Twisted

Chapter 4

I woke up the next day in the same spot i fell asleep but Rosy wasn't there. I figured she had gone home already since she had to get ready for school. I walked upstairs to my bedroom to get ready as well. I was startled when i walked into the room to find Rosy sitting on the edge of the bed talking on the phone. Fortunately she sat with ber back facing me so she didn't notice me walk in. I tip-toed not so silently to the door but she seemed too engrossed in the conversation that she didn't notice anything. I had successfully completed my mission until her words caught my attention.

"I'm not ready for this mom..........I know............Can't you just work it out?............Sure. I love you both. Bye."
She let out a deep sigh after hanging up and the sadness could not be mistaken in it. I decided to talk to her about it later when she seemed better.
With my mind made up, i went downstairs and had my breakfast first. I realized that both my parents weren't home. My mom had left me a note on the fridge telling me where they were, asking me to be careful and to call if i needed anything. After having my cereal i went back upstairs to find Rosy all dressed up and putting the finishing touches of her outfit. I didn't know hpw sje got her things here but i didn't bother asking. Rosy was the shy type but she sure wasn't shy to flaunt her fashion skills and damn does she look good in them.
"Hey", i greeted.
"Oh hi. Just woke up?" Rosy asked.
"Nope", i replied, popping the p. "Just had breakfast actually. You can go to the kitchen and make yourself some breakfast."
"Sure" she said. She grabbed her stuff and headed downstairs to fix her meal as i suggested.
"You know where everything is" i slightly raised my voice so she could hear me.
"Yeah yeah. Hurry up though"
"Okay mom" i replied sarcastically.

I didn't see it but i knew she had rolled her eyes at that. She wasn't so shy when she was in the midst of her friends and i liked that.

A few minutes later, Rosy had helped me pick out a simple and cute outfit. I wore a black spaghetti tank top, white ripped jeans and blue-black converse shoes. I had completed it with a blue-black hoodie as well as tie my hair up in a bun.

We were ready to leave. I locked up the door and took my key along. Who knew how long my folks would stay out? We walked to school since it wasn't too far.

We arrived about 20 minutes before classes started. This gave us time to go to our lockers and grab our books and also make small talk with a few passers-by.

After returning the greeting of one of the students in Rosy and I's history class, i turned back to her to continue our conversation about school gossip. We weren't really the kind of people to talk about that but i guess we were bored or something.

"I heard Jenna and Brandon are back together" ,Rosy whispered.
Jenna was one of the popular girls from school and she was dating Brandon. People said she was a slut but she acted too innocent. I didn't know her too well but i sort of believed it. But well, who am i to judge?

"They always do. In fact, I'm starting to think they don't like each other as much as i thought."
"Yeah, me too"
Rosy suggested that we start heading to class so i grabbed my stuff and we made our way together to Chloe and Melissa's lockers first to find them.
They always came late so we might get them now.

When we reached, they weren't there. Rosy and I craned our necks to check if they were coming from the entrance. I didn't see them but i still kept looking. Maybe I skipped them because our hall was very crowded. Rosy looked around to check if they were coming from another direction.

"Hey let's go talk to Joel. He's right over there". She pointed to a calm Joel removing his books from his locker.
"Umm...sure" I hesitated.
I had a feeling that Joel was going to be trouble for me.

We walked up to him and said hi. His locker was not far from Melissa's so i could see whether they had arrived from where i stood. He answered us with a broad smile and i had to admit, he did look pretty handsome. We talked a little and after some time, we decided to head to our various classes. Melissa and Chloe were still not in so we figured they'd come late.

As we walked down the halls, Rosy took a turn towards her Math class, leaving Joel and i to walk together. The atmosphere wasn't awkward, neither was it comfortable. It was something else i couldn't describe.
I expected him to take a turn towards his class as well but he kept walking in my direction.
"What class do you have?", i asked out of curiosity.
"English"
I also had English and that explained why we were walking in the same direction.
"Oh" was all i could say.

We reached the class and i scanned the room with my eyes for a seat. The class was half filled. I found two empty at the back and walked over to make myself comfortable. In a minute, Joel took a seat beside me. I could see the looks people were giving me, mostly girls. I understood them. He was quite handsome and cool. But i still felt uncomfortable.

Class was over soon. Melissa and Chloe came late as expected so we met after first class.
Soon enough, another day was over and i decided to head home to have a bath and catch some good sleep.
