Rosie's POV
I woke up because of the ruckus that was going on downstairs. I checked the time on my phone to see that it was 5am. I walked downstairs in a quiet manner. Only to my dad There ransacking the fridge.
"Dad?" He jolted in surprise and dropped the pack of bacon. He looked funny with a cookie hanging out of his mouth and a bunch of potato chips stuffed in the pocket of his hoodie. Geez i swear my dad is a little kid sometime.
"Sweetheart, what are you doing up?" he spoke quietly, as if he was trying not to get caught.
"I woke up because of the noise."
"Was i really that loud?" i nodded my head and then the lights came on suddenly. We looked at my mother was in already in her scrubs ready for work.
"What's going on in here?" She asked suspiciously, My dad on the other hand was slowly trying to put everything back in the fridge without making much movement, so basically he's placing the pack of bacon in slow motion.
"Tyler? What is going on?" He gave her a sheepish smile.
"I was hungry?" I swear my dad is still a little kid at heart. He looked as if he had been caught with his hand in the cookie jar.
"While you're there you can make breakfast then." My dad gaped at her. Making my mother and i chuckle.
"You can catch more flies with honey." She winked and walked back into the bathroom.
"I love that woman" I smiled at him.
"Would you like some help dad?" He shook his head and tossed me the whisk.
"You remember how to make pancakes?" And that's how my morning came about. Making sure my dad didn't burn down the kitchen.
==========================================================================
"Okay sweetheart thank you for helping me, but you should get ready or else you'd be late for your first day." My dad said and i looked at the clock and it was already 6:45 i rushed to my room and showered and got ready. I went for a simple outfit but straightened my hair at least. After applying some makeup i went to grab my glasses only they were not where i left them i started to panic and i rushed downstairs nearly tripping.
"Mom! have you seen my glasses?" I asked completely out of breath.
"No babe, I haven't seen them. Go see if its in your dad's study." I nodded and made my way towards dad's study. As usual I see my dad faced down signing some paper work. He changed his clothes from earlier. Means hes going to work.
"Hey sweetheart, what's up?"
"Hey dad, have you seen my glasses? I think I might've misplaced them somewhere." He scrummaged around looking until he reached into his drawer and pulled out my black big rimmed glasses.
" Aiden must've hid them in my drawer again" yup sounds about right. Typical Aiden for ya.
"Hey sweetheart, its your first day of high school. How do you feel?" I shrugged my shoulders. There wasn't really much to think about. I am not considered popular but I've had my fair share of "fake" friends who only used me because I had money and well all my parents were well off.
"I dont know dad, I mean I just want real friends this time, not people who know about my wealth and fortune. I want genuine friends who will look past all of that." I admitted. Its been really hard for me to make friends. and well that also includes boyfriends. Now I know that both my dads are very overprotective but I want to experience everything. Good and Bad.
"Come here babygirl." he patted his lap and I sat down.
" You are a very smart, beautiful, and down to earth girl. I know your true friends are out there somewhere. There is a time and place for everything and well you just got to go with the flow. You never know maybe your true friends are the ones that will surprise you the most.
I thought about what my dad said and well that got me thinking. Maybe I am looking at the wrong social status. Who knows maybe they will be there.
"Thanks dad,"
" You're welcome babygirl, now if someone bothers you, I am on speed dial and I will be there to kick his a*s. no matter when and where it may be."
" I know dad. I love you, now I gotta go before mom nags my ears off for being late on my first day."
"She does nag a lot doesn't she?"
"HEY! I do NOT! " We turned to see mom standing outside the door of the study holding my backpack and her in her doctors coat.
"Now I am taking dads car because mines in the shop, and well your dad always uses the driver anyways." I loved taking my car. But I was vouching for dads car more.
"Okay you have that look on your face.
"What look?" she was right I have this look where if I want something and I dont say it out loud I have this weird face that apparently is cute to both my dads and mom and uncle Jake.
"Uh huh, You can take your dads car today. be careful, now hurry on now or else you'll be late." I gave my dad a quick kiss on the cheek and hugged my mom goodbye.
