Jo and I were at the park. The one that we went to all the time when we were kids and is about two blocks away from my house. Jo started to walk away from me and I didn't know what to do. He looked over his shoulder and called back to me,"Come on Rose."

I started to follow,"Were are we going?" I said trying to catch up to him.

"To the woods... like we did when we were kids." Jo said like you should know that. I guess I should have because when we would be at the park we always went in the woods... We almost never played on the playground. So I followed Jo into the woods like the old times. When we got to the old trail I could see little lights flickering. We started walked closer and closer to the lights. I could tell what there were until I was almost right upon then and I saw the picnic all spread out. It was so cute and sweet that he did that.... He could be so romantic. I turned to face him and asked,"So where does this put us?"

"I guess we will just have to see where it goes." Jo saying pulling me closer to him. Wye both lean into a kiss... just then I heard a beeping noise start. I could find out where it was coming from... I opened up my eyes and I'm in my room. Why did I just dream about Jo like that. When I looked at the clock I relieved I was going to be late for school. I got up as fast as I could and pulled on some jeans and a T-shit. The shirt was a little baggy but I had to go... I pulled my hair up into a messy bun and brushed my teeth. I run out the door and did my make-up in the car on the way to school. I got there just as the bell rang and as soon as I got in first block Danielle started making fun of my outfit. Then Jo walked in and she run over to see if his face was OK. After Jo got away from her and sat down we started talking. I looked over at his black eye and asked,"So are you OK?"

"Yeah it doesn't hurt." He shrugged it off.

"So you never told me... Why did you punch them?" I wanted to know was it more of protecting me like a sister or because he really did care for me.

"I think you know why Rose." Jo said turning around in his sit to face the teach. Ms. Smith made everyone stop talking.... I would try to talk to Jo but she wouldn't let us. At the end of the class she let us talk so turned to Jo to ask the same question. I was about to speak when I was cut off by Danielle saying," You look really bad today Rose."

"O thanks because I love your opinion Danielle... I live to hear what you have to say." I told her sarcastically while rolling my eyes

"I think she looks beautiful." Jo added in. I smiled at him and he just smiled back... No wink or smart remark. It kinda shocked me then Naeveh said,"You guys are acting weird." to me and Jo and I had to agree with her I thought Jo would have said some smart remark by now but I didn't want to get into all that so I just said,"I don't think so."

Just then the bell rang and Jo and I walked to are next class together. "Here I'll carry your books." Jo told me.

"It's OK Jo I've got it." I told him picking up all my stuff.

"Well then I hope you don't drop them." Jo said with a wicked smirk and a wink.

"You wouldn't." I said stepping away from them.

"I would and I think you know that." Jo said stepping closer and before I could step away my books were on the ground. When he was helping me pick them up he got over half of them... I gave up and let him carry them. When we got to are next class and sat down I asked,"Can I have my books back now?"

"Ya here..." Jo said handing them over,"I told you to let me carry them." Jo said with his famous smirk.

"You still shouldn't have made me drop them." I said kinda laughing and shaking my head. We both were laughing when Hannah walked in.

She gave us a weird look and asked,"So what's with you guys?... your acting weird today."

I stopped Laughing but still had a small smile on my face when I said,"Why does everyone keep saying that?"

Hannah just rolled her eyes and said,"Well maybe because your acting weird around each other'"

Still smiling I said,"No we're not." I couldn't help but laugh... ya Jo was being a little weird but it wasn't a big deal... He weird sometimes.

She just smiled, shock her head, and said,"Yes you are."

I could think of what to say and the next thing to pop out of my mouth came out before I realized,"Well maybe it's because we were making out the other night." I tried to pull it off sarcastically so I added,"Did you eve think of that." rolling my eye and turning my head way from her.... I could see Jo's eyes pop out of his head... He looked like he was about it die but I know Hannah wouldn't believe it... even if I wasn't saying sarcastically she would never believe it.

Hannah just turned away and said,"Whatever Rose now your just being stupid."

I kinda smiled as I turned back and then seeing Jo's face drop from worry then to disbelief... I could barely hold back laughter as I said,"I told you nothing is wrong." I relieved Jo still had a look of confusion or disbelief still on his face and I wondered why? what did Hannah or I say to make his look so confused right now... with his brow drone in you could see him think something over. He also kinda looked hot when we was thinking something over... OMG I didn't really just think that. The bell rang and we couldn't talk in that class because we had a big test... most people didn't even finish the test. We headed to launch... Hannah and Ryan took off in front of us.

Jo pulled me to the side of the hall and waited until nobody was around when he said, "Why did you tell her that we made out... That was a really close call."

I just rolled my eyes and started walking away, "I knew she wouldn't believe me... Calm down Jo." I don't know why but I almost felt hurt... Jo is acting like he doesn't want anyone to know. I didn't think it was that big of a deal and am I really that bad or ugly that he doesn't want people to know?

He was walking beside me now. I could see him looking at me out of the corner of my eyes. He kinda looked worried but more amused,"What if she did?"

That was it I stopped right there in the middle of the hall... even tho no one was around,"What if I don't care because you want to know something I don't keep things from my friend. That just starts fights and unwanted drama." I pretty much yelled at him I turned to walk away. Jo graded my arm and turned me around to face him.

He had a big smile on hi face that he was trying to hide... Why was he so happy anyways,"So you don't care if your friends know?" He asked kinda shocked but looked pleased.

We stared walking again and I could tell he was looking at me again when I started talking,"No because ever sense are first kiss they have been telling me that I should go out with you anyway." Jo just stopped walking... really I want to get to launch whats his problem now,"Come on Jo. What's wrong anyways?"

"O... nothing I guess... I was just... Surprised... You know that they said that."

We walked to launch and didn't say much to each other. Really we didn't talk much for the rest of the day. It was kinda weird. Almost as if he was mad at me.
