Summary: Dimitri and Rose are childhood friends ever since Rose threw a book at their kindergarten teacher for asking Dimitri to spell his full name. As time passed, they changed but still remained best friends. Rose was a total tomboy, she was popular among the boys not because she was pretty but because there was not a single boy who would beat her at a race. Not even Dimitri. They bickered constantly because Dimitri refused to accept defeat. What if Rose starts having feelings when they're in the 10th grade. Will Dimitri ever see Rose the way she wants him to see her or does Dimitri have someone else in mind...

Chapter 1

R POV

"Hey Rose! Look it's a reindeer!" I slowed my pace a bit and I turned to the direction where he was pointing and squinted as the sun hit my eye.

"Where..." I stumbled as I ran and squinted in the direction where he pointed and growled in frustration when I realized that I had been played as Dimitri sped ahead of me and crossed the finish line. He was such a jerk! There was no way I had lost this bet, he was such a CHEATER! UGH!

"I told I was better than you Rose. I want my 15 bucks no earlier than tomorrow." He smiled smugly.

" Shut up Dimitri! You're a jerk, and the only reason you won is because you cheated! You lost the last 10 races we had and we all know that my timing is the best in the school."

"Rose is loser, Rose is a loser" He began in his annoying sing-song voice and I wanted to punch his face.

" Dimitri is a CHEATER, Dimitri is a CHEATER" I attempted to imitate his sing song voice. He was really getting on my nerves. I stormed past him and got to the changing rooms.

Mia, one of my best friends and queen-bee caught sight me and came over. "Uh-Oh. What did he do this time? You seriously look like you could kill someone."

"He bloody cheated! That's what he did! He's going to flaunt his win all around school in front of the stupid bunch of skanks he always hangs around. I have no idea what they see in him." Mia rolled her eyes at my statement.

"Rose he's THE hottest guy in school. Anyone would be willing to trade places with you. He spends half of his time around you when he's not busy being a man-whore. You two fight like a married couple."

"We do not fight like a married couple. And I don't spend so much time around him." Mia gave me the look.

"Rose you didn't come to my sleepover because you were at Dimitri's place playing video games and fell asleep there. You nearly forgot my birthday last year because you went shopping with him because he had a date and needed help and I bet you've made plans to meet up with him later this evening."

I bit my lip as I thought about it. Dimitri and I were really close even if he pissed me off.

"Are you sure you have no feelings for him? I mean you spend way too much time around him and then you claim you hate him. There's a thin line between love and hate."

"Are you crazy Mia? There's NO way I could have feelings for him. He's an irritating man-whore who sleeps with anything with a pair of boobs. I know him too well to fall for him." Did I like Dimitri in that way? I had never seen Dimitri as a guy, I'd always seen him as a best friend or brother.

I changed quickly and left the changing room and made my way to my locker. Dimitri's locker was just opposite mine and I could see him leaning against another girl's locker and sweet-talking her into dating him. I snuck up behind him and eavesdropped on their conversation.

" Here's a unique Rose for a beautiful girl like you. I think you're beautiful and I've never said that to another girl before." I could see the girl blush and believe his bullshit. Liar.

" My parents are away this weekend. Maybe you could come over and we could have some fun..." Stupid skank. She was giving him exactly what he wanted and I suddenly wanted to hit her but I had a better idea.

I hugged Dimitri from behind and reached and kissed his cheek.

" Aww.. baby, thanks for leaving that rose and love letter in my locker. That was so sweet of you." I spoke in the same sickly sweet tone.

The skank glared at me and then slapped Dimitri across the face. "Ugh you bastard! Here's your stupid flower and don't you dare show up at my place."

Once she was out of hearing range I ruffled his hair.

"Aww Dimkaaaa, ruined your plans didn't I? Well that's payback for messing with Rose Hathaway." I sent him a smug smile and skipped off to class but not before hearing his frustrated growl.
