She Is The He-Devil's Property

Chapter seven:

                             ~Ashton Hunt~

The sentence that Ms Lee said kept on repeating again and again in my head. "Apologies Rosia and Ashton. You two will work together."

It was unbelievable. Me working with Rosia on this project is the best thing that's ever happened to me. I'm so happy I got her as my partner.

"Hi." She smiled. Her eyelids flickered before she looked up and met my eyes.

"Shall we get started?" I asked with a straight face.

"Sure." She replied.

"Okay so first thing first. Do you want our story to end in good way or in a bad way?" I asked running a hand through my hair.

"Obviously in a good way. I hate stories that end in a bad way." She frowned.

"That's okay with me. Got any ideas so far?" I asked grabbing a chair to sit next to her.

"Let me think." She said opening her notebook. She started writing a few things while I just stared at her in awe. Rosia has this unique and indescribable beauty. Her beauty is very rare and it's not the type of beauty that you see normally. As soon as she was done writing her notes I snapped out of my thoughts. "There! I have an idea." She said excitedly.

"Okay what you got?"

"Why can't we be a couple that is madly in love with each other but one of our parents won't accept our relationship because of something that happened in their past?"

Thinking about her idea I replied "I think that's a great idea."

"Great! We got a story." She smiled.

"So this story is based on a couple that is madly in love but one of their parents won't accept their relationship because of something that happened in their past?" I asked making sure.

"Yep that's pretty much it." She said writing in her notebook. Rosia and I continued talking about our project until the period was over.

"Alright class that's it for today. This week you and your partner have to work on your dialogue which will be due next week. You must write your dialogue this week and then hand me a copy next week. You may go." Ms Lee dismissed us. Before leaving the class I quickly grabbed Rosia's wrist.

"Can we meet at my house to do the dialogue?"

"Yeah sure. When?" She smiled.

"How about this Friday?" I asked realizing that I was still holding her hand.

"Friday it is."

"We'll go home together and start working." I grabbed my bag finally letting go of her hand.

"Okay." She said before sneezing like a kitten.

"Bye Ashton."

"I love it when she says my name. "Bye Rosia."

~Rosia Banks~

After school I went straight home since I wasn't feeling well. I felt like my flu was getting worse. When I got home I did my homework quickly so that I can eat and then sleep. After finishing my homework I went straight to my room and changed into some warm clothes since the weather was changing. I slipped into bed and just stared a the ceiling thinking about only one thing.

Ashton.

I can't believe we're doing a project together. Not just any project, a project about a love story. I must admit that I'm excited to work on the project with him but I'm also kind of nervous. Today when he touched my hand, there was spark. It's like there was electricity flowing through our hands whenever they touched. As I was deep in my thoughts my mom came in my room with a cup of hot chocolate. My favorite.

I smiled as she was walking towards my bed. "I made you some hot chocolate so that you can get better." She said with a smile.

"Thanks Mom! This will definitely make me feel better." I said getting up so that I can drink the hot chocolate.

"How are you feeling?"

"I feel like my flu is getting worse but I'm sure if I rest I'll feel better." I sipped on my hot chocolate.

"And your bruise?"

"It's getting better." I replied.

"Why don't you stay home tomorrow and get better?" She suggested.

"I don't like missing school because I end up missing on school work and that annoys me."

"But it won't help going to school and sniffing the whole day." She said with a worried face. I thought about what she said and it made sense for me.

"Okay fine I'll stay home but just for tomorrow."

"Okay good. I'll be home tomorrow so I'll be able to take care of you the whole day." She said while pulling the covers over me.

"That sounds perfect."

"Dave said that he has been invited to his bosses house for dinner on Thursday night and would like us to come with." Mom told me.

"Well I'm not sure if I'll be better by Thursday but I'll try to rest enough."

"No problem sweetie. Do you have a nice dress to wear for Thursday?" She asked.

"No I don't have."

"I'll get you a dress tomorrow and you can try it on here at home." Mom stood up walking over to the door. "

Okay." I smiled feeling happy.

"I'll be downstairs if you need anything. Get some rest sweetie."

"Love you Mom." I closed my eyes.

"Love you too honey." She closed the door. As soon as I closed my eyes I drifted off into a deep sleep.
