OK so guys this idea popped into my head randomly 12:22 A.M in the morning. I am supposed to be asleep but couldn't let this idea pass… =(:
Basically this is Rose's life before the books…
Eternal Love~ Lilbat54
I was with Dimitri, sitting on a couch legs intertwined.
"Roza?" He said my name.
"Yeah?" I looked at him.
"Tell me about when you were younger; you know so much about me yet I know nothing about you." His eyes begged for me to tell him.
"Where should I start?" I asked him.
"How about Kindergarten?" He asked, I just couldn't resist his eyes and I nodded and launched into my first day of kindergarten.
I sighed as Heather brushed my hair. Today was my first day of Kindergarten and she made me wear a dress. I tried to warn her that it was going to be ruined but she wouldn't listen. Heather was my care-taker. She would take care of me until I would start living at the Academy. I hoped to move there as soon as possible, because I don't really like the idea of someone taking care of me, but I doubt I won't be able to move until I'm in Middle School. Heather loves me, and I love her too but I want to be more… Independent.
"Rose, you look wonderful." She smiled tears in her eyes.
"No I don't." I pouted arms crossed over my chest. The dress was hot pink with frills everywhere. My thick brown hair that I worked so hard to grow out was chopped off, back to my chin in pigtails. I scowled at the mirror.
"Well you're not getting out of dressing like this, that's for sure." She smiled evilly and went down stairs.
"Well you're not getting out of dressing like this, that's for sure." I mimicked Heather in a high pitched voice rolling my eyes.
"I heard that!" She called up the stairs.
"Good!" I called back.
"Don't get smart with me! What do you want for breakfast?" She bellowed from the kitchen.
"Pancakes! Duh!" I responded like it was the simplest answer in the world.
"Okay! Be down in 30 minutes! Make sure your bag is packed!" She reminded me. I was hit with a great idea.
"I'm gonna check one more time!" I said sweetly, hoping she wouldn't smell out my plan. I sneaked into my room and grabbed a pair of shorts and a tee shirt. I walked over to my bag, also hot pink., and stuck it in the front pocket. I smiled slyly and creeped down the stairs to watch T.V. I turned it on and groaned out loud. A Western special.
"Ah. So your hatred for Western themes started when you were young." He smiled at me, that rare smile that you have to work so hard to get.
"Oh Comrade, it started the day I came into this world. You know they should have put "Hates -Western" as my middle name on my birth certificate." I made the dash with my finger, and continued back with my story.
I watched in boredom, this and PBS were the only channel Heather let me watch. I still haven't figured out the Parental Control code on the T.V yet, I've gotten it on the computer a couple of times though. So the stupid Parental Controls only gave me two choices. Some strange show I've never heard of and some Western Brawl. I went with the Brawl because it included violence.
"You Facist Bastard! You killed my wife!" I heard one of the cowboys scream and shoot the other one, sadly this is when Heather walked in.
"Hey Rosie, do yo-" She gaped at the T.V. "What in the world are you watching?" She asked hand on her hip.
"The history channel." I tugged on my dress, itching to get out of it.
"Well this is going to have to be blocked." She muttered and I groaned.
"But PBS sucks!" I complained and she raised an eye brow at me.
"Well too bad. I'm not having my girl watching stuff like this." She walked over and turned of the T.V. I took the remote and pressed the button, turning it on again. She pressed the button on the T.V again.
"Rose." She said in a warning tone.
"Heather." I matched her tone.
"Reminds me of how you act with Christian." He chuckled and I glared at him.
"Can I continue?" I asked and he nodded.
"If you press that button one more time, so help me you will never see the night again." She warned with a dead serious face almost beckoning me to try it. I gave in and pressed the button again tongue sticking out of my mouth. Bad move. Heather grabbed the remote from me and took out the batteries, then shut the T.V off.
"C'mon Rose. Breakfast." She said, trying to keep calm.
"Fine." I muttered and got up. I shoveled through my pancakes, coated in syrup quietly. I was trying to keep calm. Calm Rose, stay calm. I thought to myself.
"Time to leave." Heather called from the door. I bolted up the stairs and got my bag, checking to make sure the zippers were zipped and I slid down the railing.
"What did I tell you about doing that." Heather scolded.
"I don't know what you're talking about." I smiled smugly.
"Let's go before I kill you." Heather muttered.
"Okay!" I smiled sweetly and she rolled her eyes. We walked out and got into the black car. We drove easily to the Montana Woods. Then we followed the short path, masked by magic from the humans.
"It smells weird." I complained and Heather laughed.
"You smell weird and I let you stay at my house." She winked and walked me to the gate, where big burly guards let us pass.
"Those guys sure were fat!" I giggled.
