Chapter One

Rose's POV 

There's nothing that makes me happier than the beginning of a new school session because that only means I'm extra busy .I work at one of dads schools but only as a part time tutor. And it's Friday which means I have classes.

 I'm getting down from my car that is already packed in the school's lot. I'm in an orange sundress with a black mini leather jacket , a pair of black heels and an orange shoulder strap bag.

I make my way up the elevator to the fourth floor because that's where the staff rooms are .

The moment the doors slide open I step out of the elevator and make my way to the staff room but before I get to my desk I'm told that I'm needed in the head teachers office which happens to be my brothers office

"Heard you wanted to talk to me" I say as soon as I'm let in.

"How are you Rose?"

Uhmm weird but okay…he usually just gets straight to the point unless something's up.

"I'm alright. Is there a problem?"

"Uhh no al… all's good"

Did he just stutter??? Now I'm certain something's up

"Are you sure though? You look like you should be telling me something but you don't know how to."

"There's no problem stitch just go back to work."

I may be the last child of five but I know my siblings very well and I know James well enough to know that he doesn't ever call me stitch. The others do though but not James.

Maybe I should call Charles and find out . We're the closest in age so we're kind of each other's closest sibling too.

"Alright." I say to James knowing better than to keep trying to drag it out.

"Yh, have a nice day then."

I make my way back to the staff room.

I get to my desk and go through what my schedule for the term is like.

I had an introductory class today and I'm due in less than forty five minutes.

I decided not to take the elevator and to use the stairs instead so that I can talk to Charles.

He picks up after the second ring

"What's up stitch I kinda expected your call a little later"

"What's that supposed to mean ?"

"Why did you call me."

"What's going on?"

"Elaborate please."

"Don't play dumb Charles. You know what I mean."

"Yh I do but I'm not exactly in the place to tell you what's going on. They warned me not to."

"And since when did you start listening to them?"

"Look Rose I also feel it's better to chill out a little. Trust me . You may call again before the day ends and when you do I'll tell you what's up."

"And what if I don't have a reason to call?"

"You will. But if you don't I'll call and let you know. I promise."

"Okay fine. You promised though"

"Yh I did. Now get off the phone."

The line disconnects . I take a deep breath and walk into my class .
