Love, Rosie (8 page)

You
call
anyone
who
sleeps
with
anyone
a
slut.

Eh
SLIGHT
exaggeration
there
Alex.
I
call
people
who
sleep
with

different
people
every
day
of
the
week
sluts.

You
no
that’s
not
true.

You
keep
spelling
KNOW
wrong.
It’s
KNOW
not
NO.

Shut
up
with
the
“know”
thing,
you’ve
been
going
on
about

that
since
we
were
about
5!

Yeah
exactly
so
you
think
you
would
listen
to
me
by
now.

Oh
forget
I
said
anything.

Oh
Alex
I’m
just
worried
about
you.
I
know
you
really
like

her
and
all
I’m
saying
is
that
she’s
not
a
one
man
kind
of

girl.

Mr.

Well
she
is
now.

Are
you
two
going
out
with
each
other?

Yes.

YES?????

You
sound
surprised.

I
just
didn’t
think
Bethany
went
out
with
people,
I
thought

she
just
slept
with
them.

Alex?

OK
OK
I’m
sorry.

Rosie
you
need
to
stop
doing
that.

I
no
I
do.

Ha
ha

You
two
get
down
to
the
principal’s
office
now.

WHAT???
OH
SIR
PLEASE,
I
WAS
LISTENING
TO
YOU!

Rosie
I
haven’t
spoken
for
the
last
15
minutes.
You
are
sup-

posed
to
be
working
on
an
assignment
now.

Oh.
Well
it’s
not
my
fault.
Alex
is
an
awful
influence
on
me.

He
just
never
lets
me
concentrate
on
my
school
work

I
just
had
something
really
important
to
tell
Rosie
and
it
just

couldn’t
wait.

So
I
see
Alex,
congratulations.

Eh
.
.
.
how
do
you
know
what
it
was
.
.
.

I
think
you
two
would
find
it
interesting
sometimes
if
you

listen
to
me
every
now
and
again.
You
can
really
learn
some

useful
tips
like
how
to
keep
an
instant
message
private
so

everyone
else
on
the
other
computers
can’t
see.

Alex:

Are
you
telling
me
other
people
in
the
class
can
read
this?

love,
rosie
