something only Usher would complete

It was dangerous...

Unpredictable...

In truth, he was dangerous, unpredictable and exactly what I craved but I couldn't.

But I couldn't trust him after what I saw

The dark Aaron...

The true Aaron...

"Rachel, Mr. Salem was looking for you" Alvin calls as he walks past in the corridor.

"What was that about?" Munni asks, slamming her locker shut as we walk through the corridor

"One way to find out I guess" I turn the corner to Mr. Salem office. I knock the office door before barging in.

"Rachel"

"Sir"

"I have a job for you, we have a new student starting and I need you to show him around" He spins in his seat, a pile of paperwork is on his desk as he ditches it leading me to the main office. I stood in front of the door as he hands me papers

"Kay Sir" I nod as the door behind me opens and darkness blocks my view.

"Guess who?" The cheeky voice penetrates through my ear.

The voice I'd recognize anywhere.
