"I can assure you that's a damn lie, " She replied back, her arms and legs crossed over as she sat atop the old desk. "You're above average, but let's not get ahead of ourselves, " While her tone was serious, the smirk playing on her lips made it clear she was messing with him. "Now, I understand you need too cool off, but seriously, what the hell was that even about?" She asked-- referring to the fact he decided to blindside her by pinning her to the tree and kissing her. While it was most definitely not unwanted, it was unexpected.

Frankly, she just expected to huff off in an angsty, silent, grumpy slump like he usually did... But nope. 

"And think you're a victim? That's bullshit. Neither of us is victims. A survivor, but not a victim. I was angry at him, because I care about you, idiot. Don't mistake my rage for anything but what it is. And even if I had, who are you to talk? You're treated me like China or something. I'm not porcelain or easily breakable. I don't care that you want to protect me. I care that you're pretending this, " She said pointing between them, " Doesn't matter and can't happen, and you're making the decisions on my safety for me," She hopped down, smoothing out her skirt. "I'm not going to even argue with you about this. I just needed you to know that what you said was a joke and next time you kiss me, don't use it as a weapon to throw me off." She went to walk away, her lips pursed as she was visibly upset, but really, she didn't like to cry or give any other reactions she considered uncomfortable.

Rosa had become considerably better at keep her violence to a minimum at the very least. However, when she wanted to rip someone a new one... She was still just as loud as ever. She was angry, especially given the circumstances. They both had shit lives, at times, outside of their school lives without having each other the talk to. They kept the darker parts out mostly, given they were both difficult people that kept their problems hushed, but still. When she needed to vent, he was there-- begrudgingly, maybe, but there none the less. 

She froze as the boy spoke, but hadn't looked at him just yet... Pondering if she should just keep walking and save herself the trouble, but when she heard him express that he had wanted to kiss her she stood a moment... "Why..." She turned finally, crossing her arms over as she looked him in the eye, " And do not give me any excuses. Why did you kiss me if you don't want me, " Her voice was calm as she watched him. She cared about him more than she had with any of the boys she'd 'wrapped around her finger' as he'd put it. If he told her right then and there that he had wanted her the other day at the lake, she wouldn't have even questioned it...

But now? Here he was leaving her completely conflicted. 

"I already thought I made myself clear. I'm not chasing you. If you don't want something from me, then fine. I can stop, but don't you dare lie to me. I may like to play with people, but I do not give anyone a false impression of our arrangement." She was on the defensive... Worried she cared too much about this boy that didn't want the same things from her.

Rosa "I just... Don't want to feel like an idiot putting too much into this for nothing, " She admitted as she watched him give her a huge level of attitude right back-- clearly, he was offended by her defenses that included her refusing to let herself fall for a lie. But, she knew Felix. She knew he was as brutally honest as she was, but neither of them were easy to crack open, but, for the sake of not ruining it she simply nodded.

"Believe me, " She remarked, sliding down from the desk top with her arms still crossed over as she looked at him, " I will not pity you, " She growled, " But I pity anyone that puts their hands on you. The only question is just what path I decide on when I usher them to a slow and painful death... Or at least torture, " She huffed. He meant more than just her feelings. He'd been her friend as long as she could remember, but she and him always kept their family lives hushed. However, now she knew she needed to know more...

And honestly? He probably needed to know about her family too.

But first...

She smirked as the boy called her out, resting her hands at Felix's hips. She loved those rare moments when she could see his playful side. "And yet you ran off so quickly..." She gave a playful pout before chuckling softly, " But, you know, you could make it up to me, mio bello, " She teased.

Rosa wasn't one to just let things go when she had her mind set on something. She was bullheaded and stubborn as much as she was spoiled, so when she had an idea in her mind... She didn't divert from it. She wanted something, she took it. She wanted to be the prefect: she worked her little tail off and she took it. She wanted a boy: she wrapped him around her finger. She wanted to punish someone: it happened.

She figured he knew this by now, brushing off the subject nonchalantly, " We'll see, " She wouldn't say she wouldn't do it. She was many things, but a liar wasn't one of them...

She grinned as the boy asked her what she wanted-- at least, she grinned til he booped her on the nose. She rubbed bit, scrunching her nose a bit at him as he messed with her. "I think you owe me at least some attention for running off and leaving me hanging, and a replacement picnic for the perfectly good one you left, " She remarked. She wanted spoiled for the headache he gave her never mind all the times she did the same to him, " And, I dont have to share you. I also want that, " She chuckled. She didn't need a relationship per sa, but she knew that she wasn't the type to not get jealous-- and the last thing either of them needed was her wrath on a fellow student. "I feel these are fairly reasonable requests."

she quicker a brow as he tucked her hair behind her ear, her bright eyes scanning him over as if she was trying to read what was going through his head in that moment, but that just seemed like an exercise in futility.

"Bupbupbup, I didn't say anything about a boyfriend, " She remarked putting up her index finger as if she were closing him, " We will not start the rumor that I ask people, " She didn't. She was always the asked rather than the asker. Spoiled. She knew it, but she was quite set in her ways.

"I simply said that I won't share you, " She remarked placing a kiss at his neck playfully, a devilish grin turned up at him as she snaked her arms behind his neck, " But you and food. Whatever title you decide to take is on you, " She teased. He could've called her his girlfriend, lady friend, monogamous fling-- she was just glad they finally figured out this whole back and forth banter.

She smiled a bit, genuinely this time as she cradled his jaw, gently caress the line of it with her thumb.

@felix

She smiled, wrapping her arms around him with a smile. She was... Happy. She didn't get to enjoy true happiness often. Maybe she could be happy, but this was blissful and she felt no pressure at all. However; one thing was certain-- she was his. She wouldn't openly admit it, but the smug smile on her face made it quite evident that she was happy with the response he gave her. He refused to share. That was something they could agree on.

She had a certain giddyness under her exterior as he flirt and kissed her. She was more than accepting as she fluttered, kissing at his lips in return, " How often do you ever hear of me elevating anyone to that title, " She grinned, as if it was the equivalent of a throne next to her. Perhaps if she married someone, they could consider marrying her the same as a coronation-- they would take on her family's mantle as the top wizarding mob in Italy.

She smiled, " I'd love to get a little snack, " She gave suggestive eyes, quirking a brow before chuckling softly, " What are in the mood for?" She took his hand with a smile, lacing her fingers with his.
