Chapter 1:

"Lissa, I don't know what to do with myself. Its almost the first day of school and I still haven't decided on what to wear. I think we need to go to the mall". I was talking to lissa. That's Vasalisa Dragamir if your not a close companion. She's My best friend. I've known her since the diaper stage. Literally, We were both put on diapers all day until they were hanging so far down it almost touched our knees. Unpleasent right? I know. She's absolutely gorgeous too. 6 foot even, Sandy blonde hair, and doll like ivory skin. Her oval like emerald eyes sparkled all the time. She also had long canine teeth so she looked like a vampire which contrasted with her angel like features. I'm probably the complete opposite of her. 5'7'', Tanned skin, Reddish-Brown hair, and big brown eyes. I was a total snore and she was my pillow. Her family was rich. Not like Bill Gates rich but not like Middle class either. Her family made about 9 hundred grand minimum every year. That's more than the president made. She was so selfless though. Whenever I was in a money jam which was almost all the time she would help me out. It wasn't like I was broke or anything. Its just that I couldn't seem to keep money in my pockets. My family was also on the wealthy side. Probably wealthier than she was since my father was a big shot in the underground business corporation. He kept money in my brothers and mines pockets. Oh yea, My brothers. The twins, Edison Mazur and Joseph Mason Mazur. But we call them Eddie and Mason. Mason as younger than Eddie and was a cutie. Him and Eddie looked alike but Mason had cute red curly hair while Eddie had dark brown silky hair. Eddie was more built than mason but Mason packed a few muscles. Enough to make him think that he can kick my ass but I think my entire family knows that that's so off it was never on. Lissa has a twin brother too, Andre. He looked exactly like lissa except masculine. He was sexy. We've made out a few times. Even tried to have a relationship much to lissa's undesired effects but it didn't work. He was like a brother. That I occasionally made out with. But you would too if you saw how hot he was.

"Rose, Are you there." Lissa snapped me out of my daydream. I did that often. Daydream I mean. It something I couldn't help. Dreaming to me to a world that wasn't the one I was living in. Sex and drugs weren't in my Dads lifestyle and this damn school wasn't in mines. I go to academic boarding school. Yay. I hated living here. But its my last year since it's my senior year. And I'm super excited for all the hot senior parties I was going to be invited to. It would be mind gobbling.

"Yea Lissa, I'm still here. What did you say."

" Tsk, tsk Rosey, You need to start paying attention. I said we should go tomorrow because Aaron and I have plans tonight." I rolled my eyes. Aaron was Lissa's on and off boyfriend. I would mostly say off though. I hated his guts. He was cute but he was a stick in the mud and was always calling Lissa out. and hurting her feelings. He was abusive and conniving. But he swiped Lissa's v-card and she loved him. Stupid jerk. Just wait till he decide that he want to raise a hand at her. He's going to wish her family handled it because the day he raises his hand at Lissa will be the day he loses it. Lissa made me promise not to ever interfere in their relationship because that's just how their relationship worked but if he steps too far all bets are off. Why couldn't she just find a good man. Who was funny and good to her.

" Um, Barf Lissa. I don't want to know what you and Aaron will be doing two days before school starts and he starts verbally abusing you in front of his friends." I said looking down at my newly pedicured French tipped nails. I knew it pissed her off when I brought up their relationship but I couldn't control my word vomit. It just comes out. She was silent for a few second then I heard a sniffle. I must have really pushed because she almost never cries when I bring up the way he treats her. " Liss, Honey. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to bring up your bad relationship but you know how I get. Word Vomit remember?"

" No rose, Your right. I think I'm going to break up with him tonight. I'm sick of the way he treats me and I want my senior year to be stressed free. We don't want a repeat of last year." Last year while I was in Peru with my family. Lissa found out she was pregnant with Aarons baby. I was pissed but I couldn't really do anything since I was so far away from Minnesota. When Aaron found out he went ballistic and told Lissa to get rid of it or he will. Poor little lissa was so terrified she went behind her parents back and "Took care of it" Now she doesn't know if she will ever be able to reproduce which jerk ass Aaron was happy about. I swear I wanted to kick his ass but that's when Lissa made me swear never to lay a finger on his little blonde head.

" It's okay lissa. Look, get off the phone and go take a nap. We know how you get when you think about that." Lissa has been going through a lot of depression lately and that's mostly because of me bringing up her fucking past. I mentally kicked myself for even getting on that sensitive subject.

" Okay Rose, I love you, You know" I laughed.

