Dares with the Boy Who Doesn't Care

Chapter Twenty-Three(Rose POV)

Noah has a field trip today, therefore he can't walk me to any of my classes. I miss him.

The words he told me the other day helped make everything clearer, but I've been having such a bad feeling since that day. I don't know what it is.

Even though I'm use to using my crutches now, it's still very tiring. I'm grateful for elevators now more than ever.

I arrive on the floor of my last class, Buisness. It's a class that's so necessary for the Wellsworth students because they'll be using it as soon as they graduate. For some of them even before then. I'm sure inheriting multimillion dollar companies isn't easy.

I should've been paying attention.

When I start falling I only think about how it's all my fault. But then someone grabs my wrist stopping me.

I'm wide eyed as I prepard to thank them, a male student I've never seen before, but then I realize that just like his hand is extended outwards, though it's holding me up, his leg is extended outwards too.

He tripped me! And I'm on crutches! One of which has fallen to the ground. I pull my hand away from him and struggle to keep balanced while he sends me a smirk.

His dark eyes sparkle as they scan over me making me suddenly self conscious. Wait why am I getting self conscious? I dont know what kind of person he is, but he just tripped me!

"Ya!" I say sounding like my absent friend. "Why did you do that?"

"Sorry, it's just that with all of those knights you always have by your side, I got a little jealous."

My response is a mouth-agaped stare.

He chuckles a little before croutching down and getting closer to me, more specifically my legs. He sits there and I'm getting so uncomfortable! He reaches for my crutch but his eyes stay trained on my legs.

"Hurry!" I whine remembering that I have a class I have to get to, and he probably does as well.

He does that same annoying chuckle, before standing back up with my crutch. He's closer to me now and I lower my head and my gaze. He slowly but finally gives me my crutch, but he doesn't let me go.

"Be careful. Without your knights around someone might snatch you up."

I shiver as his words reach my ear.

Moving past him, I try my best to run yet not fall with my stupid crutches.

I feel safe once I make it in class. The teacher, Mr.Banks, is reasonable so he doesn't get mad at me when I come in one minute late.

He begins calling role."Stephen Helders?" I hadn't even realized he was in this class. "He's not here? Well then, he must still be in the hospital." Oh that's why.

How could I forget?

Should we meet him somewhere now or just waste him as soon as he gets to school tomorrow?

How could I forget that?

They put him in the hospital. I put him in the hospital.

I can't meet the guys today. I tried so hard not to cry in my last class but seeing them would send me over.

So I'm sitting here in study hall, hoping that they don't come for me. My "knights" right.

I make it through reading one sentence, before I get distracted by the sound of the classroom door hitting a wall as it's slammed open. My head immediately shoots up, along with everyone else's in the room.