"They weren't fat, they were muscular." Heather rolled her eyes and we walked up the long side walk into the school. I was really shocked. Almost every kid was taller than me. A moroi woman walked over and smiled at me.
"Hi! I'm Miss Ross! I teach Kindergarten. You are?" She asked, I just glared at her. For some reason she was pissing me off.
"This is Rose." Heather gave me a warning look and smiled back at the teacher.
"She must be shy!" She smiled and brought out a puppet. A puppet. How old does she think I am?
"I'm not shy. I just don't like you." I said the honest truth and crossed my arms over my chest.
"You were always like this with teachers weren't you?" He asked amusement in his eyes.
"Until I met you? Uhh let me think… Yep!" I smiled cheekily and went on with my story.
The teacher blinked a few times then walked away. I saw Heather sigh and she kissed me on the top of my head and scurried off. I took the piece of paper and walked down into the room called "A5" before I sat down I went into the bathroom and changed. I then sat down at a seat next to a girl with long platinum blonde hair. She was looking around nervously. I saw a kid much taller than me walk over and cast a shadow. I looked up at him.
"Hi. I'm Rose. What do you want?" I introduced myself.
"I'm Mason. You're in my seat." He pointed to the name tag. I looked at it and saw mine was at the table next to the one I was currently sitting at. I ripped it off and walked over. I set it down and ripped the one with my name off of it. I then put my name tag next to the nervous blonde girl and set Masons down where mine used to be.
"I think you're wrong." I said as I crossed my legs on the table. The blonde girl giggled.
"I'm Vasilissa." She smiled at me.
"That's a really long name." I chewed on my lip.
"I know." She sighed. "I wish I could get a nickname for it." I sat there thinking.
"What about Lissa?" I asked and she gaped.
"That's perfect!" She giggled.
"I'm Rose." I smiled, but my smile soon turned into a frown as I saw the teacher walk in.
"Okay class. I'm Miss Ross for those who haven't met me yet! I just want to welcome you all to St. Vladimir's!" She clapped her hands.
"Wooo!" I called out sarcastically.
"What are you about to get yourself into?" Dimitri asked.
"You'll see." I smiled like the Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland.
"Rosemarie. Please be quiet. Now class, there are some books in the back of the class room with all of the Alphabet letters, incase you didn't learn them in Pre-School. Get them and write down your full name." I gaped. My full name had more letters than all of my fingers!
"Can I write Rose?" I asked while grabbing a book.
"No. You're full name. You too Vasilissa Dragamoir. I know you were about to ask if you could shorten it too." Now that pissed me off. I threw the Alphabet book at her and screamed,
"You Facist Bastard!" I was sent to the principals office in a heart beat. The man was in a big spinny chair and I got this little feeble wooden one."
"That's not fair." I crossed my arms over my chest.
"What isn't?" He asked, he had really bushy caterpillar eyebrows, and a deep booming voice.
"That I get this little chair and you get that big one." I pouted.
"Well that's part of the punishment I guess. So do you want to explain to me what happened in there?" He asked.
"I'm not going to talk until I get to sit in the big spinny chair." I made the motion of zipping my lips and crossed my arms across my chest. We sat there for half an hour until the principal finally offered me the chair.
"You want the chair?" He asked and I nodded.
"Yes!" I ran towards it like it was a cookie and sat in it. I looked down at the principal.
"Now will you tell me what happened in there?" He asked and I nodded.
"The crazy teacher wouldn't let me and my friend Lissa shorten our names, she said we had to write them all out and I thought my name was long but Lissa's has twelve letters!" I exclaimed.
"Then explain to me where did you hear that word, please." He asked.
"This morning I was watching the History channel and there was a Western Special and it said it." I smiled.
"Do you know what that word means?" He asked.
"Nope." He sighed and wrote me a pass to go back to class, but stopped me before I left.
"I will be calling Heather, your Guardian." He warned. I smiled and said,
"Cool! Tell her I said hi!"
"Did you have any shame?" He asked and I shrugged.
"Doubt it."
"Will do. You have a nice day Rose." He smiled and I walked down back to class. I had to stay after school, because of the incident with the book. Heather came storming out of the office. Mad because I had one, changed and two because of the book thing.
"Rosemarie no more T.V for a month!" She practically screamed.
"Okay." I shrugged and she groaned and we drove home.
"That was the best memory of kindergarten I have…" I smiled at Dimitri.
"Didn't you get grounded though?" He asked.
"Yeah, but it was the day I met Lissa and Mason!" I smiled.
"True…" He muttered.
"Can I tell you First Grade tomorrow? I'm tired."
"Sure Roza." We got up and walked to bed. I shimmied under the covers and fell asleep before my head even hit the pillow.
