Rosanna was sitting in the library, reading a very thick book. When she was finished she put the book back in its shelf and walked out of the library sighing.
- "I conjecture if this may be the apotheosis of a regular teenage girl like me's life," she said to herself while walking past a sea of people.
Suddenly she feels herself falling towards the ground fast. "oh great heavens," she yelps before she harshly hits the ground. She looks up at the guy she bumped into.
- "Oh, my sincerest apologies! it seems we've collided into each other," she reached a hand out hoping he would help her up.
The boy scoffs "whatever, I don't care for pretty girls like you," he walks away.
- "Oh... It seems he didn't want to lend a helping hand to a regular girl like me... Oh, I'm such a clutz this is so mortifying..."
As she's sitting there embarrassed she suddenly feels a hand taking her own and helping her up.
- "Hello. What's a pretty girl like you doing on the ground?" The guy who helped Rosanna up smirks.
- "O-oh..! Much obliged..!" she stands up straight. "W-who are you..?"
- "Name's Freja Cubillas, pleasure to meet you," he winks.
- "My name is Rosanna Vedin, if you're even bothered to know it..."
- "I'll say, Ms. Vedin... Soon you'll have to be the one helping me up.. I fear I may be falling for you," he leans in and whispers in her ear.
Rosanna feels her cheeks burn brighter "O-oh my...! Mr. Cubillas..! How you blandish me..!"
- "Well, I'll see you around, cutie," Freja winks before walking off.
Days go by and she thinks about the mysterious guy she met. One day she's sitting in a library reading another thick book. Suddenly she feels the book being snatched from her hands and and the boy she met yesterday standing in front of her.
- "Well hello there, cupcake, what are you reading?" Freja smirks
- "O-oh..! Hello! U-um... I'm reading The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald..! It's so good! I'm almost done with it! It's the thirteenth book I've read this month!"
- "Sounds interesting..." Freja chuckles "my little nerd"
Rosanna blushes intensely. All of a sudden the other guy she met yesterday peeks out from behind one of the bookshelves.
- "who's this asshole?" he asks darkly, glaring at Freja.
- "Name's Freja Cubillas. Now who the hell are you?" he says, glaring back.
"I'm Filippa Fridell. I happen to be Ms. Vedin's boyfriend," the bad boy says angrily.
- "W-what..?! b-boyfriend?! To my information I don't happen to be acquainted with you..." Rosanna hides her blushing face in embarrassment.
- "Really? You seriously don't know this guy, cupcake?" Freja asks, putting a protecting arm around Rosanna.
- "I know her better than you, asshole," Filippa butts in.
- "Stop calling me an asshole!"
- "Whatever, I'm going out for a smoke," Filippa rolls his eyes before walking away.
- "Don't worry about him, cupcake, I'll protect you," Freja winks, the smile on his face saying 'I'm a nice guy'.
- "A-accept my endless gratitude..." she blushes even harder.
Suddenly a third boy walks into the scene.
- "H-h-hello... I-I couldn't h-help b-but notice... t-that you're very... p-pretty..." the boy says, covering his face to hide his intense blush.
Freja sighs deeply "not you again..." he quickly regains his composure "I mean, hello there Leonora how nice to meet you here."
- "H-hello, C-Cubillas-kun..." the boy, supposedly Leonora, looks away shyly.
- "I-I'm afraid I must vamoose now, but I'll distinguish you both belatedly..!" Rosanna runs off out of the library, forgetting to put her book back.
As she's running out of the library she hits something hard, like a brick wall. She falls flat on her butt and looks up at what she hit. Her glance is met with the glare of one angry Filippa.
- "Watch where you're going, little girl. this is the second time this week!" he snarks.
- "I-I'm sorry..!"
He rolls his eyes. "you interrupted my smoking."
- "My sincerest apologies..! I-it won't betide again..!" She stands up on her own, running off before Filippa has time to blink.
