(Rose's POV)

Schools done for the day and I'm still here, great. Sigh, when is Jane gonna finish her exam? Oh! She's right there. "Finally" I whispered in relief. I'm so glad she was walking down the hall with her friend. Otherwise I could've ended up talking with Emmit.Ew.

Emmit's a playboy. I guess. I mean, he doesn't go off dating girls and dumping them...

(Narrator's POV)

Rose soon snapped herself out of her thoughts and opened her backpack, revealing a small bag with a chocolate chip muffin in. She had gotten it for her 8th grade sister Jane when she had gone to the store nearby to by food.

Rose handed the muffin to Jane, who was talking with a friend that was shorter than Rose, but then again Rose was taller than her older sister but was only in the 7th grade.

"Why thank you" a very pleased Jane said.

"You took forever" an anxouis Rose replied. "Yeah, yeah. Now go wait in the front" Jane said while turning her attention back to her friend.

Rose looked at the gate just up ahead and spotted Carlos Gonzalez wacking some stick on a large stone wall that was short enough to sit on.

Rose felt nervous, because she knew Carlos. Carlosdid have good looks but Rose never liked him, unlike all the other girls that had confessed liking him at one point in their life. 

Yeah, he was hot but he had some history with her old group of friends. It was okay, but Rose didn't expect for Carlos to actually TALK to her.

Their eyes met. "How's life?" Carlos asked in a tone that sounded like he had known Rose since birth. How does he do that?

"Don't have one" was all Rose could manage from the fact that she was overthinking this conversation, especially with a guy like this.

"That's reasonable" Carlos stated before he went back to wacking with his stick.

Rose mentally smacked herself for roasting herself infront of Carlos. Rose sat on a stone bench, and got out her homework to do while she waited for Roselyn. 

But as Rose filled out the answers on her math homework page, she couldn't stop replaying her encounter with Carlos, over and over again.
