Lucky Love: White Wild Rose

The rain before the storm

A week later, as June was hanging around in her usual library spot on the 8th floor, she was overlooking the scenery and still trying to really understand the riddle, she knew about the picture of all the flower houses and the lily 'But what does it have to do with an unlocked lock and a jasmine?' she thought to herself. Just then she had a flashback to when she first saw it, 'The tree had a jasmine at the bottom that was growing', she quickly jotted down the information and spent the rest of her afternoon admiring the scene of the sunset the window from the 8th floor could offer. Just then she heard a DING! from the elevator, she wondered who it was since the only ones who come up to the higher floors were teacher s or workers, but they would normally not come after 3, but now it's 4.30. The elevator door opened to reveal her friend, Theodore, after not seeing her best boy friend in week due to his class trip for a 'project'. June ran and hugged him, tight, "Oh Theo, I missed you so much, how'd you know I'd be here?" asked June and she released him from her tight, loving hug. "Oh well I don't know, it's just one of your favorite spots to escape everything, and where you come up here to do work and that thing at all", he said in a sarcastic tone and giving June a blink that was too obvious and then the two both laughed, but not too loud or else they'll get yelled at or they'll get a warning card.

They then went to sit down at the table and talked with each other for so long they lost track of time, they then walked back to the dorm and was greeted with a surprise, in the boys' dorm. There was a banner saying, 'Welcome back Theo' and the friends popped confetti canons and all of them at a smile on their faces. "Hey, how come I didn't know about this?", June asked half serious half joking. "Can you keep a secret especially from Theo?", June hesitated, because she knew the answer to that, "no", June said and all of the friends laughed. "At least I have someone who got surprised with me", Theodore said while looking at June and then smiled and chuckled.

The next day, the school seemed much more alive now that the whole friend group was back, June, Theodore, Nectar, Pearl, Starla, Oliver and Alexander, 'The best friend group ever...' all the friends thought. Just then it was time to separate and head to their morning classes. June's first class that day was oddly weird, her teacher, Mr. Knight was sick and so a new teacher became her substitute. He was the opposite of Mr. Knight, one of her favorite teachers, this teacher was called Mr. Hicks and he was practically the teacher June disliked the most. He opened the air con to 15 degrees, and it was practically freezing. June got cold very easily, and she would always wear 1 jacket or sweater to school and would be somewhat cold, but this was on another level. As all the other student was just cold and only 1-2 students sneezed, June was as if she was sick, the cold really bugged her, and she could barely focus. Just then she felt warm arms wrapping around her, at first, she jumped but once she saw who she was she calmed down and hugged him back, it was Lucas. Lucas was in this first period class too and he came to hug her due to how he saw her freezing, "Better?", he whispered into her ear. June nodded while resting her head on his shoulders.

With him being his caring towards her she felt so much safer and more comfortable around him and his arms felt like a knitted sweater her dad used to make for her when she was young during Christmas. She felt as if she fell in love with him all over again and she felt amazed at how he chose her, this was really lucky love. She felt as if she won the lottery of love which was much more valuable to her than money and riches.  She just wanted to have someone she could always talk to and depend on.

Later that day as she was strolling through campus, she somehow bumped into all her brothers, Benjamin, Wyatt, and Timothy. "Fancy seeing you all together", June said with a judgey, joking face plastered across June's face. It was probably the 3rd time she saw all her brothers together since they were all in different grades and somehow seeing all 3 brothers together made girls shriek from excitement and made them sound so desperate, "They could be my husband one day", said a girl in a hallway once, June remembered since it was the 1st time, she saw all her brothers together in campus. Just as June shook that though of a girl saying something so desperate away, she saw one girl, then another and another and another, it was practically the whole hallway of girls staring at her, mostly the pick-me, exaggerated, mean, over-dressed girls, every grade too. They looked at June with death in their eyes, some of them looked like they were going to kill June, as others looked at her like a sister just to give a good impression to the boys. One of them even came up to June and acted as if she was her 'friend', "June, hey, I'll be waiting for you at our usual spot", and then walked away leaving all the other girls dazed. "You know I have no idea who she is right?" as she said that to her brothers while still staring at that desperate girl, with the short skirt in the rose team. Then she turned to her brothers who were also staring at that girl, but not in awe, in rage, in shock and in annoyance. All her brothers nodded.

Nobody in the school knew that they were all siblings, they didn't care about our names which were a surprise, if they did, they would probably figure it out, the siblings all had the same last name but they also have first names and nicknames so the students would only assume they only had nicknames and first names.

All the girls in the hallway continued to look at June with jealously, while she was standing with her brothers. Then the siblings wanted to mess with the girls a little; the boys all hugged June once before she left and the girls faces were priceless, all of them were filled with rage and looked like they were going to murder June, and as June was leaving she turned back, smiled and waved at her brothers, with wanting to tease the girls in mind, the brothers did the same, all the girls were both jealous and were drooling at the boys' good looks and then June walked away.

As she was strolling happily in the corridor to her next class, she bumped into someone, it was her 'boyfriend', the thought still didn't seem real to her, it was her crush and most of the time she wouldn't end up with them. "Why were you with those boys are you playing with me?", Lucas asked with aggressiveness in his tone. Lucas didn't know that they were her brothers either, because June didn't want to let anyone know, except the director, he was the only one who knew, so staff and teachers also didn't knew. "I was just hanging out with them, they're pretty important to me you know", she said with a strong tone in her voice, "What! And so, I'm not important to you?" he yelled so that the whole hallway could hear. June was startled, she didn't expect his to raise his voice so quickly and aggressively to her. "Just so we're clear you are important to me I love you very much but if can't handle me hanging out with some boys who are important to me then we're over", she said in a strong, clear voice and then she walked to her class. In was one of the only times she would say something so clearly and strongly, she wasn't the type to speak like this, but she couldn't handle him not letting her hang out with her brothers even though he didn't know it yet. If he was going to be hers and would stay with her forever, then he can handle this if he can't he isn't the one.

Lucas on the other hand was not feeling great like he should, he loved this woman, she was his everything and nothing could change that fact. In fact, he fell for her the minute he laid eyes on her in the cafeteria and has been in love with her ever since but a secret, some awful secret was haunting his for quite some time now. He wouldn't dare risk the secret, because if it came to light nothing would be the same, especially the way he is with June. There was no turning back he had to make it up to June, in hopes that if he messed up, she would have a higher chance of forgiving him. In fact, he already did but who would want their lover to find out something they don't want them to, Lucas needed to come up with something before the secret reveals itself or else things will end really badly and Lucas wouldn't want that, especially because he loved her.
