Chapter 1: The New Kid
LPOV
"Hey Rose! Where were you last night? I thought we were supposed to study for today's test?"
"Shoot! Nick asked me to go to the mall with him. I totally forgot! But anyway. We have taken the test 1000 times. We don't need to study for a test we know won't help."
"It may help. And l can see why you forgot. He's cute, funny, and smart."
"Hey! Don't start liking my boyfriend!"
"Now why would I do that?"
"Well, as you said, he's hot, smart, and funny. And you don't have a boyfriend."
"Well…. I actually do, as of last night. When you didn't show, I called Christian and asked him to come over and help me study. We started studying, but then, well, we kissed."
A flash of hurt was in her eyes so fast , I'm not sure I actually saw it.
"Who would've thought? One of the last Dragomirs, my twin, dating our best friend, Christian Ozera, who is also among the last of the Ozeras."
"And at the same time you get a boyfriend to. We really are twins.
"Being twins has nothing to do with it." She looks up and smiles at me. But it's a sad smile. "Guess what? Christian's coming."
"What? He's here?" I ask nervously, fixing my hair and clothes.
"Yes, I'm here. Hey guys."
Wow he looks so hot. I can't believe he's my boyfriend.
You know I can hear your thoughts, right?
Get out of my head, Rose! You know I hate it when you read my thoughts.
Sorry. It's just so entertaining. "So…. I don't want to be a third wheel or anything, so I'm just gonna go meet up with Nick." She turns away and start walking away.
Thanks, Rose!
You're welcome.
RPOV:
WHY? Why Lissa?I mean, the only reason I went out with Nick was to see if Christian would get jealous. Well, now I know he won't. Oh well. Maybe I can try to like Nick. "Oh, hi Nick! Who's class do you have now? Why did I fake liking him?
Mr. Nagy. You?
He looks so happy. Like he's totally in love with me. His aura supports that. Maybe I shouldn't string him along? Ok. I'm gonna break up with him.
" I've got Ms. Carmack. Listen. I've got to be truthful. I only went out with you to get Christian jealous. It didn't work, because now he's dating Lissa. I'm sorry."
He takes a deep breath. "It's ok. I knew something was off last night. I hoped it was just nerves, but I knew it wasn't. Friends?"
"Sure."
"So, you haven't specialized yet?"
"Nope. Neither I or Lissa has yet. Please don't bring it up around either of us. We both don't like to be reminded of the fact that we haven't specialized yet and may never will."
"Ok. I won't. Can I walk you to class? Mine's right down the hall."
"Aren't you already doing that?"
"Yeah. I guess so." He laughs.
I look behind him. "Hey. Who's that kid? The one wearing the duster, walking into Kirova's office?"
"Hmm. Never seen him before. Must be new."
"Yeah. Must be." I state dreamily, absentmindedly, while staring at the new kid. The gorgeous new kid.
Waving his hand in front of my face, he says "Hey. Earth to Rose? Where are you?"
I jerk back to reality. "Huh? Oh. Sorry. What were you saying?"
"I was wondering where you were. You were staring at the new kid."
"Yeah. Um. Ok." Awkward pause. "Hey. Here's my class. Gotta go. Bye."
LPOV: Five minutes earlier
"Look at my sister and her guy." I gush. "They are so cute together."
"Yeah. He deserves such a great girl."
"Oh yeah. You guys are best friends, right?" I ask, only to see the answer displayed in his head before he speaks it.
"Yeah. Have been for a while. Ever since first grade."
"That's great! Now we can double date and it won't be awkward at all!" I squeal. Loudly. Then I notice Rose looking towards Headmaster Kirova's office so I do to. "Christian? Who's that guy walking towards Headmaster Kirova's office? He looks new."
"Probably is. And youll probably meet him in one way or another, either in people's thoughts, or in peson."
"You know I try not to invade other's privacy. The only way I read other's thoughts is if they are shouting in their thoughts, and I can't help but to hear them."
