'Hi Alex!' I smile as I see him sitting next to the football pitch. 'Hi Rosa!' he also smiles as he sees me. 'Sorry I was late, you must of thought I wasn't coming.....' I said as I sat down. 'No, not at all, I was only here a few minutes.' he grinned 'So.......got anything planned, or......' I stuttered 'No, ummm.....I'm not sure what to do, or what you wanted to do....' he played with his fingers as he spoke. 'No, it's fine. We can just do what we feel like.......I haven't had tea yet....would you like to grab something?' I ask, not trying to suggest anything. 'Of course.' Alex smiled as he tried to stand up, but his face scrunched up in pain and he fell backwards. 'Sorry I didn't think, here.....' I quickly stood up and I held out my hand. 'Thanks.....' he smiled a small, weak smile. His face clearly showed pain though. 'Here......' I offered as I put my arm around his shoulder. He finally managed to sit up. 'Thank you.' he grinned as I let go.

We made it to the chip shop. 'I really shouldn't be eating these, but.......One small portion of chips please no fish....' I nervously told the man on the counter 'And another small portion of chips please...' Alex smiled. 'Right, that will be £3.50.' the man behind the counter stated with a strange accent. I reached into my bag to find my purse, but Alex got his out first. 'It's alright, I'll pay, my treat.' he smiled as he counted some coins. 'Thank you Alex, that's so sweet.' I felt my cheeks burn up. 'No worries...' Alex said as he handed over his money.

We sat down by the football pitch with our chips, watching some kids play catch. 'Do you know any of those guys?' I asked 'No, why?' Alex asked quizzically as he ate another chip. 'No reason, just trying to find something to talk about. I'm not very good at making a conversation.' I smile as I play with another chip. 'You know, you don't have to go on a diet. It's bad for you. Plus, you don't need to. You're perfect just the way you are.....' Alex blushes as he says the last part 'Thank you, but I'm really not. Plus as Jessie J said, nobody's perfect. Unless I am nobody...Sorry I go on a bit, don't I?' I smile as Alex tried to say something, but I butt in. 'No, not at all!' he grins 'Really?' I smile as I raise my eyebrows. 'I mean, not a lot......Sort of........Yes...but just a bit......' he stuttered as I ate some chips.

'Thanks Alex, I've had a great day...thank you for the chips again........thanks!' I mumble as we walk slowly back home. 'No problem, is this your house?' he asked as I turned around to face my house. 'No, but this one is!' smiled as I pointed a little further down my road. 'Oh, it looks so neat and tidy!' he laughed 'Dad has no time to tidy our house since mum left.........' Alex put on a fake smile. 'I'm sorry.....' I try to comfort him, but he just shrugs it off. 'No, it's nothing really......It's not like she's dead or anything.......' he mumbled sadly 'Oh, sorry, I'm so sorry....'; Alex quickly stuttered as he realised what he said. 'No, it's fine really.....' I try to be brave. 'No, I should be more carefully, it was truly thoughtless of me, sorry......' he tried to cover up what he said, but it just made me think about dad more. 'No, really Alex, it's fine. Honestly. So, time to change the topic I think......' I insist as I begin to walk faster. 'No, it's not. I was stupid Rosa, I'm so.....' but before he could say sorry I turned around to come face to face with him. 'Please...just. Stop......Just saying that you're sorry, makes me think about dad. Ok, I still miss him.....' I cry as I try to sound mean, but I can't do it. I fall into his arms as he tries to support me.

'Rosa.....it's ok.......' he whispers, trying to stop my constant crying. 'It's not, but thanks!' I smile lightly as I wipe away my tears. His face grimaces in pain as he clutches where he was shot. 'I'm so sorry, did I hurt you?' I run to his aid. 'No, I'm fine. The doctor says I should try to take it easy, that's all......' he laughed 'That means no football!' I smiled as he smiled a huge smile of happiness. 'Well, I'm almost home now.....' I sigh sadly as we approach my house 'Well, Rosa I've had a great day, thank you!' he smiled as I turn to face him. 'No, thank you. Thank you for everything!' I smiled lightly as I leaned in, and kissed him on the cheek. 'Thank you!' I called as I ran into my house, leaving Alex outside still clutching his cheek.

**Alex's POV**

'No, thank you. Thank you for everything!' Rosa smiled as she leaned in, and kissed me on the cheek. I was truly shocked that she kissed me. 'Thank you!' she called as she ran into her house. She was truly sweet and kind. I mumbled a small thank you, but she didn't hear me. I was still in a daze until a stumbled on a stone. 'Stupid stone....' I hissed angrily at the piece of rock. 'Talking to yourself are you?' this boy asked 'No, I......' I began, but then I looked up to see "The Crasher" Everyone in our neighbourhood (with any sense) is scared of him. Even his posy. 'No, I was just....' I mumbled as I tried to walk on, but he stopped me. 'Going somewhere are you?' he smiled as he held out his phone. 'This would make a great wallpaper, no?' he grinned as I looked at his screen. He had taken a photo of Rosa kissing me. 'How?' I asked 'I was just passing, when boom. I saw it. Yuck!' he joked as I tried to grab his phone.

'Ahh, ahh, ahh!' he taunted as he passed the phone to his second in command. 'I bet everyone on my contact list would like to have a copy.....' he gestured for him to start sending. 'Don't you dare, Rosa would kill me.....' I tried to get the phone, but he pushed me backwards. 'Exactly. But I never thought you were gay, you know unless "Rosa" is gay of course, seeing as he is a boy...' he taunted as I tried to get back up. 'Don't you dare...' I struggle to say. 'All sent boss...' his friend handed him his phone. 'Thanks, let's see, I have all of the town's phone numbers on my phone, so it's kinda going to be hard to deny your "friendship"' he smirked. I managed to stand up and I walked angrily away from them. 'Bye bye!' they waved in a girly fashion. How I hated him. 'Oh, and one more thing. I sent all the pictures in your name, so Rosa will think you sent them. Tell me when you break up!' he waved as his posy laughed at me.

I hate him so much. Rosa will hate me as well, she wasn't going to believe me.

**Rosa's POV**

I arrived back home to see mum lying on the sofa watching TV. 'How did it go?' she asked excitedly as I shut the door. 'Oh, great Alex bought us chips, and we talked and stuff, but yeah. He's recovering great.....' I smiled as I walked upstairs. My phone buzzed in my bag. Yay! Alex sent me a message. I opened it to find a strange note.

Hi Rosa, I thought you would like the whole village to know about us, seeing as you are my girlfriend and stuff, and I am your boyfriend. So I sent this photo to everyone in the village. Now everyone knows about us, aren't you happy? I got one of my friends to take it as I knew that you would kiss me, because I am so amazing and handsome. See you later!

Alex

That wasn't like him at all. I opened the attachment to find a photo of me kissing Alex. What........He sent this to....everyone. I trusted him. And he let me down. In anger I threw my phone across my room and I jumped onto my bed. And I cried and cried.
