[color=ff5fc0]Interacting With:[/color] Alex via Text [@Legion02]
[color=ff5fc0]Date:[/color] April 25th[/b][/center][hr]

It was only brief moments after that she had put her phone away into her purse, which was slung across her shoulder, that it buzzed again. Glancing over to the other two talking at the table, she slipped her pink-cased phone into her hand and checked the new message curiously.

To Everyone:

[color=#ff00c3]Dibs. I call dibs. I called them first. She’s riding with me.[/color][/b]

Melrose stared at the text message for a few moments. Someone was already so eager to ride with her? Well, at least it was another woman - that she couldn't complain about. Though with her chances, it was just an overly friendly part of the group - like that one friend who wanted to make friend with everyone and saw Rose as a potential new 'girlfriend' to chat about boys about - oh how wrong that was going to be! Still, it made her feel a little bit more comfortable. Though soon enough, another text came in, this time to her privately.

For a moment, all Rose could do is tilt her head in thought and be thankful the poor guy wasn't right in front of her as a wash of expressions crossed her face. Mostly, she felt uncomfortable by the private invitation by Alex. Without knowing if he was just naive or trying to pull a fast one, there was no way in hell she was jumping in a car with a guy - alone. For her safety and sanity, she assumed no one else was going to be riding with Alex. It only took a split second after that to decide that her response would be a flat no. She didn't want to be mean though, but even the idea of riding with a super friendly, boy-gossiping girl was a million times more preferable.

From Rose:

[color=ff5fc0]Belle apparently has 'dibs' on me already. Thanks for the offer though![/color][/b][/quote]
Sure her thoughts were a bit more blunt, like, [i]'no thanks, I don't want to ride with a guy alone - even if I did like guys,'[/i] but she wanted to be nice. Who knows, maybe he really was just trying to be nice? It was a sweet, but definitely naive gesture in her mind - they were [b][i]strangers[/i][/b] after all.
