The Invincible Full-Moon System
Chapter 15 Rosie’s Deal

'What's with this vibe? It's so awkward', Rex thought.

After staring at each other longer than normal, Rosie said, "What are you standing around for, just sit down"

Rex snapped back to reality and nodded his head, they both sit on the corner of the restaurant where nobody was near enough to hear their conversations or so they thought,

Adhara is following Rex like a real stalker, 'Is he meeting with this Rosie girl? Who is she? Well, I'm just suspicious about yesterday night event', She thought trying to lie to herself about the reason for following Rex.

Rosie and Rex sit in front of each other, they both still have this awkward silence covering them.

Rosie looks like she wanted to say something but it's stuck on her throat, so she looks down avoiding Rex's gaze.

Rex on the other hand is thinking about how should he ask the question, should he be direct or not.

Finding that they will get nowhere if Rex waits for Rosie to say something, Rex decided to ease the mood a bit.

"What class are you in? I thought you are in high school", Rex asks trying to ease up the mood.

Hearing this, Rosie rebutted, "I'm in class 1-B. What? You're saying I look like a minor?", Rosie felt wrong when hearing Rex said that.

"I mean, you look young that's all", Replied Rex while smiling wryly.

After saying that, the mood changes back into an awkward mood.

Rex observed Rosie who is still looking down, he noticed that Rosie is playing with her hands and Rex can see her fingers are trembling.

"Are you afraid of me?", asks Rex.

Hearing this, Rosie didn't reply and stay silent.

Rex smiles and said, "Don't worry it's a slip up of mine, It won't happen again", Rex said. He looks at the menu trying to figure out what to order.

Rosie glance at Rex who is flipping the menu, 'Looking at him now, I still can't believe that he can turn into such monster'

After ordering, Rex asks, "So, did you say anything to your parents? I'm sure I make quite a mark on your training room", Rex asks half-jokingly.

Rosie lifts her head up and replied, "I just said that there's a stray werewolf that breaks into the house, thankfully when they got there it left", her voice was getting lower as she says this.

Hearing this Rex sigh in relief, "You lie expecting me to give something in return, so what is it?", If Rosie didn't want anything from him, she definitely wouldn't help to hide his identity.

"I want something from you but you have to answer my question first", Rosie said while looking at Rex with a serious expression.

Rex with his confused look nodded his head,

"Are you on the side of Humanity? or Supernatural?", Rosie asks while still looking at Rex with anticipation, her voice is whispering afraid of being heard.

Before Rex can answer she continues, "If you are on the side of Humanity I want you to pretend to be my boyfriend but if you are on the side of Supernatural, I want you to kill me..."

Hearing this, Rex is splashed by a tide of confusion, His eyes widened in surprise.

'What the heck? Why is the request so in contrast with each other? Why did she want me to pretend to be her boyfriend or asking me to kill her? What's her reason?', Rex thought in his head.

Another silence covers both of them,

Rex is maintaining eye contact while thinking, after a minute or so, he has a guess of the reasoning behind Rosie.

"So your family wants you to be safe so they're going to marry you to the son of a high-ranking family with an asshole personality, You want to be with me to avoid that if I'm a good guy, but want me to end your life if I'm not a good guy. Am I close?", Rex guess trying to uncover the reasoning behind Rosie.

Rosie smiles, "Close, My family wants to marry me to a high-ranking family to raise our family ranks after knowing that I have average talent. I can only get into rank four Awakened in my lifetime.", she explains with a smile on her face.

If someone looks at her smile, they might think that it is a sad smile but not Rex.

"But you knew my answer right", Rex said after he came to a realization.

In the night when Rex transforms into a werewolf, Rex remembers that Rosie and he fight but he can't control his body. But when he's about to give the final blow, Rex tries so hard to control his body and jumped out of the window.

Rosie's smiles turn into a smirk, "Yes, that night you jumped out of the window instead of finishing me"

Rex massages his forehead with a frown, "Basically you're making me a scapegoat?"

Rosie nodded her head with giving Rex her most beautiful smile.

Looking at this Rex sigh, "How do you know that I will comply with your terms?"

"Oh, My mouth suddenly felt itchy. Should I tell dad how monstrous you are that night? That would be problematic don't you think so?", Rosie said with an evil smile plastered on her lips.

