Jack looked at Rosie and swallowed hard, feeling hurt. It was obvious that she, Ophelia and maybe Cascada had seen the event earlier but he wondered what her problem was: so what if he blew off a date with a girl, was it really any of her buissness? He ran a hand through hishair, glad that her friends didn't say anything about it. He tried to ignore what she said but he couldn't; it just hit him hard and everything was too much for him.
"Okay, what's that supposed to mean?" He asked, clenching his fists, not seeing the two other guys that were joining their group. "Yeah, maybe I didn't let her have my number but what the hell is that to you? I just came here trying to talk to you guys and you, Rosie, don't have the decency to give me a hi, a nice one. Who I date is none of your buissness." He spat every word at her with the anger that was boiling up inside of him but it was clear that he wasn't really angry, just hurt with what she said. He turned on his heel and bumped into Toby and Chase and mumbled a sorry, not looking up at them, and walked off to his first class. He wondered wever even tried, sometimes.
Cascada watched Jack walk away and shouted after him. "Jack, wait!" She shouted, wanting to run after him. But she knew Jack's stubborn-like nature and wouldn't talk things him. She frowned and turned back, giving a quick hi to the boyin standing next to her. She looked at Rosie as sighed.
"No offence," Cascacda started, watching in the direction where Jack walked off in. "But that was uncalled for." She saw the look on Rosie's face and raised her hands up in surrender. "I mean I get that he's an asshole sometimes but you just don't get him, Rosie. Jack works...differently. He might have upset that girl but there was a reason, surely. He does things with purpose. Maybe he made her upset so one of his friends would comfort her, ever think of that?"
She started to fidget with her bracelets and then shook her head, running a hand through her hair. "Look, all I'm saying is that the guy has problems...so give him some space."
