118 Chapter 10: Winter, Dealing with Bullies

Rose was walking down to her class, when, she stopped for a moment and heard a whisper.

"Here she comes."

She had almost forgotten about Anthony's fan club, and she was wondering when they would start messing with her as she saw a girl about to run into her. Rose quickly dodged and moved along. She saw that her desk was littered with gum.

Now, this is the classic bullying she was used to. As she cleaned it up with a smile, shocking her classmates around her.

Rose was eating lunch with two other girls from class. She knew what was coming next as two girls who were supposedly walking by threw there were. Since she had already eaten her tray clean, she used it to catch the food flying towards, without getting a single piece on her.

"Are you okay?" Rose said to the girl who fake tripped

"Yeah, okay" the girl was shocked at Rose's positiveness.

School had ended with no more incidents.

Buzzzz, Rose phone rang "Hello."

"Are, you still at school' Anthony asked.

"Yes, on the ground floor."

"Come to the special class."

"Sorry, No can do."

"I said…."

"You mother had also said I should come home immediately after school to cook and to clean, Goodbye" Rose cut him off and hang up while giggling, she wasn't dumb enough to follow him blindly and besides what other reason would he call her up to their besides something awful.

The next day.

Rose opened her locker to find that her gym uniform had been torn to shreds. She saw that the girls behind her were taking pictures of her. She smiled as waved before pulling out another gym uniform from her bag, giving the girls a little shock.

Tomorrow, there is going to a party for the company's new product. Rose thought to herself as she is most likely going to be cleaning instead of participating.

She is more than happy to send more alone time with Winter than anything else. At least that's what she expected.

Until she had to replace one of the servers at the party, now Rose is smiling while severing the guest.

"Hey, What's with the waitress expression."

"Sir, would you like a drink?" She ignored him

"Hey"

"Well, sir, if there is nothing else you need" She turned around, but not without catching the glint in his eyes. She knew that he wanted to trip her. She dodged his incoming foot and walked on toward the other guest. Rose had seen that June had arrived with his girlfriend.

"Sir, Ma'am, would you like a drink" She smiled at them. June was somewhat surprised.

"No, I'm good," he said

"Hey, Anthony," the women said to Anthony who was right behind Rose.

"Well, then, enjoy the party" Rose walked away quickly not forgetting to doge Anthony's foot wanting to try and trip her again. She continued to work and serve drinks to the guest. When she saw a pair of familiar eyes on her. She paused and shivered her Mother was here, talking to Anna while her eyes where directly on Rose. It seems Anna has yet to notice the resemblance between her guest and Rose.

"Excuse me miss" Rose heard a voice from behind her as she turned around smiling like a good waitress.

"Yes, Sir, would you like a drink" she responded.

"Allison," he said. Rose realized she knew this person as well when he called her by the name her adoptive parents had given her.

"Jean?" she said

"Yes, it's me, Dorky Jean"

"Pffff." she chuckled "It certainly is" she looked back up at him.

"Everyone back in France thinks you're dead," he said, "I always wondered what happen to you."

Rose was silent, she looked down and then back to her mother

"She told me you were still alive and what had happened to you," Jean said as he pointed to her mother.

"Jean let's talk outside," Rose said softly.
