Chapter 84

I adjust my tie and make sure that I look extra good for the night. The truth is, I don't really care about this event. I have been to numerous ones like it before, but this one is different. I have Rosie Kensington as my date. It is more than special,

For years, I have had a crush on her ever since I was a senior in high school, but I couldn't do anything about it. I know how she sees me. I'm just the annoying guy she met five years ago because of Holden and Lily. I had just turned fifteen when I met her, and she was tw She made me so nervous, and I didn't know how to act around her, so I just decided to annoy her.
