Chapter Seven

Juniper

“Juni I haven’t told you about the final member of the Daleton boys” she said sounding unsure about continuing. I could tell she seemed anxious talking about the Barrington guy and I started feeling a bit guilty making her do this.

“Is everything okay? You seem nervous” I said with concern laced in my voice.

“It’s just the person I want to talk to you about slightly scares me”

That’s weird. Nothing about that guy seemed scary to me, apart from the fact that he doesn’t seem like he smiles much and he’s such a drop dead gorgeous man. I don’t think I noticed a scary vibe from him.

“Grayson Miles Barrington” she whispered cautiously gesturing for me to lean in closer.

“That’s his name? Grayson?” I asked

“Yes. Grayson is the ring leader of their group and the one with the most power. He is also the richest kid in Daleton prep and rules the school with an iron fist”

“Wow, that’s a lot to take in” i answered trying to ease her anxiety.

“That’s not all Juni. Grayson has been in jail for murder” she stuttered with fear as my eyes widened in shock at the news.

He’s a murderer? but he’s so hot!

“That can’t be true.” I said refusing to believe it.

He didn’t seem like the type that would kill someone. Maybe it’s just a mindless rumor. Although they do not label murder on their faces so how am I so sure that he’s not one. I barely know the guy.

“Apparently he murdered the physics teacher last year” She added bringing me out of my thoughts.

“Are you really sure about this Jas? I mean if he’s a killer why is he still roaming around freely?” I asked curiously.

“I told you Juni. Grayson is powerful and his father is extremely wealthy and well known in America. I don’t really know how he got off the hook after killing someone but he did” Jasmine finished making me worry and really scared of Grayson.

“The case was closed and they let him go, not many people know about it. Just some of the school staffs and most of them were paid to keep their mouths shut” she said with a sigh.

“This is crazy Jasmine. I never thought that he’d..”

“I know, just promise me you’ll stay away from him. From all of them , they’re bad news juniper” Jasmine stated with slight fear in her eyes.

“I will, I promise.”

“Good”

The bell rang signaling the end of study hall.

“What class do you have next?” She asked

“I have gym, what about you?” I asked silently hoping we both have the same class again.

“I have AP lit” she said causing me to suck in a breath

“I guess we’ll meet at lunch?” I offered quite unsure.

She gave me a smile before rushing off to her next class. “Definitely”.
