CLASS OF 2000
Chapter Three
Rose looked out her
window. This was a quiet night.
"Dad, can I
call Cole?" Rose yelled to her dad downstairs.
"Sure you
can," he replied.
Suddenly, Rose's
phone rang. "Never mind, Dad."
"Hey,
Rose," Cole said.
"Hey. What's
up?" Rose asked him.
"Not much.
Hey, are you going out with Ryan?" he asked her.
"Yes,"
Rose said.
"Cool. Hey,
can we come over?" he asked her.
"Sure. Come on
over," Rose said.
"All right.
Bye, Care Bear," Cole said.
"See you
later, Twinkie," Rose said.
After they hung up,
Rose went downstairs. "Hey, Sad."
"Hey, I got a
call on my cellular. I have to go out of state for a few days," Rose's dad
said.
"All right,
Dad," Rose said. Five minutes later, it was just Rose, alone in her house.
Suddenly, the door
opened, and Ryan, Jack, Shanleigh, Emily, and Cole walked in.
"Hey, Beetle
Bug," Rose said to Ryan.
"Hey, Care
Bear," Ryan replied.
"So, Rose,
what is Jack's nickname?" Ryan asked her.
"I don't know.
What's your middle name?" Rose asked him.
"William. Why?
What's yours?" Jack asked.
"My middle
name is Alexandria," Rose replied.
"Oh,
okay," Jack said.
"Why don't you
just ask her out?" Cole asked.
Jack started to
blush. Then Rose stepped in. "Maybe he thinks I have a boyfriend."
"And she
does," Ryan said.
"You two are
an item?" Shanleigh asked.
"Yeah. We
thought you knew," Rose said.
"No,"
Shanleigh and Emily said.
"Sorry for not
telling you," Ryan said.
"So, anyway, how
are we going to figure out Jack's nickname, Rose?" Cole asked her.
"I don't
know," Rose said.
"Why are you
asking Rose what my nickname will be?" Jack asked.
"Because she
made up these nicknames," Ryan told him.
"See, my name
is Twinkie," Cole said.
"I'm
Piglet," Emily said.
"I'm Beetle
Bug," Ryan said.
"I'm
Candy," Shanleigh said.
"And I'm Care
Bear," Rose said.
"Cool,"
Jack said.
"Okay, Jack,
your nickname is Snuggles," Rose said.
"Fine. Do we
all agree?" Emily asked.
"Yeah,"
they all said.
After that, they
all decided to play hide and seek. They were all happy, including Jack, even
though Rose had a boyfriend.
