"Rosaline!"

I ran as fast as my legs can carry me away from Matt.

"Rosaline! Wait!" He catches up and takes my arm and spins me around to face him.
"What are you so afraid of?"

"Easy isn't it?" I said my voice shaking. "Being with you"

"No! Matthew! It's because I don't think I'm good enough to be with you!"
