"I fell in love with the way you looked at me. The way you questioned me. The way you touched me without having to use your hands. Being with you left me breathless and so alive at the same time"

"UGH!" Rosie groaned in frustration. It was tutoring time and Rosie just couldn't understand what in the world was going on. "This is so stupid and so pointless. When will i ever need to use Physics in my lifetime?"
Lip scoffed, "You Princess, probably won't need it in the future, but right now you need at least a C on the next test in order for you to be able to do whatever homecoming bullshit you wanna do."
Rosie rolled her eyes, "You only think its BS because you're not involved in school enough."
"Tutoring the queen of the North Side is enough involvement for me this year." Lip said causing Rosie to roll her eyes again annoyed at his attitude. "Man if I had a penny for every time you've rolled your eyes since I've started tutoring you, I'd be richer than you."
"If I had a penny for every time you smoked a cigarette since you've started tutoring me, I'd have more money than Bill Gates." Rosie retorted quickly. Lip raised his an eyebrow at the new found attitude from the bright eyed girl, but quickly shook it off, and blamed it on her frustration with Physics.
Whether or not Lip knew it, through his constant remarks and the constant bickering that may have annoyed Rosie, he challenged Rosie day after day. He challenged her in all their classes they had together, whether it would be who gets the higher score on a test, or what can Rosie get on her next Physics test. He challenged her outside of school, seeing whether or not she can remember how to get home without Lip chiming in telling her which stop to get out, or even simply how to let loose and be more of herself.
Lip took a deep breath and pulled out a cigarette, "Okay princess, I don't remember you being this sassy, but your next Physics test is Thursday, which just a quick reminder is tomorrow. If you don't get a C you don't cheer, but if you pass you can, and then I can get a bonus, and I need that bonus so you're getting a damn C on that test if it's the last thing I do."
At the time Lip couldn't even see the difference in the way Rosie was beginning to act in just the first week, neither could Rosie herself. The two themselves couldn't realize the difference in Rosie, but everyone else could. The girl who didn't like confrontation, was finally becoming more outspoken. Instead of saying yes blindly, she would question why. If something bothered Rosie, you can see it clear as day on her face, unlike before.
"Oh I'm getting that C, no one else is walking with Mikey for homecoming court but me." Rosie stated plainly.
Lip almost burnt himself trying to light the cig. The name Mikey always caught him off guard. For here in the seat right next to Lip was someone who is head over heels for the boy. In the past week Lip watched Rosie work her ass off just for that one guy, who honestly didn't treat her as well as she thinks he does. Sleeping around behind her back while feeding her some fairytale future. But it was enough to feed Rosie's delusions and be blinded by Mikey's lies. Everyday a piece of Lip wonders if he should tell Rosie the truth, the truth that everyone already knew. But then he's reminded
That's not my fucking problem.

"Lip!" Rosie yelled as she pushed her way through the abandoned girls restroom, her voice echoing. "Jesus fuck what now?" Lip said as he watched Rosie stumble in, letting some of the smoke out of the bathroom and into the abandonded hallway. Rosie jumped up and down in pure excitement, "I GOT A B!" Rosie yelled as she shoved her passing physics test score in the blue eyed boy's face. "I did better than I ever expected!" Lip ignored the girl and got straight to the point, "So this means I get a bonus, isn't that correct Princess?" "Oh my god yes Lip whatever you want." Rosie said with an eye roll, "Can you come by today after practice and meet me after school?"
"I can't I have someone new to tutor." Lip said smugly, " Karen Jackson."
Rosie's eyes went wide at the mention of Karen Jackson's name. She had quite the reputation, but at the same time she couldn't judge, because the people who everyone thought was her friends were just like Karen. Maybe even worse since they had money and would take advantage of that fact. The only difference was that Karen didn't care who she slept with, and Rosie's "friends" did. If you couldn't tell by now, they only messed with North Side Kids.
"I thought you told me that you were too booked?" Rosie said as she made the realization
"I dropped someone, they couldn't pay up, and I don't do anything for free." Lip answered.
"I'm sure you enjoy having sex for free." Rosie said quickly.
"If I was having sex for money that would be considered prostitution Rosie. I think my attitude is wearing off on you." Lip asked as he began to exit the girls bathroom.
"Maybe I've been hanging around you too much." Rosie said following after him, "What time will you be home? I can probably just drop off your bonus on my way home?" She questioned.
"You barely can maneuver through Chicago without getting lost, what makes you think you can find my house in the South Side?" Lip asked the girl whose mouth was opening to respond, but he interrupted her anyways, "Let me guess, Daddy's sending you with the driver and car today?" Rosie quickly shut her mouth and pressed her lips together, for what Lip said was right.
"Oh my god I knew it." Lip laughed at the girl, "You North Side families are just rollin in the dough. Imagine paying someone just to drive your daughter around, I thought you were joking when you said that you had a driver."
"Hey it's my family's 'dough' that is paying you very nicely remember." Rosie retorted
"Damn, I don't remember you being this sassy. Where did the quiet and naive girl go?" Lip watched at Rosie rolled her eyes, "Okay I should be home by like 6 does that work for you Princess?"
"Why do you keep calling me Princess?" Rosie asked Lip
Lip snorted, "I'm not even gonna answer that one Rosie, it's pretty obvious why I'm calling you Princess."

Hey guys Im sorry I ghosted on you. I totally thought that my life would have gotten simpler after I graduated high school, but that is literally not what happened. I also thought my life would get slightly more boring, and all I would do this summer is netflix and wattpad all day, but that isn't happening either. In fact my life has gotten extremely interesting, who knows maybe I should start vlogging (that was a joke I think)
Thank you guys for all the votes, and the comments, and so forth, it really pushed me to update for you guys, and I'm so sorry this had to come so late, and I apologize that it's kinda short, but it's starting to build up to the show.
