Ch.18
Trey’s P.O.V
“Don’t. That wasn’t a one person. It was both of us. So therefore no one can really apologize. I think it’s best if we just…forget it ever happened,” she said.
“Okay. C’mon we better get to Julie.”
“Actually I can’t. She excused me. I think it would be a little weird if I went back.”
“Do you have your lunch?” I asked her.
“No, I was going to go get it right now.”
“Go get it now and meet me back here.” She left and in a couple of minutes she was back. I was outside the closet waiting for her. “Come,” I told her as I turned the corner. I could hear her following. I headed up the stairs. There was a door I opened it and held it for her. Shock covered her face. “What?” I asked.
“I’m just surprised you have manners. That’s all.”
I rolled my eyes. “Just get your skinny ass out there.” She went outside.
“Wow.” I heard her breathe. We were on the roof. It was a pretty tall building. There were five levels. The fifth level was high ceiling. I grabbed her hand and brought her closer to the edge. I sat down. One foot dangling off the building and one foot on the cement. I motioned for her to sit in front of me. She did the same position I did and was faced towards me. It was cloudy out so the sun didn’t bother us one bit. There was a light breeze. “This is amazing,” she said looking at all the other buildings out there.
“Yeah this place is really neat,” I told her.
“So how often do you come here?”
“Not often enough. With the guys always in my business it’s hard to come up here without them knowing.”
“Why can’t they know?”
“Because then it would become a make out place to them. They would probably bring the girls up here, she would like it, and then it would become nothing but a make out place.”
“I don’t see why they can’t use it. You probably use it as that.”
“Actually you’re the first girl I brought up here. The only person I have ever brought up here actually.” The bell rang then.
Rose stood up. "We better go."
I smirked. “Welcome back miss-goodie-two-shoes. What’s a matter you’re too scared to ditch?”
“As a matter of fact, I am.” She turned to leave. But when she didn’t here me standing up she turned back towards me. “Aren’t you coming?”
“Nah. I think I’m going to stay here for a while longer.” I smirked before adding, “school’s for losers.”
“School may be for losers, but ditchers are nothing more than dumb asses.”
“That’s true. Considering that you ditched after school detention yesterday.” The smile flew from her face. I laughed at her expression. She turned on her heel and opened the door. “Good bye, Rose.”
“See you later, Trey.” I could practically see her smiling. You could hear her smile in her voice. The door closed gently.
Rose’s P.O.V
I was in sixth period when the phone rang. Mr. Stephenson picked up the phone and listened while someone on the line was talking. Mr. S looked at me. Not again. He hung up.
“Miss Nylon, you are wanted in the office.” I sighed, got my things and left the class room. I passed the stairs, but a light sort of shined through since it was still cloudy. I looked. Trey descended the stairs.
“You know you’re going to get caught,” I told him. He looked up and smiled at me. He took the last step down. “I thought you were going to ditch the rest of school.”
“Funny I don’t remember saying that I was going to ditch the rest of school.”
“What made you come down?” I asked.
“Well it’s right before seventh period. I think they were going to call us to the office. Isn’t that we you are going?”
“You’re creepy you know that,” I told him. He laughed and put his arm around me.
“Not creepy. Just smart.”
Trey’s P.O.V
When we got to the office the bell rang. It was the end of sixth period.
“Hey Jenna,” I said.
“Welcome back Trey. Not a surprise to see you here. You,” she said pointing a pencil at Rose. “You I am surprised to you here.” I laughed and put my arm around Rose’s shoulders again and said, “she’s a newbie, but don’t worry, she’ll become a regular soon. Very soon, I promise you that.” Jenna was young enough that she knew the double meaning in my words. Rose however was clueless. For someone so smart she could really be stupid sometimes. I guess she was book smart and not street smart. I’ll have to tell her what it meant later.
“Jenna are they here yet?” Willie asked Jenna through a speaker in the phone. She pushed a button, “yes they’re here.”
“Send them in.”
“Guys go on in.” Rose and I started to walk to Willie’s office. She grabbed my arm and threw it off. I chuckled. We entered.
“Have a seat, Trey, Rose.” We sat down on our usual seats.
“I hear you skipped yesterday’s detention.”
“Really? Who told you?” I asked sarcastically.
“The janitor. I’m disappointedit wasn’t Ms. Pavon who did. I told her that since she let you slide she will no longer be your after school detention…teacher. Mr. Stephenson will.” I looked at Rose. Her face had gone white. I knew how much she despised him.
“Willie, how about if we never do it again, we still have Ms. Pavon?” I asked, using the sweetest voice I ever could.
