A Rose In The Wild

30- Mind if I sit here (Ash's POV)

I was driving back from LA, Ness beside me.

We had stayed at my uncle's home for three days and as far as I was concerned, life in school had turned into havoc in the last three days.

As demanded Ryder had reported to me all the information every day.

First, Rose had developed some serious anger issues in just three days.

Basically, she had punched a guy in literature, had slapped someone and kneed him in the balls cause he wouldn't move out of the way of her new Porsche, so yeah everyone had kept out of her way.

Second, she was nowhere to be seen in her apartment, it was left unlocked, it had all the furniture in it and even most of her clothes had been in the closet.

Third, there was a new entry in our school, the most infamous, Nate Wild and I could not wait to get my hands around his neck.

He had developed a habit of sitting next to Rosa at lunch.

I am going to kill that bastard if he even tried to lay a hand on my Rosa.

He didn't know me as far as I was concerned and I had no idea why was he at Edgewood.

He was the only son of the main American don Demien Wild and was known for his illegal racing.

I drove while my mind stayed on fire.

"Fucking hell!! calm down Ash and slow Down," my sister yelled in the passenger seat.

She knew very well that nothing would happen to us but she had always loved her dramatics more than me.

I rolled my eyes but slowed down considerably.

We were back at Edgewood before I even knew it, it was 4 AM so I had school soon, I planned on getting as much sleep as I could.

I got up, took a shower, got dressed.

My eyes felt like they were on fire from lack of sleep. I hadn't slept properly in the last three days.

I hadn't slept a wink right now, I just kept thinking about Rose. It was like she was the center of my thoughts now. Every now and then she would pop up and send me in a frenzy of worrying about her even though she had made it quite clear that she didn't want anything to do with me.

I drove to school.

And bam!! I saw Rose getting out of her car, Nate just behind her, following her like a lost puppy, he kept pulling her hair from the behind and she seemed seriously irritated by it.

Why can't he just leave her alone?

They were in the building now so I suppressed whatever traces of anger in me that I could and went to class, Calculus and economics had never seemed to stretch so long and then it was literature.

I didn't even know how excited I had been on the prospect of being together with Rose, even if just in the class.

"Oh, Ash baby!! Where have you been? You came to my trials. I saw you sitting in stands." she said hooking her arm in mine.

"But then you disappeared, you could have at least come and talk to me," she said fake disappointment in her voice.

"You know that bitch Rose, she stole the captain position from me. I Hate Her." Zoe said anger leaking from her voice.

And I felt the sudden urge to hide Rosa from the thoughts of this idiot.

"She got what she deserved," I said yanking my arm back. I looked down at her and she had these weird marks on her cheek as if she had been badly slapped. It was covered in makeup that caked her face. But it was still visible. Weird.
