Hey guys, I've decided to start another story. I'm going to put "This Love" on hold because I can't quite figure out what to write at the moment. I'm thinking that this is the prequel to "This Love".

Chapter 1: New school, new life

It was my first day at my new school. I guess you could say I was really nervous. I didn't know anyone, and it was my senior year. I parked my Civic in the parking lot and accidentally ran into a girl with platinum blond hair and jade green eyes.

"Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry!" She held out her hand and helped me up, "you're new here aren't you?"

"Thanks and how did you know? I'm Rosemarie Hathaway-Mazur, but you can call me Rose."

"It's a pretty small town," She smiled back, "And I'm Vasilisa Dragomir, but you can call me Lissa." She was genuinely nice, I thought to myself, not like the people at my old school.

"Well it's nice to meet you, Lissa" We walked together inside of the school.

"So what class do you have first?" Lissa asked.

"I have History with Mr. Nagy. But I have no clue where that is."

"Oh! I have that class too!" She got all excited and squealy, "YAY! What a coincidence right?"

I laughed about her excitement, "Yes, yes it is." I sat throught Mr. Nagy's class without, successfully, falling asleep. Lissa kept rambling on about something, "Oh and Rose! Meet me at my locker at lunch, I want to introduce you to my friends!"

"Will do Liss!" And I started walking to my next class.

By the time lunch came around, I was pretty exhausted. Two more classes, I thought, just two more. I found Lissa by her locker with a boy who had jet black hair and ice blue eyes.

"Hey Liss." I said as she waved me over to her.

"Hey Rose, this is my boyfriend Christian, Christian this is Rose."

"Nice to meet you." I smiled, but he had a snarky look on his face, "HEY! You're in my chem class, huh?"

"Yep, I thought it was classic how you ticked off Stan your first day in his class." He laughed.

Lissa started cracking up.

"Hey hey, he was being an ass okay? I was just defending my honor." By the time I finished that sentence, we were in the cafeteria.

"Okay, Rose," Lissa said, "More introducing.."

"I'm ready for it!" I laughed and took a seat at the table.

Lissa started going around the table starting with the boy with messy hair and green eyes, "So this is Adrian Ivashkov; Tasha Ozera, Christian's cousin; Eddie Castile, Mason Ashford" He had red hair and a goofy smile, but otherwise he was cute, "Mia Rinaldi," she had blond curls and doll-like eyes, "My sister, Jill" she looked like she was around maybe a freshman or sophomore, "and last but not least, Dimitri Belikov." I was sitting next to him and he was HOT. I could get lost in his eyes, I swear.

"Hi." I squeaked out.

"So where are you from?" Adrian asked.

"I'm from Montana originally; my dad moved his business out here instead because he'd get more clients." My parents and I moved to Coranado for dad's business. It was nothing compared to Montana, considering it was land-locked. But I think I could get used to it here.

"Or maybe Montana was just really boring, and your parents just wanted to live somewhere exciting!" Christian smiled, and then Lissa smacked him on the head, "What?"

I laughed at Christian's remark thinking that it was most likely true. I mean Montana was nice, but there was just nothing to do there. I decided to go grab some lunch really quick and Lissa insisted that Dimitri should come with me. Sneaky girl. We walked there in silence, but it was unusually comfortable, being from someone I met no less than five minutes ago.

"So what's fun things to do around here?" I asked, breaking the silence.

"Well, we live in a beach town." WOAH! He had an accent and I'm thinking it's definitely out of the country, "And downtown in just across the water. So there's really plenty to do here, you just have to look." He gave me a genuine smile.

"Oh, well you should definitely show me around then, because if I went off by myself, I'd end up God-knows-where."

He laughed at my little joke, "You're funny, Roza."

What? I thought. "What's a Roza?" I dumbly asked.

"It's your name in Russian, that's where I'm originally from."

"I see. So that's where your accent comes from…"

"What?" He smiled at me.

"Oh nothing. So when are you going to show me around?" I asked, giving him a cheeky smile.

"We could..." He was thinking, "Friday after school, if you want." Was he blushing?

"Okay, after school, Friday." I smiled. I felt my cheeks get hot when we got back to the table. The rest of lunch was everyone just asking little questions about me.

"Rose, where's your next class?" Dimitri asked.

"It's…" I pulled out my schedule, "Studio Art?"

"Oh hey, you're in my class! I'll walk with you!" He smiled. I saw Lissa eying me, and giving me the strangest looks. I felt myself blushing again, and I could see Dimitri was too.

Tell me what you guys think!