“No. I was going to make you spend your lunch with Mr. Stephenson, but Ms. Pavon said she still needed help. And since you skipped your detention I will extend it a week. Both lunch and after school. So you will have detention until….well let’s see. Your last detention lasted till the 27,the lunch one lasted till the 31st. So for this one, Rose yours will last until June 3rd and Trey yours will last till the 10th. And your lunch detention will last till the 3rd of June also. Are we clear?”
“What?! No! The 10th is the last day of school. I can’t have detention that day!” I complained. I mean come on. It was the last day of school.
“Well you should’ve thought about that before Mr. Simmons.” Willie said. He can’t be serious.
“You can’t do that.” I was going to say that. I opened my mouth to say that. But I didn’t say that. I looked at Rose. She barley said it in a whisper. When I looked at her I saw sweet, delicate, Rose. But I knew she wasn’t.
“Please enlighten me on why I can’t do that, Miss Nylon.”
“Because after school detention on the last day of school doesn’t exist.”
“I beg your pardon.”
“When that final bell rings on the 10th school is out for three months. You can’t keep someone after school when there is no school.” She had a point. Smart girl.
“That’s were you’re wrong Miss Nylon. I decided when this school is still in session-”
“And it carries out until school is out for summer vacation, which it will be,” she interrupted.
“So you don’t really think I can do that, Rose?” Willie asked.
She leaned more forward towards his desk. “I know you can’t do that.”
“Very well then, Miss Nylon, I mean Rose, you will have after school detention on that day too.”
“What?!”
“Good day, Miss Nylon, Mr. Simmons.” I stood up to leave. I knew that no matter how long you argued he wouldn’t budge. Whenever he used that voice he meant business. Rose, however didn’t. She stood up with rage. Causing her chair to fall back. I caught it before it hit the floor.
“You most certainly may not do that.” I turned toward her, my side at her side. I grabbed her arm.
“Rose,” I cautioned.
“Miss Nylon, you either leave immediately or I’m afraid I’ll have to call security.” She ripped her arm from my hand.
“Fine. Just remember this when that bell rings I am no longer your student.” She turned and walked out of the office. She looked kind of hot when she was mad. As soon as I realized what I had just thought I shook my head. I was used to checking out girls. But Rose. Hmm. Well what do you know I was checking out Rose. Not that, that means anything. I walked out after her. “Ugh! He gets me so mad,” she said while walking back and forth in the hall. I leaned against the wall.
“Join the club,” I muttered.
“I mean he can’t do that. Can he?”
“Well you seem like a smart girl. You tell me.”
“No he can’t.”
“Do you just want to ditch the rest of school?” I asked.
“And miss another detention? Wouldn’t he make our detention longer? Or call our parents?”
“I’d rather him call our parents than make my detention longer. Which is not possible. I have detention till the last day of school. Although he could extend our lunch detention.” I took one look at her and saw why she was so worried. “Your parents don’t know you even have detention do they?”
She looked away. “No.”
“Yeah I remember. You told me. But I would’ve thought they’d have known by now.”
“It’s just my mom and she works most of the day so it was easy for her not to find out.”
“I see. Well then we better get to seventh period. It’s almost over though. See you in about ten minutes.”
English went by incredibly slow. Even though when I got there, there was only five minutes left. When the bell rang I went to Mr. Stephenson’s. I plopped down on a chair. Thank goodness today was Friday. I need a break. I looked at the teach. His face looked angry. He was looking at the clock. School ended fifteen minutes ago and Rose wasn’t here yet. If she was ditching she could have at least told me. Why would I want to be stuck with this asshole for an hour? Just then Rose came in. She sat down next to me. She looked tired as if she ran here. Her was done in a messy ponytail. Not her usual neat one. She looked kind of out of breath. A strand of her hair was at the side of her face. With that little wavy strand down made her look seriously hot. What’s wrong with me? Why do I keep thinking Rose looks hot? I mean she has a nice complexion, her eyes are beautiful. Like deep brown. They were like two different colors at once. Darker on top and lighter on the bottom. Of course it looked totally natural though. Her lips were somewhat pink with a touch of rose. Her figure was just downright smoking sexy. She usually wore baggy clothes, but that night I went over to her house to drop off her book. Damn I didn’t know girls could look that could. Rose had the smarts and the looks. But the way I had described her to Jason. Jason, right. She wasn’t mine. She wasn’t even on the market. She was Jason’s. The way I had described her to Jason, I bet he never saw her like that. I must have liked her back then, but didn’t know it. I mean how else could I describe her like that? Suddenly I was mad at Jason. I was mad at him for being Rose’s boyfriend. But then I realized I wasn’t mad. I was mad and jealous. I only really knew Rose for five days. But I wanted her. Bad. We weren’t even allowed to talk. Finally we were able to leave.
