Anna finally got a good look at him when he turned to face her and felt the familiar flutter in her chest at the sight of him without his shirt... some heat rising to her cheeks. Why did he have to affect her so much? She rubbed the back of her neck, "We need to talk..."

Such a lame way to start off this discussion. She knew he wouldn't want to, knew he'd probably try to blow her off again, but she wasn't going to let him... Not this time. She'd run from him, hadn't given him a chance to explain... but nothing was ever going to change if the pattern just kept going. This was it, this was the now or never. Either they faced this, tried to fix it... Or Anna had to find a way to make herself feel whole again. She took a breath, steeling herself and deciding that she WAS doing this.

She took on a fighting stance, "Since you refuse to listen, we're going to blow off steam first... You don't have a choice. I don't care if you have to throw me to the mat 50 times, bust my lip, or dislocate my arm... We're doing this... and when we're done, you are GOING to listen."

She'd refined her fighting style since she'd last seen him, she wasn't nearly as strong or as skilled as he was anymore but maybe the change in the way she fought would buy her some time. He wouldn't be expecting it... She knew he wouldn't want to fight her when he was angry at her, or at least back when he'd cared he hadn't wanted to... Now, she wasn't sure what he'd do but if he tried to refuse she was going to throw the first punch anyway.

Seb chuckled softly but his mood sobered when he saw Serena's mood plummet. He slid his arms around her, "It's going to be fine. They can't go on like this forever. Something has to give and when it does they'll move past this... even if it's in opposing directions. Anna adores you, no way would she ever be upset with you or envious... She'll be happy for both of us, I'm sure."

As far as Gunner went, he wasn't sure... Marks had been pushing them away for a while now so he wasn't sure what his friend thought. He knew it was probably because Gunner didn't want Seb reading his aura... or his thoughts.

"Come on, let's head to class."
