The Class Prince

Chapter 13 : Rose's secret.

For the entire day, I couldn't help but think about Jisoo to the point where I couldn't concentrate in class.

...Okay, cross that, I couldn't concentrate in class even if I wasn't thinking about her, but still.

I limped down the halls and out of school and I couldn't help but wonder; Did I really like Jisoo?

What part of Jisoo did I even like? Was it her undeniably beautiful everything? Her mysterious and sexy personality with just the right amount of sass? The devious and slightly sadistic side to her? How she acted cold and careless but deep down, was actually really kind?

And before you know it, I started listing all her good traits and guess what; I couldn't stop.

I was walking home, still thinking about Jisoo. But then I saw Rose standing in front of a small store. I raised my hand and opened my mouth to call her, but stopped as I realised that she was with another girl who looked way older.

Didn't Rose normally have her part time job after school? What was she doing with that shady looking girl? Was that her mom? No, that couldn't be, they looked nothing alike.

I stared at them with furrowed brows, somewhat starting to get bad vibes. Something about the girl was just... Off. My body stiffened as I watched them walk down the sidewalk together. Something just didn't feel right and my consciousness, well, the one that always got me into trouble, was telling me that I should go follow them. After debating on whether I should just give them their privacy and let them do their business or be a creep and follow them, I decided to go with my gut feel which to me, was always the best option.

Follow them like a creep it was.

I made sure that they didn't see me, carefully hiding behind corners and buildings while keeping a safe distance. They went into a luxurious store together that looked too expensive for me to even breathe in.

Why would they go there?

I knew that something was definitely sketchy about those two but as I was about to take another step forward to follow them, I froze; a chill running down my spine as I remembered how i didn't know if I should go in or not.

To go or not to go, that is the question.

Alright Jennie, think. Should you just walk away and pretend you didn't see anything and ask Rose about it tomorrow? Or, should you just continue following them with the possibility of getting murdered and have your organs sold to a psychopath in a Gucci store?

I sucked in a sharp breath.

Get murdered it is.

Well, someone was making some really good life choices today.

I quickly followed them, making as little noise as possible as I entered the building while following the faint sounds of their voices. But as I turned around the corner, my eyes widened. I put my hand over my mouth, feeling my heart race against my chest while my back leaned against the wall.

No way.

Pacing back and forth on my porch, I started to mentally prepare myself to be scolded by my mom. I sucked in a deep breath and knocked on the door, my body stiffening as it swung open almost immediately.

"Hey mom," I smiled sheepishly. She raised her hands and for a second the, I actually thought that she was going to punch me. I squeezed my eyes shut and waited for the hit, but opened them as I felt her arms wrap around me.
