"Rose stop! Please!" Dimitri was screaming. Raining was pouring down really hard. It was hard for me to tell where I was going. I couldn't see the academy very well. I could barley see the sidewalk. I was going at a cross between a fast walk and a sprint. Dimitri wasn't having trouble keeping up with me. "Rose!" Dimitri grabbed my wrist. I stopped, ripped my wrist from his grasp and smacked him across the face. I knew it wouldn't hurt him, i wasn't trying to (well not physically) hurt him. But the look on his face made it seem like i had just punched him as hard as i could. I was now shaking. And the pouring rain didn't help. My breathing was hard. I was facing him, the hand i had just smacked him with was by my side. My left hand was placed in a loose fist just above my heart. My chest was heaving, i was trying to calm down. Their was just to much rage inside me. I cant believe i just hit Dimitri, but what he did, he deserved it. "Roza" He said my name, laced thick with his Russian accent. It wasn't loud enough to be a whisper. In fact in not sure he even said my name. The look in his eyes gave me an answer. Tears were streaming down my face, mixing with the rain.

We stood their, looking at each other for what seemed like hours. Finally i had enough physical and mental strength to turn and run the other direction. It didn't hear his feet thumd agasint the ground so i knew he wasn't following me. When i was about 15 feet in front of him, I slowed and turned around to glace at him. He indeed hadn't followed me. He was staring at the ground. My heart twisted, then i remember what he had done earlier. And my heart crushed all at once. I ran as fast as i could to my dorm. Ironic that Dimitri was the one who trained me to run that fast. When i safely was in front of the doors i paused before opening them to my dorm. I took a deep breath. I had just been caught in the rain, that's all. I flung the door open and took one step inside. Thankfully no one was their.

I didnt have a need to go anywhere. So i leaned against the door and slid down it. Their I cried silently. I sat their in my damp clothes thinking about all the events that had happened. I started to tear up, realizing it was a bad idea to think about it. I stood up, but it was like i was unable to move from that spot. I stood their for probably 30 minutes before I collected myself and decided it was best to take a shower. Hoping i could wash away the dirt and the terrifying thoughts. After i was all cleaned up and had fresh dry warm clothes on i decided to get some coffee. I had just left my dorm when i was greeted by no one other than the famous Adrian.

"Rough night, Little Dhampir?" I didn't look at him i nodded and simply continued looking straight and kept walking, Adrian fell in pace with my walking. It was silent for a while. We had almost reached the kitchen when he spoke. "Your auras darker than usual." My walk faultered a little but i kept going. I didn't know if Adrian noticed or not. "Anything i can do to help?" Clearly he noticed. "Rose, please, say something. Anything. Tell me how annoying i am or how i should be in bed and not wondering around at weird hours, just please say something."

"Coffee" I said. Adrian stopped walking for about two seconds before hurrying to catch up with me. "I need coffee"

"Let me get it for you-"

I stopped walking and turned toward him. I held up my hand. Telling him it was unnecessary for him to do so without saying anything. I looked into his eyes for the first time since our encounter. I could tell he wanted to help me. And it was going to be rude if i started flying all over him, for something that wasn't his fault. I also relized how boyish he looked. His hair was messed up, but not the usual perfect messed up. It was slightly faultered. He was wearing something casual. Real casual. Like 'I'm a normal person' casual. He was wearing a plain v-neck white tee-shirt and-for gods sake. Adrian was flaunting his boxers. This made me give a little smile, and him a huge full toothed one. This acctually was like the normal Adrian. He was actually pretty good looking. Who was i kidding, Adrian was gorgeous. He had a beautiful complection perfect white teeth a nicely structured face and smooth soft hair framed it wonderfully. No wonder Adrian could get someone he wanted. This guy was dreamy. He must have noticed me checking him out, because his checks got slightly pinker. It actually made him look adorable. I mentally shock myself and turned to continue walking.

We reached to kitchen and i pushed the two doors open and slid my hand up the right wall searching for the light switch. The lights flicked on. I had never gone in the kitchen before, i knew it was gonna be big, but this kitchen was frickin' big. Everything was stainless steam or marble. And so organized. I looked over the counter tops for a coffee machine. And found nothing. In fact their was nothing on the tables at all. I sighed in disappointment, i didn't feel like searching the 20 some cabinets their were. I flicked the light off and moved around Adrian out the door. He followed silently. The silence was ticking me off. Like usual, Adrian knew when i was uncomfortable. "I know a place where we can get coffee, Rose." He tugged my arm. "Come on." He smiled.

"How are we gonna leave without getting caught?"

"Rose, come on. Its me." He grinned. "I have my ways. Plus i really don't attend this school, therefor the rules don't really apply to me." He forced a laugh. I couldn't help but smile. I had to give it to Adrian, he was pretty smart. I liked that about him.

The car ride was boring and fast. We pulled up to a starbucks and Adrian parked the car. We got out. It was nice outside. But i was tired as hell. It was about 11 o'clock. Which was frickin' early for a vampire. The sun had come out and birds were chirping. It was hard to believe about two hours ago it was pouring out, and i was fighting with Dimitri. I hadn't noticed i had been walking with my head down until Adrian started humming. He told me to grab a seat outside and he'd grab me something. I picked a table on the edge by a tree that provided shade. I was studying my hands when i heard Adrian pull out his chair and hand me my coffee. I looked up. That's when i saw her. Just to the right of Adrian's shoulder is where she sat happily, the girl who had been sucking face with Dimitri.
