"Sweetie go get some apples from Amanda, so I can make my Apple Pie," My mother said in the sweetest voice, She knew I didn't like Amanda's son- one being he was just plain rude and also he was scary.

You would think since my mom is best friends with Amanda that I would be best friends with her Son, Dante.

Well no I hate him.

I turned around at my mom making the crust for her most delicious pie, "Why do I have to go" I whined pretty loudly and did puppy eyes that my mom usually falls for

"Do I have to go" I whined again.

"Rose Alessia Ivory"

Shoot, you know you about to get an ass whopping if your mom calls you from your full name

"Fine," I said while getting off the couch and putting my sandals and heading out the door.

Amanda's House is just one house down and It's probably the prettiest house in the neighborhood. I walked to her front gate which was all white with roses all around her garden

So beautiful

"What's beautiful?"

"Did I say that out loud?" I said as I turned around and looked up and saw the devil in all his glory, Dante Kingston.

For a 14-year-old he's pretty tall considering I'm 4'11 but its average for me to be that height considering I'm 12.

"Your mom's roses are," I said without any emotion as I looked at Dante. For some reason, he never smiles not even once and he's rude to everybody. He also made fun of me in front of friends and my crush. He always calls me names and for some reason, he has this strong hatred for me but so do I.

"They are dying," he said while ripping the pedals of the beautiful rose and throwing them slowly on the ground before walking over them into his home.

I stared at the crushed rose petals for a while and rolled my eyes at Dante's rudeness.

Dante is such a strange guy

I caught him one time smoking with his best friends Caden and Blake Valentino in front of Dante's home. I was in shock I've never seen him smoke before and me being the clumsy person I am, fell from the bush where I was hiding and made myself known to Dante and his friends.

The look Dante gave me must have been the deadliest look ever in mankind. If looks could kill I would've been 6 feet under. Dante didn't do anything though which surprised me, all he did was say some words to his friends and they turned around and laughed which I assume he said something rude about lil old me as usual. He then was heading inside the house while Dante gave one last puff to his cigarette and threw it on the ground and stepped on it before giving me another look before heading inside the house.

I was about to knock on the door of Amanda's house the door opened immediately and came out Dante with suitcases and he bumped shoulders with me on the way out.

Ouch that kinda hurt I thought while rubbing my shoulder and looking back where he was entering an all-black BMW I8

"Woah" I whispered as I looked at the car in awe.

"Oh hi darling a pleasure in seeing you," said someone out of the nowhere

"O-oh hi Amanda I didn't see you there," I said while fiddling with my hair and I can feel my cheeks heat up

I was getting distracted by the car and I didn't hear Amanda standing right next to the door chuckling. So foolish of me I get distracted so easily.

"What brings you here alone? Come to see Dante?" she says while smiling sadly as she looks at the car

"Actually no, my mom sent me here to ask if you have any apples," I said with a little giggle I usually do when I'm nervous. If you stare at Amanda you'll fall in love literally she looks like a model with such beautiful black hair with such vibrant green eyes and a really nice smile, but for some reason, she looks so tired and sad that her eyes didn't have the usual sparkle of happiness.

"Forget about the apples, are you okay?" I said while smiling lightly

"No, I'm not, Dante is leaving for Spain to live with his father." She said while sighing sadly and kept looking at the car behind me.

Well damn.

" I actually have to go with him to the airport before he leaves, I'll go get your apples," she says as she hurriedly goes inside the house once again.

I turn around and see Dante staring right at me and I just stare back. This has to be the best staring contest I've ever had in my 12 years of living. I kept looking at his eyes that were the same color as his mothers. Then the rarest thing happened he smirked.

Dante freaking Kingston smirked, and worse at me.

I could feel my cheeks heat up right away as I turned away quickly from his stare, and saw his mother coming from the house carrying apples.

"Here you go"

"T-thank you," I said while my cheeks got even redder, I could guarantee you right now that I look like a tomato.

"Your welcome sweetie, tell your mother I said hi," she said while giggling and pinching my cheeks.

Might as well call me Rudolph now for how red my nose and cheeks are.

I can literally be your Christmas light.

"O-okay," I said while turning away from her and walking out her house and right before I left I gave Dante a final look before I left to my house.

I should feel happy that he is leaving but for some reason, I just can't but feel a little disappointed that he is.
