Chapter 5: Let's Talk
"I knew it!"
Leah called Trixie the next morning and confessed.
"Knew what?"
"That you like Jake, Girl! The way you look at him, the way you got annoyed when he mentioned Rose..."
Leah grinned sheepishly. "I was that obvious, huh?"
"For real! Whatcha gonna do?"
She shrugged. "I dunno. Tell him how I feel?"
"Well, how else will he find out?" Trixie pointed out.
"Good point. Thanks, Trix!"
"What are friends for?"
Later, after their training session, Jake and Leah were walking home from the shop.
"Jake, thanks again for helping me out."
"Hey, no prob!" He replied modestly.Leah decided to take the next step.
"So," She said causually. "The dance is coming up. Who are you taking?"
"What do you mean?" Jake asked, puzzled. "I told you- since Rose-"
"Urg! 'Rose, Rose, Rose'!" She exploded. "Is she all you can think about? She's not the only girl in New York, you know!"
"You don't know her, Leah!" Jake insisted. "She's special!"
She scoffed. "Oh, and I'm not?" She started walking to her house.
On a nearby rooftop, the Huntsman and Rose were standing on the edge watching as Leah stormed off and Jake turned the other direction.
"There she is." He whispered softly. "Unguarded. Go!" He commanded Rose.
Leah was just pausing at the end of the street to look both ways when a gloved hand slipped over her moth and pulled her backward!
Mwahaha! What'll happen? Stay tuned
