Chapter Eight

meanwhile, Lucy arrived at Rose's house it was a mini duplex as Rose doesn't like extravagances

Lucy always admire her friend even though she was rich she was kind, caring, and loving

they had been best friends since high school then Lucy was the black sheep she was bullied and stamped on by her mates as she doesn't have the willpower to defend herself

the day she first met Rose was a day she would never forget

that particular day she was being bullied by the school Goddess Naomi when Rose came out of nowhere and saved her she then dragged her to a secluded spot and scolded her

" hey are you handicapped " this was the first question Rose asked her she was dazed by the question

she then asked herself am I handicapped

" hey are you even listening " Rose who was staring intensely at her asked

" y.eah " she replied

" so back to my question why couldn't you just fight back," Rose asked

" hmmm " she was speechless what could she say

" am asking a question can't you give me an answer at least, " Rose said crossing her arms around her chest

looking up at the girl in front of her Lucy was speechless because from the way she carried herself and her clothes Lucy could easily tell that she was not from an ordinary family

Lucy was wondering why did she come to save me aren't all rich people bullies " she thought

" will you tell me why you are dazing out again," Rose asked tugging at her arm

" hmmm why did you save me," Lucy asked curiously

" Why are you sad I did " Rose threw her question back

" no no actually I have been bullied countless times before and there was no one to save me so that's why I'm asking " Lucy explained truthfully

" I see. I just really wanted to help a damsel in distress not knowing that I would find a friend " Rose said casually

Lucy was shocked by her bluntness but she waved it away and thought rich people rule the world anyways

" so I have told you my reason for saving you so could you at least tell me the reason why you are being a coward, " Rose said bringing Lucy back to reality

"The thing is that I am always scared " Lucy replied

" scared why. to say Rose was shocked was an understatement she was wondering why should a teenager be scared of her mates that's absurd she thought

" scared of what they would do to me if I fight back " Lucy replied

" Alright if you don't mind could you t Please tell me the reason for your scare if you don't mind, " Rose said softly

Lucy sighed she then narrated her story to Rose by the time she was done her stomach growled earning a laugh from Rose

from that day onwards Lucy and Rose because Bestie's till now

Lucy would always be grateful to Rose for making her fearless and bold

and seeing the same person who she will always be indebted to in a situation like this breaks her heart.
