"Dang, dude." Rosie sighed as she watched the open coffin go by her row. Inside was Robert's body, dressed in a white suit. "Now that I think about it, Bobby was just a regular teenage idiot." Rosie couldn't help a few tears from falling down her cheeks. In all honesty, Rosie had a crush on Robert for a few months, but had forgotten about him by the time she met Ginger, who sat next to her.
"Yeah." Ginger nodded as a few sobs erupted from Robert's family. "He may have been a moron, but he was just acting how normal boys do." Efran put an arm around his sister's shoulders.
"It's alright, Ginny." Efran gave a weak smile, trying to remain positive for his sister's sake. "Just think of how happy in Heaven he is now."
"Yeah, I guess." Ginger sniffed. Rosie looked down in sadness. Grell noticed this, and put on an upset facade for Rosie. However, inside, Grell was nearly jumping for joy. The boy that had hurt his rose was dead!
"It's alright, Rosie." Grell gently placed his hand on top of hers comfortingly. Rosie looked up at Grell, her eyes wet with tears. Grell gave a grin, looking more joyful than comforting. Rosie noted the odd behavior, but shrugged it off as she let Grell hold her hand.
As they walked out of the church, Ginger tapped Rosie's shoulder. "Hey," she smiled. "Can I talk with you for a sec?"
"Oh, sure." Rosie followed Ginger off to the side. "What's up?" Rosie asked as they were away from the small crowd.
"You know that butler guy with you, Grell I think his name was?" Ginger asked, looking to the side.
"Yeah?" Rosie nodded. "What about him?"
"Did you notice his facial expressions during the funeral?"
"Only once. Why?"
"He was acting a little too happy to be at a funeral. Don't you think?" Rosie pondered it for a minute. Besides looking up at Grell when he held her hand, nothing seemed odd, other than the fact that he had been a little bit more jumpy at home.
"I guess so." Rosie shrugged. "He's been acting kinda weird at home too."
"I think something's up with him." Ginger eyed Grell, who looked around worriedly, as he had not seen where Rosie went.
"Even if anything is up," Rosie crossed her arms. "What do you think we do?"
"We find out!" Ginger grinned. "Duh!" Efran came over to the two.
"Hey, Ginger." Efran spoke. "Mom says it's time to go home."
"Kay." Ginger nodded. "See you tomorrow. And, uh… Make sure your mom brings you to my house."
"Alright." Rosie shrugged as Grell came over to her.
"Rosie, darling." Grell caught her attention. "Time to go home."
"Kay." Rosie nodded. Grell carefully took her hand in his. Rosie looked at their joined hands, blushing, then looked at Grell as if to say 'Really?'
"Er… You don't mind, do you?" Grell asked, instantly regretting the action.
"Um…" Rosie paused. "I guess not." Grell smiled and gently squeezed her hand, causing her to blush a little more. "L-Let's just go already."
"Yes, my lady." Rosie's face was burning at this point.
"Bye, Ma!" Rosie waved as her mother dropped her off at Ginger's house the next evening.
"Have fun, Rosie!" Her mother smiled. Rosie walked up to the door, gathered her courage, as this was her first sleepover, and rang the doorbell. As she waited, she couldn't help but feel as though she were being watched. She adjusted her backpack, shifting and waiting for what felt like hours.
"Hey, Rosie!" Ginger greeted as she opened the door, much to Rosie's relief.
"Sup." Rosie smirked.
"Come on in." Ginger stepped to the side. "We were waiting for you."
"Hey, Rosie." Efran smiled as Rosie came in.
"Just drop your bag by everyone else's things." Ginger instructed. Rosie nodded and placed her backpack by the pile of bags.
"Rosie!" The eccentric freshman, Elizabeth, cried, embracing Rosie in a tight hug.
"Hey, Lizzy." Rosie grinned at the blonde.
"I haven't seen you in forever!" Lizzy cried.
"It's only been a week." Rosie smirked as Lizzy let go.
"Come on!" Lizzy took Rosie's wrist. "The others are waiting." Walking into the living room, Rosie saw the three other girls that had come. There was the Hispanic sophomore, Carolina, the Vietnamese senior, Crystal, and a girl Rosie didn't recognize with brown hair tied back in braids.
"Rosie." Ginger smiled, as the girl stood. "This is Maddie."
"Hi." Was all Maddie said before sitting back down.
"Not very talkative is she?" Rosie shrugged.
"Hey, Rosie." Carolina waved. Crystal, too immersed in the game, Guitar Hero, didn't notice.
"Hey you." Rosie waved.
"Well, now that everyone's here," Ginger spoke. "What should we do?"
"Truth or Dare!" Lizzy exclaimed.
"Sure!" Carolina shrugged. "Hey, Crystal."
"What?" Crystal turned around as she finished the stage with excellence.
"You wanna play Truth or Dare?" Carolina asked.
"Eh, sure." Crystal took off the fake guitar and walked to the small circle the girls had made.
"Rosie!" Lizzy smirked. "Since you were the last to arrive, you get to go first."
"Seems like a sweet deal to me." Rosie grinned. "Okay then, Crystal. Truth or dare?"
"Dare me, sucker." Crystal grinned.
"Run around the room quaking like a duck for a minute." Rosie grinned.
"Alright." Crystal shrugged, standing up. She then proceed to run around in a circle, quaking at the top of her lungs.
"…And stop!" Rosie called after a minute had passed and the rest of the girls nearly passed out from laughter.
"Well, that was fun." Crystal smiled, sitting down. "Alright then, Ginger. Truth or dare?"
"Truth." Ginger shrugged. She wasn't in the mood to humiliate herself, even if it was just a game.
"Is it true that you liked Robert?" Crystal asked.
"Oh!" Ginger paused. "Yeah, I did. Not that it matters now anyways."
"Yeah… Sorry." Crystal apologized.
"Don't be." Ginger smiled. "Rosie. Truth or dare?"
"Truth." Rosie leaned back against the wall. Ginger grinned.
"Is it true that you and Grell are dating?" Rosie's face turned instantly red.
"What?" Carolina and Crystal asked simultaneously. Lizzy giggled.
"Remember!" She sang. "You have to be honest."
"No!" Rosie yelped rather quickly. "I swear to God, we're not!"
"Sure seemed like it yesterday." Ginger leaned in to Rosie.
"We're not!" Rosie yelped defensively. "He's just a little…"
"A little what?" Carolina asked, suddenly interested.
"Ah… I don't know the right words for this. Um… touchy feely, I guess." Rosie shrugged.
"Seems more like obsessed to me." Ginger smirked.
"Sh-Shut up!" Rosie tried to hide her face in her hands. "God, we're not dating!"
"But you want to?" Crystal asked out of curiosity.
"No!" Rosie paused. "Maybe… a little." The girls squealed.
"I knew it!" Ginger cried.
"God." Rosie crossed her arms her face red as a beat. "I hate you guys."
