"Ooh, I'm in love, it's a mystery
When I see you out at night, I start to get dizzy
Before I see you I pick out some things to say
Don't want to sound foolish and waste my chance away"

I wanna be your boyfriend by Ramoes

Rodrick Heffley has had a particularly rough evening after another argument with Frank, leaving him frustrated, exhausted, and in no mood to deal with anyone. When , his sweet and artistic girlfriend, comes over to work on promotional posters for Löded Diper, Rodrick abandons his usual sarcastic attitude and practically collapses onto her lap. He spends the evening grumbling about his family, complaining about school, and refusing to let her move because he's finally comfortable. Beneath his teasing and dramatic remarks, Rodrick trusts enough to let his guard down around her. Their relationship is full of playful banter, affection, and little gestures of care, including the colorful bandaids she paints for his bruises. Meanwhile, the dysfunctional Heffley household continues to create tension, with Frank's criticism and Susan's reluctance to intervene often leaving Rodrick feeling misunderstood.
