Rose pov

As we drive away from the house I now see was a mansion, the radio plays some new pop song I really dont care for, so I reach over and turn it off.

"Who said you're allowed to touch anything in this car?" Ryder asks with a smirk.

"No one, and no one has to, I won't listen anyway." I say shrugging, turning back towards the window trying to memorize the path.

"Are you wondering where I'm taking you?" He asks with a weird glint in his eyes.

"Actually I am." I say still looking out the window.

"School."

I pause for a second, then snap my head to face his.

"What the fuck do you mean 'school'?"

"I mean what I said, I told you I was going to show you my life, school's first on that list." He chuckles.

I groan in annoyance.

I was enjoying my break from the hellhole, after missing a week from it.

But I guess good things only last, so long.

"But I don't have my stuff." I point out still trying to make excuses.

"Check the back."

I turn my head slowly to see my bookbag sitting comfortably in the backseat.

"So this is where you put it, after you kidnapped me?"

"Actually it was in my office, for a bit. This morning I had one of my guys put it in here." He says smirking.

As usual.

I turn back in my seat and pout.

I hate school.

"But you're not going to any of your classes today, you're going to all of mine."

"Huh?" Is that even allowed?

"I told you I was going to show you my life. So why would I have you going to your classes?"

That makes sense, and plus I didn't want to go to my classes, anyway.

I grunt, showing I understand, and turn towards to window again.

This is going to be a long day.

~•~

Pulling up in the school parking lot, all of the student body watches us.

"Is like this everyday?" I ask, reaching to the back seat to grab my bag, and also not getting how someone could stand this, I'd run them over for staring this long, so early in the morning.

"Sometimes they wait right in front of my parking spot. Like pests." He says, parking in "his" parking space, I don't think you can own a parking spot, but knowing how he is, he probably threaten anyone who tried to park there.

"You're right, they are pests." I say, as we both exit the car.

I hear multiple gasps as I walk besides Ryder to the main entrance.

People looking in disbelief, jaws on the floor.

Dramtic much?

I chuckle, though. It's nice seeing a group of people you dislike, not believe something about you because they think it's too impressive for you.

"Ryder, you're a good look on me." I say, smirking, walking down the hallway to my locker.

"Same." He mirrors my expression.

I wonder what he means by that but dismiss it, seeing as we had reached my locker.

"How are you going to get me in your classes without the teachers saying something?" I question, while I put my stuff away.

I look around the locker, waiting for my hate notes.

Nothing? Aw, I kinda missed them.

"The teachers here know not to get on my bad side."

"Already?" He's only been here for like 2 weeks.

"When you have a reputation like mine it follows you wherever you go." He says this with a grin that doesn't really show how he feels about this "reputation" of his, but then again, why should I care how he feels?

"Cool, let's go then, lead the way." I stretch hand out to motion him to go ahead. He laughs and starts walking, and I follow right next to him.

"You're cute, you know that, Rose." He says all of a sudden as we near the class.

I nod.

He mumbles something under his breath as we enter the science classroom, and I decide to ignore it.

Once we sit at one long table, he pulls my chair next to him and puts his hand on my thigh.

I smack it away, but he grabs both my hands and puts it right back.

I struggle but his grip is like iron.

Damn. This is going to be a long ass day.
