Chapter 3
Second Date
Rosetta was at school earlier than usual. She was excited to go to school for the first time. It was actually weird.
"You're here early, aren't you?" Mia said, out of disbelief.
"Why is it so hard to believe?" Rosetta replied.
An hour later, Fool approached them.
"Hey, Rosetta! Hi, Mia! Good morning," Fool greeted them, happily.
"Hi, Fool! Last Saturday was really great!" Rosetta said, smiling.
"I enjoyed too," Fool said, smiling.
"Rosetta, I have to go to the classroom early, Sensei needs me! I'll see you in Science later," she winked.
"Mia!"
"So, I was wondering if you would want to go on Saturday, again. At Mount Juno, it's really breezy and great there. Want to go?" he asked.
"Sure! I would love to come with you!" Rosetta replied, happily.
"That's great! So, can I pick you up, or do we meet?" he asked.
"I'll just meet you at the shopping district," she replied.
That Saturday morning, Mia was at Rosetta's room helping her pick out a good outfit for her date.
"How about this one?" Mia advised.
"That's too formal, it's silk!" Rosetta commented.
"What about your laced dress, isn't it your favorite?" Mia suggested.
"I wore that last week, he'll think I'm an outfit repeater."
"Wait. You want to go shopping? "Mia suggested.
"We're running out of time! Do you have any other ideas?" Rosetta said.
"Where is the place, again? Mount Juno, was it?"
"Yes."
"Wear your black cardigan and your skinny jeans, it will be perfect. Step out from that 'Lolita' style for once…fine, use your Lolita shoes," Mia suggested.
"Great! You are an awesome style guru!"
"Thanks!"
Later she was ready to go to the date.
"Rosetta? Where are you going looking all pretty like that?" her mother asked.
"I'm going to Mia's house," she lied.
"She was here this morning, wasn't she?"
"Mom, we're best friends, we have to see each other. We need each other every hour, okay?" she reasoned out.
"Well, you too are real friends."
"Bye, Mom! I'll see you later!" she said, hurriedly. She sighed when she was out of her mother sight.
Then she shut the door. Outside she found the driver waiting for her.
"Where to, Ms. Passel?" the driver asked.
"To the shopping district, Douglas," she replied.
When her driver dropped her there, she saw Fool standing by the corner. She waited for her driver to leave until she approached him.
"Lying to your driver, eh?" Fool said, smiling.
"Nope, just a bit!" she sarcastically said.
"Let's go?"
"Sure!"
Then, they took the train to the mountain side. Rosetta was in awe as she saw the beautiful views.
"I've never seen anything like it," she said.
"That's just the beginning!" Fool replied to her comment.
"I'm not allowed to go just anywhere. My parents are very strict," she said, sadly.
"I know what you mean," he sighed.
"Did you sneak out, too?" she asked.
He smiled. "Yeah, I did."
"I'm glad we're in the same boat," she chuckled.
They arrived at the peak and Rosetta smiled like a child who had a new toy. The summit had a grand view and it was breezy. She didn't mind the wind messing her hair one bit. It felt so right and so good.
"I go here alone, sometimes," Fool said.
"It's amazing!" she replied.
They went to stands and Fool bought her a bracelet. He looked it in her wrist and their eyes met. They both blushed.
Before they separated at the shopping district, Fool hugged her.
"Thanks for making my day," he whispered.
"Thank you, Fool," she whispered back.
The driver arrived and took Rosetta back home. When she got home, her parents were staring at her angrily. Rosetta looked at them with fear.
"What could I have done this time?" she thought.
What could her parents say to her? Will she be in big trouble? Find out in the next chapter.
