A few weeks had passed, and rose and I had become pretty good friends! The next semester was starting, so rose was stressed.
"What if my professor doesn't like me?! What if I don't like my professor?!" She rambled. I was on my bed, listening to her worries.
"You will be fine, Rosie. You're, like, the most likable person ever." I said, trying to comfort her.
She just sat down on the bed, slumping on my side. "But-" "no buts, rosemary. You are an amazing person." I grab her shoulders, making her look into my eyes.
She then softly smiled. "Thank you, Jack. Your such a nice person." I blushed, not knowing what to do.
She giggles, pulling away from me. When I let her go, she walks over to her bag. She pulls out what looks like a sketch book.
"I wanted to show you this, but I wasn't sure." She blushed, flipping through the pages. When she stopped, she pushed the book to me.
When I looked at the book, I was amazed. It was a painting of the sunset, but a faint face could be seen.
It was so pretty!
"Rose! I didn't know you could paint! This is so good!" I say, probably with stars in my eyes. Her face heated up more, making her look adorable.
"T-thanks! I practice often..." she looks down shyly, rubbing the back of her neck. God, I'm going to die of cuteness!
We hear a knock at the door. "Come in!" Rose yells. The door opens, and in comes Felix.
"Hey guys! So I found out that the school is having a festival soon." The brunette says. "Ooo~ that sounds fun! Wanna go Jack?" Rose asks me.
"Sure. It sounds fun." I responded. It did sound fun! "When does it happen?" "Next week." He replied.
"Nice! I'll have to go shopping for clothes then!" Rose said, clapping her hands together. "Can I come? I could help." I ask. To be honest, I just wanted to spend time with her.
"Sure! I need someone's opinion, and it's funner going with friends!" She says. Yeah. Just friends.
"Hey Jack? I need to chat with you for a moment. Alone." Felix says, gesturing towards the door. Shit, I've been caught. "Sure dude."
As we walked out of the room, leaving rose, Felix just snickers.
"You are such a Simp, you know that?" I'm confused. "What do you mean?" I ask.
"You are falling in love with rosemary. It's clear to see."
My face heats up. "I-I don't k-know what you m-mean!" I curse myself internally for stuttering. "Hahaha! It's all over your face!" Felix laughs.
"Boys? Is everything ok out there?" The muffled voice of rose came from my room. "Everything is fine, Rosie! Felix is just being a dick again." I say, re-entering my sad little bedroom.
Her things were all cleaned up. She always kept her area clean.
"Felix, be nice." Rose scolded. "But that's not fun!" Felix complained.
We heard a ding come from roses phone. As she picked up her phone, she groans. "My parents are going to be the death of me..."
"What's wrong?" I ask. I'm worried. Rose never talked about her family. "My family wants me to visit them this weekend... and they expect me to bring a boyfriend."
My heart was racing. Boyfriend? Does she have one? No, she would have told us!

Shit shit shit!
My parents really expect me to have a boyfriend?!
"I c-could pretend to b-be your boyfriend..." Jack stuttered. My face flushed. Him? Pretending to be my boyfriend? I knew I had a crush on him, but I knew he didn't reciprocate those feelings.
But I mean, he would be a good help with my family. "S-sure!" I responded. At this point, we are both beet red.
So I guess he is coming with me this weekend to see my asshole parents.
