Flashback : Rosey

10th grade. It was the weekend of the week before Valentines Day. I was busy playing video games. I had very few friends that I could trust or stand. Most were Xbox friends.
I was also a pig. Soda cans lining my dressers. Trashcan full of sweets I've already eaten.
I hid though. Nobody knew I was a nerd. I didn't wanna have to come home crying everyday. I've seen what kids do to nerds.
A knock comes at my front door. I head to the front of the house and open it. Danny Silverstone stares at me.
"Hey." He says. Our quarterback is talking to me!
"Hi." I say. He smiles.  A smile I fell in love with automatically. "Oh. Come in."
I step aside letting him in. He steps inside. I lead him to the couch. We sit. He looks around. His curiosity making him cute. I've always thought he was cute. But one thought crosses my mind.
Omg! Danny Silverstone in my house! Why?
"Is your parents home? " he asks.
"No. Why?"
"Cause I need to talk to you."
"Why?"
"Rosey? I've been trying to tell you since 8th grade. I like you a lot." My heart speeds up.
"Danny? I...I'm sorry but I don't know what i feel towards you."
"Then lets figure it out. I've heard one kiss can make feelings develop."
"What are you saying?"
"One kiss Rosey." I think about it. Ive always wanted to kiss Danny.
I nod in excitement and he leans in. The thoughts crosses my mind too late. This is low. I can't kiss Danny and that be it though.
He kisses me hard. I moan a bit. He moves my legs where he's laying between them. After a second we separate.
My heart races. He lays on my chest. I play with his hair.
"Rosey? You know me. Will you please by my girlfriend?" I think for a moment.
"Yes. We can try."

Present: Rosey

"Rosey?" I hear. I get shooken violently. I roll over to see my little brother, Max.

"What?" I say. I look at my clock. 7:10.

"Crud!" I say. I push myself outta bed and tell Max to leave. He does so and I look in the mirror. I've never been the type to put makeup on. But I brush my hair. My hair has this flow. Its the color of a hot fire. It starts light but darkens to a lower red color. My eyes are green as fresh cut grass.

Its really. Weird though. Fire vs. Earth. Then my face is really pale. But I also look perfect to everyone. I am the most popular girl in school. I hate it though. Everyone thinks I should dress with more color. Let Danny smash me. Or go to their parties. I hate it so much.

I rush downstairs and grab my car keys. I leave. My mom already left. Max was already walking to school around the corner. By time I get to school, the 30 minute bell rings. I go to unlock my locker. A note falls out. I see Danny on his way. I grab the note and shove it in my pocket.

"Hey million dollar baby." He says. He wraps his hands around my waist. I smile. He rests his head on my shoulder as I pull books out of my locker.

"I'm not a million dollars."

"Whatever you say." I see Gus down the hallway. I look too long and Danny notices. Gus looks back and smiles ignoring Danny right behind me. Danny trails towards Gus.

"Danny!" I yell. I jog to catch up. Danny pokes Gus. Gus turns and drops his books to the floor. He goes down to pick them up. Danny swings right before Gus moved. Danny hits the locker.

"What the...." Gus says standing up.

"You been flirting with my girl." Danny says. His eyes burn with fire basically. I know that look. Danny isn't nice when it comes to girls or boys. He gets violent when he knows something doesn't add up. I just wanna yell run Gus. RUN.

"No he hasn't." I say. Gus looks at me. I mouth I'm sorry. Danny pokes Gus. Gus doesn't show any emotion what so ever. Instead he stands taller.

"Talk to my girl again, imma mess you up. Got it pal."

"Screw you Danny." Gus says spitting at him.  He walks away. I look at Danny. He glares at me.

"Go to class." Danny says and  turns and goes the opposite direction. I stand there. Everyone stares at me.

I walk away mad. I lock myself inside a stall in the bathroom. I grab the note. Being careful not to rip it. I hold it wondering what it contained. I man up and open it.

Rose.

Your hair burns like the fire in my heart. A fire I want to be burned on. Meet me at Dogwood park at 8 please.
