Because yearbook is a after school activity I storm out of the school, looking around for where I put my bike, I began to hear foot steps coming after me and the schools front door behind me swing open, I turn to look at who it was for a hot second and see it was the guy who was printing something out in the library, I look away from him and start speed walking to my bike
"Hey! Rose!"
I stop dead in my tracks. No one ever called me by my name. No one.
"Rose! Wait up!" I hear him start running after me.
I stay there, dead in my tracks again, I shake myself out of it and keep walking. I feel a hand go onto my shoulder, and stop again.
It was Jake. Jake was a jock and one of the many fakes. The one you expect to date a cheerleader. He's been a fake forever, I've never seen him be down to earth.
"Why don't you show your face more often?"
I ignore the question and walk away from him, towards my bike. Then I feel his hand grab my hip
"What's the rush? And why don't you show your face?"
I quickly move away from him, getting his hand of my hip and sit on my bike, getting ready to pedal away
"I don't show my face because everyone here is fake," I don't make eye contact with him, I turn my back to him still on my bike " The people here are only buttering you up to break you in a few months." I kick up the stand and pedal away, my hood blows off but my back is turned to the school, so you can only see my hair.

I get home and head into my room, I plop onto my bed and pet my dog. He starts sniffing my right pocket on my hoodie and try's to pull something out, I pull it out and see a note.
"What the?"
I open up the paper and see this in scribble letters and numbers
Text me, and meet me at my place at 8 tomorrow, my number is: ***-***-****
-Jake
"DO YOU SEE WHAT I MEAN BY FAKE! This guy wants to meet me at his house at 8 tomorrow?! I just met this guy! Oh my god there all so fake!" I say to my dog, and then I lay down in my bed. "they. Are. All. So. FAKE!" I grab my phone and look at the number and type it in my phone. " Oh this guy is going to get a piece of me! Wait.. no. I have to act like school Rose. Not 'your so fake why did you even try' Rose."
Texts:
Rose: ...
Jake: Ay you actually text me
Rose: why did you give me your number
Jake: I wanted to hang out tomorrow night.
Rose: we just met...
Jake: So?
Rose: I don't go over to people I just met houses. I don't go over to people's house in general.
Jake: Why?
Rose: because everyone is fake.
Jake: Fake?
Rose: Yea, there just using you and one day they will leave you. There all so fake.
Jake: Am I Fake?
Rose: most of the time. Your not very down to earth.
Jake: good to know. So are you coming over to my house?
Rose: probably not.
Jake: aw come on please?
Rose: I don't do that stuff.
Jake: fine. But if you change your mind I'm free all tomorrow night :)
Rose: there's a 5% chance on that
Jake: better than 0%
