Chapter 3 You don't need to be nice to me

Rose pov;

Yesterday was a long day, I must admit, and I must also say, even though I shouldn't, Jason is really a charming guy, and he is cool too. I smiled as I remembered yesterday's event with him. He has brown hair and a dimple, which makes him cute. "OMG Rose, what are you doing?" I scolded myself, reminding myself he is just a friend that I had just met. I prepared myself for class today and hope things get better today.

...............................................................

On getting to school, I was met with a commotion happening.

"Hmmmm, something new always happens" I thought to myself.

"Hey you came early today," Stella said, giving me a little bump on the shoulders.

"Am I? "And what is with the commotion today?" I asked her, finding it hard to get through the crowd.

"Hmmmm let's go find out," she said, nudging me. On getting to the scene, I met with the most beautiful people have ever come across, four guys and a lady. One of the guys is quite skinny, his hair golden and brown eyes. He has a classy look with his ears pierced. The one on the right is quite demure. He has dark messy hair and green eyes. He looks quite calm and demure and, of course, Jason, with his brown hair and light blue eyes. The last person caught my attention. He has dark long, messy hair which looks rumpled, his gray eyes radiating low humor. He has a denim jacket on with black pants on. He walks with such confidence and calmness as if he owns the school. "

"Hey, you are standing on the way" Stella whispered to me.

"Am I?" I asked, not realizing it as I stepped aside.

"Hello Rose," Jason said before he passed by me, giving me a wink, but my mind wandered away.

"They are the "night creatures" Stella said to me

"Hmmm" was the only thing I could mutter.

"He looks familiar, where do I know him?" I thought to myself.

"Alright, let's go for class" Stella said, nudging me towards the class. On getting to the class, I took a seat at the rear front beside the window with which Stella sat beside me.

"Okay Stella, tell me everything you know about this school," I asked her, but she was unable to talk to me when seeing the history teacher enter but promised to tell me over lunch. I hate history class but manage through an hour of endless class.

....................................................................

Later, during lunch, I asked her again, unable to contain my curiosity anymore.

"Is it only about the school, or do you want to know about the night creatures?" She said the night creatures in a hushed tone.

"Everything" I replied to her.

"Okay, this school was built under David's father's name and rumor has it that David and Jason are brothers, but no one is sure of this. People also believe that David has a girlfriend who no one has ever seen, since he hardly talks to a girls.

"The girl with the long brown hair?" I asked.

"I don't know, this is my first time seeing her though," she said nonchalantly. We were still talking when someone accidentally spilled a red drink on my dress.

"Oh, I am sorry I should've watched where I was going" the guy, who looks nervous, apologizes deeply.

"What were you thinking ? "You should have watched where you were going to," Stella said, trying to defend me.

"It's fine and, besides, the stain isn't that deep," I said as I told the boy to go.

"I need to go and clean this up" I said to Stella, pointing at the mess on my dress.

"Do you need any help?" she asked me.

"No, I will be fine," I said to her and left for the restroom.

I was still struggling trying to clean off the stain when I heard someone crying silently.

David pov:

Finally, he released me this morning, telling me he had gotten help from Tamara, the white witch who has been a great help to the family for a long time. He released me under the condition that I had to find a girl with silver hair, and she is the only one who could help the kingdom win the last battle coming soon. I wondered how I was going to achieve such a hard task. Arriving at school with a lot of crowd as usual, I had a lot going through my mind. Isabelle had decided to attend my school and help me find the girl with silver hair. Isabelle has always been there for me anytime I needed her since after the death of my mother, which I am grateful for, and another reason, I don't joke about her. After a boring class, as usual, I wanted to be left alone, which went unnoticed by my friends. They understood I needed it. Isabelle wanted to come after me, but I told her I needed some time alone. I went to the restroom, and suddenly I lost it and all the painful experience I had come back rushing, and I couldn't hold the tears threatening to come out. I was still trying to hold the pain. When I heard a lady's voice, "Hello, is everything alright?" she asked. I didn't know if it was the voice or something else, but I knew I'd heard that voice before and when I looked at her, I noticed the familiarity. This isn't the first time I have met her, but I can't remember where I met her. "Hello" she said again, jotting me out of my thoughts.

"It's nothing, I'm fine", I said, wiping the single tear off my face and pretending everything was fine.

"But you don't look like it and, besides, I heard you crying" she protested, unwillingly, giving in to her observation.

"Then maybe you heard it wrongly"I said to her.

"Even if I heard wrongly, I can see clearly" she said, which caught me unaware.

"What right do you have to care about me," I said as I turned in her direction.

"I know I don't have any right to care, but still sitting here and crying isn't going to help solve any of your problems," she said, looking at me directly.

"Am Rose" she said, offering a smile.

"I don't need your help, and you don't need to be nice to me," I said rudely and left.

After I left, I couldn't help but wonder why she looked so familiar and her words, though hard to believe, actually helped, and I knew I had to do something to find this person my dad wants to find.
