Burning roses (On Hold)

Chapter eight

Monday came pretty fast and everyone seemed so quite. I walked to my locker getting my stuff for the day then went to my chemistry class which is one of the few classes I don't have with melody.

I went to my seat beside the window and plopped down while plugging my earphones in turning on perfect by Ed Sheeran. I was surprisingly 5 minutes early for class which is very concerning knowing that I was never early.

Everyone came in and took their seats waiting for the teacher while I was watching them boredly. Soon the trio came in followed by the teacher who was panting like crazy.

I averted my gaze to my phone stopping the music and putting away my earphones.

While I was taking out my notebook someone sat next to me and I caught a glimpse of dirty blonde hair and blue eyes. I turned to chase narrowing my eyes which he just smiled.

I ignored him and turned to the teacher who had a shocked face when she saw me but soon recovered and started the lesson.

Classes went by smoothly and it was lunch time. I grabbed some brownies and a cup of coffee then went to sit with melody at our table.

"Hey" I said taking a bite of my brownie.

"Hi" she mumbled.

"Is everything alright" I eyed her as she bite her lip while tucking a strand of hair behind her ear.

"Umm I-I" she stuttered looking everywhere but my eyes.

"Just spit it" I said getting irritate.

"Chaseaskedmetogooutwithhimpleasedontbemad" she rushed out quickly and I shot her a look.

"Chase asked me to go out with him but as a friend I promise" she looked at me beneath her lashes.

I nodded while sipping my coffee.

"You're not mad?" She asked looking at me warily.

"It's your life mel I can't stop you and I did warn you so if he tries something imma break his neck" I said shrugging.

"Thank you! Thank you!" She squealed bending on the table giving me a quick kiss on the cheek.

The topic was dropped and we started gossiping or more like her telling me the school's new gossip and me listening as if I care.

I looked away from my bestfriend and my eyes connected with cold blue eyed asshole.

My eyes turned to the rest of the guys to find Chase smirking at something behind me. I turned around to find melody blushing madly.

Lunch was over and everyone started to scramble out of the cafeteria to their classes. I stood up with melody throwing our trash in the trash can.

I frowned when I walked to my math class to find only one empty seat beside Damien. I looked back at melody to find her seated next to chase.

I groaned to myself as I walked to the seat dropping my bag on the desk.

"This seat is taken" a cold voice said. I turned my face to look at him.

"I don't care" I retorted. He glared at me then clenched his teeth. He opened his mouth to say something but the teacher started the lesson cutting him off.

Class was uncomfortable with Damien and I throwing dirty looks to each other back and forth.

As soon as the bell rang I took my bag exiting the class. I walked outside the school breathing in the fresh air. Since I have a free period now I decided to sit outside for a while and relax.

I sat at one of the benches near the football field getting out a notebook and a pencil. I plugged in my earphones setting the music on shuffle then started drawing.

A tap on my shoulder tore me from my mood. I turned around to see a smiling Axel.

Geez does he ever stop smiling?

"Hey whatcha doin" he said while sitting down opposite of me.

"What do you want" I growled. Yes I know I was being mean but it's for his own good.

"Meh just got bored so I decided to sit with you" he said shrugging while leaning on his elbows.

"Ooo what're you drawing" he asked extending his arm to take my notebook. I quickly snatched it before he could touch it.

"Leave me alone before you seriously regret it" I threatned while glaring.

"What are you going to do huh beat me too? sweatheart that won't stop me" he said smiling brightly. I glared at him more if that's even possible after a while I sighed then went back to my drawing.

He shuffled next to me taking out one of my earphones thankfully putting it next to his ear not in it. I decided not to do anything cause I really wasn't in the mood.

I guess he got bored as he decided to annoy the day life out of me.

"So tell me something about yourself"

"What color do you like"

"Do you have siblings?"

"Do you like coffee?-" "if you don't like coffee we ca-"

"SHUT UP!" I yelled sending him one of my intimidating looks which immediately shut him up.

I turned back to do final touches on my drawing which is a face of a girl who looks broken with half of her face disappearing in a black thin air.

After a while of silence I turned my head to Axel to find him staring at my notebook with a weird emotion.

I frowned my eyebrows at the sudden change of mood.

I think he sensed me staring when he turned his head masking his previous emotions with a smile.

What I did next shocked me and him. I returned his smile with a genuine one of mine.

To be honest I don't know what I'm doing. I should be hating him, pushing him away but something about him calms me.

Something about him reminds me of my old self. My old self that was buried with my mom's body. My old self that so many people tried to reach for but ended up getting hurt.

I stood up putting my stuff back into my bag. I need to get away from him. He's breaking through my walls and I can't let him.

Without glancing back I ran to my car ignoring his voice calling me.

I reached my house and a chilling feeling washed over me. I looked around but it was dead silent. I got out of my car taking cautious steps toward the house.

I heard voices coming from the living room so I followed it but what I saw made my blood boil and my face turn into a deadly glare.
