fourteen ; that one person

"Hey," Rosy was at her locker when Mike found her and she turned to him, a smile on her face.

"Hey, what's up?" Rosy said, shutting her locker door and leaning against it.

"I just wanted to check up on you, see how you've been. After all the drama with sectionals, I never got the chance to ask you if you were okay." Mike said and Rosy smiled softly.

"Oh, I'm fine, but thanks for checking on me, that's really sweet of you," Rosy said and Mike blushed and smiled at his shoes.

"Uh, I noticed that you and Puck are kinda not speaking anymore," Mike said, looking up at her again, and she sighed.

"Is it really that obvious?" Roys asked and Mike shrugged.

"Well, yeah kinda. You guys were kinda inseparable for months and now you don't even really look in his direction anymore." Mike said and Rosy sighed again.

"Yeah well, it's complicated," Rosy said and Mike nodded.

"Well, that kinda makes our plan harder," Mike said, digging his hands into the pockets of his jeans, not looking at Rosy.

"What plan?"

"Remember the plan we made? We were supposed to hang out after sectionals." Mike reminded her and Rosy nodded.

"Oh yeah, that plan," Rosy said as if she hadn't been thinking about the plan every single day since he'd asked her wondering if it was going to happen anymore since he hadn't talked to her about it since sectionals and she was too much of a chicken to make the first move.

"Yeah, we were supposed to go with Puck and Matt," Mike said and Rosy nodded.

"Right, oh I'm sorry. Well, I bet I could fi-"

"Do you want to just hang out the two of us instead of going through the trouble of finding another person?" Mike said, the words tumbling out in a rush, and Rosy's mouth dropped open. She quickly shut it because she was sure she looked like a fish and played with her ponytail nervously.

"Ye-"

"Sorry, Mike, but Rosy is only allowed to date younger men from now on, Coach Sylvester's rules," Santana said, cutting Rosy off as she came up behind the pair with Brittany and Rosy turned and stared at her in shock.

"Well, it wasn't a date, just a hangou-" Mike began, but Brittany cut him.

"But like it totally is a date? And the fact that it's even taken you this long is like totally embarrassing?" Brittany said, somehow making all of her statements sound like questions.

"Yeah, like Channing Tatum's dance moves in Step Up embarrassing," Santana said and Mike began to say something, but Santana held her hand up to stop him, Rosy watching all of this in horror. "Sorry Mike, but you're just too late. Now, come on Rosy, let's go to the middle school a few blocks away and find you a date for this week." Santana said and Rosy barely managed to whisper 'i'm so sorry' to Mike before Brittany and Santana dragged her away.

"You disgust me," Rosy said as soon as Jesse picked up the phone as she was walking home from school.

"Hello to you too, Rosy. What did I do this time?" Jesse asked and Rosy felt the urge to reach through the phone and slap him for the amused tone he was using.

"Rachel told me about how you got mad at when she said she didn't want to have sex with you and I thought that I should just call you up and tell you that I think you suck." Rosy spat, clutching her phone dangerously tight to keep from hurling it at the sidewalk because of her frustration and disgust with Jesse right now.
