Unforgotten Memories

Chapter-10

Rose

"And I told him that we would- OWWW!" I exclaim while clutching the back of my head. I turn around and see Jackson smirking at me. He threw a freaking football on my head! It hurts so much. I was so pumped up in anger that I grabbed the football that was lying around and threw it in Jackson's direction with all my force.

Tit for tat.

But unfortunately, he ducks and the ball hits Mr Stevenson, our PE teacher's head. I gasp loudly, covering my mouth. Jenny and Miley who were by my side had the same reaction too. Mr Stevenson slowly turns around, his nose flaring with anger.

"Who threw that ball at me?" He asks at the top of his voice. Since I was diametrically opposite to him, I looked like the easy suspect. He headed towards me, with the ball in his hand.

"Rose, did you throw the ball at me?" He asks in a deadly voice. I look up at him in trepidation. I never got a detention in my life, it's going to be the end of an era if I get one today. Moreover, if daddy comes to know, he might get angry. What am I going to do? As I was about to surrender myself, Jackson comes in front of me out of nowhere.

"Ugh actually, Mr Stevenson, it was me. I threw the ball at your head." He says. I look at him with wide eyes, unable to comprehend what just happened. He is willing to take the blame for me?

"What? Jackson! As it is you are failing all of your classes. If that wasn't enough, you are going out there harassing your teachers? You are never going to learn." He says, shaking his head in disappointment. Jackson gives him a tight lipped smile before bowing his head down in shame.

"Stay back after school for detention." He says whilst leaving. As soon as he leaves, Jackson lets out a sigh of relief and turns towards me. As soon as he faces me, I jump on him, hugging his neck.

"Woah! You okay there, baby?" He asks with amusement. I shake my head and pull away to get a good look at his handsome face.

"Thank you so much for that," I say, embarrassed.

"Hey don't say that. I deserved it for throwing the ball at you. Did I hurt you though?" He asks whilst inspecting my head. I shake my head and hug his torso.

"You have a horrible aim by the way." He says, chuckling. I gently smack his back while pushing my face further into his chest.

"You're a bad guy, you know?" I ask, still hugging him.

"Yep. I'm a bad guy, who just saved your sweet ass."

"Hey, you started it first! I was just standing here talking to my friends when out of nowhere a gigantic football hits my head." I say defensively.

"Whatever. I gotta go now. Looks like I can't give you a ride today because of the detention. Be careful on your way back home." He says patting my head as if I was a puppy.

"Oh and one more thing." He says before looking around, making sure there was no one in our vicinity. He grabs my face and gives me a hard kiss on the lips.

"I love you." He says, winking at me before leaving. I look at both of my sides to realize that Miley and Jessica had left long ago. I shake my head with a smile.

"Here is your change, ma'am." The cashier says giving me a polite smile.

"Thank you." I say taking the bags from the counter and getting out of the store. I open the deck of my car and put the bags in it. As I get into the driver's seat, my phone goes off.
