"Oh my God, it looks weird."

"Why did you have to do it all of a sudden?"

"Did you tell Jackson?" My friends, Jessica and Miley bombard me with a countless number of preposterous questions.

"NO! Jackson does not know about this." I say as I shove my books into my locker.

"Well, he will eventually know about it. How do you think he will react to this?" Miley asks.

"I don't know about that. But if he hurts her or breaks up with her because of this, I'm gonna kick him where the sun doesn't shine." Jessica says to Miley.

"Calm down tigress. You wouldn't wanna scare that poor lad away now, do you?" Miley says tantalisingly.

"Guys, will you just calm down? This isn't that big of a deal, really. I'm very sure Jackson wouldn't freak out. There is nothing to freak out. This is completely normal." I say as we head towards the school cafeteria. I save us a seat at our usual table while Miley and Jessica were on their way to buy lunch from the school canteen. I always bring my own lunch to school since I don't like the food they serve here. Before I could open my lunchbox, someone lightly taps me on my left shoulder, I turn to my left and see no one when I suddenly feel the familiar tap on my right shoulder. As soon as I turn to my right, Jackson promptly smashes his lips against mine.

"Hey, gorgeous." He says pulling away. I give him a tight lipped smile, acknowledging his presence.

"What'd you bring?" He asks eyeing my lunchbox. I open it and see that it had Mac and cheese packed in.

"This looks good." He says, grabbing the spoon from my hand and taking a bite.

"Hmmm, this is so damn good." He says. I again, give him a tight lipped smile and nod my head. He raises an eyebrow at my unusual demeanour.

"What happened?" He asks. I simply shrug my shoulders and shake my head.

"Why aren't you talking? You have a sore throat, baby?" He asks, gently brushing his fingertips against my cheek. I smile at him and shake my head.

"What's the matter? Why aren't you talking to me then?" He starts getting annoyed. I cover my mouth with my hand and speak.

"Nothing?" I say with my muffled voice.

"Why are you covering your mouth?" He asks while grabbing my wrist and pulling my hand away from my mouth.

"Rosie? Show me your teeth." He says with a sly smirk. I roll my eyes and shake my head.

"Oh come on! I wanna see if it is what I think it is." He says teasingly. I give him a sarcastic smile and shake my head.

"Alright then, we'll do it my way." He says before holding both my wrists together, with one of his hands, and tickling me with his other.

"N-Noooo, Jackson.......stop it......p-please," I say as I laugh hysterically. He let goes of my hands and starts laughing himself.

"Ohh my lord, Rosie. You got braces!" He says while holding his stomach and laughing his butt off.

"Well, yes I got braces. I don't see what's so funny here." I say while crossing my arms. I knew that I looked funny, but I didn't expect Jackson to make fun of me out of everyone.
