When Thorn Met Rose

Chapter 29

Rose's point Of View.

Ella and I walked up the  steps of the school. Gary gave Ella and I a shy smile.

''Ladies.'' He said avoiding my gaze.

''Good morning'' Ella and I said.

Gary slightly shook his head and didn't even look at me. I guess he probably had to clean up all the posters around the school. Because when I entered the school I didn't see any of the posters from Monday. The halls were empty and seemed as usual. I just hoped that the people would all had gone back to their usual selves. 

This was Ella's first day back as well, she had stayed home from school. 

''Look it all seems normal.' Ella said and spun around. I laughed, feeling like maybe today wasn't going to be too bad.

 We walked to our lockers and got our books for the first three periods of this morning. 

''Isn't that Thorn's friend?'' Ella suddenly said looking behind me. 

I raised and eyebrow and turned around. 

Alice was walking towards us, I wondered what she wanted. Maybe to see how Theo was. I smiled at her but she just glared at me. My smile was wiped away from my face as her glare got intense. 

She stopped towards me and stopped right in front of me.

'''You fucking shit.'' She shouted making me flinch in surprise.

''What?''

''You stole Theodore from me!'' She yelled. 

''Hey'' Ella said but Alice just shot her an evil look that shut Ella up.

''What are you talking about?'' I asked, surprised by her choice of words. 

''Don't act like you don't know.'' 

''I-''

''You fucking oblivious whore, never mind there is honestly no point. I'm just glad I made those posters about your fucking ass.'' Alice hissed and walked away. Leaving Ella and I staring in shock as she left. 

''A...'' I opened my mouth but no words seemed to be coming out. 

Did Theodore know about this? I hoped not, I didn't want to get in the way of a friendship, but then again... I don't know. 

''Are you ok?'' Ella asked. 

I turned to face her and nodded, still shocked. She made the posters? I couldn't believe what some people did for the people they loved. 

The halls began filling up with people and surprisingly so nobody seemed to even notice me anymore. I wondered if anyone else knew that Alice had made up the stupid posters.

Ella and I parted with a hug and agreed on seeing each other during lunch.

I walked to English, feeling quite upset about everything. Things were changing so much and I couldn't quite keep up with them. I wasn't even sure how I was suppose to react to anything anymore. Was I surprised that Alice had done that? I wasn't entirely sure to be honest. I felt like deep down I knew. Did Theo? I hated doubting Theo, but what if h was part of it and just... No. He wouldn't. 

I walked into English class and sat down in my usual spot. The place where Theodore usual sat was empty. I sighed, I wondered how he was feeling. 

Halfway through the lesson Ms. Crow reminded us that we only had two days until we had to bring in the play. I felt a warm glow in my chest as I thought of how Theodore and I had began working together. It seemed like it was ages ago. 

''Remember that the best play will be performed by the drama club on Monday.'' Ms Crow said.

A people groaned and murder ''but it's the holidays next week. '' do we have to come and watch it?''

Ms Crow replied with; ''There will be food after'' and most people seemed to nod and grin. 

All I could think about was if Theodore would be able to go home. He could even stay at my place. 

The bell rang and I gathered my things, the class emptied quite quickly, leaving me and Ms, Crow alone.

''How's Theodore?'' She asked.

I stopped and looked at her. 

''He's doing better.'' I replied.

''If you can't finish the play then that's fine, you and him have a decent excuse'' She said.

''Oh, no it's fine, we are working on it.'' I smiled. 

''I'll see you Friday.'' Ms Crow gave me a smile and looked down at her table. It seemed like she knew something was going on. But then again, the whole school knew that there was something going on between Theo and I.
