Recap

Just let HER pick!" jerry said.

"Deal." Mick nodded..

"But she'll definitly pick me." Jerry stated putting his arms around his head in confidence.

"Who's she?" interrupted a new high voice.

Speak of the devil, and the devil shall appear.

Chapter 8

Rex's POV

Here we go.I thought.

"Oh hey there Rose. Don't you look rather ...ravishing today." said Mick in what was supposed to be in a smooth charming voice. He winked at her obviously confused face. Poor chick.

Rose arched her eyebrows in confusion. She put her hand on his forehead. "Your not sick. " she narrowed her eyes at him and then clutched the top of his tshirt with her hand pulling him in. "Who are you and what have you done with Mick?"

"What! Can't I give my sweet BEST FRIEND a compliment every now and then?" he said emphasizing the word 'best friend' and glancing at Jerry.

"Um no not really. Seeing as I'm wearing sweatpants and an oversized tee." she stated pinching her shirt.

I still think she looked fine. She could look fine in anything honestly.

"Well I think you smell really...divine today, Rose." Jerry says. Giving Mick a smirk of his own.

Roses POV

What the heck is up with them? First. I catch Lyla in the hallway just to be pushed into the lockers when Paul walked by. And the second he left. She let out a high pitched squeal that made me wince and started to do a happy dance flopping her blonde hair around everywhere. It didn't take a rocket science to figure out she got a date to the dance. I left the scene and let her enjoy her little momento just to come here and feel like a mouse in a trap.

I look over to see Jerry and Mick glare at each other every now and then when their eyes weren't on me. Rex was simply rolling his eyes at them. Is this sone sort of game? I'm so confused.

I'm about to say something when I feel a hand on my shoulder. Alarmed, I turn around to face the owner.

Matt. A kid in my math class. He's quite a player. Just looking for an easy catch. I rolled my eyes in my head.

"Oh hey Matt" I say with a fake smile.

"Hey angel. The dance, you and me? Whaddya say sweet cheeks?" he says with a smirk and a wink.

Oh god. I really don't wanna go with him. Im probably the only girl in this school beside Lyla that he hasn't messed with. That's why he asked me. Ugh but I don't wanna say flat out-

"No!" roared a voice I would have never guessed to have something against this. He stole the words right out of my mouth.

Everyone turned to look at him in surprise. Matt with a confused and angry expression.

"Erm, I mean. Um.. I mean she can't." Rex covered. I narrowed my eyes. What is he playing at?

Matt laughed. "Why? Her daddy won't let her?" Matt joked. I winced at the mention of my father. I saw Rex look out if te corner of his eye and knew he noticed.

"Cause.. she's..she's already got a d-date. " he lied nervously. Realizing all the attention he brought on himself.

I bit my nail. I didn't have a date! That liar! How am I supposed to find a date so everyone doesn't think I'm a jerk for lying about it. He's soo gonna get it! I'm stuck!

Matt crossed his arms and narrowed his eyes. I guess he didn't believe it. "Oh yeah. Who?"

"Me."

I, along with everyone turned to look at the person who belonged to that voice, with eyes wide and jaw dropped.

First Mick is acting weird, then Jerry. And now Rex says he's my date to the dance.

I groaned. Moms right.

I REALLY need to cut down on my caffeine.
