Rose

3 Days before Halloween


"Ugh!" I spun around on my desk chair "What am I going to do?"


There was a knock on my door and I turned


"Can I come in?" Jesse said


"Sure" I groaned, banging my head on my desk


"What's up Rosie?" my Aunt asked before plopping on my bed


"I can't find a Halloween costume" I whined, spinning to look at her


"Why do you need one? she asked


"Because of the Green's Annual Halloween Party" I said


"Okay" she said "Why don't you wear what you wore last year?"


"My Pikachu onesie?" I snorted "No way!"


"Why not?" she asked, confusion written all over her face "It's cute on you. Besides, you wear it for every Halloween"


"But I don't want to wear it this year" I muttered


"Why not?"


I stood and grabbed a textbook "No reason"


"Hmmm..." she scrutinized me and I squirmed under her gaze.


Suddenly her eyes got wide


"Greyson asked you out!" she yelled excitedly


"I have no idea what you're talking about" I turned, a blush creeping up on my neck


My Aunt jumped up and off the bed "I knew it! I knew it! I knew it!"


"Shush!" I threw a notepad at her "Be quiet or else my Uncle will hear your!"


"Who cares!" she jumped on my bed like a madwoman "Rosie and Grey sitting in a tree, k-i-s-s-i-n-g. First comes love, then comes marriage then comes a gorgeous baby with blueish hazel green eyes and curly brown hair in a baby carriage" she sang


I grabbed a pillow and threw it at her "Quiet!"


She started to sing again "Rosie and Grey..."


"That's it!" I knocked her over


She snickered


"Shut up" I whined "It's not funny"


"Oh, I'm not laughing because of that" she continued to snicker "I'm laughing because of how cute you're acting over a boy"


"Stop" I whined more, hiding my face in my pillow


"Don't be embarrassed Rosie" she sobered up "I think it's cute that you're finally giving the poor boy a chance"


"We're friends" I emphasized "Nothing more"


"Uh huh" she smirked "Then why are you so worried about a Halloween costume"


"I...uh" I stammered


She giggled


"Get out!" I said, hiding my blush with a pillow


She jumped up and walked away.


Just when I thought I was clear of her, she poked her head back in


"If I were you, I would be a fairy" she suggested "You're small, tiny, and have a magical quality uniqueness to you"


With that, she smiled and disappeared


"A fairy huh" I muttered to myself "That's not a bad idea"
