Time went on and school was well school. David had been right it was a nearly two weeks later and Rose had made new friends, and while she did still hand out with him and the other she musty spent her time with them. The boys got out of PE and were waiting for the girls to coming out. When they saw Donna and Martha David gave them a weird look.

"Where's Rose?" he asked.

"She already went to lunch with Juliet," Martha told him.

David's smiled became a frown. "Oh, ok. Allonsy then," he said before turning and walking towards the cafeteria.

Donna sighed then head to catch up to her twin the others following her. Chris nudged Donna and tilted his head towards his younger brother as in asking what was wrong with him.

"Rose isn't here," she whispered to him as if is it was an obvious answer

Chris rolled his eyes. "I get that but shouldn't he be used to this cycle by now?" he whispered back.

Donna shrugged, David did seem to be taking this harder than normal; she had an idea as to why though. Really it had always been obvious to her. Lunch passed as normal; the table chatting while David pushed his food around anytime someone mentioned Rose. Rose headed to her art class with Jimmy after lunch was finished, not saying anything to her old friends before leaving. Jimmy looked up as Rose came into the room. He smiled at her and stood up before pulling the chair out for her to sit in. Rose smiled at him taking her seat.

Jimmy pushed her in before sitting next to her. "How are you today beautiful?"

"Pretty good," Rose blushed slightly, "You?"

"Well, my day just got better now that you're here," Jimmy said with a smile, slinging his arm over her shoulder

Rose smiled, "Are we still alright to work on project this weekend?" she asked since there project was due the next weeks.

"Of course," Jimmy said happily.

"Great!"

"So what letters do we have left?" Jimmy asked in curiosity.

Rose took out the list of letters she had been checking off. "Seems we still have r, q, w, k and b."

Jimmy nodded. "I think I have a tire and crow bar at home we can use to make the letter q," he said with a dazzling smile.

Rose nodded, "That could work."

"Wonderful."

Jimmy and Rose continued to talk about where they could get the other letters. The two of them made plans for Saturday before they left and went their separate ways. Rose headed to her English class with David. David bumped her shoulder playfully, smiling brightly. He felt better now that she was in the same class with him for the day again.

Rose looked up smiling when she saw him, "Hey."

"How have you been? Have a good lunch?" David asked; part of him hoped she didn't because then she would come back to them but another part of him just wanted her to be happy.

"Pretty good," Rose told him, "sorry for not letting you know earlier that I was having lunch with Juliet and the others."

David shrugged, playing it off. "It's ok, just curious as to how it went is all."

"It went good, so did you finish reading the book we were given yesterday?" Rose smirked.

David rolled his eyes. "Are you kidding me, I finished it before we got out of class. It was so easy."

Rose smirked as they headed to their seats.

As soon as they sat down David passed her a note: so I have a question for you.

She replied by asking: what's that?

David took a few minutes to compose his reply. "Well, I was wondering if you would like to go to the movies with me Saturday."

Rose hesitated before replying sadly: I'm sorry I can't. I already made plans with Jimmy.

She would have liked to with him but she need to get the project done and it was the last weekend to work on it.

David swallowed hard at her answer. He knew a little bit about Jimmy but only what Rose told him about the guy. It was obvious to him that they were becoming close quickly. David turned to face the front and didn't reply; how do you reply to that? Rose was about to say something but the teacher decided to start class before she had the chance.

During the rest of class David didn't send her any notes or reply to the ones she wrote to him about if he was ok. It wasn't that he was angry at her, but he just didn't know what to say on the subject. Saturday's were always their days to go see a movie whether it was at one of their houses or out at the theater. He always asked her on Thursday to go see a movie just to be polite but never had she turned down his offer, especially to be with another guy.

Rose listened to the teacher, put only partly. Mostly she wondered if David was alright, he looked kinda pale; she hoped he wasn't sick with something. The class passed by too slow but eventually it ended and David began to pack up his things.

"Hey, David," Rose said getting his attention, "you feeling ok?"

"Yeah, I'm fine," David said quickly.

"You sure," Rose asked concerned.

"Yes, I'm fine. I'm always fine." David said the last part quieter than the first part.

"Ok," Rose dropped it but decided to keep an eye on him just in case.

History class passed by uneventfully; David didn't make any comments and seemed to lack enthusiasm. Music class was also rather quiet, Clara looked over what their progress on their chosen instruments were, and gave them a tips and a practice piece to work on. After the bell rang to signal the end of the school day David fought with himself on if he should just leave without Rose or wait for her like usual. He didn't want her to ask what was wrong because honestly he didn't know, but he knew she would.

"You're sure you alright? You're acting can funny recently," Rose asked before he had the time to leave. She was worried about him since he was her best friend and all.

David scowled. "Honestly, no I'm not and I don't know why."

"I hear talking helps," Rose offered.

David sighed silently as the two of them began walking to the front of the school. "It's just, Saturday is our thing."

"I know I'm sorry it's just we have a project due the next we and we need to finish it," Rose told him sadly.

"Yeah, ok," he said, downcast.

"I'll make it up to you next Saturday ok?" Rose nudged his shoulder with her own.

"Yeah," David said, nudging her back with a smile.
