Chapter 8
Eventually, Roxanne got so used to her presence that she stopped resisting anymore. They
officially became friends, and even though Roxanne still tried to maintain her demeanour of a cool and
stoic young lady, she couldn’t shake her extrovert friend off. And so they became the weirdest pair of
friends.
“Had a rough night. I woke up late this morning” Roxy said.
As she spoke, she used her hands to pack up the book she needed for class.
“Ohh, you couldn’t sleep well? Is that it? Well, I’ve got a brilliant idea. Why don’t you…”
“I’m fine now. Thanks” Roxanne quickly said.
“Ohhh, Hmmn, let me see your face for a sec” Betty said, drawing her face slower to Roxy.
The sudden movement toward Roxanne and their close proximity, caused her to take a step back,
feeling Betty was too close.
“Hmmn, well. You don’t seem sick or anything. But, something about you looks different today” She
said, using her hand to caress her chin.
“Can't that wait? We’ll be late for class at this rate.” Roxanne said, leaving her locker after packing
up what she needed.
She quickly turned her face away from Betty so she wouldn’t see the blue strands of her hair which
she had carefully tried to hide, but was still obvious if one paid a much closer look.
“Oh, that’s true…” Betty laughed as they both made their way to the homeroom.
Roxanne picked up the pace and Betty followed behind her, trying her best to catch up.
Homeroom went the same as usual, the only difference was that Roxy barely made it to class on
time, nearly costing her perfect record. The teacher came and did his usual routine. When he finished,
Roxanne heaved a sigh of relief.
“I made it,” She said to herself.
Classes went on as they always did. However, what stood out in the respective classes were the
reminders given to the students by teachers concerning their tests before winter break.
The final bell rang, indicating the end of school for the day. A smile of relief appeared on
Roxanne’s face. She had been expecting this. Finally ended as Roxanne sighed leaving the premises.
Her phone buzzed in her pocket, causing her abruptly halt her movement to view the caller.
“”
A smile appeared on Roxanne’s stern and cold face, using her finger to quickly answer the phone
call.
“Are you coming today?” The caller’s voice sounded.
Her smile widened as she heard those words.
“Of course…” She replied.
“I’m on my way”
