Before There Was You

4. "Rose"

[Martin's POV]

The girl who spilled tea all over me didn't look familiar. I don't think I've ever seen her before. I don't know anything about her and I don't think she's popular at school.

I'm dumbfounded by how she stood up to me yesterday, I never had any girl stand up to me like that before. They usually kiss my feet and they'd do anything to make it up to me. She didn't.

I want to know everything about her, I want to know her friends, who she hangs out with, if she has a boyfriend and I want to know where she lives.

She may think I have forgotten about what happened, forgotten about her. But I haven't.
I want her to make it up to me, a simple sorry won't do it.

That was my favorite shirt and she ruined it, nobody messes with my favorite clothes.

I haven't seen her since that morning and I'm not sure where will I find her.

I'm in my room, drowning in my thoughts. I hear the door cracks open and an all too familiar voice speaks

"Hey bro" Billy stands at the door, talking to me.

"Sure man, come in"

"You good? You look like you were in deep thoughts man" he says.

"Yeah I was just thinking" I reply, then I look at him "you know what happened to me yesterday right, the incident that happened between me and the anonymous girl?"

He laughs "everyone knows about that, who is she?" He asks.

"I don't know yet, but I want you to find out"

He stares at me "what am I? Your investigator or your best friend?"

"Both" I grin.

"If you want to know who the girl is why don't you find out yourself?"

"Just do it, can you?" I demand him.

"You suck bro, what do you wanna know about her?" he asks.

"Everything".

[Cathy's POV]

Thank god the day passed by so quickly today. The rumors are still there but I care less now. Luckily I have a popular bestfriend so she tells me what to do to avoid what everyone else says.

We decided to head to Starbucks after school and treat ourselves to some Vanilla Bean Crème Frappuccino with a caramel sauce and some doughnuts.

We're seated at our usual corner next to the window, having a simple conversation.

"Mmmm this is sooo good, I feel like it's heaven in my mouth" I sigh.

"I agree, this is mouth watering" Stacey says.

"I don't think there's anything as dainty as this right now".

"This is the second best thing from sex" She says, then she casts me a naughty look.

I croak out a small laugh "uhh we're talking about food here, something pleasurable"

"Sex is also food, food for the soul and it's pleasurable" she smirks "I can't believe you haven't done it yet" she says.

I look at her and don't say a word.

She looks at me " why haven't you done it yet?".

Awkward, what does she expect me to say?

"Uhh because I have never dated in my life and I'm not ready, duh"
