Valentine Hart

Okay so last night didn't go well. It sucked but anyway I was just walking around school when I saw the same little girl last time during the tournament.

"What are you doing here? Is your dad looking for you?" I said as I came closer to her. She was just sitting on a bench.

"Nope. I'm visiting my uncle" she smiled.

"Oh. Well, where is he? I can take you there if you want."

"Nope." She shook her head
"I wanna eat ice cream. Can we buy one?" She held my hand.

"Um--s-sure. Okay." I was a little taken back but she's so cute I couldn't resist.

"By the way, I forgot to ask your name back then." I said as we were walking.

"I'm Rose."

"That's a pretty name. So Rose, are you sure it's okay that I'm with you? Won't your uncle be worried?" I said.

"It's okay. I texted him where I am." She said and my eyes grew wide. Who knew kids could be this techy.

"Really? You have a cellphone? Gosh, I never got one until I reached the 8th grade."

"My daddy's usually busy so he got it for me in case there's an emergency." She said and I just nodded.

"Ah, by the way, back at the tournament, how did you know my name?" I said.

"I've heard a lot from you." She smiled which kind of sent chills down my spine

"From who?" I asked.

"My uncle." She said and let go of my hand.
"And there he is! Uncle Troy!" She ran towards him.

"T-Troy?"

"Yeah, Tory and Vince are my uncles." She smiled. Okay that was unexpected.

"Uncle Troy! I'm eating ice cream"

"I can see that. How did you get here?" He said and bent down to her level.

"I haven't seen you in a long time since you went abroad. Now that you're here, you barely visit me. I wanted to see you and Vince."

"I know that but you can't just go here without telling me first."

"It's okay, Valentine's here."

This is so awkward but I literally don't know how to react to this.
"Uhm, h-hello"

"Rose, Vince and I have afternoon practice today. We can't spend time with you yet. I'm calling your dad ---"

"VALENTINE CAN!" She yelled. Troy gave me this worried scared look.

"V-Valentine?" He said.

"Yeah, can she? Please?" Rose pulled on his shirt.

"Rose.."

"It's okay, I'm done with practicing my vocals this morning. I'll look after her until your training's done." I said and her face lit up.

"YES! Can we get pizza? Or a burger? And spaghetti?" She's so excited and overwhelmed my heart's tingly.


"Hey hey slow down. Ay, what am I gonna do with you? Fine, I'll tell Vince." Troy said.

"YES! Thank you! I wanna go to the mall and buy---" she started talking so fast even I couldn't understand.

"Rose!" Troy stopped her and he looked her in the eyes.
