Chapter 3 - A Lonely Flower's Suspicions

Emily didn't do anything just as I suspected.

School went by rather quickly with no issues.

"Sister." I greeted as I approached the car.

"I didn't get any calls so I assume you didn't cause any trouble."

Oh right! I didn't introduce you to my elder sis properly yet. Her name is Hope Fleur. She has pretty brown hair and breathtakingly beautiful hazel eyes. She is the greatest big sister ever! Or at least that's what I thought when I was younger. As we got older she got a lot stricter but as long as I listen to her she's like my big sister again.

So we still love each other. I think. I especially love her. Since she's my manager when I'm good she'll award me with sweets and hang out with me. What happens when I'm bad? ...Let's not talk about that.

"Do you want to go to a cafe before we go home?" She opened the car door for me.

"Yes~" I happily got in.

"Alright."

I had fun with my elder sister then we went home and I did my homework while Hope planned my schedule.

After completing my homework I practiced singing then went to bed.

The morning photoshoot went great and Hope treated me to breakfast at a restaurant.

I even got to school early. The day started great.

'I'm going to have the best day ever!'

Draken was late and once again Ms. Pims was lenient.

"Good morning." He greeted with a bright smile that revealed his perfectly white teeth. I am not going to lie I was a little jealous of how white they were.

"Morning." I replied.

"Rose! Pay attention when I'm teaching." Ms. Pims snapped at me.

"Yes ma'am," I answered immediately. 'That's strange. I only said a single word but it seems like she's more mad than usual. '

"Who are you calling ma'am? I am a young woman! Are trying to bully me too!?"

'Too?' I questioned.

I ignored the teacher but after three classes I realized what was happening.

Most of my teachers and classmates think I'm a bully. And seeing the way they freak out when I talk to Draken. 'I guess this is what Emily meant. Well, this will be over in no time all I have to do is avoid Draken.'

The following days went terribly. People were using the bully method to help Draken but I wasn't a bully in the first place and Draken wasn't picking up on that.

'Does he not realize or is he doing this on purpose. Wait. Was this is the plan all along? To make me like him because he's my fan but make my life miserable all while pretending to be my friend!? I've seen it in dramas a bunch of times. If that is what he's doing it isn't going to work! I won't talk to him at all today. I won't fall for his act!'

Two hours later.

'Avoiding him is a lot harder than I thought! At least there's only one more class before lunch.'

I got ready and went to class. Usually, people got in and prevented me from getting close to Draken but that day Draken decided he wanted to sit next to me. And sit next to me he did. But I was a stubborn girl.

"Pssst."

"Hey."

"Rosie."

"Hey."

Eventually, he realized I wasn't going to answer me and so he started passing notes.

When that didn't work he started hitting me with them.

"What." I finally gave in and angrily whispered to him.

"You're mad at me?" He frowned.

"I am now. What. Is. Your. Problem?" I was actually quite annoyed.

"You're ignoring me." He pouted.

"And?" I asked.

"It's making me sad." He pouted cutely.

"Sigh."

"Do you hate me?" He was in puppy eyed mode at that point.

'Stupid puppy eyes from a fan. How can I not cave in!?"

"I don't." I said as I wrote the notes on the bored.

"Then why were you avoiding me?"

"Because of the people around us. They're making me out to be a villain." I decided to tell the truth because he seemed genuine.

"No way."

"Yes, way."

"There's no way they'd do that to a celebrity." He didn't believe me.

"But they did and they've done worse." I informed.

"Oh... Well, I would like to apologize for them." He smiled.

"Apology... Accepted."

We laughed together quietly.

"Next time don't avoid me. We can fix it together." He offered.

"Mhmm. But would that work?"

"Solving it together would work better than solving yourself, right?"

I chuckled, "I'll try that next time."

"Draco and YOU stand."

'Wow, she won't even call me by name or nickname anymore.'

"What did I just say?"

"I didn't hear." I said then stood up.

"Neither did I." He stood up as well.

"That's because a certain someone couldn't stop distracting a perfect, sincere, obedient student."

'Did I get him in trouble!? Wait for no. She definitely wouldn't compliment me like that!"

"Rose. Go to the principal's office." Ms. Pims ordered.

I stood there dumbfounded. 'I didn't even do anything!'

"Miss. Why is she going to the principal's office?" Draken asked.

"Don't worry honey I have everything covered." She smiled sweetly. It felt wrong. An expression like that shouldn't be on her face.

'What is she talking about?' I questioned.

"What are you still doing here!? Since you can't walk yourself it seems I'm going to have to drag you there myself." She brutishly grabbed onto my wrist and began to pull me harshly out of the classroom as I watched people surround Draken.

'Why am I accused without any proof? Was this Draken's plan? Did he plan this? No, you're just overthinking things. But why isn't he saying anything? Why isn't he doing anything? No, no. You're just overthinking Rosie. The teacher and class may just be extremely biased because they hate you. Maybe the Principal will actually look into the situation and find out the truth or at least listen to me.'
