Chapter 6

Rose's POV

Jake and I were currently laying down side by side on my bed. I know I said that we should take a nap but I think he isn't tired since it's still early and I don't want to leave him alone either so I'll just stay up with him.

"Hey Rose, let's play 21 questions?" Jake asks.

"Alright, you start" I answered.

"What's your favorite color and why?"

"My favorite color is yellow because it's bright, sometimes you just need sunshine in your life" I said. It's true though, I've been through so much shit that whenever I see the color yellow it reminds me of the sun and it makes me happy. I don't know it's weird shit.

"What's your favorite animal?" I asked a few seconds later.

"A wolf, it's my spirit animal" he replied.

"What are your likes and dislikes?" He added.

"Well I hate vegetables except potatoes, broccoli, and celery. I also hate fruit except bananas, grapes, and apples. I like people who express how they feel towards me, I hate being left out, I like to feel wanted,I hate complicated people, I like Cinderella and whinnie the pooh, actually I love every Disney character. I actually like school, my best subjects are math and social studies. But I hate science I just don't get it and gym as well! I mean do you really need to know how many cells are in a leaf!? Like where are you going to use that information!? And as for gym! So what if I can't do the mile run! I am proud to be fat! I seriously can't even believe that those teachers get paid for teaching us these stupid subjects. I feel like students should have a choice am I---" I stopped suddenly when I noticed I was ranting about school. I seriously didn't even want to look to the side but when I did I saw Jake looking at me with admiration in his eyes? I quickly turned away and felt my cheeks heat up.

"Aw you're so cute, you're blushing!" He laughs and I just glare at him.

"Shut up, anyways what are your likes and dislikes?" I mutter

"well I like basketball, well no I love basketball, I hate hickies, I like vegetables and fruits unlike you, I also hate liars" he answers. Woah, for a guy like him I would've thought he liked the whole "mark me" type of thing. Soon I was slowly starting to feel my eyes getting heavy.

"Jake I'm tired" I yawned.

"It's okay, go to sleep Rose" he whispered. Last thing I heard was a goodnight from Jake before I fell into a deep slumber.

(Jake's POV)

A few minutes after Rose fell asleep I got up and exited her room to go downstairs. Soon I heard the door opening. Who could it be?

"I'm home" Vicky announces her arrival as she walks into the kitchen.

"Hey Vicky, don't you get out at 4? Why are you here early?" I asked. She explained to me everything that happened on her lunch break. Wow can't believe Lewis actually went to her job.

"Looks like your boss has a thing for you" I laughed.

"Looks like you have a thing for Rose" she winked and I just shrugged.

"She has a thing for me too, she just doesn't want to hurt Melanie" at the mention of Melanie, Vicky rolled her eyes.

"I don't get it, Rose deserves a much better friend. Rose was sitting there getting put in the middle of the situation and having to hear her bestfriend complain about you meanwhile she was miserable because she was feeling you, now she feels guilty for liking you" Vicky says.