“So how come you were late,” I asked her as we were walking down the stairs.
“The P.E coach made me run a extra mile for being late.”
“That’s stupid. Did you tell them you were in the office?”
“I tried, but she wouldn’t listen.”
“She's a bitch.” I said without difference.
“Tell me about it.” We were out the door. Then I heard a ring. I looked at Rose. She dug through her backpack and found her phone. “What Trevor?” He said something on the other line. “I don’t care……no why don’t you?…….Fine! Fine! You don’t have to get all mom on me.”She looked at me. “Trevor wants to know what do you want on the pizza?”
“I didn’t know I was invited.” I said amused.
She smirked. “Neither did I. But apparently Trevor says you were and you said yes.”
I laughed. “I don’t really care.”
“Trey please make this easier for me. Trevor won’t take ‘I don’t care’ for an answer. You have to choose something or he won’t stop.” I laughed at her pleading voice. If she wanted me to jump off a bridge and she used that voice I’d probably would. That voice was so cute.
“Fine. Um...pepperoni’s fine.” She told Trevor and said bye.
“So your parents don’t care that you get in trouble a lot?” she asked.
“My dad does. But he’s away on business…a lot. My mom doesn’t really care. She’s more laid back. Literally. She cheats on my dad…all the time. It’s about one or two guys every week sometimes more. Sometimes she uses them. Other times they use her. I keep her secrets. She keeps mine.”
“Wasn’t it hard for you?”
“At first. I couldn’t believe she would cheat on my dad. But then I got used to it. I see guys sneak out. I hear my mom yelling at guys to get out, that it’s over. The only reason she‘s with those asshole‘s is to get a good fuck. She’s a real slut.”
“Trey, that’s your mother.”
“Just because she’s my mother doesn’t make her better than anyone else. My dad loves her. He’s away a lot. But that’s because he has a lot of business. It makes me sick to see that when my dad comes home my mom acts like she loves him. But that’s all it is. A act. My dad cares about my grades, teaches me manners when he can, really wants me to be something, you know? But my mom, she doesn’t care. Her motto is as long as you stay in school you’re as good as the valedictorian."
“I’m sorry.” I looked at her. In her eyes I saw how sorry she was. Like she knew what I was going through.
“So what about you. Where’s your dad?”
“I really don’t know. The court is looking for him.”
“Why?”
“Well when he was married to my mom and wanted a divorce the court did a back round check on him. Turns out he was married to my mom.”
“In order to get a divorce aren’t you supposed to be married.”
“Yeah. You didn’t let me finish. He was married to my mom and a woman half his age.”
“So?”
“At the same time.” That was shocking. I put my arm around her shoulders.
“Looks like we each have a messed up parents.” She laughed. I expected her to push my arm away, but she didn’t. I was glad. When we reached her house she opened the door. I still had my arm around her as she tried to walk in. She looked at me.
“Um…Trey you can let go of me now.”
“What if I don’t want to?” I asked her. Her eyes widened. I smirked. “Don’t flatter yourself princess,” I teased.
She smirked. I loved it when she did that. “Puh-lease. I already have a boyfriend. And if I got a different one, he’d be a upgrade. Which you’re not,” she walked inside leaving the door open for me to follow. She invites me for pizza, insults me, then wants me to follow her? What can I say, she knows how make me want her.
“Hey Trevor,” I said when I saw him playing poker with Rose in the kitchen.
“Hey Trey.” I stood behind him. I looked at his deck.
“Um, Rose I think you dropped a card,” I told her. While she looked under the table I whispered to Trevor. “Risk it. Get rid of the two.” Trevor got another card.
“Oh yeah! I got a flush.” Trevor said. I looked at Rose’s cards. Three aces. “Cough it up,” Trevor said. She sighed and gave him a five dollar bill. I laughed. She took one look at me and knew.
“I’ll tell you what. Play me till the pizza comes. In that time you might win some or lose some.” I told her.
“Fine Trevor leave the room,” she told him while looking at me.
“Why?”
“Because I said so.”
“Fine, whatever.” The first three times I won her. I got fifteen dollars. On the fourth time I raised it to ten dollars. She won me. And the next time. And the next time. And the next time. She won forty bucks from me.
“You little bitch. You scammed me.” I told her.
“You mean as you did to me?”
“What do you mean?”
“I know you had a joker card under your right thigh.” How did she know that?
“No I don’t,” I lied.
“Yes you do.”
“Want to check?” I asked her.
“Ugh. No thanks.”
“How did you know?”
