Chapter 4

Once Rose was at school she knew what to do based the instructions Nova gave her, or at least how to act around Rei, Rin, and Gale. They took Gale's car because Rei would definitely make Rose change once he saw her, and Rose knew that was the truth when she saw Rin across the parking lot staring at her as she stood up, pushing her red hair, that had been perfectly straightened by Nova, out of the way giving him a seductive smirk, biting her lip and grabbed Gale's arm walking to the cafeteria with Nova right behind them who was caught giving a wink to Rin. Rose's heart was racing as she thought about what Rin must've been thinking and she opened her mouth to speak, "How long do i do this for Nova", Nova rolled her eyes and gave an exhausted answer, "For as long as you want, you can stay at my place until your ready to go home if you want", Rose thought about the suggestion as she turned her head to see Rei giving an annoyed look at her outfit before walking over and blaming Rin for her odd choice of outfit that day, "I'd like that" Rose began as she stood up pulling Gale with her, "let's go say hello".

Rose walked over to the bickering pair, hand in hand with Gale, "Hi boys" Rose exclaimed resting her head on Gale's shoulder, "Whatcha' doing" she teased in a confused tone to make it seem as if she was clueless to the situation. Rei quickly grabbed Rose's wrist pulling her aside, "WHAT THE HELL ROSE" Rose was immediately shocked by Rei's anger, he had never once yelled at her, but she was supposed to be 'punishing' him so she looked over at Nova as if to ask what to do, Nova mouthed "yell back", Rose nodded and turned to Rei and started, "WHAT'S SO WRONG, I'M NOT A CHILD ANYMORE REI", Rei was angered by this so he started again, "I DOESN'T MATTER IF YOUR A CHILD OR NOT, YOU SHOULDN'T DRESS LIKE THAT", Rei stormed off to prevent him from saying something he would regret. Rose took a deep breath before turning back around to see everyone's shocked faces except for Nova who was giving her the two thumbs up, she sighed and walked off gesturing for Nova and Gale to follow, "Lunch okay?" Rose turned around to shout back at Rin with a lip bite and a wink followed by her grabbing Gale's arm and turning back around continuing her path to her first class.

-TIME SKIP/LUNCH-

"So it's okay to leave him alone" Gale questioned, "I'm so so sorry i forgot that you'd be affected by this to" Nova apologized, nuzzling his arm. "Hey I got that guy's number" Rose exclaimed sitting down and gesturing to the cashier, "ugh you could do so much better" Nova complained, "hey its a start" she joked. The group sat waiting for their food as they joked about their newly embraced Rose.

"She said she'd be here" Rin thought to himself while he sat alone at an empty lunch table, he decided after ten minutes to text her, {Hey where are you, did something happen}, he looked down at his phone at the three dots until he heard a ding, {sorry she isnt coming, rain check, -Nova XOXO}, Rin read the message on his phone texted again, {is she coming to next class?}, shortly after he heard another ding, {Nope sorry im taking her somewhere to buy her some new clothes ;)}, Rin sighed and walked over to Rei, "Hey your sister is skipping the rest of the day", "what" Rei responded, Rin continued, "Nova texted off of Rose's phone saying she was gonna take Rose to buy some new clothes", Rei immediately got up and stormed out of the cafeteria without another word. {WHERE THE HELL R U?} Rei texted and almost immediately got a response, {sorry we are gone and im turning off her phone}, it may have seemed like Rei was overreacting at the time but Rei knew what Nova meant by 'go to buy new clothes', he experienced it first hand when Nova had got Rei and Sylvia together in the first place, and Nova might've been the only one who knew about those two. Rei wasn't gonna let that happen to Rose, not to his younger sister, but Nova wasn't dumb enough to go to a store close by was she?

"How's this" Nova said pulling out a short white leather dress, "It would look good on you" Rose agreed, "Well glad ya like it cause there's one in black to" Nova squealed gesturing to the changing rooms, Rose sighed and grabbed the dress, "Gale will you tell us how they look" Nova pleaded, Gale just nodded and watched the girls walk into the changing room, shortly after they came out and Nova took a selfie, "So, how is it" Nova asked Gale happily, Gale looked at the dresses and noticed how the v neck line risked them exposing everything in the middle of the store and not to mention the dresses were short, very short, he didn't want Nova wearing that in front of anyone but him however he just complimented her, "It looks nice, you should get it, you too Rose", "oh okay, thanks i guess", Rose responded. Nova picked out some more outfits for Rose, most of them with low cut tops and short skirts or shorts, "we got enough" Rose sated sarcastically, "never" Nova joked as she paid for the clothes.

The trio left the store into the parking lot they saw Rei, closing his car door, obviously pissed, Gale grabbed Rose and pushed her behind him while Nova waved, "hey Rei, watcha' doin' here" Nova asked in a clueless tone, Rei looked at Rose and she seemed fine, not worried, her makeup was just as it was before and her hair was the same as well, "wait, you didn't think i'd do 'that' to her did you", Nova questioned slightly offended, Rei shut his mouth and tried to brush it off as a coincidence but Nova was already mad, "f-y-i you were not my best friend when i did that and i knew you loved her, she loves you too, however Rose has yet to get that twinkle in her eye, so for now, she's safe" Gale walked over and got in the car along with Rose while they waited for Nova to stop screaming at Rei. Once she did she quickly got in the car and they drove off leaving Rei confused and exhausted, as he got his car and drove home and heard a ding, he looked at his phone, {Hey, I'm staying at Nova's for a another night if that's ok}, "Rose", Rei sighed. *ding*, Rei looked down again, {NOVA HERE, rose said shes done messing with u, but if u wanna gang up on Rin, shes cool with that}, Rei just chuckled at Nova's text and turned back around, "We have the house to ourselves for a little bit", Sylvia yawned and stretched her arms revealing herself, "perfect" Sylvia teased as Rei lied down.
