Patting my shoe on the concrete, I waited for joey to turn up. I ended the call with Alex a few minutes ago. He explained everything I needed to know. About how joey storming in a punched the living daylights out of him leaving him with a broken nose and one broken rib. About how joey also kept yelling course language at everyone. And about how joey went to jail. Gritting my teeth even more, i felt like guilty but mad at the same time. This was all my fault. I should have never told joey about Alex a tiana. That way, Alex wouldn't of gotten hurt and joey wouldn't of had get thrown into a jail cell. I was far more mad at joey though. Did he really think keeping something like this from me would be a good idea?

"Hey, is this spot taken?" I heard a voice to my right say. Looking up and saw a girl with dirty blonde hair. She has a lot of freckles all over her face but not a single pimple. I'm jealous. I wonder what she does for her skin care routine..

Snapping out of my gaze I finally speak. "No" I replied simply with a small smile. She smiled back and sat in the spot next to me

"I'm May" she said, holding her hand out for me to shake. Okay, now I'm jealous of her name. Its such a pretty name to say. I've always wanted my name to be a month. But my parents don't get the memo and say that I can't change my name to freakin February. I was thinking more of April but either way they won't let me. They think Rose is unique.

"I'm rose but I go by rose" I smiled, accepting her hand shake.

"Pretty name" her eyes light up. Says her. "And can I just ask what face cream you use? Your skin is flawless" wait hold up. The blonde, tall, blue eyes girl is saying this to me? The one that looks like an ompa lompa?

Right now I was at loss for words. "I don't know youd need my skin care routine. You're already gorgeous" I sighed, wishing that I could be pretty and nice like her

May and I have been talking for awhile now. We seem to have hit it off pretty well. She's really nice and funny and I found out her dad owns the café that I was just in which means she works there. She says its a pretty lonely staff there because its a family business and she's the only child. She wishes she had friends to work with but never has had the time to make any around her age. That's when she offered me a job

"You want me to work there?" I asked in shock. I must admit I'm in desperate need for a job right now and its sound fun. I just didn't expect to get a job this soon

"Yeah! It'll be so fun! I'll finally have someone to talk to about all the cute guys that eat there" she giggled

"But I thought it was a family business" I said.

"We could adopt you!"

"What-no!" I laughed. "So wait. If you work there....." I said with my voice lowering to a more serious tone. I just realized that she must have saw the incident earlier at the café. What if she thinks I'm some sort of lonely child?

"You saw what happened there earlier. Didn't you?" I asked

A sigh left her lips as she nodded. "Yup" she answered, with the 'p' popping. "I saw everything. But don't worry. I can tell that Those girls with you are maniacs" she said

"Indeed they are" I said a little annoyed

"I also saw you and that joey guy the other morning..." She brung up which led my eyes to widen. "You two are pretty cute-

"You know him?" I asked

She nodded with a grin. "He's a daily costumer. Probably 2nd on the list of hottest guys that come in every day. He's the one that always orders the breakfast beagle in the afternoon" she responded and i smiled at that thought.

"Do you like, like him or something?" I asked. I don't even know where all this curiousness is coming from

"No. Of course not!" she replied which made me let out a breath I didn't even know I was holding. "I like Ben. The 1st on the list of hottest guys that come in everyday." She blushed.

"Ben is the only one that shares in interest in marvel with me. Hes also really popular and sporty but I like the geeky side of him better" she sighed dreamily . "But is it you that has a crush on joey" she smirk with her eyes wriggling

I hesitated. "No. Never in a million years-

I got cut off my a car honking. "Rosie " a voice chimed in. Speaking of the douchebag himself.."who do I need to kill?" Joey asked with the car window rolled down

"Welp. That's my ride" I said to may, standing up

"Which one? The car or joey?" She smirked which made me mentally gag

"Bye, may" I rolled my eyes playfully and hugged her before getting into the car. Now I need to face him. Save me

As soon as the car door shut, of course he starts talking. "I'm being serious, Rosie. Who do I need to kill?" He asked once again

"Nobody" I mumbled with some attitude

"But you seemed sad and annoyed when you called me to pick you up. Is someone bothering you?" He asked. Yes. Yes there is someone...

A tall brunette that turns down the offer of shirts

"No. There isn't" I lied. "Lets just go home. I need to talk to you about some things"

Its almost like a light bulb lit up above his head. "You spoke to Alex didn't you" he asked with a change of tone in his voice

I didn't answer. I just looked out the window as he cursed under his breath.

This is going to be a long ride
