Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed novel Chapter 606

Mamie rolled her eyes with an "I knew it" expression plastered across her face.

Turning around, she caught Scales staring at her. Swallowing hard, she asked, "What are you looking at me for?"

Scales, with a lowered voice, replied, "It's not like you were the one asked for your number. Why the nerves?"

"I'm just worried about Roseanne. It's one thing after another, so annoying... But hey, Caley, with Roseanne being so gorgeous and academically gifted, don't you have even a tiny crush on her?"

"Am I?"

"No."

"Then, my friend, you must be blind."

Scales stared at her, then burst into laughter, "Maybe I am blind."

Mamie was puzzled.

Meanwhile, Roseanne glanced at a boy, "Sorry, I don't go to your school."

"It's okay. Maybe we could exchange numbers?"

"That wouldn't be appropriate."

"Why not?"

"I have a boyfriend."

The boy's cheeks flushed red, "Oh... I see... Sorry to bother you!" He quickly turned and walked away.

Roseanne sighed in relief.

On their way back to the lab, Mamie suddenly asked, "Roseanne, you got a boyfriend?"

"No. Just said that to brush him off."

It was the simplest, most indisputable reason.

"So, you plan to use that excuse for anyone who asks you out?"
