A/N: Written for the New Who Fic Olympics over on Tumblr. Beta'd by the lovely ifonlyx33


Rose was having a really crappy day. Between exams piling up and her part time job at the library, she was really stressed out. She would quit the job, if she and her mum didn't need that extra money. She had an hour's work before she could get home. Looking over to the desk with the piles of return books, she sighed, getting to work so that she could get home faster.
Rose had scanned what felt like 50 books and was really wishing to be just done with everything when a coffee cup was placed in front of her.
"Oh thank God," Rose exclaimed, picking up the cup and drinking from it. Turning around in her chair, she saw her mate Clara grinning down at her.
"I thought you would need that after today's exam," Clara said.
"You are a lifesaver, Oswald," Rose said, taking small sips of her coffee.
"Nah, you'd do the same for me." Clara shrugged, leaning in to look at the pile of books on the desk.
Looking closer, Rose noticed that Clara was dressed up nicer than usual.
She smirked thinking her friend might have a date.
"So, Clara, you're looking extra nice today. What's the occasion?" she asked with some mirth to her tone.
Clara smiled widely, like she couldn't control all her excitement. " I have a date, with Nina," she staged whispered.
Rose laughed, happy at Clara's obvious excitement of the date.
"Well, finally. I was beginning to think you two would never get together."
Rose shook her head and took books from Clara as she handed them. "So, who asked who?" Rose asked
"Well I was a bit nervous, and she was a bit nervous. So we both kind of just blurt out about getting dinner or a movie, and the rest was giggles and her pretty smile." Clara said distractedly. Rose grinned feeling extremely happy for her friend.
Clara frowned handing over the next book. "Rose, there's a note on this for you."
Rose took the book, a mathematics one, that had a sticky note on the front that read,
"Rose Tyler- look inside."
"Wha—?" Rose flipped open the book, and could feel Clara getting over her shoulder just to get a better on another page was a sticky note saying, "I think you are gorgeous."
Rose tilted her head frowning a bit.
"Well, looks like you've got a secret admirer," Rose heard Clara say from behind her.
Rose turned and looked at her, "You're having me on aren't you?, did you put it there?" she asked her.
Clara shook her head. "Why do you think I would do this? I don't need anonymity to tell you you're gorgeous," she said smirking.
Rose laughed. "Point there," she said. Taking the note from the book and holding it up to her face she scrutinized it. "So if it's not a joke, then it's probably a new form of flirting Jack has found," Rose said, flicking the note onto the table.
"Rose how come you are so sure it's a joke? I'm pretty sure someone fancies you," Rose softened, thinking it had been a while since things had ended with Mickey. And how this could actually be something nice.
"Oh!" Clara exclaimed, pulling rose out of her thoughts, "Late for a date." She hurried toward the exit and as she turned around to give her a wave, Rose crossed her fingers, held them up for Clara to see.
Going back to work and head a bit in the clouds thinking of dates, happy friends and a possible secret admirer.
