Callie Rose

Chapter 7

Callie Rose:

After leaving Evan's house, I walked down the street for five minutes panicking a little thinking I was lost but then had the biggest sigh of relief when the driver pulled up in his car beside me.

He stared at me with a look of disgust as he told me to get in the car, he was supposed to pick me up earlier than now and claimed he missed an important event he was originally supposed to be free for because of me.

It turned out my phone had a tracking app that I didn't know of that notified my parents when I left school when I wasn't supposed too.
When I got home I received a call from them scolding me, they asked me what happened but I decided against letting them know, they probably wouldn't care and even if they did they wouldn't be doing anything much about it.

It wasn't easy to lie to my parents, especially considering the fact that I had never done it before, I felt guilty but I saw no reason to tell them the truth either, if I did Lord knows what they would do, I didn't want them to pull me out of school with only one day in, I wanted a high school experience more than anything and I wasn't going to let this small misunderstanding stand in the way of me getting it.

Though I didn't think much about what happened I still felt disgusted by it, I hated the way those boys hands felt on my body, it felt dirty and violating, and I never wanted anything like that to happen to me ever again.

I hopped in the shower after talking to my parents over the phone and made sure to harshly scrub my skin till it was sore and red. I knew it wouldn't erase what happened but it made me feel slightly clean at least for a few hours before returning back to my original state.

That night as I lay in bed, I think about what happened at school today, I think about Evan, the way I got nervous when we were in close proximity, the way my skin tingled when his met mine, the way I felt when he called me Rosie.

I didn't know what to think about him, I knew I was grateful to him for saving me, I had no idea what would have gone down if he didn't, and he made me feel nice, unlike the way I felt with the boys from school.

I wasn't totally clueless I knew what these feelings were, but I needed them to leave more than anything, I was engaged to be married and even if I didn't want to, it was a way for me to show gratitude to my parents for everything they had ever done for me.

I try to convince myself the way I felt about Evan wasn't a crime, I thought he was handsome and he made me feel certain ways which were normal, but I needed to get rid of those feelings, which would be easy to do, it's not like Evan and I were friends or anything what were the odds we would ever even speak again, I surely didn't have enough courage to go up to him and talk so us talking again would be highly unlikely unless he approached me.

My mood brightens up a bit when I remember Rowan and Grayson, at least I made some friends, so apart from everything else that happened towards the end of the day my first day of school was decent.

After calming my thoughts I finally go to sleep with thoughts of tomorrow.

The weekend couldn't come soon enough.

The week was uneventful, I woke up went to school came back did homework and went to bed, apart from engaging with Rowan daily which was mostly what kept me sane I didn't really talk to anyone else, I didn't see much of Evan the whole week, we had one class together which he rarely showed up to and when he tried to reach out to me I tried my best to avoid him, my routine went on repeat for the next four days until my parents came back.
