"Popular?" Roxanna questioned Sebastian. They were walking through Shiz campus late at night. Everyone was either asleep or at the party down in the OzDust ballroom. She was still wearing the pink ruffle dress but had Sebastian's jacket over it because she got cold.
"Yeah, you are so nice and friendly, why aren't you popular?"
"Being popular isn't on my list of priorities." Roxanna told him.
"Really?" Sebastian questioned his friend. "You've never wanted to be liked or anything?"
"No." She said. "Of course not, I have to focus on my studies."
"Ah, you one of those girls."
"One of what?"
"You know, I 'focussing on my studies'" Sebastian said it a high pitch fake girly voice and battered his eyes. "When really, I'm so boring, and a waste of time." Roxanna began moving faster and faster.
"Hey, where you going? I was joking!" Sebastian tried to keep up with her. "Damn, you walk fast!" He stood in front her path.
"Move, Sebastian, now!" She growled.
"I was just teasing, I'm sorry, can you forgive a stupid friend?" Sebastian tried to put on his best puppy dogface. Roxanna ignored him and turned to the right and walked away from him.
"Please, Roxanna I'm sorry!" Sebastian called after her. Roxanna kept ignoring him and headed straight.

May 5th
It's been three days, and Roxanna has managed not to speak a word to Sebastian. He would usually come up to her and ask for forgiveness or bring a small gift with a note saying 'I'm sorry'. Every gift ended up in the bin. The gift was usually like something you would get from a cheap market place. Roxanna felt she was being to over the top about it but he did hurt her feelings. How would you feel if someone called you a waste of time? Today was the 5th of May. A new day for Roxanna as she was woken up by the sunlight shining in her eye. Usually she would close the curtains at night but her roommate a Quadling would open it each morning thinking it won't hurt anyone. There was a knock at the door.
"I'll get it!" Sung her roommate as she danced towards the door with a toothbrush in her mouth. She opened it to see a box, wrapped in brown paper and tied up with string, on the floor with Roxanna's name on it. She picked it up and shook it a few times, then threw it onto Roxanna.
"Oof!" Roxanna groaned.
"That boy has sent another package!" She sung to Roxanna. Roxanna rolled her eyes and waited from her roommate to dance out the door before opening it.
After half an hour of waiting for her roommate to leave, Roxanna opened the box. Inside was a rose and with letter underneath it. Thank heavens, I waited for airhead to leave! Roxanna thought to herself. She lifted up the red rose and smelt it. She placed the rose onto the near by table then read the letter. It turned out it wasn't from Sebastian. It was from someone else. "Tomorrow? I can't meet some boy tomorrow!" Roxanna has read that the note said for her to meet her 'mystery boy' tomorrow besides the tallest Quoxwood tree. Roxanna hid the rose and letter under her bed and out of sight from her roommate and got up to do her daily routines.

May 6th
Sebastian was walking around the campus, still unhappy but Roxanna hasn't forgiven him yet. He would always take a walk to hope to find Roxanna under the statue but she's never there. The only time he sees her is when she's travelling from class to class back to her dorm. He wondered through the campus thinking about his stupid actions about the night at the OzDust ballroom. Sebastian walked towards the statue and sat down underneath it. It was just where they met. Only about two weeks ago they we're friends sitting under the statue discussing about life in general.
Melena the girl he met a few days ago was walking towards him. Since the OzDust ballroom party she hasn't stopped following him, only when she goes to class or Sebastian is going to his dorm. Her high heels made a clacking sound as she strutted towards him swinging her hips. She is attractive and boys had their eyes set on her. However, Melena only has her eyes on Sebastian as he sat under the statue looking in the opposite direction. Melena smile grew bigger as she came closer to him and then she sat down next to him and flashed another smile.
"Hi Sebastian." She battered her eyelids.
"Hey Melena." Sebastian didn't look at her.
"What are you doing?" She asked him. Sebastian didn't answer. "Are you studying?"
"Studying?" Sebastian's head whipped around to fast that he hit his head on the corner of the statue.
"Oh, no!" Cried Melena. "Are you alright?"
"Yeah, I'm fine. It's nothing." Lied Sebastian as he rubbed his head trying to sooth the pain. Melena sat next to him with a huge grin on her face.
Sebastian looked around the campus to see Roxanna heading towards the largest Quoxwood tree. He watched her walked towards then stopped. Her mouth was moving so Sebastian knew she was talking to someone. But who? And about what? Sebastian did a slow montage spy sequence and made his way over to Roxanna. He kept his eye on her at all times whilst he was moving towards her. Then he notice she was with someone. A munchkin.
"Sebastian!" Called Melena. "Where are you going?"
"Roxanna?" Sebastian asked. Roxanna turned to see her friend.
"Hey Sebastian!" Roxanna grinned. "This is Bick!"
"Bick?" Sebastian looked at the munchkin up and down. They're all the same, short and too happy.
"You must be Sebastian!" Bick extended his short arm to him. Sebastian bent over to shake his hand.
"Um, how do you know Roxanna?" Sebastian asked him.
"At the OzDust ballroom party, you were there, with Derek." Bick told him.
"Oh, can I have a word with Roxanna in private, if you don't mind." Sebastian took Roxanna's arm and pulled her away from the munchkin.
"Roxanna, I'm sorry. Please forgive me?" Sebastian begged.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever, Seb, now if you would excuse me…"
"You called me Seb?"
"Yes, I did, what is the problem?" She asked him.
"Nothing, I like it." Sebastian said. "Now go back to Bick."
"I actually don't want to, he's kinda scary." Roxanna told him. "I got a note from some mystery person and turns out to be him."
"Why don't you just leave?" Sebastian asked.
"That's so rude!"
"Because I just did it." Seb remember he leave Melena behind.
"Well, I'm not mean or rude like you." Roxanna turned and went back to Bick being a nice person she was.
Alright, I know, Roxanna and Sebastian little fight, but its all good! And guess what? The next chapter will be more exciting! I promise! *crosses fingers* (Just in case it doesn't) :]
