A/N: Hey guys, here's the first part of my alternative ending to Sidekicks. Each chapter will switch back and forth between Nat and Rosalina's point of view. I'm getting ready to go out of town for a few days so unfortunately, I probably won't be able to update until I get back. But I wanted to give you this teaser before I left, because I figured this cute scene from Sidekicks would be better than nothing.
Disclaimer: I do not own the Naked Brothers Band.
Rosalina's POV
Today is the first day of the last week of school, but I wake up as sluggishly as ever. School is school, even if it's almost the end. I go downstairs, grab a bowl of cereal to eat, and then take a quick shower before Nat shows up. My house is in the opposite direction from Nat's apartment than the school is, but he insists on walking to school with me every day. Originally, I kept telling him he didn't have to walk over here. If anything, I would leave earlier and meet him at his apartment. But every day, he kept showing up before I was even ready to leave, so I eventually just dropped it. After all, I do enjoy walking with him every day.
"Hey Rosalina," he greets when I open the door for him.
"Hi Nat," I smile, "I'm almost ready. Why don't you come inside to wait?"
"Sure," Nat replies and takes a seat on the couch. I tell him to make himself at home and rush upstairs to finish getting ready. I finish putting my hair up and throw my backpack over my shoulder as I'm walking down the stairs.
"I'm ready," I say and Nat gets up and follows me to the door.
As we start walking, Nat looks over at me and says, "So… I heard the high school prom is on Saturday, the same night as the masquerade party." I had a feeling he would bring this up.
"I know it's on the same night, but I'd rather go to the masquerade party," I tell him honestly.
"You would? But it's just a middle school party," he comments. I don't know why he thinks it's such a big deal. Nat and all my other friends will be at the masquerade party. I do have some other friends in my high school classes, but they're nowhere near as fun to hang out with as the rest of the Naked Brothers Band. Plus, if I go to the prom, I have to deal with Patrice. I used to be worried about what she thought of me, but since then, I've realized who my real friends are and I could care less about what she thinks.
"So? It will be more fun for sure. I mean, definitely more fun than going to prom without a date." I add. That's another reason why I don't really want to go to prom. Honestly, the only person I would want to go with would be Nat, but I don't think he's going to ask me. I decide to hint that I want to go with him anyway. I look over at him to see his reaction.
"A date?" Nat asks like this is the first time he's heard the word. "A date. Right."
"Can you believe it's like the last week of school?" I mention. It does seem like this year has gone by fast.
"I know. It seems almost like a date," Nat replies. I give him a confused look, but inside, I'm kind of glad that he's still thinking about what I said. "I mean, wait, what?"
"What-what are you saying?" I ask with a laugh. I have to admit, this is quite amusing.
"I have no idea, none whatsoever. No idea," he remarks. I laugh some more and nudge his side with my elbow playfully. He's so cute when he's nervous.
"So we have rehearsal after school today, right?" I ask to confirm.
"Yeah, Cooper says to be there by 4," Nat responds.
"Okay good, that's what I thought," I say as we approach Amigos High and Junior High School.
We both say "bye," but before I walk through the door, I hear Nat say my name.
Thanks for reading! As I mentioned before, the next part will be in Nat's POV. I will be back to continue the story in a few days, so stay tuned. I hope you've all had happy holidays! :)
