THE FORGOTTEN SMILE

27.

I think I met one of those people who make my life a little better

P.O.V Maddie
When the bell rang the canteen started to fill with students.

'hey my pretty lady' I felt 2 hands on my shoulders.

'Dylan this is Rosa' they both shake hands

'So Rosa, are you Mads friend' Dylan sat down next to me and intertwined his hand with mine.

'yes, I think so' she smiled at me and I smiled back

'she comforted me when I cried' I say soft, Dylan eyes widen. I tell him what happened and I can see the anger in his eyes grow.

'Dylan it's okay' I try to calm him down

'no, she fucking said that you faked it. What a bitch' I could feel his hands clench

'really it's okay, I'm fine' luckily he calms down a bit

'she really is a bitch, that is one thing I learned today' Rose scoffed

'yes she is, I can't believe I was ever friends with her' I chuckle at the thought that once I saw her as the best friend I could have ever wished for.

'no' Dylan rested his head on my shoulder

'but Rosa, tell me a bit about yourself' Dylan mumbled

'well my full name is Rose Fernandez'

'but you don't look really Spanish' that was the same thing I said when she told her last name to me

'yeah it's a long story' she smiled a bit uncomfortable 'but I am 17 years old and today is my first day here because me, my little sister and my parents just moved here'

'so you have a sister'

that was a stupid question Dylan

'yes, her name is Daisy and she's 14 years old' she told us

'so your parents like flowers' I laughed

'yeah my mom loves flowers, she actually has a tattoo of a rose and a daisy' Rose got excited

'that's cute' I grabbed the lunch Nina had made for me and started to eat the Mars bar that was in there.

'why did your parents move here actually' Dylan started to eat an apple. So you see the difference between him and I, he's healthy and I'm absolutely not.

'well we first lived in New York and there they have a store and the store got bigger so now my aunt took it over and they are going to start the same store here' Rose explained

'so that's why your so stylish' I narrowed my eyes in a playful manner

'I guess' Rosa laughed.

After that we talked and talked. Then the bell rang again and we had to go to our class. I had Math and I have that with Dylan, and Denise. Oh gosh I hope he won't explode.

'stay calm' I warned him when we sat down and Denise came into the room.

I heard him mumble a bit 'no promises'

I looked over at Denise and Fleur who both looked at me. Together with some other people, my outburst definitely left it's impression.

'make these' was the teachers only words when he came into the room. He definitely wasn't in a good mood. I started to solve the math problems in my book when Dylan poked my side
