Roses & Wallflowers

I woke up late this morning, and trust me it wasn’t intentional. I only had five minutes to get ready, and for a girl, that sucks. I threw on some of my clothes, grabbed my things, and headed to school.

Luke had already went to school, I don’t know why she didn’t wake me up. So, I had to walk to school.

When I arrived, people started pointing at me and whispering in each others ears. But I ignored them and walked ahead.

“Hello friend.” I felt someone walk up behind me and I looked to my side to see Harry. “How are you this morning?”

“I could be better, I could be worse. You?” He chuckled and we turned towards my locker.

“I’m not doing so ravishing.” He leaned against the locker beside me and I grabbed my books.

“Why? What’s wrong?” I looked at him and shut my locker.

“People think that I killed Mason.”

I straightened up and shook my head. “But you didn’t.”

“I know that Haize. But people think that both of us had something to do with it because they like to stick up for your stupid boy toy Julian.”

I looked at him with wide eyes and he chuckled. “He is not my-”

“Mrs. Jones, Mr. Styles. Please see me in my office immediately.” The principal stood in front of us and me and Harry looked at each other before following him to his office.

“Please, sit.” He said when we stood in front of him. We sat down in the chairs in front of his desk and he sighed, sitting down. “Rumors have been going around.” I swallowed hard and he immediately looked at me. “Mrs. Jones, would you happen to know what these rumors consist of?”

I shook my head and Harry said, “Those rumors aren’t true.”

“So you admit you know about these rumors?” The principal said and I slouched a little in my seat. He stood up and pulled down his shirt, and started to slowly pace around the room. “This school was the most popular school in the state, but now we are down to the 200th. Things have been going on around here, and I am afraid that you two have been blamed for this nuisance.”

“Now, I don’t want to be pointing fingers or anything like that because that would be completely and utterly immature and uncivilized. But you two were last seen at the crime scene where Mason Dickens was murdered, and people have become suspicious.”

Tears began to fill my eyes and I wrapped my hands around the arms of the chair to calm myself.

“Mrs. Jones? Would you mind telling me why you are blamed as responsible of Mason Dickens death?” His words were torture, and I couldn’t stand to be in the room.

“I didn’t do anything.” I muttered and he let out a sigh.

“We can do this the easy way kids, or we can do this the hard way.” The principal said and he crouched down in front of me. “Why are you blamed responsible Mrs. Jones?”

Tears fell from my eyes and I sat up straight. “I wouldn’t do anything like that-”

“It was me.” The principal and I looked over to Harry, who was looking down.

Then we all looked to the door to see two police officers walk in. I looked at Harry and he was now looking at me.

“What are you doing?” I muttered.

“Saving you from a life of hell.” He said and he stood up, but I grabbed his hand. “Trust me doll. He would’ve made you crack sooner or later, and you wouldn’t make it a day in jail. We all know that I’ve been there before.”

“You admit?” The principal said and Harry nodded his head.

“Harry you can’t do this.” I stood up and they both looked at me.

Harry hesitated, but then he said, “I am responsible for the death of Mason Dickens.”

“That’s all we needed to hear.” The principal said and the police officers walked up to him.

“Mr. Styles, please come with us.” One of them said and Harry nodded his head and walked in front of them.

“No!” I yelled, and Harry turned towards me.

He stood in front of me and sighed. “This is probably going to be the last time I get to see you Haize, so I might as well make it last.” He hesitated, but then he pressed his lips to mine, and put his hand on my cheek. “I’ll see you one day.”

Then he walked out of the room with the police officers, and I started to sob.

Notes

It's been five days. FIVE DAYS! And I'm sorry, but I've been having a little trouble with my grades and stuff so my parents took my laptop away. So, this is what I could squeeze in at the moment.

Your thoughts would be appreciated my beautiful children! -K. xx
