"You are still beautiful in my eyes even with acne and marks covering your face"
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Everyone knows that acne can be very troublesome if you don't treat it with care -especially when it leaves an ugly mark b...
After lunch, I hurried to the next class. I was extremely distracted for the next few classes, I can't even copy down notes because the words wait, meet ,car park can't get out of my head. It keeps on lingering in my thoughts.
Right now I'm at my last class-History, waiting for the bell to ring. Even though I hate the subject, I really want time to move slowly. Glancing at the clock while bouncing my legs every few minutes was making me nervous. I really didn't want to meet him after school. What was the guy thinking?
The movement of my legs stop as I turn to look at the clock on the wall for the millionth time.
How did the time went by so fast!
In just another minute the bell is going to ring and I was not ready to face him at all.
56....57...
Quick, think Rose. I thought as I bite down on my thumb.
58...59....
"Class is over and remember to review todays lesson, we will have a small quiz next week," Ms. Rina said after she ended class, all the students started to packed their stuff ready to leave for the day.
I quickly shoved everything into my bag and rush out from the classroom not even bothering to stop by my locker to put my stuff. Finally I reach the exit while trying to squeeze myself out from the crowd of students . My main goal was to get out from this school - find Jasmine's car - get in and go.
I stood on my tippy toes trying to search her car in the sea of cars park at the parking lot , but no matter how I couldn't find it at all. Did she perhaps forgotten about the time? I was getting anxious by every minute even though I tried bouncing on the spot to calm myself down while pulling my hoodie lower so that passersby's can't look at my acne face at the same time I was hoping Jared was not out from the school building yet.
20 minutes passed and still nowhere of Jasmine's car. Suddenly my phone message tone sounded, I unlocked my phone and look at the incoming message.
Jessica----- I'm sooooooooo sorry Rose, I forgot to pick you up. Can you ask Alex to drop you at the bakery. I'll make it up to you ~ xoxo
I can't believe this is happening! I was absolutely speechless.
Without wasting time I quickly dial Alex's number to see if she was still around the school. My anxiety was not getting any better by the moment as the dialing tone was taking a long ass time to reach her plus more than 30 minutes has passed I doubt Jared was still in the school.
Come on Alex.......Pick up Alex! PICK UP THE PHONE!!
"Boo," I jumped and immediately turned around as I feel a hot breath lingered near the nape of my neck. Lo and behold, there stood the dashing Jared Peterson behind me who was smiling brightly while waiting for my response.
Again I was speechless as I look at him and stuttered, " J-Ja-Ja-Jared, you're here already?"
"Yeah?" he questioned while raising one eyebrow, "Didn't I say to wait for me during recess?"
Before I could answered him back, Alex's striking voice came out from the receiver
"HELLO~ Rose? Rosie? Are you there?"
"Alex! hold on a sec, but can yo-" I was cut off by Jared when he grab my phone and pressed on the red button then putting away my phone into his pocket.
"Hey! What are you doing? Give me my phone back," I glared at him holding my hand out.
"You don't have a ride right?" he asked.
I just shrugged my shoulders in reply while still having my hand held out to him. Jared look down on my hands and then look up to me in a very cute manner like a puppy asking for food, but seriously what is wrong with this dude I wondered. Again he looked down to my hand and instead of returning my phone he slap his muscular palm on mine and grab hold of it dragging me along with him to the parking lot.
"Jared- wait! hold on! Where are you going?" I shouted as he drag me until we stood in front of a killer bike.
Jared without saying anything pick up one of the helmets and wore it on me then he himself did the same. He got on the bike and signal me to get on behind him, but I was hesitant because this was my first time.
Seeing that I was hesitant to get on it, Jared asked," do you trust me?"
I gulped down my fear and scan through the bike again then looked back at him nodding my head.
"Well, here goes nothing," muttering to myself as I walk towards him.
