"Rosie," Grell's voice rang in Rosie's ears as she awoke. "Time to get ready for school." Rosie gave a soft grunt in reply as Grell left the room.

"Ma probably told him to do that." Rosie rubbed her eyes as she got out of bed and began her usual morning routine.

"Did you eat breakfast yet, Rosie?" Her mother asked as Rosie grabbed her backpack and waited by the front door for her mother.

"They serve breakfast at school." Rosie explained. Rosie's mother sighed. Oh, she wished her daughter ate breakfast at home, as she didn't know what they served for the juniors.

"Alright." Rosie's mother grabbed her keys. "Bye, Grell. I'm taking Rosie to school."

"See ya, Grell!" Rosie waved to the butler.

"Have a good day, Rosie." Grell smiled and waved back.

"So," Rosie's mother began as they left the driveway. "what do you think of Grell?"

"For one day?" Rosie took out her book, The Mortal Instruments; City of Bones. "I think he's pretty cool. And good at Wii Sports." She paused. "How long is he staying?"

"Until you graduate high school." Her mother replied. "Or until we don't need his help anymore."

"You mean until Oliver moves in?" Rosie grimaced. Oliver was her mother's new boyfriend.

"No." Her mother paused. "Possibly."

"You know I hate Oliver." Rosie frowned.

"But I don't." Rosie huffed. She hated feeling as though her feelings were invalid and unwanted. They pulled into the parking lot of Rosie's high school. Rosie opened the door and stepped out, slinging her backpack on her shoulder and putting her headphones on.

"Bye, Ma." Rosie waved, closing the door.

"Bye, Rosie." Her mother drove away. Turning on Hail to the King on her MP3 player, Rosie walked to her locker to get her books for the day.

"Um, Rosie?" A timid voice from behind her spoke. She turned around and saw Robert, or rather Bobby, clutching his arm nervously.

"What's up?" Rosie asked. Bobby was usually brave and strong.

"Um… do you, maybe…" Bobby seemed scared. "Want to… go out with me?" Some girls beside them gasped and squealed in delight.

"Uh…" Rosie paused. How do you respond to a question like that? "Sure."

"Sweet!" Bobby cheered. "Is it okay if we go Wednesday to the movies?"

"I'll have to ask my mom," Rosie tilted her head. "But tell me honestly. Who dared you?"

"Efran." Bobby laughed. Rosie frowned, but couldn't help but expect it. Robert was the most popular guy in the junior class. There was no way he would ask Rosie out without getting paid to do it.

"I figured." Rosie shrugged as Bobby walked away.


After a school day that seemed to take an eternity, Rosie headed out to her mother's car. "Hey, Rosie!" She heard Ginger's voice call out.

"Hey." Rosie grinned. "What's up?"

"I heard what Bobby did this morning." Ginger placed a hand on Rosie's shoulder. "Don't worry 'bout it. He's a jerk."

"You don't say!" Rosie gave a sarcastic grin as Ginger walked away.

"Hey, Rosie." Rosie's mother smiled at her daughter as she opened the door. "How was school?"

"Monotonous and tedious." Rosie sighed, getting in the passenger seat.

"Good adjective use." Her mother laughed. Rosie just rolled her eyes and listened to her music. "You know." Her mother spoke up as they pulled into the driveway. "Grell seemed like he missed you today."

"What?" Rosie asked, as she couldn't hear her mother over the music.

"I think Grell missed you." Her mother repeated. Rosie gave a small laugh.

"He's the first." She smirked at her small joke. As soon as she walked in the door, Rosie headed up stairs, with the excuse "I'm doing homework." Closing the door behind her, Rosie slumped to the floor in defeat.

"Stupid, Robert." She hissed. "Stupid me. Why the hell did I even think he would ask me out? I should've known something was up." She slammed her fists on the floor, creating a loud thump. "Fucking damnit!" She screamed.

"R-Rosie…?" Grell timidly opened the door. "Dear, what's wrong?" Rosie shot up.

"Grell?" She yelped. "Er… How much did you hear?"

"Enough to know something's wrong." Grell knelt down next to Rosie. "What's wrong?"

"Just some idiot asked me out on a dare." Rosie frowned. "I'm probably overreacting anyways. I'm a fucking moron."

"No you're not." Grell comforted, hesitantly wrapping his arms around Rosie in a hug. Rosie was slightly shocked, but didn't pull away.

"Thanks." Rosie hugged Grell back. "But, Bobby certainly made me feel like one."

"Who's Bobby?" Grell asked as he felt anger flare up in his chest.

"Some moron in my class." Rosie pulled away. "He's the most popular guy in the junior class. If you ask one of his friends, they'll give you all sorts of good things about Robert." Grell let go of Rosie and nodded.

"Alright." He gave a small smile. "Don't let it get to you. He's not worth your time if he makes you feel that way." With that, Grell left.


"Dude!" Ginger ran up to Rosie the next day. "Did you hear?" She sounded distressed.

"Hear what?" Rosie was nervous. "Did something happen?"

"Damn right something happened!" Ginger nearly screamed. "You know Bobby right?"

"Yeah." Rosie slowly nodded. "What about him?"

"He's dead!" Rosie grew shocked. She grew a grudge on Robert, but he was dead? What the hell?

"How'd he die?" Rosie asked as the bell rang. "Did he kill himself?"

"No." Ginger shook her head. "The police say it looked like someone killed him with a chainsaw."

"What the fuck?" Rosie exclaimed. "What the hell kind of a person does that?"

"Dunno." Ginger shrugged. "A crazy one, that's for sure."

"Good Lord." Rosie sighed.
