Chapter 2: Interventions
"Who wants my banana?" Thomas offered to the table. "How does my mom not know I hate bananas?"
"I'll take it." Kristina grabbed it from his hands. "And, why don't you just tell her?"
"It'll break her little heart in two." Thomas softly said.
"You're a dork." Kristina smiled.
"I need a quarter." Rosalina asked over the loudness of the cafeteria.
"Good for you." David smirked. She hit him in the back of the head.
"Guys, I'm serious," She pleaded. "I really need one…" Before she could finish her sentence, Nat placed one in her open palm. She slightly smiled and he smiled back. "Thanks…Nat."
"I'll come with." Kristina announced, rushing to Rosalina's side. They started to walk to the vending machines in the hallway. "Okay, was that flirting I just witnessed?"
"Ummm… to be honest, I don't really know. Things between us have been awkward since the breakup. I don't know where I stand with him." Rosalina said, putting her money in the machine.
"Well, he definitely still has feelings for you. I know all of those boys have quarters and he pounced at the chance to give you his."
"Haha, he kinda did. Well, I don't think things are ever gonna go back to the way they used to be."
"What'd it used to be like?"
"Every time somebody said my name, he blushed and vice versa. We just playfully flirted around. We didn't really belong to each other and it was just… I don't know… fun." Rosalina said, looking through the giant window over looking the cafeteria. She practically stared at Nat.
"Tell me the truth, do you still love him?"
Meanwhile…
"Nat, come on, be serious. Do you still love her?" Cooper asked. Nat glanced over at the window and caught Rosalina's eye. They smiled at each other.
"Yeah." Both Nat and Rosalina answered at the same time, still looking at each other.
