Black Rose (completed)

chapter thirty one

Sarah's POV

  I sat in the library fiddling with my pen, I had a free period so I decided to use it to work on one of my assignments. but I couldn't, simply because my mind was not there. I kept thinking about what happened on Saturday with Steven, this morning I couldn't bring myself to look into his eyes. I had came up with a silly excuse not to be in the cafeteria today because I was not ready to face him yet. Not after what happened.
I know I told myself I wouldn't like anyone, not anytime soon but I guess that was not for me to decide. My heart had betrayed me, because it was longing for Steven. When he kissed me I responded immediately, my body had betrayed me.

Steven is a nice guy and he seems perfect but he had a secret he's hiding, I've had that feeling since we met. He was just too good to be true. I didn't mind the funny rumors about him because I know everyone has a dark past, and with all the attention the girls were giving him he seems not to be interested in any of them, only me!
I knew he had feelings for me, I saw it in his eyes. I had a little feeling I might get hurt if I give Steven a chance but right now I am confused, I know how I feel about him and if he feels the same way, that's all that matters right? But then why does it feel strange.

I heard someone sit next to me and I turned to see it was Sam gosh! just when I need a little time to myself you have to pop up your irritating face! I want to be left alone!
"  Samuel Young " I said not turning to look at him.

" its been a long time you call me that "

" time do flies "

" how are you Sarah "

" I am fine " after all this while he wants to greet  " what do want?

" are you still mad at me? He asking running his finger on the edge of the table

" you came to check? I said dryly

" Sarah you might not like to hear what I have to say but I'll say it anyway "

" I don't want to hear it " I said bluntly

" I don't want you to be hurt, after what I did to you I feel guilty, and I wouldn't want it to happen again "

" glad to know you're remorseful " 

" Steven is not the right guy for you, he's trouble " he said looking down at his fingers

I laughed " oh Sam please "

" I'm serious. He is not innocent "

I looked at him with disbelief, he really is unbelievable. He thinks he can wade Steven away from me because he's what? jealous?
I don't seem to understand, he was the one that broke up with me.

" Sarah he's a bad guy you don't wanna get involve with " he continued

" and you're the good guy abi?

" I know I hurt you, but I did actually love you. " he started

" save it Sam! Just save it! I cut him off

" you wouldn't understand, I do want to tell you everything but I don't know if I can trust you "

" trust me?
What is he talking about

" a lot of things have happened, but just know this, Steven doesn't like you, he has a reason for been close to you " he stated

I raised my eyebrows at him

" I'm not blind, I've seen you two together and I know you hang out at home too. "

" listen Sam, Steven is not perfect, but he's a nice person. You don't have to make him look bad simply because you don't want us together. Which I don't see a reason why it is any business of yours who I choose to or not to hang out with "

" the truth is right in front of you, just fit in the pieces. Why did he pop himself suddenly into your life when we just broke up and why did he choose to transfer here, of all the schools he could have gone to, and why the hell did he leave Concordia in the first place "

" he left because he had some issues.........a fight with some students " I defended

" did he tell you what the fight was about?

" I didn't ask because I don't care!!!  It's none of my business "

" there was no fight! He got expelled!

" what! No its not true "

" that's the truth and if you think I'm lying ask him about the fight and hear what he has to say, he'll not tell you anything because there's nothing to tell. There was no fight!
After you've talk to him if you have any doubt, even a little come to me and I'll tell you everything. There's a lot of things you don't know about him and what he has done "

I just looked at him shocked.
He got up and left, I stare at his seat and his words kept ringing in my ears
' expelled ' no it can't be. Steven was not expelled  I told myself. its just a lie.
