Chapter 29. Stupid But Reasonable Reasons To Get Mad

Rose's Point Of View:

As I see Enzo and his older brother I smile, for some reason butterflies begin to form in my stomach. I quickly shoo them away, and put them in a jar, and lock them up tight and throw away the key. I start to walk towards them and my smile fades when I see Charlotte behind him. What. The. Hell. Is. Wrong. With. Her. So that's where she was last night? At Lorenzo's? She knew and still knows I like him. So she really tried to hide it from me, by not telling me where she was. She had me hella worried too. I quickly storm off entering the gates, and Ananya follows behind me.

"Aye the hell was that, why you mad?" She says while jogging catching up to me.

"Cause," I answer back.

"Cause?? Cause' why Rose? She says firmly.

"I feel betrayed. How would you feel if I came to school with your boyfriend or guy you like, and I didn't have anywhere to sleep the night before, so I slept at his house? How would you feel, wouldn't you be mad too?"

"No," she says chuckling. I give her a blank face.

"Girl you're not helping."

"What? You asked so I answered."

"Well put yourself in my shoes. Charlotte was literally saying get with Lorenzo yesterday right? Obviously, she texted all three of us asking if we could let her stay the night, and none of us could. I begged my parents too, nothing. So anyway I asked her if she was good, and she said yeah. Then I asked her where she was and all she said was "Don't worry I'm safe." Like what the fuck? Then nothing till now when she pulls up to school with the same guy she was telling me to get with?"

"Okay, I see where you're coming from, but chill out I doubt they did anything," Ananya says.

"I know they didn't, not like they slept together. I know lor-," Ananya cuts me off and says,

'You acting like we're 16. No one is doing any sleeping with anyone," Ananya says with a light laugh.

"Whatever you're the one who mentioned doing shit," I say putting my hands in a circular motion.

"Not me. Anyway back to what I was saying, I know Lorezno, and Charlotte would nev-"

"Don't say "Doing shit" like that. Also, you're like Hermione calling Ron Ronald when she's mad. What's up with the full name?"

"I don't know," I say fairly calmly. "NOW CAN YOU STOP INTERUPPING ME!!" I yell with a laugh in my tone. We're not even fully in the cafeteria just standing outside the doors. I see Charlotte walking into the gates coming towards us. Ananya's zoning out on something, so I tap her on the shoulder.

"Aye. Aye. Charlotte's walking towards us," I say with worry. She snaps out of it and then says,

"AYE, AYE, AYE!!" while pointing at me.

"No throwing things," I finish after her, in a Karen-kind of voice. Then we start to crack up. In 7th grade during our Spring dance, when everyone was in a huge crowd I took an orange and threw it into the crowd. Then I ran off, then this one lady who was surviving up cookies or something said to me, 'Aye, aye, aye. No throwing things." So it's been a joke between us ever since then.

"Nah actually, Charlotte is coming."

"Okay. You're point?"

"Let's go in the cafeteria," I say in an obvious tone.
