“You guys look happy, what's the catch?" Andrea narrowed her eyes on Aiden and Rose as they all sat down at the dining table for breakfast.
“Mind your business and eat quickly or I'll go without you" He threatened.
“If you leave me then you'll leave your girlfriend too because she won't go without me" She turned to Rose.
“Right?" Rose nodded. Aiden rolled his eyes.
“Eat quickly"..
“I kind of missed school to be candid" Andrea admitted as Aiden parked the car in the school's parking lot.
“Luckily, you have one more year here" Aiden smiled cheekily at her through the front view mirror. Andrea stuck out her tongue at him.
“And so does your girlfriend"
“We stay together unlike you and Steven" Aiden retorted with a smirk. Andrea huffed and got out of the car. Aiden chuckled then turned to Rose.
“Let's go" They both got down from the car. Rose was about to walk away when Aiden held her hand firmly.
“Let's go in together" Rose's eyes widened.
“Then everyone would know something Is going on between us" Aiden frowned at her.
“You don't want people to know?" Rose sighed.
“You are the most popular boy in school and I'm a nobody in school, it doesn't add up. They will gossip," She told him.
“So? Let them gossip. As long as we are together, I don't care. The question now is, do you want them to know?" He questioned as he stared at her expression. She stared back at him with a smile.
“Yes" He grinned.
“Then let's go" He led her into school.
As soon as they stepped into the hallway, all eyes were on them. The murmurs started immediately as some students looked at them in awe while some in envy. Rose had to admit, she didn't feel overwhelmed by the attention, in fact she felt confident. She grabbed onto Aiden's arm as they walked towards her classroom.
“Okay, can someone explain what I just saw?" Claire asked Andrea.
“Oh, I forgot to tell you. Aiden and Rose are a couple now" Claire gasped.
“You should have informed me the second you found out," Claire uttered.
“Something came up, I'm sorry" She apologized.
“Tell me every single detail of how it happened," Claire said as they walked towards their class.
“He got her wet?" Andrea said nonchalantly. Claire screeched.
“What?!!"
“So you guys are boyfriend and girlfriend now?" Steven said as he walked up to Aiden and Rose.
“How did you find out so quickly?" Aiden questioned.
“You guys walked into school, holding hands and you guys were being so cuddly with each other. Only a fool won't guess that you guys are dating. So why wasn't I informed earlier?" Steven questioned.
“Oh like you informed me when you started going out with my sister?" Aiden said sarcastically.
“Touché," Steven said and walked away. Aiden turned to Rose and hugged her.
“I'll see you after class" He kissed her on the forehead.
“Bye" She murmured. She smiled at him before walking into her class. As soon as she stepped her foot into the class, the class grew silent. Every step she took could be heard. She raised her head up a little and caught sight of some girls giving her death glares. She ignored them and walked towards Andrea and Claire.
“Someone is glowing today" Claire wiggled her eyebrow at Rose.
“You should have seen them this morning, all smiles. By the way, I know you slept in my brother's room yesterday" Rose choked on her own spit.
“How did you..."
“I saw both of you walking into his room. I'm not complaining though, I need little Aiden and Rose running around" Rose stared at her in shock, She didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
“Andrea, cool down" Rose nodded in agreement with Claire. “ You'll make me his or her godmother, right?" Rose groaned. She thought at least one of them was normal but she was wrong. Andrea snorted.
“Not while I'm around"
“Oh come one, you'll be their Aunt" Rose abruptly stood up.
“I'm not listening to this" She walked away from them and walked towards an empty seat that happened to be right beside Grey. He narrowed his eyes as he saw her.
“Can I sit here?" He ignored her. She gladed hard at him but sat down anyway. The teacher arrived seconds later.
As the teacher explained the topic on the board, Rose felt Grey staring at her. In fact, he's been staring at her ever since she sat down. She turned to him.
“Is something wrong? Is there something on my face?" She questioned. Grey scoffed and turned away from her. She furrowed her eyebrows at his weird behavior, she shrugged and turned back to the teacher.
“Why him?" He muttered. She turned to him.
“Excuse me? Did you say something?" She asked.
“Why Did you choose him?" He stared right into her eyes as he asked. A chill ran down her spine and it wasn't a good feeling.
“I don't understand your question, please I want to listen to the teacher" She turned away from him.
“What does he have that I don't, huh? Aiden is a manipulative bastard, You are going to get hurt" Rose turned to him and glared harshly at him.
“Excuse me? Who gives you the right to say that about my boyfriend?" Grey snorted.
“Girlfriend huh? I remember a girl saying exactly the words you just said to me right now . She also didn't listen to me and now, she's nowhere to be found" Rose clammed her mouth shut. She didn't know what Grey was playing at but it didn't feel good. Luckily for her the bell rang, she packed her things and quickly left the class but unfortunately, Grey followed her. He chuckled from behind her.
“I see you don't want to listen to me Rose but I'm just trying to warn you before it's too late" Rose halted and turned to him.
“Will you get the fuck out of here?" Aiden uttered from behind Grey. Grey chuckled then turned to him.
“Why? I was just having friendly conversation with Rose"
“Didn't sound friendly to me" Andrea muttered as she stood close to Rose with Claire.
“It's okay, let's leave Aiden" Rose said softly to Aiden. He sighed and was about to walk towards her when someone called out her name.
“Rose? Is that you?" Rose turned to the voice. Her breath hitched as she saw the person in front of her.
“Oh my God, it is you. After what happened to your mother and Father, we never heard from you again" The girl continued. Rose felt like throwing up, Aiden noticed this and walked up to her.
“Let's go" He murmured in her ear and led her away...
