Prologue
I was dreaming about the boy in the duster. The badass, sexy, strong boy in the duster. The boy who always makes me hold his hand when we passed drug dealers. The same boy who buys me ice – cream every time I ace a test. Dimitri – the name rolls off my tongue with such ease, it's no wonder I'm hopelessly in love with him. But, unfortunately, that dream had to end.
"Wake up Rosie Posie, it's fieldtrip day!" my best-friend, Lissa, jumped up and down on my bed. Her voice – like chimes in the breeze – rose with every bounce she made. If you haven't guessed already, my name is Rose. Rose Hathaway – Mazur to be exact, and the girl jumping on my bed is Vasisila Dragimor: Lissa for short.
"Okay, I'm up! I'm up!" even with my sudden outburst, Lissa didn't falter with her movements for even a second. With an excited squeal, Liss jumped off my bed, and headed for my small closet.
"I seriously need to buy you more closet space, this just offends me" she called whilst throwing clothes all over my newly cleaned floor.
"Enough! Enough!" I yelled over her ranting. She stopped and faced me, waiting for me to add on to what I was saying. "I can get dressed by myself – thank you very much. Go down stairs, eat, I'll be down in a second" with a huff, she left. Slowly, I got out of my bed, and picked up black jeans, grey v-neck t-shirt and a white jumper. I took off my pyjama shirt, and stared at myself in the mirror. Scars covered my body like a second skin. Some were jagged, but others looked at straight as a ruler. It scared me how many covered my skin - it's why I always tell Liss to go down stairs. She doesn't know what happened, and I plan on keeping it that way. Pulling on my clothes, I head down stairs for another excruciating long day at school.
"Hey, I made you toast with P-B and J, you're favourite" Lissa announced when I stepped into the kitchen. Ever since I can remember, Lissa has always made me breakfast, whether I like it or not. So what, I may have burned down the school kitchen, it doesn't mean it wouldn't happen again.
"Yummy! Perfect way to pass the day with school work and non-sense gossip" My voice was filled with as much sarcasm as I could muster.
"You forgot! We're having the field-trip today. I told you that when I was jumping on your bed" Oh yeah! Totally forgot about that for a second. Wait – Dimitri will be with us YES!
"Come on, Rose. We have to leave if we want to make it on time, for once" Lissa grabbed her bag and slung it over her shoulder with such grace, I was almost jealous. Almost. Smiling, I downed my toast in record time, and walked out the door with Lissa following closely behind me.
Little did I know, today would change our lives forever…
