chapter 5

Rosie Evans

Beverly Marsh hadn't ever voiced to me her opinions about my feelings toward Richie but I always knew deep down that she didn't like him. I never knew why but I never bothered asking her. With Jack however, she had no problem voicing her opinion.

When I told her about my date with Jack, her face glowed with shock and happiness.

"ROSIE!!! Oh my gosh when did this happen? Did he make the first move? Did you make the first move? Are you guys dating now? How did all of this happen?"

"Calm down Bev, you're gonna give yourself a headache. And to answer your question it happened the day that you were gone. He made the first move. No we are not dating... yet. And before second hour he came up to my locker and asked me to go see a movie just the two of us."

"This is great Rosie! When did you guys start talking?"

"Well to make a long story short. I tripped on a curb on the way to my bus, dropped all of my books everywhere, he helped pick them up for me, we talked and then I left. Then after that I realized he's in most of my classes so we have been talking there and then bam he asked me out."

"Wow thats really interesting. I'm glad you finally moved on from Richie."

Was this me moving on from Richie? Ever since Jack came into the picture I hadn't thought about Richie at all. If you would have told this to me 2 months ago, I would say that you're crazy.

"Yeah I guess I have moved on." Hearing those words come out of my mouth just confirmed that I, Rosie Evans, do not like Richie Tozier anymore.

Richie Tozier

I never said that this was the best plan I've ever come up with. That doesn't mean that it was the worst plan though. This plan was going to take a lot of work and dedication. Was Rosie worth all of this hard work? Did I want her affection so bad that I would do all of this to get it? The answer was yes.

The plan was simple... sort of. The plan was to get into a relationship with Greta and make Rosie jealous so that she can see that she doesn't want me to be with anyone other than her and then we can make out.

Maybe not exactly like that but you get the point. The only thing that can ruin this plan is Jack Rivers. That señora stealer is the only thing that is standing in the way of MY Rosie.

The first part of the plan would happen first period on Monday. I would get with Greta before that but I want to make it in front of Rosie. We all have the same class first period so it should be simple to make that happen. Sounds harsh but its all to get the girl in the end.

Lets just hope all of this works out in the end and nothing bad happens.

Rosie Evans

Saturday came faster than I thought and before I knew it I was standing in front of my closet, tearing it apart, trying to find the perfect outfit. Bev sat on my bed reading through a teen magazine.

"Bev are you gonna help me in my times of crisis or are you going to continue reading about... how to get rid of acne in 3 simple steps?" I said reading off the cover.

"Well what do you need help with? You've been on a date before haven't you?"

I looked down and shook my head. It was sophomore year and this was my first date.

"Oh my god shut up. Shut up." "I-I didn't say anything bev." "Rosie Evans. Are you telling me that you have never been on a date before? I call bullshit."
