Pulling Heart Strings

Chapter 12

Rose's pov

Around two weeks later...

It was a normal school day. I was in the bus on the way to school. Finally everything started to have it's routine. Every morning I'd wake up, get ready, eat breakfast and go out of the house. Stephen and I would always meet in the elevator and ya. That's how my life is.

A couple of weeks ago Stephen and I did sports. I didn't go eat breakfast with him because after what he did nah. That's just how it is.

I went into classroom. This is the class I practically hated. First of all it's history and I hate it second of all none of my friends are here so f*ck my life.

I was sitting at my table waiting for the class to start. I just took a last peek on my phone and listend to the teacher talking.

,,Good morning students" the teacher said. ,,Good morning sir" all the students said. ,,So before we start class I'd like to introduce you your  new class mate. And I know it's not usual to have a new student at this time but ya welcome Mathew Brown." He came in and waved his hand.

He had light tanned skin. He seemed really tall. He had dark brown hair and those beautiful greenish eyes. I could say he was a cute one. But now I come to think of Stephen. A man with these beautiful features and cockieness. Damn. I came back to reality and looked at him.

,,So Mr. Brown tell us something about you." The teacher said. ,,Ya ummm. I'm Mathew. I am from London. I'm 23 and ya." His British accent visible.

,,Good. Good luck and Mr.Brown take a seat." The teacher said and he nodded. He looked around the room for a seat. His eyes then met mine and asking if he can sit next to me. I nodded. Then he came and sat down taking out his notebook.

,,Hi I'm Mathew." He said offering his hand. ,,Rose." I said taking it. ,,A beautiful name you have." He said smiling at me. I smiled back and replied ,,Thanks."

Then we focused on class. It was pretty boring but it was kinda better with Mathew. He would talk in between and make funny jokes. That's how the history class went by. Much better than usual.

Then I went to the cafeteria taking Mathew with me. I'm not that mean to let him alone. I sat down with Jenni. Her friends weren't there.

,,Morning Girl." Jenni said pulling me into a hug. ,,Morning !" I said smiling at her. Her eyebrows furrowed and she looked at Mathew. ,,And who do we have here?" She asked raising her eyebrow. ,,That's Mathew, A new student. I just met him in history class." He smiled shyly at me. ,,Hey dude I'm Jennifer but call me Jenni." She said.

Then we sat down at a table and started talking. ,,So Mathew. Tell us something about you. " Jenni said drinking her coffee. Just the way she talked to me when we met.,,So basically I moved here from London because I got scholarship. Ya and I'm the only child no siblings but loving parents." He said. ,,Interesting. "Jenni said smiling at him.

Jenni continued bombarding him with questions and stuff. He seemed pretty overwhelmed but managed to keep it casual. I realised he was actually nice to hang out. But poor guy is annoyed by Jenni.

,,Ok Jenni. Let the poor boy be. You're just asking way to many questions." I said rolling my eyes. ,,No it's ok. It's not that bad." He said smiling at me then at Jenni. ,,See I'm not that bad." She said. I just rolled my eyes. Before I knew the bell rang and everyone went to their class.

The day went pretty fast. After history every class was pretty good. I went out of the building with Mathew by my side. We kept talking and walked towards the parking lot. I looked at this nice black car. It seemed familiar.

,,Then that guy said Pull it back." Mathew said. ,,Omg that's way to hilarious. I can't even breath anymore." I said laughing to Mathew's funny story. That's when I felt like someone looking at me. I looked arounf

I realised it was none other than Satan himself. Stephen James. He was standing at the beautiful black car. He looked at me with no emotion.

,,Rose who is that guy? He's staring at you really hard." Mathew asked looking at me. ,,He's my.." I was about to say when Stephen interrupted and said ,,Ya I'm her boyfriend." He said giving a saddistic smile to Mathew putting his arm around which I tried to shrug of but failed.

Mathew seemed a bit shocked and said ,,Oh nice to meet you. I'm Mathew." He was still so kind while Stephen gave me the death stare which sent chils down my spine.

,,Ya ya fuck of with your nice to meet you. I'd like to have my girlfriend to myself could you please piss of?" Stephen said in a monotone voice.

,,Stephen what the hell. You're not... " i was saying when Stephen pulled me into the car. I tried to fight him but it was useless. I just waved at Mathew who seemed concerned. I breathed out sitting in the car.

,,WHAT THE HE'LL WAS THAT STEPHEN JAMES?" I asked screaming at him. He just laughed and said ,,It's cute when you're angry." Was he fucking serious? ,,Stephen first of all don't call me cute and second of didn't you see that what you did was so fucking rude?" I asked still angry. ,,First of all no I'll call you cute. Second of all that wasn't rude. I was just trying to protect you. Why do you even talk with some strangers?" He asked concerned.

It was kinda cute but my anger took over. ,,Dude. He wasn't a stranger. He's my classmate and why is it your concern?" I asked. He was quite for a second but then said ,,Oh I don't care I was just trying to protect my friend." He said. Although he was right it hurt a bit when he said I'm just his friend. But who cares. Without saying a word I went out of the car and took a bus back home.
