Duel School!

Courting Rose

Episode(s): 15

"Alright class! Get your game on! Tennis game that is!" said Miss Fontaine.

"Come on, would someone tell me what in the world tennis has to do with dueling?" asked Jaden in annoyance.

"Everything!" said Mindy. "Taking turns, thinking on your feet, and the harder you play, the better you do!"

"Well, in that case," said Jaden as he hit the ball as hard as he could. The only problem is that it went to his right instead of straight, head right for Rose who was teamed up with Alexis.

"Shit! Rose, head's up!"

"What?" said Rose in shock unable to move fast enough to block. Luckily for her, someone else was able to block it for her. Though, he did end up hitting Crowler in the face with it.

"Thank you," said Rose in gratitude.

"Rose are you okay?" asked Alexis as Mindy and Jasmine showed up.

"That ball almost creamed you," said Jasmine.

"yeah, would you like me to carry you to the nurse," said the guy that saved Rose in an arrogant voice.

"That's okay, thanks though," said Rose with a sweet smile.

'That's Rose Heartfilia,' thought the boy to himself.

"Uh? Do you need me to carry you to the nurse?" asked Rose as the boy started at her with a blush. 'Does he have a fever?'

"No, I'm good. I just know you from Obelisk Blue, I've seen you around," said the boy as he grabbed her hand, "Not that I've ever had the pleasure of talking to you."

"Kay?" said Rose, creeped out with him.

"Let alone touch you. Anyway," said the boy as he backed up, "Back to my match. What was the score?"

"Love something I think," said another boy.

"That was weird," said Alexis.

"Yeah," said Rose as she rubbed her hand on her shorts.

"Good thing he left," grumbled Jaden.

"What was that?"

"Nothing! I'm just glad you're okay!"

~Some Time Later~

"Rose!" called Jasmine as she walked toward said girl in the locker room.

"We found out who that hot tennis guy is for you," said Mindy.

"What are you they talking about?" asked Rose to Alexis who was at the locker next to her. Alexis just shrugged.

"Anyway, he's a total catch!"

"Now try to stay calm," started Jasmine.

"Trust me, I'm calm," said Rose in annoyance as Alexis giggled.

"His name is Harrington Rosewood. As in Rosewood sporting goods, and they've got stores everywhere and he's the heir. Plus, he's a third year Obelisk Blue!"

"And?" said Rose with a raised eyebrow.

"An older guys who's rich and a hottie? That's boyfriend material, so go and get him!" said Mindy with excitement.
