Black Rose (completed)

chapter nine

Steven's POV

I sat through the evening program which is the last event for the day, not paying attention most of the time. I kept thinking of home, my mum and dad. I miss them and my two twin sisters too, my parents adopted them when I was ten, they are adorable and because they are also light skinned not many know they were adopted.
I wonder how my new life here will be, new school, new friends, I felt a little awful that I can't be honest with my new friends. I can't tell them the truth about my past and why I had to leave my former school because they'll resent me, my past is best kept secret. I thought of my old school, leaving was one of the biggest regrets of my life. But I had no other choice.
I turned and looked at my new friends, Michael was absent minded like me, Micah his twin was chatting on his phone, J-bee seem to be listening and the two girls were paying serious attention, Sarah was even taking notes.........

Sarah I thought, she reminded me so much of Diana, a girl I should not be thinking of. Her eyes, her slim figure was similar to Diana's, and just like Diana I know she was trouble.

" she'll melt under your stare" Jason whispered beside me.

" stop exaggerating " I said

" just saying the fact, you know you shouldn't. You know the rules " he said looking at Sarah

" yes I know, how can I forget "

" someone's got to keep an eye on you " he winked at me.

" I hear sir " I joked

"Can't wait to get out of this place " I  said frowning

"I thought you were enjoying yourself  "

"Nah just managing"

I looked at Sarah again and this time tried to keep Diana out of my mind.

****
After the evening program we had time to ourselves. The twins organized a little bash, close friends and few guys they met in the camp,  We were about 25 in all.

We picked a spot far away from the crowd behind one of the big halls, the place was quiet and secret. We lit a small fire and sat round it, I sat between two girls because Micah insisted we mingle. The girl by my right was a chubby short girl who looked tough and was silent most of the time, the one by my left was flirty, she had heavy makeup, her dress was too short and exposed. I won't deny I enjoyed the view. She sat a little too close to me and kept flashing her fake lashes seductively.

Micah stood up and brought out a bag, when he opened it I was surprised to see that it was filled with alcoholic drinks.
I guessed that's what took Michael home today.

"I thought alcohol was not allowed in the camp " someone yelled.

"Well no one has to know " Micah replied smirking

"Let's know each other first, everyone introduce yourself " Michael suggested.

We all introduced ourselves, and everyone got a drink except me. I noticed I was getting odd looks from some, but I know they won't believe I don't drink even if I told them so I just kept quiet. The doctor had warn me sternly and I had heed that warning, I didn't want to cause any trouble.

"I'll give a chance to anyone who has anything reasonable to say " Micah said bringing back the attention of everyone.

" oh I do have something " Michael said jumping up from where he was to the middle.
"Hi ladies " he starts
" my name is Michael, but you can call me mike, I'm a really cool guy, but this conference has been a little boring for me and I need Someone to light up my mood. So which one of  you would like to kiss me?
