Awkward Moments

Jake's prediction had been right. That night, he had to take care of Stan the Sewer Troll. But as he woke up the next morning, he dressed and got ready for school as quickly as he could. He looked at the clock and realized he had just made a record. It had taken him seven minutes to get ready. He grabbed his backpack and threw it on. Jake found that he was not the only one over an hour early for the bus. Rose swung around the corner just as he did the same. They met shyly at the bus stop.
"Umm, hi," Jake said, not wanting to bear the silence.
"Hi. Yesterday was….quite a day, wasn't it?" Rose asked.
"Yeah," Jake agreed. After a few minutes of silence, Jake suggested something that he knew would betray the dragons before him, but he wanted to talk to Rose alone.
"Rose, I need to talk to you…..alone. Why wait for the bus?"
"But how else are we going to-no, Jake, absolutely not," Rose said as it dawned on her what Jake was saying.
"Aww, come on, yo. It's not like I'll gobble you up or drop you or anything," Jake pleaded.
"I don't know……Fine. I've always wanted to fly anyway," Rose said hesitantly.
