Anna, who was usually more observant because... well... she was trained to fight strigoi and they usually attacked from stealth, nearly jumped out of her skin. "Shit!" She took a breath, her eyes landing on Rae and groaned, "Really... you?" She sighed, "I knew letting Jace talk me into this was a bad idea." She rubbed the back of her neck, god she was out of practice. She'd have to train with some of the other guardians. The quiet life of Guarding a ward that stayed at home the majority of the time had dulled her skill despite all the time she'd spent training on her own to try and stay sharp.

She straightened, wishing she weren't wearing just a tank and some tight fitting work out pants and a jacket. Still, getting dressed into anything else this morning with a broken wrist would have been near to impossible. "So, is this some kind of joke? You two decided to screw with me now that Gunner and I...?" She ran a hand through her hair, realizing she was being overly hostile. She took a breath, "Sorry..."

She stood there awkwardly for a moment, "I'm not trying to be a bitch... it just seems to be my go to lately." She rubbed the back of her neck, "How did Jace rope you into this anyway? Compulsion? It seems to be his thing," she muttered.

She sighed, "I think he's crazy... if you want honesty." She eyed him, aside from Gunner he was one of few able to get under her skin. The Moroi had been teasing her since gradeschool... Pulling hair, making jokes, pointing out her coming from the commune, anything he could do to irritate her. She'd usually had an okay grip on her temper but Rae could bring it to the surface in a heartbeat when he wanted. They'd been butting heads since forever, it was like a hobby for them.... Then, around freshman year he'd started chasing skirts and had mostly left her alone aside from a few pranks in class... and Anna and Gunner had started growing closer too...

She wanted to ramble but for once managed to keep her tongue in check, she wasn't exactly sure what Rae and Jace were up to but Jace did have one thing right... Worrying about the two of them might keep her mind off of other things...

Seb exited the class and smiled brightly... till he saw Serena's face. A soft hiss escaped him and he cupped her chin, turning her face to the side so he could get a better look at the bruise. "I'm going to kill Gunner..."