" Yes Lissa I know, Go to sleep." With that we shared a few extra words then the line went dead. I sighed and laid back on my four poster bed. Tomorrow would come and go. New kids was coming in quickly and I was not looking forward to a new room mate. Especially since the head master suggested that me and Lissa shouldn't be put in a room together... Again. Ever. I closed my eyes and sleep quickly over took me.

" ROSE!" Lissa exclaimed. " This dress would go with you perfectly she said holding up the expensive fabric. It was gorgeous. A red strapless dress with a lace low cut V-neck that stop just 13 under the neck. I would probably be just above the navel on me. But regardless I quickly grabbed the dress and ran to the dressing room. My predictions couldn't be any more wrong. It looked perfect on me. Just a couple inches above the knee and the love cut lace ended about 3 inches under my breast. I went out of the dressing room to show Lissa and her half sister Jill. It was nine at night and we had been in the mall since six this morning. Over twelve hours in the mall and me and Lissa still haven't bought everything we needed for school. I felt bad for little Jill. It was her first time shopping with us so she never knew what to expect. To her shopping was a twenty minute task but when your with Lissa you never had enough. fifteen hours and forty minutes past her usual time and she was about ready to go weak in the knees but Lissa didn't seem to notice.

" Oh Rosey that looks so dashing on you. Jesse would freak when he see you." Jill said. Jesse was my on and off jerk of a boyfriend. But unlike Lissa and Aaron relationship when Jesse tried to stump on me I would stomp on him back. He wasn't going to belittle me in front of anyone. I was quite but when I was pissed, I got loud. Really loud. But regardless of our relationship I blushed. Jesse had been waiting to get in my pants for a while now. But I didn't think he was worthy enough to have my v-card. It's only thing a girl have that's sacred to her. A few hours later we left the mall at 12 because Jill was ready to pass out and we had to get up early for senior orientation.

" Don't forget rosey to wear that Peach colored shirt with the golden buttons and your light high-waisted shorts with your golden spiked tennis shoes." I sighed and rolled my eyes playfully.

" I know Lissa. I picked it out myself MOM." Lissa rolled her eyes and grabbed Jill's hand. Then we went in different directions. Lissa and Jill went straight to the stairs while I went to the elevator. But when I came up to get I was about to close so me and my twenty six bags ran to the elevator. "Wait!" I screamed. A strong hand quickly stopped the elevator. It slowly opened as my jaw slowly dropped and eyes ran slowly up his body. Who the hell was he and why haven't I met him yet.

I blushed when I realized I was just staring at him. " Thank you." I said quietly. I shook my hair in front of my heated cheeks. I heard Mystery Boy chuckle.

" No problem. Do you need help with your bags." How polite.

" No thank you. I'm used to carrying way more than this." He smiled. I almost wet myself just looking at his perfect white teeth.

" Big shopper huh?"

" You have no idea."

" Nah, I can relate. My sister goes shopping at least twice a week because she 'Never haves what she needs' What ever that means." He rolled his eyes. I laughed.

" Maybe she should meet my bestfriend Lissa. She's exactly the same." I liked mystery boy. He was sweet and charming.

"Well, if your friend is as hot as you, maybe I should be the one to meet her." That took me back a bit.

" Excuse me?" He was going to say something but then his phone rang.

" Hello... Yes... No... Listen, Lisa. I just hopped off my plane and I really don't feel like talking about this rigimplicated complicated. Because it is." It was awkward just standing there hearing the one-sided comments on a two-sided call. He was being very rude to that Tash girl though. What happened to the politeness that I just saw no longer than three minutes ago.

" What ever Lisa. Have a nice time without me." Then he hung up the phone. I heard him mumble something incoherent. It sounded like a different language. Maybe Chinese . But he didn't look Chinese, Maybe he speaks Chinese and just know how to use it at the right moments. I don't know. I decided to break the tension.

" So, Trouble in paradise huh? " I laughed awkwardly but Mystery boy didn't seem to find it funny.

" And what would you know about paradise" I got angry.. Who was he to question me about trouble in paradise. As far as I was concered there was never a paradise to begin with.

" Excuse me, You don't know shit about me so I think its best that you shut the hell up."

" look, forget I ever said anything. My apologies."

" For your information Comrade. I know way more about trouble than you so shut the fuck up and press 3." It was at that moment that I realized that we weren't going anywhere.

" I'll press three when I feel like it. You have such a filthy mouth. Does your father know you speak like that to people you dont know?" I wasn't going to go back and forth with this hot as fuck idiot. So I tried to press three myself but his tall frame blocked my small one and I just couldn't seem to get to the button. so I gave up.

" Fine dip shit. Let me off"
