Love, Rosie (107 page)

Peter
to
restock
the
fridge
and
he
owed
me
one
after
I
gave
his
parents
a

Valentine’s
Day
discount
in
the
middle
of
May.
So
it
can’t
be
that
.
.
.
oh
god

this
is
killing
me.
I
really
don’t
want
to
work
for
Randy
Andy
again
and
I

don’t
think
I
have
energy
to
go
sending
CV’s
out
again.
And
the
stress
of

another
job
interview.

love,
rosie

They
only
want
to
meet
with
me.
But
Bill
didn’t
smile
at
me
when
he

said
it
and
his
eyes
weren’t
as
twinkly
as
usual.
Oh
no
what
does
that

mean?!

Fired!

Oh
my
god,
the
new
skinny
girl
has
a
meeting
too
next
week.
She’s
the

worst
worker
ever.
She’s
called
in
sick
more
times
than
she’s
been
in.
Proba-

bly
because
she
never
eats.
Lunch
breaks
are
wasted
on
her.
She
just
stares

across
the
table
at
your
plate
with
a
horrible
face
on
her
as
though
food
is

the
devil
and
she
sips
on
a
bottle
of
water.
Then
halfway
through
her
bottle

she
gets
full,
tightens
the
lid,
and
leaves
it
behind.

I
better
start
job-hunting
I
think.

Chill
out!

For
Christ
sake
Rosie
Dunne,
I
love
you
with
all
my
heart
but
you
need

to
chill
out!

You
have
an
instant
message
from:
RUBY

Ruby:

Ruby:

Oooh
so
he
loves
you
with
all
his
heart
does
he?

Well,
get
a
less
obvious
password,
“Buttercup.”
You
two
are
being

all
flirty
with
each
other
lately.

Rosie:
Oh
stop
reading
my
e-mails
Ruby.

Rosie:
No
we
haven’t!
How
on
earth
have
we
been
flirty??!

Ruby:

Rosie:

You
know
yourself.

Oh
please
I
thought
you
were
going
to
make
a
good
point
for
once

in
your
life.

We’re
just
getting
along
like
we
used
to
do;
that’s
all.
Alex
has

perked
himself
up,
I
think
he’s
happy
again.

Because
he’s
in
lurve
.
.
.

He
is
not
in
love.
Well
not
with
me
anyway.

Oh
sorry
I
was
just
misguided
by
the
fact
that
he
said
in
his
e-mail

that
he
“loved
you
with
all
his
heart.”

As
a
friend
loves
a
friend
Ruby.

You’re
my
friend
and
I
do
not
love
you
with
all
my
heart.
Hell
I