"Why can you twins read minds?"
"We don't know" I sigh. "Lets not talk about that. You know that's a sore topic with me."
"Sorry." He says, and kisses me.
That kiss was so sweet, so nice, so loving, I just melt into it. One thought from him that I catch: why can't we skip class and go on a date?
"You know we can't do that. But I would like to go on a date sometime." He then flushes bright red.
"You've got to teach me how to shield my thoughts."
"Why. There something you don't want me to know?" I tease.
"No. but I would like some thoughts to stay private. If I want to tell you, I will. I don't mean to sound angry, or annoyed, or anything like that, but some things are private."
"Ok. I completely get that. No need to worry. We can practice tonight in the girl's dorms." Then pass several moments of sweet, non-awkward silence. "Darn it. We're here. Why can't the walk be longer?" I ask half-jokingly.
"You know it can't. Besides, I'll see you tonight at, say, six?"
"Kay. See you then." I lean forward and kiss him. Such a great kiss. Oh well. "Bye."
I walk into class and look for Rose. All I see is a bunch of seventh graders. Not a single head that stands out, not even Ms. Carmack's.
Rose?
Yeah?
Where are you?
In class, why?
I can't see you.
What are you talking about? I'm right here in my seat.
Nobody is in your seat, just your books.
No. I'm sitting here. Well, now I'm walking towards you. Now I'm right in front of you, waving my hand in your face.
No, Rose, you aren't.
If you don't believe me, reach out and touch my arm.
Alright. I'm gonna look stupid, but alright. I reach out, expecting to feel nothing but air, but then I meet some resistance. I gasp. Rose? Is that you?
Yes. Now that you know I'm here, can you see me?
Sorry, no. Wait, hold on. "Jill? Can you please come over here?"
"Sure." What does she want? Usually, the princess just sits in her seat and only talks to her sister.
"Yes, Princess? Is there anything you need me to do for you?"
"Lissa. Call me Lissa."
"Sorry, Princess. Oops. Lissa."
"And yes, there is something you can do for me. Just answer me one question. Can you see Rose?"
"Sorry, no. She just walked in, sat down, and disappeared."
"What are you talking about? I'm right here! Jumping up and down right in front of you."
"No, you're not, Rosemarie. Nobody is near the princess."
"My name is Lissa. Not Princess." Then Jill looks to the right in surprise, so I do to.
"Rose!" I say, surprised. I looked just in time to watch her materialize right next to me.
"What?" she demands.
"You-you just materialized. You were invisible!"
"No I wasn't. That is impossible."
"We'll ask Ms. Carmack about it after class." I say soothingly, since Rose looks more than a little freaked.
"Well… I'm gonna go, if that's all?"
"You're fine. Goodbye. And thanks Jill."
"Anytime." She says, before curtseying and walking away.
~^~^~^~^~^~15 minutes through class. RPOV.~^~^~^~^~^~
Right now I'm taking the test on how to determine my element, and all that stuff. But all I'm seeing is blah, blah, blah.
I've taken it so many times, I've memorized it. Lissa is fed up with it to, I can tell, even without the mind or aura reading.
Then the door opens. Everyone looks up to see who it is that's so late.
When I see him, my mind goes blank. I keep staring at him, unable to stop. When he asks Ms. Carmack something, I hear his voice. His velvety, smooth voice.
I would've been content to keep staring, if Lissa hadn't talked to me.
Rose? Hello… Rose? You there? You've been staring at Dimitri since he came in to ask for directions to his class.
Oh. Sorry. He's just so hot. Who is he?
AN: So? How was it? Was it confusing? Do I need less dialogue? Please tell me what you think! Please oh please oh please? And in this story, Jill is not Lissa's sister. If you review, you'll get another chapter sooner!
DISCLAMER: I own nothing except the plot! Please don't hurt me, Ms. Mead!
