I squeal when I see the flier. I tear the page front the wall at Starbucks and tuck it in my bag. As I go into the front line I see Diana behind the counter. Why would a spoiled princess need a job? See I told you she was very well-rounded.

"Hey," wow she's got a bright smile. "What can I get you?"

"A dirty chai." I ask. She goes to make the order and keeps giving me a weird look.

"Have we met before?" She stirs something and glances between me and the cup.

"No." That was way to fast of an answer. "I mean, I don't believe so and it's such a big city." She smiles.

"Yeah I know what you mean.

Why do you work here when you have plenty of money?- I mean why work here? At Starbucks? It's so weird."

Great job Rose, that was the lamest cover ever!

Diana laughs a little and hands me my dirty chai.

"I don't need the money but it's my first job and I want to do something with my free time. I send half of my pay check to support a few kids in Africa and India."

"That's really sweet. If I wasn't so broke than I would so do that." I smile. I lean against the counter.

"You know one Juicy Couture purse can feed 10 kids for a 6 months." Diana gives me a look. I look down at my Juicy bag and pull it closer to me.

"Yeah well... Great taking to ya!" I rush out of there before she can make me feel even guiltier. She's so nice that I'm falling in love with her!

Ok just kidding.

I pop to the farm and Leo's mom is in her garden. She looks up and smiles but has a look of confusion on her face.

"I didn't hear you drive up." She wipes the sweat from her brow.

"Oh I walked." I pretend to wipe my sweat from my head and I fan myself with my paper.

"You walked?" She looks at me like I have three heads. "That's really far." She mumbles.

"Oh well yeah. I um-need the exercise." I laugh and pat my abs.

"I think David is in his room."

"Ok thanks," I run to his room and don't even knock. He's not in his room. I walk into the open barn and yell his name.

"Leo!" I look around the barn again and yell his name once more. "Leo!" I dig around in my purse for the flier. I can see from the corner of my eye his head pops up from the scattered hay.

"There you are. I've been waiting for ages. Where is that stupid paper?!" Leo makes unrecognizable noises. "Leo stop mumbling." I roll my eyes. "Found it!" I raise the paper in the air in victory and look over at Leo who still hasn't acknowledged me.

"Oh my gosh!" I run over to Leo and sit beside him.

His hands are tied behind his back and a piece of duct tape is over his mouth. I rip the tape off, ripping a few pieces of his beard. I snicker a little inside.
