The Secret Roses

Chapter 12: Troublesome Galore

Rosie, Leo, Runo, and I went back to class. I'm thinking that I was right about Rosie. It really looks like she was jealous. Though, I can't say I'm on her side. She did say that hated Leo, so why does she care if he talks to Bella?

It's true what they say; Girls are complicated. Especially in this situation. Although, there's one thing that I don't get..

Rosie sat down on her usual seat right next to mines. I sat down also. I turned to her and became serious.

"Hey, Rosie," I started, "are you jealous?" Rosie blushed (almost the color of her hair). Oh my gosh! I was right!

"Wh-what are you talking about?" She stuttered. "I am so not jealous!"

"Uh-huh, of course," I teased.

"Oh, shush!" Rosie exclaimed.

Rosie held my hands and looked at them. "Can you keep a secret?" She whispered.

I nodded, "Of course,"

Rosie leaned in and whispered in my ear, "I do like Leo," I pulled back with a mischievous grin.

Aha! "I knew it!" I whisper-shouted. "Since when did you have feelings for him?" I talked with my normal voice. Rosie sighed. "When him and I were thirteen," she replied.

A sudden giggle bursted right out of my mouth. Everyone in the classroom looked at me like I was crazy! Eh, oh well. "Was it love at first sight?" I lowered my voice so only Rosie can hear. She rolled her eyes and giggled. "As if," we stared at each other's eyes and giggled madly.

With that, the teacher went in and lectured.

Hmm. Whew, boy. This is gonna be troublesome. With Bella clinging to Leo? Defiantly.