"You..!", Rex points at Rosie but exhales a heavy breath to ease his anger, he then continues, "You know that I can get rid of you right?"

Hearing this, Rosie walks towards Rex and sits beside him.

She then whispers to Rex's ear, "You can, but you won't", she said while giving a wink to Rex, then she continues playfully, "Besides, I won't be a bad girlfriend don't worry"

Rex was deep in thought, 'This girl is really...sigh forget it. Let's just agree to her as thanks for hiding my identity'

Rosie lift her pinky finger and said, "Deal?"

Rex sighs helplessly, "Fine", he also lifts his pinky finger and locks it with Rosie's.

Before Rosie can celebrate, Rex said, "Don't get the wrong idea, I'm just doing this to repay you"

"Oh really sweetheart, Your eyes glued to my body the moment you arrived here", Rosie said playfully.

Rex smile wryly, "Cut me some slack, I'm a normal guy", he said while starting to eat the food he ordered that has just arrived.

"Don't worry, You might do more than just looking if you help me for real", Rosie said while hugging Rex's arm that immediately Rex shrug off followed by Rosie's laughing sweetly.

After eating his meal, Rex and Rosie leave the restaurant.

Rosie is hugging Rex's arm with a brimming smile on her face like a koala, Rex just sighs letting Rosie do whatever she wants, He's not complaining though.

Meanwhile, Adhara that sits not far from them hears almost all of their conversations.

Her eyes are blank in thought, 'Jumped out the window? Monstrous that night? End her life? What the heck did he do?!', Adhara screams after she eavesdrops on Rex's conversations with Rosie.

The next morning,

Rex prepares for his class, as usual, he put on his casual clothes and went to the class.

His daily life didn't change much besides working out and going to class.

The difference between these days is that every time Rex got out of his room, Rosie is waiting for him in front of his room.

Class 1-B and 1-C are not in line with each other but Rosie insists that she will walk Rex to class, Rosie takes no answer besides yes.

Rex helplessly walks side by side with Rosie, He's not used to being the center of attraction.

Rosie is the dime in class 1-B, she has many pursuers that give Rex an unfriendly look.

"Who is that guy? Why is miss Rosie hugging his arm like that?"

"No... My princess"

"Life is unfair, How did a non-awakened trash like him get Rosie"

Rex face-palm himself while hearing the crowd talking and cursing him, He tries to shrug Rosie from his arm to no avail.

'Calm down Rex, she's crazy so you need to please her lest she did something crazy', just as Rex thought about it, Rosie stops suddenly and declare to the crowd.

"Listen up! This is my new boyfriend he's in class 1-C! If you have the guts just challenge him", She said with her chest puffed up.

Meanwhile, Rex was struck by thunder when he heard Rosie's declaration.

Before she can even say more, Rex put his hand on Rosie's mouth to stop her, "What are you doing?!"

Rosie breaks free from Rex's hand and replies, "Well you're my boyfriend so naturally you need to prove yourself, also, it is easier to convince my parents if you're famous"

Then Rosie whispers to his ear, "You're a werewolf, you'll be fine", she said playfully.

Rex can't take any of her teasings anymore so he leaves Rosie and got into his class.

From the glassed door, Rosie sent a kiss bye and wink at him under the gaze of his classmates.

Rex's classmates look at him in unison, he feels the unfriendly gaze of the guys in the room like a sword ready to pierce him at any moment.

Although Rosie is in class 1-B, she is pretty famous throughout the university because of her beauty and killer body.

Naturally, all guys from different classes dream of becoming her boyfriend even the upperclassmen.

Adhara's and Laura's eyes also stare blankly at him, they both have a gloomy vibe.

Rex is regretting his decision in agreeing to Rosie, 'This is too much, I need to be low profile, LOW PROFILE!', he screamed inside his head.

Just when he's about to sleep while waiting for Mr. Joseph to come to class, a group of guys walks inside the class and shouted, "Which one of you is Rex?!"

Rex jolted awake when he heard his name was called,

He thought that Mr. Joseph is calling him because he's sleeping, but when he looks up he saw four guys standing just beside the door with an unfriendly vibe.

'What a great start in pretending to be Rosie's boyfriend. The first day, a group of guys is coming to beat me up, what a great day', he thought ridiculing himself as he imagines the days he will go through in pretending to be Rosie's boyfriend.
