The Secret Roses

Chapter 11: The Envious Red

"I'll see you later, sis," Runo waved as he walked away. Rosie groaned and crossed her arms. "Now to find my bratty cousin,"

Rosie and I walked outside and scanned the whole area. Not to the left, not to the right. But in the middle! Right there before my eyes, I saw Leo talking with another girl. Oh, boy. Hopefully he's not getting into mischief. Please, please, please.

Rosie must've seen that I was thinking because she was marching towards Leo. Dang, she must be angry. Oh, this is bad. I followed Rosie nervously.

"Leo," Rosie said calmly while her arms are crossed. Leo turned around and grinned. "Oh, hey, Ro! This is Bella, she's nice," I glanced at this girl named Bella. From my perspective, she is not nice to me at all. And I don't think she'll be nice to Rosie either.

"Hello," Bella said softly.

I waved, but Rosie didn't seem to care. "What are you doing with my cousin?" Rosie looked at her suspiciously.

"Oh! He's your cousin?" Bella giggled, "Lucky you," Bella secretly smirked. She thought nobody saw it but my sense of sight never lies to me.

"We were just talking, Rosie. No need to be worried," Leo said. "'No need to be worried'? Leo, of course I'm gonna be worried what if you were-"

"We're fine." Bella cut Rosie off. "Yeah, what she said," Leo agreed.

Rosie opened her mouth to say something but closed it. She turned her back towards Leo and Bella-even me- and walked off. "That's weird.. She's never like that when I talk to other girls.."

Could it be that Rosie's jealous of Bella?
