Meeting you | LisRene AU [BOOK 1]

"So," Rosé started, leaning back in the seat a bit. She and Lisa were seated in their usual corner of The Bean, after school on Monday. Lisa had been planning on going to the warehouse for the last hour that Irene would be there, but Rosé had insisted, saying that she had to give her her birthday present still. "How was Saturday?"

"Wait, I thought you said you wanted to give me something? Now you just wanna talk about my date with Irene?" Lisa asked, furrowing her eyebrows.

"Uh, yeah?" Rosé rolled her eyes. "We'll get to the present, don't be so greedy. Come on, don't you wanna talk about it? I know you didn't talk about it to your mom yesterday. You were too busy getting money shoved at you."

Lisa crossed her arms. "Yeah, yeah, whatever." She thought back to Saturday, and couldn't fight the smile appearing on her face. "It was amazing. The dinner was great, and then she gave me the drawing that I sent you a picture of. And then... well, I'm sure you can fill in what happened afterward."

"That's all I get?"

"Oh, I'm sorry. Would you like a detailed account?" Lisa raised both of her eyebrows, smirking as Rosé crinkled her nose.

"Okay, fine," she gave in, shrugging.

"Aw, you mean you don't feel like imagining me and Irene having sex?"

Rosé gagged. "You've made your point, Lis. Anyway. So you had a good date?"

"Yes," Lisa answered, smiling apologetically at her best friend.

"Has she dropped the L bomb on you yet?"

"Why do you and Jisoo both keep thinking that's going to happen soon?" Lisa demanded, crossing her arms. "If she loves me, she'll tell me. And if that happens soon, then cool, but it could be a while from now. I don't want to be sitting on the edge of my seat waiting for it just because you and Jisoo think that she's going to tell me soon."

"I'm just saying," Rosé defended herself quickly, "that I think she loves you. And so do her friends. A few of us were talking about it at your birthday party."

Lisa let out a groan, running her hand through her hair. "Well, I don't want to get hung up on it, okay? And neither should any of you. Frankly, details of our relationship isn't really any of your guys' business."

"Alright, fine." Rosé sat up a bit straighter. "I'll cut it out. At least I've finally got used to you and her dating."

"Valid point."

"Anyway, ready to hear what your birthday present is?"

Lisa couldn't help but smile. "Sure."

"So, I talked to Yuqi, and I got her to sneak into the admissions office at YGU. She got our applications and put them at the top of the review list last week after we turned them in, which means that we should have our acceptance letters any day now," Rosé explained, grinning widely.

Lisa's jaw dropped. "You had Yuqi sneak into the admissions office?"

"Hey, it's not like she really broke the rules or anything. All she did was move us to the top of the review list. You and I both know that a lot of people apply early, and rolling admissions are no fun if you still have to wait months to get an acceptance letter," Rosé insisted.

"You mean a letter. You don't know that we'll get accepted."

"I'm pretty damn sure."

Lisa looked over at her best friend carefully. "You know, maybe you've been hanging out too much with Jisoo now." The corner of her lips pulled upward, and Rosé grinned.