I made my way towards the car and the engine came to life. I sped down the street towards the gates. My school came into view and I found a parking spot that was towards the back of the lot.
As I get out of the car I see a bunch of people staring. I grabbed my backpack and made my way inside with one earbud blasting some G-Eazy and the other hanging out of my hoodie.
As people kept staring this was this one particular group of kids that seem to take in interest in my dads car. Since dads car is a standard car they seemed shocked when they saw me driving it. I recognized one of the boys that was staring. He was the same boy I saw at the park one day with a little boy. He gazed locked on mine and he smirked.
ignorant much? I thought to myself. I broke eye contact and finally made it into the school.
Since it was the first day Freshman's were to go into the gym for a morning assembly so that the upperclassman group can give us a short tour before we go to our first class. Since it was the first day of school classes were cut short.
I entered the gym and I found a spot that seemed to be isolated. I couldn't help but notice as I walked past people whispered about how I am a spoiled heir to the family business. I hate that word. Its true that I am an heir but seriously people cant you just view me as a peer.?
I zoned out on what the principle was saying and well I was bored. The bell rang and everyone stayed seated. In came a couple of kids that were in 11th grade. I looked up and saw the same boy that I saw out at the parking lot. He met my gaze once again and well smirked again once more, at least this time he actually saw me rolling my eyes.
After dividing certain kids to a junior I past the boy and I could feel his eyes burning into my skull. I was the last one in my little group and since he was also a tour guide he was right behind me. I was thankful at the fact that he didn't talk to me.
After the painfully agonizing tour we finally attend our classes. School was over at 12 today since it was the first day and they wanted to give the teachers more time to actually finish setting up their classrooms for the school year.
I rushed out the doors and saw a crowd form towards the park across the street. I paid no mind and unlocked the door to my car. As the engine revved up I was shocked when a two boys ran in and got inside.
"Oh my god! what are you doing!?" They ignored me and continued to fasten their seat belts.
"HELLO! GET OUT OF MY CAR!"
"Drive," one of the boys said
"not until you get out!"
"C'mon please drive, someone's after us and its not safe, please just drive!" I saw a group of thugs run towards my car and that's when I drove past them and sped down the lot.
"Please can you explain what's going on" I asked. My voice cracking, my hands are shaking and well my mind is all over the place.
"Yes just go somewhere where no one knows about"
"Oh my god, am I gonna die?!" i was starting to panic and it was that boy again and I recognize the other one too as he was in one of my classes. I pulled up towards my family's lodge that wasn't too far away from the city, just a couple minutes away. It was pretty private and well it overlooks the city.
"This is my family's lodge now tell me who you are and what are you planning on doing. I am letting you know now I am a terrible hostage. My family will look for me-"
"Okay first of all lets start by saying our names"
"You first."
"My name is Dean, This is Aaron my older brother" The boy in the back answered.
"Rosie" Dean smiled and well Aaron was looking out the window and not saying a word. I took a closer look at Aaron and realized that it was him.
"Its you!, Mr.AnnoyingSmirkFace!" I Pointed.
"It Aaron and nice to meet you Rosie" I pouted and demanded him to answer my previous question.
"What are you planning on doing."
"Thanks for the help back there but we will be going now." They both gathered their things and got out
"WAIT! What is going on?! do you need help?- We dont need your help and it is none of your business so stay out and leave while you can"
Momma didn't raise no fool so I needed answers, I dont care if I am nosy.
"Well I have been dragged into this so I need answers!" I shoved Aaron a little bit.
" Or what?" He must think I am playing. I grabbed Aaron by the arm and flipped him over and put a knee on his chest.
"What the f**k!" He screamed
"Now give me answers" I was not playing and I was more serious then ever. I know how to fight. I took the liberty to learn every fight technique possible from judo to taekwondo to boxing to karate.
Dean broke out in laughter, Aaron was still struggling get out of my hold. After dean had calmed down he gave Aaron a look. That was when Aaron looked up at me.
He muttered something but i didnt quite hear it before i see a car pulling up.
