Rose pov
Today I got up earlier than usual to avoid any awkward situations and to get some revision done. I mostly didn't care about math science and English along as I had my music and art I was fine. But since last year I had been falling dangerously behind others in my class and I wanted to impress Mr. Haste.
Not like that
I only spent one lesson with him but I can tell that he is a hardworking teacher and really wants to help students get better. Plus he isn't to hard on the eye
And I want to make my dad proud. He like me doesn't really care about grades but he has invested so much in me I want to give him something back. He deserves to be happy; he hasn't much after what happened to mum.
I wake up Natalia then I have my breakfast and put the dishes in sink when Rhonda walks out just wearing my dad's shirt.
"You better wash that" she says giving me a dirty look "I aint no housewife"
"No you're just a tramp" I say leaving the house with an evil grin on my face
"Rose Maria Goldsmith Queen you better get back here and apologise" she say screaming at me while I flip her off.
Rhonda was a saggy cow faced woman who was half my dad's age and half my height. She always had on about 20 layers of makeup and a brightly coloured red lipstick that went way over her lips. She wore tight clothing (when she wasn't wearing my dad's tops) to show off whatever she thought she had. I didn't see it but my dad did.
Ever since that day our trolleys bumped in the supermarket He has been smitten like a little boy under the witches spell. God, how I curse that day. Then how she advised to my dad that I do therapy. It's just like she wanted me to hate her.
Stupid
I turn my thoughts away from her when I see Jamie walking out of a bus in front of me instinctually I run up to him and jump on his back
"Guess who" I say basically strangling him trying to cover his eyes
"Rose you scared the shit out of me" Jamie says carrying on his back as he carries on walking.
Jamie and I have been friends since forever so I don't remember. But my earliest memory of him is my fondest. It was the first day in nursery when the suns were brighter and the days were longer. Both I and Roxy wanted to play in the sandbox full of plastic fish and gold (basically a three year olds heaven). But there was only room for one she shoved my out which made my favourite glittery pink puffy skirt muddy then named herself the queen of the sand box. And me being the shy 3 year old I was I cried my eyes out .until Jamie stole a jewel from the sandbox for me shaped like a ring and named me his queen of jewels.
And I still, to this day wear that ring on my necklace.
We told each other everything and did everything together or not at all. So that was why I felt so betrayed when found out he was going out with Roxy and didn't tell me for the whole of the summer.
Once we had gotten to the school gate I jumped off his back and pulled him into an embrace.
"Whoa what's this for" he said staggering backwards
"I just love you and I never want to get into a fight with you again"
"You two" he whispers wrapping his arms around me.
I spot Mr Haste staring at us from a distance as soon as we make eye contact he turns away and I break the hug with Jamie and link his and my arm just as Roxy walks up to us
"Good you're not hugging anymore thought I would have to pry you off of him" she says laughing "any one would think that he was your boyfriend".
"Nope not in a million years" I say laughing looking at Jamie. Instantly his face turned sad and I felt a pang of regret in my boy.
"Whatever lets go in" he grumbles unlinking arms with me walking through the gate not even looking at me but ahead.
