  A Full House
      Rosie had wanted to say something to Anthony about Blaze. She knew Blaze may have deserved it but she didn't like resorting to violence. Not to mention, it wasn't Anthony's battle to fight nor was it what Rosie wanted. She had dealt with people making fun of her and taunting her her whole life. She could deal with it. She didn't want to care enough about what other people said about her to react in such a way that Anthony did.
      But she didn't have the heart to say anything to him. She knew his intentions were well and she was grateful that no matter what the circumstances, Blaze was done tormenting her.
      She also didn't want the excuse to talk to Anthony. Although she felt bad for being a jerk to him and cutting him off like this, it was still the only thing she thought was a smart move for both their sakes.

  You are Serenity
      When Anthony had returned from Rosie's room, Madison, one of three girls was quick to welcome him back. &quot;There you are. What was so interesting in there?&quot;

      &quot;When you said she was talented, I didn't know you meant that talented. She could give me a run for my money,&quot; Aatalo laughed lightly.
      &quot;She is,&quot; Tamara agreed. &quot;I'm surprised she let you guys in. She's very protective of her art, doesn't like to show anyone.&quot;
      Anthony glanced up. Somehow hearing that made his heart feel full.
      &quot;Your cousin's kind of... weird.&quot; Madison rolled her eyes but kept her gaze trained on her nails that she picked up.
      Tamara narrowed her eyes at her friend. &quot;Excuse me?&quot;
      Madison shrugged nonchalantly. &quot;What? She's kind of geeky.&quo

  Run-Ins
      The breeze pricked Rosie's cheeks as she walked through the campus with books in hand. Her head was ducked so she could stay under the radar and avoid running into anyone who may spark a conversation. Her attempt was useless. She looked up when she heard her name being called from behind her.
      &quot;Rosie! Hey.&quot;
      She shut her eyes as she recognized the voice. She wanted to pretend she hadn't heard so she could continue walking but it was too late. She was already spotted.
      She turned around, forcing a smile on her face as she slowly approached Anthony. He stood with two other guys. One of them was Aatalo who she met at the art gallery. The second boy she recognized from seeing him in the student centre the other day.
      Rosie looked between the guys, her stomach starting to twist with anxiety. &quot;Hi,&quot; she mumbled in a quiet voice that was al
