My Sunday is spent as usual, my parents weren't around the house so I drowned myself in homework and my thoughts.

Rowan wanted to know if we could do something Saturday but I told her I had plans, she offered for us to do something Sunday as well but I used the same excuse, I knew my parents wouldn't let me hang out with other people, they made it clear I wasn't at school to make friends it was strictly for my education.

I didn't think about Saturday much, what happened, happened and there wasn't much I could do about it all I could do was avoid Evan unless it's necessary I see him, I tried my best to avoid confrontation I hated conflict and wanted nothing to do with it, and though we disagreed in the past I especially wouldn't want to have any sort of future disagreements with Evan, seeing as we were on the track to be spending the rest of our lives with each other.

The more I thought about it the more I realized how crazy it actually was that I was spending the rest of my life with someone I barely knew. He was nice enough, he had shown me that when he saved me and helped me with my slightly sprained ankle, something I had to keep under wraps so my parents wouldn't be too suspicious, but his actions on Saturday made me feel like I didn't know him at all, obviously I didn't, we'd known each other for two days and then a week later I was finding out we were engaged.

It was completely absurd but I owed this to my parents so I would do it for them no matter how much I disliked it.

Guilt.

That's exactly what I feel.

No matter how hard is tried I couldn't shake it off, it kept on crawling back on my skin and into my mind until it drove me completely crazy, and I knew the only way to settle it was by apologizing to Rosie.

But she didn't make that any easy for me, not even a bit.

On Monday, I tried to catch her attention multiple times but she always found a way to get away from me, but us talking was inevitable, she knew that so I didn't understand why she was trying so hard to avoid me.

I decided to try again today, and I guaranteed myself I would talk to her and apologize no matter how hard it may be.

I tried to come up with the best time to ambush her, a time she would be alone and would have no choice but to talk to me, so I could finally get this guilt wrenching feeling out of my chest, I hated it more than anything.

I made sure to get to school extra early, something I would never do before but I had to if I had any chance of catching Rosie before the first period. I waited and finally saw her walk through the doors.

I watched her walk her way to the school library and I followed silently, she went to the far back of the huge library and brought out a book and a pencil and started scribbling away, luckily when I reached there was no one else apart from us and the librarian, we had complete privacy which was good, we needed it.

I walked past the librarian and made my way to the far end of the library that Rosie was situated in, I wasn't trying to be discreet but Rosie didn't notice me she hadn't brought her head up from the book she was busy with; she was way too engrossed in it to recognize me charging straight towards her, which was good, I wanted to take her by surprise.
