Chapter Five
"Oh, my God! He is so hot!" Dawn squealed.
It was last period and the two were supposed to be
discussing the play "Hamlet" but Rose told Dawn about her date with
Jack and they got so caught up in the moment the play was soon forgotten.
"Yeah he is," Rose giggled. "He wants
me to show him around the city but he doesn't realize that would take days to
do, this is a big city!"
"Hmm that would cause a problem..."
"I got it!" Dawn snapped her fingers.
"Why not take him to The Roxy?!"
The Roxy was dance club on Whyte Ave and was a local
hangout for teens.
"PERFECT!" Rose exclaimed a little too
loudly that the whole class turned to stare at her.
Mr. Andrews looked up from the chalkboard with a
strange look on his face.
"So Miss Dewitt-Bukater thinks Hamlet should have
killed his uncle with the supper ham?"
The whole 12th grade English class burst out laughing.
Rose buried her nose deep in the book blushing as red
as a tomato.
BUZZZZ!
Everyone grabbed there books and headed to their
lockers anxious to get home.

Jack, Fabrizio, and Tommy were just getting out of
biology and heading towards their lockers on the other side of the school when
Fabrizio ran into Helga.
"Helga!" He put his arm around her.
"’Ello boys." She replied with a light Irish
accent.
Fabrizio introduced Helga to Jack.
"And Jack this is Helga MacDahl. She is from
Queenstown."
"Nice to meet you." He shook her hand.
"I'm surrounded by foreigners." Tommy
muttered.
"Yeah but you love us!"
Jack gave Tommy a small punch on the shoulder.
"So where are you from then Jack?" Helga
asked
"The infamous Santa Monica of USA."
"Lucky Bastard!" Tommy looked at him with
envy.
Fabrizio just looked puzzled.
"I've never heard of it."
"It's in California," He explained.
"Where are you from Fabri?"
"El Salvador."
Jack looked down at his watch.
"Hey guys I have to go meet Rose now, so I'll
seeya later."
"You da man Jack!"
"Ha ha thanks Tommy." He laughed and headed
towards the main doors.

"Maybe he's not going to show." Rose bit
down on her lip.
"Calm down Rose!" Dawn took a sip of her
Evian. "He's only two minutes late.”
"Look there he is!"
Rose saw Jack come out of the school and let out a
small sigh of relief.
"I'm going now, call me later k Rose?"
"Ok bye Dawn." She waved goodbye to her
friend.
