Summary:

All human. Rose and her 3 friends, Eddie, Mason and Theresa get a job over the christmas holidays in a fancy hotel in Shoal Bay,

NSW, Australia. They are employed along with four senior students, Christian, Lissa, Dimitri and Leticia.

For those who don't know Australia has their summer break over christmas. They all attend highschool which in Australia is from

year 7-12, ages 12-18. The legal drinking age in Australia is 18 so most of the senior students go out to the pub. You also can't

get your license at 16, you have to go through your L's the red P's and green P's. Some of the employees have their red P's. All in

all, this is set in Australia. Everyone is Australian except for Dimitri. Adrian and Mia come into the story in the next few chapters.

This story will have a few relationships:

Christian and Lissa (Already happening)

Rose and Dimitri (will happen)

Mia and Eddie (will happen)

And to clear things up Lissa and Rose aren't friends yet.

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Vampire Academy characers they belong to Richelle Mead, except for Leticia and Theresa. They

are my own creations.

Okay on with the story :)

Chapter 1: Strike the match

"Okay everyone introduce yourselves!" Said our over enthusiastic manager Angus. I honestly didn't know how he wasn't gay but I guess

that's just how it is. We all introduced ourselves. Thank god for the name badges though. I suck at names. There was Lissa the blonde girl,

Christian the guy with amazing blue eyes, Dimitri the tall hot guy with a sexy accent and Leticia a stuck up bitch from first impression. Then

there was Mason, Eddie, Theresa (Resa) and I, Rose Hathaway.

The eight of us were stuck here in Shoal Bay for the duration of the Christmas holidays. We were working in a fancy 5 star hotel right on the

bay. Mason, Eddie, Resa and I all go to school together back down in Sydney. I am the reason they are working here. My mother forced me to

get a job, so she sent me here and I got all my friends a job too. It was going to be an interesting two and a half months.

"Okay girl's rooms are over to the right. Rose you're with Theresa, and Lissa you're with Leticia. Boys your rooms are over to the left, Dimitri

with Eddie, Mason with Christian. Go and make yourselves at home!" With that Angus left us and I slowly walked towards my room.

"Yes! We're sharing!" Resa squealed. I laughed as I entered our room then stopped as I realised that one of the beds was next to the window.

We looked at each other and I screamed a war cry as I bolted and jumped on the bed to claim it was mine.

"Yes! Sorry Resa, you snooze you lose!" She looked at me and said with a pout:

"I don't like windows so you can have that bed Rose."

"We both know that's a lie so you can have first choice of shelves in the bathroom."

"Oh, Oh thank you Rose you're the best!" She ran into the bathroom and squealed in delight.

"I call the top two!"

"You were hardly going to call the bottom two. You're taller than me."

Theresa had been my best friend ever since we were both the new girls at our primary school in year 5. We're now going into year 11 and have

never had a fight. I walked over to the cupboard to investigate the clothing space. My jaw dropped. It was totally not what I was expecting. The

'cupboard' was a huge walk-in wardrobe.

"Resa, come her quick." She ran to my side and peeked in.

"Oh. My. God." We both started squealing and dancing. We were worried that there would be little to no space for all our clothes but this wardrobe

was perfect. It could hold more than enough. I started unpacking and filling the hangers with dresses, skirts, coats and whatever else I could fit. I

then filled the drawers with clothes and the shoe rack with my masses of high heels and sandals.

I added the finishing touches to the closet then started making my bed. We had a four poster double bed each, which they had told me in advance

so I brought a mosquito net and curtains to put on it. I finished my bed then moved on to the bathroom shelves. In the bathroom was also a vanity

where we could put our make up so I put all my make up to one side and left enough room for Resa.

I had finished unpacking so I plugged in my stereo and turned on the radio while reading a magazine. There was a knock on the door.

"Rose can you get the door?" Resa called from the bathroom.

"Yep." I opened the door and slid my elbow up the frame seductively. I had a sexy smile on my face.

"Yeesss?" I saw it was Dimitri so I stopped smiling and dropped my elbow embarrassed. But being clumsy as I am, tripped over my own feet. I quickly

righted myself and blushed profusely. Dimitri smiled.

"Angus told me to give you two your uniforms." He handed me two packages. I wonder where his accent is from.

"Thanks."

"I can see you two have settled in quickly." Dimitri said looking behind me into our room. I turned to see that Resa had moved on from the bathroom

and was now standing on her bed surrounded by clothes, putting up posters. I laughed.

"Yeah it seems that way. What about you and your room buddy?"

"My clothes haven't arrived yet, so I was helping Angus out."

"Oh. Just a question where's your accent from?"

"Russia."

"Really?"

"Yes I lived there my whole life up until last year when I moved to Sydney for the last two years of school."

"So you're in year 12 this year?"

"Yeah."

"Who's at the door Ro.." Resa started talking then stopped as she realised Dimitri was standing behind me.

"Hello Theresa."

"Hi." She said shyly.

"Well I have to go finish handing out the uniforms so I'll see you two around."

"Yeah see you Dimitri."

"Bye." I closed the door and went to examine our uniforms. Because Resa and I were working as receptionists and maids, we were given two different

uniforms. One was a white she with a bow tie, a red blazer and a black high waisted skirt. There was a note that read:

Where your own choice of shoes preferably black or red heels.

The other uniform was a red floor length dress, long sleeved dress with a white collar, white apron and a weird lacy, frilly thing. There was another note

attached that said:

The lacy fabric is for your hair. The following pictures are instructions on putting it in.

Resa and I looked at each other.

"They're not that bad. The red is nice."

"Yeah and they didn't specify how short to wear those receptionist skirts." I said with an evil smile.

"All new employees are to meet Angus in the reception area in 30 minutes. Don't be late." The loudspeaker announced that we were wanted in 30 minutes.

Resa and I went and got changed into our receptionist uniforms. We chose black heels and left to start the beginning of what would become the best

summer of our lives.

Sorry the first chappie isn't that long! The others hopefully will be. Read and review! Tell me what you think! And thanks to all who do. This is my

first fanfic so fingers crossed!
