"Tell me about it," Rose smiled. "They were a bit tight in spacing. But thank you." Rose began to rummage around in her bedside table and pulled out a bag of popcorn, along with two bottle of cokes from her sort of ‘well hidden’ mini fridge. "You like popcorn?" Rose asked. 

"Of course," Ricardo replied "it's not really a movie without popcorn."  He said while silently wondering to himself why popcorn of all things became the number one movie snack; he then laughed at himself for thinking really stupid things.  Ricardo then saw the bottles of coke in her hand and remembered how he was thinking about how much he needed one all day. "And coke too? I knew you were an excellent writer, but I had no idea you were a mind reader."

Rose laughed along with him. “I call it the creators mess,” She grinned. As they reached Rose’s room, Rose unlocked the door and held it open for Ricardo as she walked through. “It’s not much,” she smiled, ” But the views from the window are amazing.”

Ricardo walked in after Rose. Her room was messy, but not nearly as messy as she had built it up to be.  He looked around as he agreed "Yeah, it's not like they give us a whole lot of room to put things anywhere, but your room is nice regardless."  He then looked out the window, where the view of the Common Garden and everyone in it was just, as Rose said, amazing.

Rose nodded along with a small laugh, “Yeah, you’d think so.” They weren’t too far from Rose’s room now. “I’m going to apologize in advance for any form of mess there may be in my room,” she said with a smile. “I wasn’t expecting us to come up to my room,” Rose added. 

Ricardo laughed and shook his head.  "Nothing compares to the mess my room was before I cleaned it up earlier."

Rose laughed, “It does suck.” Rose’s room was on the third floor which gave her some great views from her window which gave her a lot of inspiration to write, but the great views came with a cost of many flights of stairs. “It’s annoying having to go up this many stairs,” she commented.

Ricardo smiled in agreement, with him being a Junior as well, he had quite a few stairs to walk up himself everyday.  "Yeah, you'd think a fancy school like Sodalis would invest in an elevator or two," he joked.

"I have a few movie-type snacks up in my room that we can take to your room?" Rose suggested. She continued on, "And if we’re hungry later we can always come back down here?" 

"Sounds good to me," Ricardo agreed.  "Cafeteria food pretty much sucks anyway," he joked. He then began to walk with Rose to her room.

Rose rested her elbows on the table, something her dad didn’t used to like, and shrugged lightly. “Pizza’s always a good option. Movie food,” Rose said with an almost grin. “For some reason I feel like it’s too early to eat, though?” She asked more than stated, after all it had only just recently turned 3pm. 

Ricardo nodded his head "yeah, I guess so."  "Was there something else you had in mind for us to do?" He asked, not really sure himself what he wanted to do.

Ricardo's nerves seemed to flee his body as Rose sat down.  "Hey," he greeted back. He didn't know what else to say, so Ricardo just asked "so anything in particular that you would like to eat?"  He didn't normally eat in the cafeteria.

"I can’t wait," Rose smiled. 

"SAme here," Ricardo replied.  He then bid goodbye to Rose before going back to his room to study for that  english test he forgot about.

Rose stopped walking a second after Ricardo did and nodded. “Yeah, that’d be nice.” She looked up at him and smiled before asking, “So straight after class we’ll meet there?”

Ricardo nodded with a smile "right after."

Rose nodded. “Yes, It’ll be great,” she smiled back. Rose found herself quite excited for tomorrow now. “We can watch it at yours,” she said ,”If you want to watch it at yours, I mean.” Rose was suddenly feeling quite nervous although happy to spend more time with Ricardo. 

Ricardo shook his head "No, my room is fine."  He stopped walking and then said "we should meet up in the cafeteria after school and we can eat before the movie."

Rose grinned. “Yes, it’s amazing,” she replied. “David Bowie plays a great role too.” Rose looked up at Ricardo and smiled before nodding, hopefully not coming across as too excited by him asking. She blushed lightly, and she hoped it wasn’t too obvious, before saying, “You definitely need to watch it. So yes, I’d like that.” 

Ricardo smiled, happy Rose agreed to spend more time with him.  "If you're not busy tomorrow, we could hang out in my room and watch it... Or yours... Whichever you prefer," Ricardo suggested.

Rose nodded in an approval sort of way to Ricardo’s artist choice. “Very nice,” she smiled. “Uhm, probably 500 Days of Summer or Labyrinth, have you seen either of those?” she asked. “What’s your favorite?”

Ricardo looked surprised "Labryinth? That movie is amazing."  He then thought for a second "But I've never seen 500 Days of Summer.  Maybe you could watch it with me sometime?"  Ricardo felt really nervous asking,even though he was comfortable talking to Rose.  He just hoped he didn't look as nervous as he felt.
