I failed, I know. I meant to go farther in this chapter, but things came up, so I stopped where I did. I'm also sorry for no early update, I tried, I really did. I started this chapter on Wednesday, but I didn't finish it. Again, I am sorry, but I didn't want this to be late.

The Skele-pun Master: U up yet?

I sighed as I read the text.

Rose: Duh. I need to go to work in 10 minutes.

The Skele-pun Master: oh ya forgot bout that

Rose: I think I'm going to go now; better early than late. I'll talk to you later.

The Skele-pun Master: k and stop being so formal in you're texts
Rose: *Your and no.

Satisfied with our conversation, I turned my phone off and went into the kitchen. "Come on, Brooke, let's go," I whined, pulling on my roommate's arm. "Are we walkin' today?" she asked, her hands hovering over the car keys. "Yep! Let's go!" I unlocked the door and stepped out into the cool air. "Ew, it's cold," a voice pointed out beside me. "Noooooooooooooooooo I thought it was 100 degrees!" I replied sarcastically. "Brooke, please. It's only five minutes away." "Fine," Brooke huffed, as if she would have left me walking by myself. "I heard that Jake was back today. And that he was bringing his boyfriend," my best friend sang, causing my eyes to light up. "Yay! I love those two so much. I hope Nick will want a burger..." I trailed off, getting lost in my thoughts. "Of course he will, he always does, even if it's for breakfast." That's why I was friends with Brooke; she always helped me keep my head up. I reached towards my phone when I heard my "you got a text" ring tone.
The Skele-pun Master: fine, your dead to me.
I laughed as I typed out a reply.

Rose: *You're but nice try.

"Who's that?" Brooke asked, reading over my shoulder. "Oh, he's just a friend," I replied, pushing her away. "The Skele-pun Master? That doesn't even make sense," she questioned, pushing me back. "He's a skeleton," I replied, smiling. "Oooooh, has my bestie fallen for a monsterrrr?" Brooke exclaimed, hearts in her eyes. "Brooke, no, shut up!" I shot back, my face turning bright red. "Does my bestie want t-" "DON'T YOU FUCKING DARE" "to bone him?" "BROOKE I WILL MURDER YOU I KNOW WHERE YOU SLEEP!" I screamed, punching her in the arm. "Swear jar," she reminded me, causing me to scream out of anger. I stormed into my work, a laughing Brooke behind me.

After I got changed, I returned to my stand, finding Brooke sitting on the other side. "I don't think I want to talk to you right now," I said, turning away from her. "I'm not here to tease you; I came here to deliver news before I go back to my cupcake place. Erica's not here today, and Jake was wonder-" "Nope," I reply, knowing what was coming. "Oh, come on, please? Why won't you? You're a beautiful singer!" she begged giving me her best puppy dog eyes. "That's a lie, Brookie, and you know it," I responded turning away. "We'll play your favorite song... I'll do the first part with you! Plus no one's here anyways, and we can make the lights brighter so you don't see the people that aren't there!" I thought about that... it was tempting. "Fine." "YES!" "Don't get too excited, it's not going to happen again," I assured her, walking over to a stage in the middle of the restaurant.

Once again, I am so sorry. I know, this sucked. Please don't let this chapter lead you away, the next one will be better! So, in the next chapter, I have her sing the song, so do you guys want the whole song or just the first few and last lines? Please feel free to message me or leave a review with what you thing. See you, I'll try, before next Friday. Don't count on it, though...
