Dares with the Boy Who Doesn't Care

Chapter Thirteen(Rose POV)

At first I didn't think Mark would actually take me shopping with him. Mainly because of everything that happened today resulting in him and his friend, Leo, getting three days of community service. If that doesn't take you out of the mood for shopping I don't know what does.

But Mark still took me with him to the Coex mall. At least he said it was a mall. In my opinion it was much too extravagant to be a public place like a mall. 90% of the stores in there were completely unheard-of to me. One particular boutique did catch my eye though. Caspian a.k.a Mark's family owned store.

I went inside for actually the first time ever.  It was, wow. The store itself had diamonds and crystals but the clothes were unbelievable. In quality and in price. Mark, however didn't buy anything for himself he bought things in girl sizes. It took me a minute and three stores later to realize what he was actually doing. He was buying clothes for me. More clothes than I had at home and certainly way more expensive than anything I have there.

I told him to stop, even grabbing his wrist. He looked at me intently with his scary dark eyes and said that I look cheap if I don't wear expensive things. An insult, but it didn't leave a dent as large as the one he was leaving in his bank account so all was forgiven.

Once we finished going through almost every store, I had an almost completely new wardrobe, full of things I'll probably never wear, admittedly I'll wear some things especially the cute animal faced sweaters I got.

Keeping in mind what happened yesterday with Cameron, I asked him to drop me off at the nearest bus stop to my house. Keeping in mind how late it was and how I was a frail little girl with hella bags to carry he said no. He dropped me off in front of my house before carrying almost all of the bags to my front door.

He didn't go inside like Cameron did. I think he had more respect than that. Whatever it was I liked it and I smiled at him as he drove away.

Now it's past two o'clock in the morning and I'm still thinking about him! I need to go to sleep! I have to find a job tomorrow!

I have a lovely dream featuring none other than the Dark Knight himself Mark. I hate myself for the remainder of the weekend.

I managed to pay the rent by collecting money from small jobs like babysitting for my first bus driver, Ms. Evans, and I even washed a few cars, garnering a few stares from patrons I'm sure would be great friends with Cameron.

The dreaded Monday appears. This one is especially unwanted because it marks the day Wellsworth and Lee become one. All of the scary kids who ride the bus with me everyday will be spending even more time with me. My head hurts just thinking about it.

When I arrive in class someone is sitting in my usual seat. Actually there are a lot of students sitting in a lot of students' usual seats. Even the Flawless Four, Mark isn't in this class, have moved all the way to the very back of the classroom due to some Lee girls siting in their seats.

They're lucky their seat isn't being taken by Stephen, like mine is. However, there is an empty seat next to him. The only empty seat in the entire class.

I hold my breath as I walk over to it slowly, at this rate Ms.Avery will kick me out of class for standing up once the lesson starts. Luckily she's not in here yet, but unluckily Stephen is and I'm right beside him.

I don't make eye contact with him as I try to slide out the seat next to him. He stops it with one foot. Everyone in class stops what they're doing to stare, as if to ask what I'm doing. I know this seat was empty for a reason but it's the last one left so I don't have any options here.