“I invented that trick, baby. The pizza’s will be here soon. Now if you excuse me I have to go pay the pizza. Actually it’s kind of like you are paying the pizza. You know since it’s your money.” She was trying to make me mad. I got up and tried to grab her. She laughed and ran. I ran after her. She ran to her room. When I got in, it was empty. I walked in further. Then I heard footsteps. She ran out of the room. She had been behind the door. She ran back down the stairs. I ran after her. She was fast. But I was faster. As soon as I was about to grab her the doorbell rang. That didn’t stop me. I grabbed her waist and tickled her. She started laughing. “Trey stop…I’m ticklish.” She said between laughs.
“So I see.” The doorbell rang again. I let her go. She went to answer it. It was the pizza guy. She paid and brought it in. She called Trevor. He had been quiet. When he came in his hair was disheveled. His lips a little swollen and pink.
“Someone just got majorly kissed,” I said. Rose raised a eyebrow.
“Trevor, who do you have up there?”
Trevor blushed. “Sarah. So if you don’t mind. I’ll just take two slices up to my room.” Rose raised a eyebrow again. “I’m a growing boy,” Trevor defended himself.
“Trevor you know you’re not supposed to have girlfriends over.” Rose told him.
“You have Trey over.” I froze.
“Trey isn’t my boyfriend, now is he? He’s just a friend.”
“Fine, then Sara is just my friend.”
“Then why were you making out with her?”
“Why were you two flirting?”
“No we weren’t.” Rose and I said at the same time.
“Uh yeah you were. So if anyone needs me I’ll be in my room. Sarah is my girlfriend. But if you want I’ll call her my friend with benefits.”
“Friends with benefits? You are not sleeping with her.”Trevor blushed slightly. From the looks of it he already did. Rose wasn’t stupid she saw it too. “You’re still in middle school! You’re only fourteen."Rose shook her head, but pointed to the stairs. We ate. Making conversation. When we were finished Rose spoke.
“Would you like to help me?”
“With what?” I said eyeing her up and down. “If you want to get rid of your virginity I’ll gladly take it.”
“How do you know I’m a virgin?” She challenged. I didn’t.
“Well do you want me to show you?”
“What do you mean?”
“If you feel any pain when we’re doing it then you’re a virgin. If you don’t, then you’re not.”
“I’ll take a range check.” Did she not realize what she just said. My eyes widened. Then I smirked. She must have realized what she just said, because her eyes widened too. “I meant, I’ll pass.”
“Uh-huh. Whatever you say.” I teased her.
“No I’m serious. That’s what I meant. Trey.”
“Rose, you can’t keep lying to yourself, that you don’t want me.” She was about to speak, but I was still talking. I leaned in closer. “Don’t worry Rose, I won’t tell Jason,” I whispered to her. She froze. I smiled. “Now what did you need help with?”
“He um dog. We have a dog. Um it needs to be um scrubbed I mean washed.”
“A little tongue tied aren’t we?” I teased.
“No, I just forget, I mean forgot, yeah I forgot what I was trying to say.”
“So how about I help you unwind? Would you like to take your little range check now?”
“Never.”
“Never say never.”
“Just come upstairs.” She said irritated.
“You get right to the point, don’t you?” I teased.
“Not like that. Come up and help me wash the dog. Trevor hardly helps.”
“Why do I have to help?” I asked as we went upstairs.
“Because you’re here. So you might as well make yourself useful.” We walked into the master bedroom. It was nice and neat. We walked into the bathroom. There was a Great Dane. He ran to me.
“Hey, buddy,” I told him scratching behind his ear.
“Come on, in the tub,” Rose said. I looked at her strangely.
“Okay, if you insist,” I said heading for the bath tub.
“Not you the dog,” she thought for a second. “I mean the other dog.”
“Why would you tell yourself to get in the bath tub?”
“Just help me get the dog in the tub please.” We got him in. We wet him and soon he was covered in soap. He shook himself. Soap flew all over us. Rose squealed and let go of the showerhead. It went wild and wet us. We were still knelt at the tub. The dog continued to put soap all over us. I grabbed the shower hose. The dog settled down. Rose and I took one look a each other and burst out laughing. “You…look…hilarious.” She said between laughs. I laughed with her.
“You don’t look so hot yourself.” Which was a complete lie. She looked hotter. If that was possible. All wet and soapy. We were really close to each other. We both stopped laughing when we realized how close. I started leaning in. She moved closer. When our lips touched there was like a fire between us. Except we wanted to keep getting burned. I put my hands on either side of her face. She wrapped her arms around my neck. I wanted to kiss her gently, sweetly, slowly. But I just couldn’t I kissed her roughly, hard. Her hands balled up into fists in my hair. I deepened the kiss. She moaned. Then we heard a gasp at the door. We both stopped. We turned towards the door.
