Hello there universe I am back!  I don't know if it's a good thing but we'll just roll with it. Mmmm rolls, I'm hungry now. Forget about that no one cares anyway! On with the chapter!

"Nice hou-"

"Why are you still here?"

We've been sitting across form each other on the couch for what seems like an eternity. Now you may think I'm being rude, especially since he was being nice and returning my backpack for me, but I mean c'mon, he can't stay here with no other reason. Okay, now I see why you think I'm being rude. Sorry, I can't help it sometimes.

"I don't know you're the one who told me to come inside."

"That's because you told me if I didn't let you in your balls were gonna freeze off. You know, now that I think about it I should've just let you stay outside."

"Wow okay, first of all, rude, second of all, there's another reason as to why I'm still here."

"And that is...?"

"I wanted to see you again."

*Insert explosion sound now!* What! He wanted to see me? Again?

"Why?"

"I heard you're really smart so I need your help to do a project."

Not the response I was expecting. Oh, so you were expecting a response? Oh shut it brain!

"And what makes you think I'm going to help you?"

"Well, in return I, the dashing Derek Mason, shall owe you a favor."

"Oh my god now that's what I call a steal! You've got yourself a deal!"

"Really?!"

"No! Of course not!"

"What? But whyyyyyy? Please, I really need your help. I need to at least get a C in my English class or else coach is gonna bench me for the rest of the season! Please Rose I need you!"

I don't know what made me do it. Maybe it was because English happened to be my favorite subject, or maybe it was the fact that ocean eyes over here is practically on his knees begging for my help, giving me some serious puppy eyes.

And I can't ever resist puppy eyes. It's one of my greatest weaknesses. Don't you dare tell anybody I told you that.

"Fine! I'll help you with your stupid project."

"Really? Yesssss thankyouthankyouthankyou! You're really saving my ass here doll face."

"Doll face? What happened to shortcake?"

"I've decided that doll face suits you better. Unless you want me to call you shortcake?"

I've never wanted slap a look off of someone so bad.

"I don't want you to call me either of them. Rose is just fine."

"Yeah well I don't want to call you "just Rose". Sorry doll face, but this is what you're gonna have to put up with for the next few months."

"Next few months? What kind of an English project is this? It shouldn't take more than a week or two."

"See that's where you're wrong. This project is supposed to help me find my own meaning of life and all that bullshit. I'm supposed to keep a journal of some sort about the experiences I've had over the course of like 6 months. My teacher says he wants me to put my own "creative twist" on it but who knows what the hell that means. I think he just wants me to do extra work because I always fall asleep in his class. It's not fair really."
