Chapter 5 An Unfortunate Turn Of Events

'It's now or never...' he thought, and heaving a deep sigh, he began to make his way to her down the hall. As he was approaching, she turned and saw him.

He gulped, and said,"Uh, what up, Rose?"

She smiled at him. "Oh! Hey, Jake!"

Jake scratched the back of his head, and began. "Hey...um, listen...I've been thinking-a lot- and I think... maybe we should go out with other people for now..."

Rose looked taken aback for a moment, then she reached inside her locker and pulled out her Math book. Jake grinned.

"Is Math your next class or something..?"

Watching her, Jake rubbed his head. "Uh...that went well!"

Trixie and Spud walked over to him. Trixie looked down the hall at Rose. "How'd it go?" she asked.

Jake shrugged. "She took it well..."

Trixie looked him in the eye. "Meaning..."

Jake laughed. "Meaning, she hit me with her math book..."
