Rose's pov
So, I begin to get ready as soon as the door closes. I run up to my room and look frantically for something cute to wear to lunch.
There are clothes thrown absolutely everywhere, not one bare inch on the floor. It's almost 12:00 and I still need to find clothes and do my hair and makeup. I decided to get on Wishbone and I chose two random outfits. First I went on Polyvore and made the outfits with what I actually had at home, if I didn't I could get it sent to me in less than two minutes; since my parents are rich and all. So I then posted it on Wishbone and put this as the question:
"Which one is best for lunch with a super cute boy, that could possibly be... your future boyfriend?"
I got votes from hundreds of people in less than 30 seconds. Everyone picked my favorite as well, the pineapple sunglasses shirt with ripped jeans. I got comments about switching the shoes; the pink converses with the white ones instead. I thought, why not?
So I got ready and did a simple eyeliner on my water line and water proof mascara, you never know what may happen. I curled my hair and pinned the right, above my ear, back.
At this point it was already 12:53 and I was so nervous, why? I have no idea!
I texted Kenny and told him I was ready. He showed up at my door less than a minute later. I opened it.
"Hey," I said looking up at him.
"Rose, hey...," he said looking at me up and down. I blushed instantly. "You look beautiful!--- I-I mean... ummm..."
"It's okay Kenny. Thank you. You don't look too bad yourself." I said, we both laughed.
"Thanks," he said. "Ready to go?"
"Yeah, let me grab my phone."

Kenny's pov
wow, Rose really did look beautiful. We got into the house and not even a second after we all sat at the table, they were all asking her hundreds of questions.
"So, Rose. How old are you?" My mom, Brenda, asked.
"I'm 17."
"Where did you used to live before you came here?"
"I lived in New Jersey."
"Do you have any siblings?"
"No, I'm an only child."
"Are you're parents divorced?"
"No, they're actually together. Gone for business a lot, I almost never see them."
"Sorry to hear, sweetie."
"It's alright. I'm already used to it. Have been since I was 10."
"Wow, okay. Last question, at least for now. Do you have a boyfriend?"
Rose's pov
I was drinking water. When she asked that, I immediately choked.
"No, not anymore." That's when his sister, Liyah, began to speak. She also looked about 17. She was pretty, and tall, and had beautiful caramel skin, and naturally curly hair with purple tips and hazel eyes.
"But, you're so pretty. Why would he?"
"You're sweet. He actually cheated on me, with someone who was my best friend. She also ended up being pregnant, with his child. The last time I saw her I kicked her in the gut, completely forgetting about the baby. They both made me suffer a lot, her the most. I thought he was the one..."
It stayed quiet. All you heard was "sorry" all around the table. Kenny was sitting next to me, he put his hand on my shoulder, and smiled at me.
"You'll find the right guy someday, you deserve someone special."
"Thanks, Kenny. It means a lot." we just sat there, staring at each other, when his dad, George, cleared his throat.
"So, Rose, what do you plan on doing with your life?"
"Nice way to put it George!" Brenda exclaimed.
"Sorry, I meant, what are your life goals?" Brenda rolled her eyes, causing me to chuckle.
"I actually was going to go to Rutgers University, but that happened, so I came here for a fresh start. I actually want to study fashion design. I'm going to the college a few streets down. What's it called again? College of fut--," Liyah cut me off.
"Future Artists, College of Future Artists!!"
"Uh, yeah. That one!" we all laughed.
"Sorry, she said. It's that Kenny goes there. He studies art, actually; and I study fashion too. Hopefully we have classes together." she said.
"I draw and paint." Kenny said.
"Oh, that's awesome! I would love to see some of your pieces. I can't wait to see what you can do Liyah."
"Maybe one day," he said, biting into his burger.
"Thanks same here," Liyah said, drinking her soda.
"Okay, cool. So, at least I know two people that will be going to school with me in the fall."
We all just spoke about random things and watched a movie. I ended up staying for dinner and had brownies and ice cream for dessert. It was already 2:00 in the morning!
"I should get going. It's already tomorrow." I laughed.
"Oh, wow! I didn't even notice the time!" Brenda said.
"Thank you guys for everything! I forgot what it felt like to have a family, it was great."
"You are welcome anytime sweetheart." Brenda said, walking up to me and gave me a hug. Liyah did the same thing.
"I like you already! I can tell that we're gonna be good friends." she said.
"Same here," I said. She gave me her phone and I put my number in it.
"Thanks," she said. She left upstairs. George came up to me.
"It was lovely to have you over Rose. Like my wife said, you are welcome any time." He shook my hand and left.
"I'll walk you," said Kenny, smiling at me.
"Sure, thanks." I yelled bye and left, Kenny closing the door behind me.
We were in front of my house and I was getting my keys out of my pocket, when they fell on the floor. Kenny and I both went to get them, our hands touching, sending tingles up my arm, and a funny feeling in my stomach. WHAT?!? I quickly grabbed them, and smiled at him.
"It was nice having you over,"he said, scratching his neck.
"The pleasure was all mine."
" I would love to have you over again sometime."
"So would your parents," we laughed. "Just let me know."
"True, and okay perfect. I would love to get to know you more Rose. You're a great person."
"Same here."
"Okay, so I'll text you." I nodded and was about to open my door, when he grabbed my arm, turned me around, and crashed his lips on mine. I kissed back... That's when he pulled away.
We just stared at each other, smiles on both our faces. He cupped my face and pecked my lips again,
"I'll see you tomorrow?"
"Yeah..."
"Okay, bye."
"Bye."
He turned around, leaving towards his house, literally next to mine. He turned to face me once again,and tripped over a rock on his drive way.
"Are you okay?" I asked, trying to hold in my laughter.
"Yes." he shouted back. "Goodnight, beautiful."
"Night, Kenny."
We both entered our houses and shut the doors. I jumped on my bed with a smile on my face, my dog jumping on top of me. I cuddled with her and fell fast asleep.
Kenny pov
I felt tingles all over when I touched Rose's hand. I don't know what came over me, but I don't regret kissing her. I can't wait to see what happens next.
