Hey guys, so, new story. I probably shouldn't be writing this, but well. It's that kind of day, I'm in that kind of mood and Rose and I have a story to tell. I think this is 1 most of us or if not most then at least some of us could relate to. Read on and leave your thoughts on the way out, please.

This isn't edited, my darling beta has amazing things happening at the moment and of course, I don't own VA! I hope you enjoy!

I Didn't Know What Love Was, until I Met you.

Chapter 1.

RPOV.

His name was Adrian. With his brown hair that always seemed messy but was purposely styled that way, a pair of emerald green eyes, smooth, pale skin and a smile that could make any woman drop her panties, something I didn't realize until later, he was easily one of the most handsome guys I'd ever known.

We met when I was 5. He was 11. I was in a new place, boarding school and I was terrified. I was an only child, used to being surrounded by my family and, suddenly, they weren't around as much. Instead I had all these new people wanting to dress me and read me bedtime stories.

It was safe to say that, I did not like it. But there wasn't much I could do. At first, I cried a lot. When that didn't work, I pretended to be sick. It worked for a while. And then, I met Adrian. He was older and even as young as I was; I could tell that he was really good-looking. He became one of my best friends. We started spending a lot of time together and suddenly I didn't miss home so much anymore. He was always looking out for me, always keeping me out of trouble. But there was one time he couldn't help me.

Hey, it was not my fault. It was beyond cruel to make 5 year olds spell Vasalissa Dragomir and Rosemarie Hathaway. The fact that I'd known Lissa all my life and that it was only her first day did not help matters. In a fit of rage, I threw my book at the teacher, and called her a factious bastard.

I'd had no clear idea of what that meant, but I knew it was bad. Obviously, the teacher hadn't taken kindly to it. My outburst landed me a spot in the naughty chair.

When the bell rang for recess, I was the first 1 up and out the door before the teacher could stop me. I found Adrian quickly, it wasn't easy to miss that messy head of brown hair, and told him about the teacher. Adrian had simply laughed and told me that that was bad.

Even though I knew Adrian was really handsome and generally a nice guy, he wasn't the one who was the object of my attention. There was another guy, Jesse Zeklos. He was mine and Lissa's age. To me, he was just amazing. He had a pair of blue eyes, blond hair, and a charming smile. Not to mention that he was really cute. I was young and stupid. Adrian was my friend, but after a few years, Jesse became my boyfriend. It didn't matter that I was 8 years old and had no idea what love really was.

For a while, all was well. I'd settled in to my new life at St. Vladimir's. It helped that Lissa, my best friend from back home was there with me. She'd come to the school a few weeks later than I had because she'd been sick. Once she came though, things started looking up. And of course, I had Adrian and Jesse. Also, I saw my family on the weekends. It wasn't until Mia came into the picture did things started changing, and not for the best.

Yes, it's short, I know. How are we feeling? You like it? If not, please tell me to stop. :P So this one is a bit different from my other stories for multiple reasons, 1 being that it's kind of personal and the other being that it's meant to be drabble style. So, much shorter chapters than what you're used to getting from me.

Review lovelies and you wouldn't get sent off to a boarding school ;)

P.S. Please don't ask if this is a Romitri story. :P I won't be answering that question ;) ok, until next time, my darlings.
