Brett
I am here.

After seeing the text, Rose closed her locker and walked outside to where the Devenford prep bus was parked. As she stepped outside, she spotted Brett and immediately called out to him, embracing him in a hug. "Brett!" she exclaimed, her voice filled with excitement. "Roselyn. I've missed you," he whispered back, his voice filled with warmth.

From an outsider's perspective, it would seem like there was something more than friendship between Rose and Brett. Liam, who was observing from a distance, felt a surge of anger rise within him. He reminded himself to control his emotions as approached Brett and Rose, ignoring Mason's attempts to call him over.

"Brett!" Liam called out, capturing the attention of both Brett and Rose. Brett appeared annoyed and amused, while Rose seemed confused by the sudden tension in the air. A few steps behind Liam, Mason whispered to himself, "Here we go..."

The atmosphere grew tense, as everyone anticipated a confrontation due to Liam's anger. Liam extended his hand towards Brett and said, "I just wanted to say... Have a good game." However, Brett and his teammates burst into laughter, as if they had just heard the biggest joke ever.

Disappointed, Rose stepped closer to Liam and looked at Brett. "That's cute, Liam. Is that what they told you to say in anger management? Apologize, and everything's fine?" Brett continued to laugh, mocking Liam. "You demolished Coach's car," Brett spoke seriously.

Liam responded coldly, "I paid for it," retracting his extended hand. Rose immediately grabbed his hand, offering him reassurance. Brett looked between them, questioning Rose's loyalty. "Really, Roselyn? After what he did?" he whispered, ensuring their conversation remained private.

Liam let go of Rose's hand, not because he wanted to, but because he remembered the grave mistake he had made. Brett smirked, knowing that Liam was aware of his secret. "Or she doesn't know? Does she, Liam?" Brett asked, still whispering, not wanting to escalate the argument publicly.

"You're going to pay for it. For everything you did and said, actually. We're going to break you in half out there, and it's going to be all your fault," Brett threatened, raising his voice and directing his gaze towards Rose. Scott and Stiles arrived, grabbing hold of Liam to prevent any physical altercation.

Confused, Rose whispered to Brett, "What? He didn't..." Finally understanding the situation, she trailed off. "Yes, he did," Brett whispered back. "He told them." He continued looking back at 4 of his teammates.

Before Rose could respond, Stiles interrupted them, attempting to diffuse the tension. "Hey, what's up, prep students? Welcome to our little public high school! How you doing?" Stiles greeted them with fake enthusiasm, offering his hand to Brett, who refused to shake it.
