I freeze for a second as I remember my day with Two-bit. "Dylan?" Evie asks as she waves her hand in front of my face.

"Huh?" I ask barely being able to talk.

"Steve asks if you've ever gone skinny dipping and you just kind of froze," Evie tells me. I can't tell them about Two-bit, even he doesn't know I'm Rosie.

I look up at them releasing they didn't ask me whole story or who I went with. I loosen up a bit before answering, "yea. Who hasn't?"

"Ooooh who with?" Evie asks.

I smile at her, "once with Soda and once with this guy I met on vacation."

"Okay," she winks. Back to the game. She smiles as she draws a card. "Steve, what were your first impression of me?"

He looks at her, "I honestly thought you were a hot stuck up bitch who would never fall in love with anybody, but herself."

"Wow," she states shocks. "I should be pissed at you, but honestly I thought you were an ugly douche."

"Okay, then," I laugh as I draw a card. "If you were stuck on a deserted island, which friend not wife, would you want to be with you?"

"Sodapop or you," he states as he draws a card. "Evie, what color is your underwear?"

She smiles as she says it, "red lace, completely see through." Steve smirks as he looks at her.

"Okay ewe," is all I say laughing.

Now Evie smiles as she picks up a card, "Dylan, if you could switch places with somebody for a day who would it be and why?"

I think for a little bit before answering, "I'd be Sodapop to see what it's like in war."

"Wow, that's sad," Steve says as he walks out of the room. "Do you have any chocolate cake?"

"No," I yell as I draw a card. "Steve, have you ever cheated on a girlfriend?"

"Nope," he replies as he sits back down. "Never have, never will."

"Have you ever been cheated on?" I ask him.

"Yes, the second day Evie and I were going out I caught Evie kissing another boy, but then she told me he kissed her because, she was also testing the waters with him before I asked her out and he was trying to win her back," he explains kissing her head.

Evie looks up at us, "this is getting boring. What now?"

I shrug, "I don't know."

"Wait! I want to ask Dylan something," Steve yells.

I look up at him, "shoot."

"What's your biggest secret?" He asks.

"Well Rosie," the really cute guy Keith laughs. "I dare you to go into the lake butt naked."

I look at him as if he's crazy, "I'll do al ot of things, but not that. Sorry Keith.

"What if I kiss you?" He asks smirking like crazy.

I can't help, but blush. I like Keith. I like him a lot, but what about Noah. I look at him and smile slightly, "whatever."

"Yes, I got the girl and she's skinny dipping," he hoots. Keith is about sixteen and I'm only thirteen. He told me about his friend Sodapop, he's fourteen, so are his other friends Steve and Johnny, but Johnny doesn't act fourteen he acts more like Ponyboy who's eleven. Darry's the oldest at eighteen, but he's really cool apparently and then there's a guy named Dallas who's also eighteen, that's who Lex is hanging out with. Kendall's hanging out with some other boy outside of Keith's friends. He wants me to meet them, but I'm only staying for two more days so I can't.

I playfully rolls my eyes as I walk away stripping off my clothes and jumping into the freezing cold lake where I shiver. As I walk out I grab the towel Keith left for me and dry off before slipping back into my clothes. As I walk back as I ask him, "happy?"

"Nah, I didn't have my camera ready," he laughs as he holds up a camera.

"Whatever....Two-bit," I joke making up a random nickname to describe him.

"What did you call me?" He asks.

"Two-bit, because you have to put your two sense into everything," I inform him smiling.  "Now, where's my kiss?"

"Right here Princess Rosie," he smiles before leaning in. Our soft lips collide and sparks go off. Our lips move together and before I know it he's nibbling on my bottom lip. I open up for him and let him take romance. It's fantastic! Even though Noah and I have been dating for three months, he's never kissed me before, making this my first kiss. I'm happy though. 

As we pull apart I smile slightly at him biting my lip, "wow."

"Yes, I know," he smiles. "So, Rosie I was wondering if maybe you'd like to be my girl?"

I look up at him with sorry eyes, "Keith, you're a sweet guy and if I was single or lived around here I would, but I live in Jersey and I'm dating a sweet guy names Noah. I'm sorry, I wish you were my boyfriend because, we have a much stronger connection than Noah and I do, but it wouldn't be possible. You don't even know my name."

"Wha-" is he manages to get out.

"I'm sorry...Bye Two-bit," I say as I kiss his forehead. "I'll never forget you and I hope you don't forget me."

He puts he fingers on his lips as I walk away from him tears in my eyes. I hear him mumble, "I'll never forget you either Rosie."

"When did Keith start going by Two-bit?" I ask knowing this is it.

"How do you know his real name? He never told you," Steve asks.

"Just answer the question," I demand.

"When he was sixteen. Why?" He informs me still confused.

"Did he ever tell you about Rosie and the story of his nickname?" I ask. He nods slowly. "Well that was me. I gave him the nickname Two-bit. My biggest secret nobody knows not even Lexi is that I've known Two-bit since I was thirteen."

"He knows though," Steve says.

"No, he doesn't and you're not telling him," I say.

"He has to know!"

"No, he really doesn't."

"Oh my god!"

"Shut up! He was my first kiss and the first guy I went skinny dipping with."

"Wow. My mind is blown."
