Chapter 1

It had been a few weeks after I'd come back from Russia. I think I was finally past Dimitri; I had to move on with my life. That's what he would've wanted. Interrupting my thoughts was Lissa; I could feel her through the bond before she knocked on my door. I opened it before she could knock.

"Hey thanks for coming." I greeted.

Grinning she said, "Like I'd miss this! Rose Hathaway's first date with Adrian Ivashkov!"

"You know it's not that big a deal, I did promise him I'd give him a chance when I came back, that's all it is."

"Yeah right it's a big deal! The whole school's talking about it!"

Striding over to my closet I shot back, "Like the whole school talks about everything. Their just a bunch of annoying gossips, especially Camille!"

Lissa jumped up & joined me, "I wish I was more like you Rose, you don't care what people think about you." She pulled out a dress, "You should wear this by the way." She added.

I took the dress from her, it was the dress Tasha gave me for Christmas, "You want me to wear this?"

"Aww come on it's a hot dress! Now stop asking questions & hurry up & get changed so I can do your hair." Lissa ordered & shoved me into the bathroom before I could protest.

Looking the dress up & down I smiled, last time I wore this was when Lissa dragged me to that fancy dinner party. Adrian was there as well, back when I thought he was a pain in the ass & now I was about to go out on a date with him, funny how times change. Quickly undressing I slipped the dress on; it still clung to my body in all the right places. I went back out to Lissa.

"Alright do my hair." I sighed.

Lissa smiled & made me stand in front of the mirror & started on my hair while I did my makeup. Lissa styled my hair so that half of it was up & pinned at the back, the rest of it was out.

Looking at the time Lissa spoke, "I'd better go now. Damn I wish I could come!"

"Too bad!" I said.

Lissa grinned, "I wish I could see into your head, then I could see." she giggled before she ran out of my room.

I smiled, Lissa had no idea how annoying it was, being woken up in the middle of the night because of her & Christian making out & doing more. Just then there was a knock on my door. Opening it I found Adrian standing there smirking at me. Damn he looked good! He was wearing black pants, with a white shirt & a black jacket over it. He also had his hair in his typical stylish messy way.

"Hello little dhampir" he said.

I rolled my eyes, "Oh great we're back to 'little dhampir' are we?" he hadn't called me that in a while.

"You look hot tonight, giving me all sorts of fantasies." He started.

"Am I really going to have to put up with your sexual jokes all night?"

Smirking again the emerald eyed moroi took my hand, "No, but I've got us a temporarily leave to go to a nice restaurant I know of."

"Well being the Queen's great-nephew has to have its benefits right?" I joked.

Adrian smiled as he took me outside & into a waiting car. After about 15 minutes we reached our destination, in the restaurant we ordered & were waiting for our food, it's funny because to me it felt more as if we were two mates casually at dinner more than it felt like a date.

Back at school the next day I was bombarded with questions from Lissa, "How did it go? Did he kiss you? Where did he take you? Did you enjoy it?"

It kept going on & on till I shut her up, "It was alright, can you shut it now?" Lissa knew she was pushing the line & kept quiet.

Eddie soon joined us, "Hey Rose their starting up the prac again for the last few weeks of school. We're going to be assigned to who we were in the first place."

"Oh that sounds good! So you'll be back with Lissa & I'll be with-" But I cut off before I could finish. I glanced at Lissa, "Sorry." I muttered.

But Lissa seemed oddly content; I couldn't even feel any dark feelings about Christian through the bond.

"Oh don't worry about that Rose!" Lissa spoke, "Christian & I have talked about it & we've decided to end it, & besides…" she continued then stopped when a guy approached our table.

I started at the guy, & I swear I was seeing things!
"I'm dating Aaron again!" Lissa continued brightly as Aaron sat down next to her.

Let me know what you guys think!! I'm open up for criticism, but please bear in mind this is my first fanfiction writing. The reason it's a Christian x Rose story is because I'm quite a fan of this pairing & thought like writing some fanfic of it. If you like it & want to read more I'll start the second chapter just let me know!!
