"Rosaline?" I asked horrified at the revelation that had just come upon me.

"Patch!" The principal's voice sounded agitated and before I could ask the girl again I was yanked into the office.

"What?!" I yelled.

"Patch! What kind of attitude is that towards your principal?" I glared at him for a second but then I remembered about Rosaline and hurried out but by the time I came out there was no sign of any girl. I walked up to Maggie's desk.

"Hey Maggie, you know the girl who was just sitting here a second ago, did you get her name by any chance?" I asked, hoping that she would say anything but Rosaline.

"What girl?" Maggie asked, I looked at her bewildered.

"What do you mean by 'what girl'?" I answered a question with a question but then shook my head. I was just imagining things and I needed to calm down. Rosaline was not back, in fact she died several centuries ago and I cannot be yearning after a corpse, no matter how much I loved her.

"Sorry." I muttered as I walked back into the principal's office.

"Patch, what was that about?" The principal asked, he was a man with a beard which reminded me of Dumbledore from Harry potter but that was from my perspective. He seems nice enough but getting on his last nerves wouldn't be on the top of your wish list either.

"Nothing." I replied and took a seat opposite the principal's chair. The principal didn't press further into the topic, instead he took his seat.

"Now would you like to explain to me what happened in class?" He asked.

"No, you won't believe me… well unless-" I looked up straight into the principal's eyes.

I did nothing wrong, everything was just a misunderstanding.

"You did nothing wrong, everything was just a misunderstanding." The principal repeated dumbly.

"Then I'll take that as a goodbye." I replied and headed out. The fresh air hit me with full force and I continued walking until I had reached the jeep. I put my bag inside and leaned against the exterior. What was going on with me? The bell going off brought me out of my thoughts, what was I thinking about for so long? Well whatever it was it didn't matter, I decided and headed back into the school grounds.

"Patch." The voice behind me made me stop and turn around.

"Rosaline?" I asked. Then I stepped back and everything went blurry for a second.

"Rosaline?! No It's me Marcie." I didn't hide my disgust as I turned back around and continued to walk.

"But who is Rosaline? Don't tell me you're cheating on Nora" Marcie sounded gleeful as she continued to speak to me. I rolled my eyes.

"I wonder whether Nora knows about Rosaline?" Marcie mused. I stiffened up, what was going to happen when Nora does find out about Rosaline. She knows the mere facts that I fell from heaven for a girl but apart from that information she doesn't know anything.

"What did you call me for?" I asked, irritated.

"Oh yeah! Well it seems that we are going to be holding our annual dance to celebrate Coldwater High's anniversary. Well I was wondering whether you would like to help Patch?" Marcie asked as sweetly as possible for her.

"Let me think, no." I decided and continued walking. A hand grabbed my shoulder making me halt and turn around.

"Let go." I commanded as politely as possible for me.

"No." I was not in a good mood, I thought I saw Rosaline and then she just vanished so now I don't need to deal with Marcie. I plucked her hand off my shoulder and dropped it.

"Why?" She asked I smirked; she wanted to know why I didn't do extracurricular activities.

"You wouldn't understand."

"Try me"

"I don't want to. Happy?"

"Far from it, what's so complex about you being lazy?" My eyes flared up at her calling me lazy but I kept my calm.

"Lazy?" You laughed. "No, not lazy more like… it's a waste of my time." I finished my sentence.

"Okay, don't do it for me or for the school do it for Nora." I was about to walk away when her words stopped me.

"Nora?" I asked, my back still turned away from her.

"Yes your precious Nora." Marcie said in the most disgusted way possible.

"Why would she want to volunteer for something as stupid as that?" I asked and turned around which in my part was a big mistake because the person standing in front of me wasn't Marcie but Rosaline.

"R-rosaline?" I stuttered, the girl in front me smiled the innocent smile me were so familiar with. My eyes widened at her presence.

"But how?" I asked clearly surprised.

"Why worry with the technicalities? The important thing is that I am here right?" She smiled once again and came forward so that she was standing beside me. I blinked repeatedly unbelieving to the presence next to me. She linked her arms through mine and smiled her cute, innocent smile.

"By the way, who is the infamous Nora?" Her question jolted me back to my senses and I finally came to accept that Rosaline was truly back in my life. I slid my arm out of the link that she had made.

"She is my girlfriend." I replied.

"Girlfriend." She tested out the word, and then looked at me confused.
"She is my lover." I explained and at the word lover her eyes lit up in anger.

"Lover?!" She yelled at me.

"Yes, what were you expecting?" I asked. I looked around and realized that we were in public grounds and more importantly the same grounds as Nora. I grabbed Rosaline's arm and led her behind the building closest to us.

"What are you doing?" She asked and she pulled her arm back.

"Listen what we had was history, you have to understand that and when you died or when I thought you died… our relationship somehow just vanished." I lied, her coming back probably made my black and white life colorful.

"Is that why you spent so many years mourning after me?" She smirked and I scowled.

"Okay so what if I did, that was the past this is now."

"You still love me Jev and I am back to make you realize that."
