Primrose returned to the academy the next day, feeling much better. She had stayed over at the Titans place and learnt more about them. She saw the gang waiting for her, “Guys, it was only one night”
“Why didn’t you tell us where you were going? Where did you go anyway…You look different” Dante’ asked
“I don’t have to tell you guys anything okay…”
“We’re your friends Prim” Kristen said
“So act like friends…not like you’re my parents” Primrose said
“Hey…what’s wrong? Really…” Dante’ asked
“I just need some space…”
“What did we even do Prim?” Jason asked
“I have enough going on okay…the last thing I need is you lot constantly nagging me”
“Nagging you? We care about you…” Carmen said
“I didn’t ask you too…so just leave me alone” Primrose said whilst walking away
“Primrose, if you walk away now, that’s it…” Andrea said
Primrose didn’t stop, she stared at the ground and picked up her pace
“Sorry D,” Jason said whilst placing a hand on Dante’s shoulder
“I’m over it. Let’s go” Dante’ said

Primrose was deep in thought whilst walking to her lecture
“That was a stupid thing to do” Mia said who was sitting next to Elijah on the staircase
‘What was?” Primrose asked
“You dissing your friends” Mia said
“They were nagging me…” Primrose said, "I was worried I'd say something I shouldn't..."
“People are going to find it weird, who are you going to hang out with now?” Mia asked
“I was thinking I could hang with you guys”
“You were thinking? Well, you thought wrong! You can’t hang with us, you’ll draw unwanted attention” Elijah snapped
“I have other friends then” Primrose said
“Brilliant. Don’t forget what you have to do…We’ll be in touch” Elijah said quickly, once noticing Kristen walking by. Mia noticed her too and left with Elijah. Primrose watched them go

Kristen decided to skip the lecture, she wasn’t in the mood to be near Primrose so she got changed and went to the tracks. She was warming up when she saw Zac sitting in the stands, texting away. She walked to the stands and greeted, “Hey Zac”
“Hey there” Zac replied whilst putting his phone away and getting up
“Is that a new way of training?” Kristen asked whilst noticing his casual clothes
“Don’t be fooled. I can still run in this” Zac laughed
‘I’m sure” Kristen smiled
“My day is mostly free today” Zac said whilst joining her on the tracks
They began walking in sync
“So how have you been?” Zac asked
‘I’ve been better, but how have you been? You were gone” Kristen asked
