Chapter 7:

"Hey Nat," Rosalina said as she walked into Nat's dressing room after school the next day. He was sitting on the couch, strumming on his guitar. "Can I talk to you?"

"Yeah babe, of course," Nat said as she sat down next to him. She had a notebook in her arms that she held close to her chest. "Whatcha got there?"

"So, I've been working on the pro lists for each school." Rosalina said, opening up the notebook to a full page of pros, one column for UCLA and one for NYU. Nat scanned the page, noticing the list for UCLA was a lot longer. He spotted his name on the bottom of both of them; a happy face next to the NYU name and a frowning face next to the UCLA name. "I just wanted to talk to you about this. And I've wanted to do this for a while but I've honestly been really nervous. I want you to tell the truth when I ask you this: do you want me to stay here and go to NYU?"

"Well of course I'd love to be able to see you every day but what I really want is for you to follow your dreams. And by the look of this list, UCLA is your dream." Nat told her. "And I support any dreams you have."

"But the last time I went away, everything got so messed up." Rosalina said, tears welling up in her eyes. "I can't keep leaving you Nat, you don't deserve it."

"You're not leaving me; it's just putting distance between us."

"But you said it yourself; long distance relationships will kill you."

"I was just a kid back then; I didn't know what love was." Nat said. "This right here, is love that can make it through this. We can do it Rosalina."

"Are you sure you want me to go?" Rosalina asked weakly.

"I'm so sure, that I bought this." Nat said, getting up and grabbing a sweatshirt out of his dresser. He held up a light blue and yellow hoodie with UCLA written across the front and put it on. "Go Bruins!"

"Nat Wolff, you never cease to amaze me," Rosalina grinned, standing up and giving him a hug.

"I just wanted you to know that I'm 100% behind you." Nat told her. Rosalina smiled up at him and he kissed her. "I was going to surprise you with it when I asked you to prom but I ruined that one."

"So, ask me now." Rosalina said, making Nat look at her questionably.

"You don't want some big ole proposal in front of everyone?" Nat asked curiously. "We're kind of known for that kind of stuff."

"I don't need all that. I mean, I love it when you surprise me like that, but it's not everything to me." Rosalina told him, wrapping her arms around his torso and resting her head against his chest. "This, right here, is everything to me."

"Well then, Rosalina Tai, future UCLA Bruin, the girl of my dreams, will you go to prom with me?" Nat asked, smiling down at her.

"Of course, baby," Rosalina grinned, wrapping her arms around Nat's neck and pulling him into a long kiss.

Meanwhile…

"Alex, I'm starting to think this isn't such a good idea." Juanita said as her and Alex were walking towards the diner, where Juanita's birth mother was waiting to meet them.

"We are going, now stop second guessing it," Alex told her, grabbing her hand to try and calm her down.

"What if she hates me?" Juanita asked fearfully.

"She could never hate you, you're awesome." Alex smiled as they approached the diner. Through the window, they could see a woman sitting in a booth alone.

"That's her, that's Lily, she looks like the picture." Juanita said, glancing down at the picture the adoption agency had given her. "I'm nervous."

"It'll be fine; I'll be with you the whole time." Alex comforted her, pulling the door open and letting his girlfriend walk in before him. Lily stood up and waved them over.

"Oh Juanita, it is so nice to finally meet you!" Lily said, shaking Juanita's hand with two hands. "And you are?"

"I'm Alex, Juanita's boyfriend." Alex politely said, shaking her hand.

"Oh you're the boy in the rock band, right?" She asked, making Alex smile and nod. "Let's sit down, order whatever you'd like."

"So, uhh, where are you living?" Alex asked, awkwardly trying to break the ice after they ordered.

"I'm living in Orlando now; I'm selling real estate down there." Lily said. "I'm here to learn about you though, Juanita. What do you like to do?"

"Well I love to skateboard; it's pretty much my life." Juanita smiled, starting to loosen up a bit. "It's how Alex and I met actually."

"That's great, you know, I was into all the stuff when I was in high school. Before you came along and all." She said. The food was delivered and everyone continued to talk while they ate. Alex's phone started to ring and he saw Thomas's name on the screen.

"It's the boys; I've got to take it." He announced. "I'll be back in a minute."

"Take your time," Juanita smiled. Taking the smile as a good sign, Alex headed outside and answered the call.

"Hey Tom, what's up?"

"Hey dude, just letting you know to be at lunch tomorrow."

"Oh yeah?"

"Yeah, something epic is about to go down. It's a surprise though so no other words."

"You sound cocky, this could end badly."

"Shut up and make sure you bring your camera tomorrow, Al."

"Will do man, good luck."

"Thanks, see you later." Alex hung up and headed back inside and sat down.

"We've got another promposal tomorrow." Alex told Juanita. "What'd I miss?"

"Actually, Lily asked me to go shopping with her for a bit so…"

"Okay okay, I get it; I'll get out of here." Alex smiled, kissing Juanita's cheek. "Call me later."

"Bye Alex," Lily waved then continuing her conversations with Juanita. Alex looked in one last time from the window and smiled at the sight of Juanita and Lily laughing together.
