Hey guys! If you're new to reading this, never mind this message. If you're coming back to re-read this, listen up! Please, don't skip them. Certain things no longer happen in the next couple chapters and I don't want to confuse you! So.. Sorry for that!
"Hey! Look hes attractive!" I heard my best friend, Lissa Dragomir, yell at me. She finally cracked. Apparently being single and happy was a big no no to this girl. Lissa was happily taken by Christian, AKA Sparky, and seemed to think now she was with someone, I needed one too. This was definitely not the case.
"Liss, seriously. I don't need any guy. I'm perfectly happy." I told her, putting my hand on her arm, trying to calm her down. Knowing that it wasn't just my happiness Lissa wanting, I had to ask her a specific question. There was definitely some sort of secret motive in this.
"You just want to be able to go on double dates don't you?" I accused her. A small blush creeped onto her cheeks. Bingo.
"Not just that!" She defended, "You could use the company. I spend time with Christian and I feel bad. Give someone a chance."
There was this shine of hope in her eyes. I didn't return the hope. Why? I was starting to get sick of this. I could have any guy I wanted if I tried. Looking down at myself, I saw my large boobs and wide waist. A nice figure, a figure I knew caused about half the female population at this school to be jealous of.
"I don't want to date anyone. Besides, I do flings not relationships." Which was true. Why would I want to be tied down with a guy when I can mess around? Though I knew I wanted to give my virginity to someone I actually loved.. which is completely understandable.
Lissa pouted and continued to eat her lunch. I grinned in victory and ate my lunch as well.
"Did you see the new History teacher? Isn't he so hot?" I heard Mia Rinaldi, the school bitch, squeal to her followers. One of those followers in fact was Aaron Lazar. Aaron was Lissa's ex-boyfriend. He was a nice guy, but he was boring. There was no excitement with him. I suppose that matched Mia to a T.
I put my attention on Mia to hear her continuing to talk about this mysterious new history teacher. He must be young.
Our old teacher, Mr Alto, got fired for being caught drunk during school hours. Although, it was technically my fault. We often fought during class, but our argument last history class was by far the worst. Admittedly, I said some things I shouldn't have. Some including his wife cheating on him. But all this pushed him into drinking... and well... the rest you could figure out.
"His name is Mr Belikov. Sexy right?" Mia said.
I rolled my eyes. She would shag anything that moved if she could.
"Ah, Rose Hathaway. For the first time in my life, I'm glad your rebellious attitude exists! it finally did some good to this school." Mia said walking over to me.
I hadn't seen this new teacher for myself, but I agreed. Mr Alto was a terrible teacher and a horrible person. Besides, his wife did actually cheat on him. It was just a cruel act of God making me find her in the act.
"What are you still doing here Mia? You're breathing my air. And I don't like it." I said to her, not bothering to look up at her.
Mia stood there with her mouth open for a second before closing it and leaving with a loud 'hmph'.
I rolled my eyes once again. Stupid girl.
"She's so annoying." I complained. Lissa grinned and nodded in agreement but I could see worry forming in her pale blue eyes.
"What's wrong?"
"I-Well, what if this new teachers really striked? I can't fail this class! I need to go to collage." Lissa said frantically. I almost laughed at her.
"Liss, calm down. We haven't even met him yet. For all you know, he might not care about the class. You could fail and he'd still pass you!" I replied.
Her eyes still showed worry, but my words had calmed her down.
Before we knew it, the bell had gone and we were on our way to European History. I was extremely curious to find out what this new, sexy Mr Belikov looked like. Was he blonde? long hair? short hair? Maybe a moustache..
When I arrived, I opened the door to have Ralf and Jesse push past me, nearly knocking me over.
"Watch it idiot!" I shouted after them. The only problem was that the entire class was silent... and now staring at me. Oops. But in natural Rose style, I said 'What?' and walked over to where Lissa and I sat.
"Are you finished miss...?" The new teacher asked me. I looked up at him and gawked. He was tall, about 6'7, shoulder length hair which was tied back behind his neck, big built and well... attractive. I noticed he was still staring at me, wanting for an answer.
"Rose. Rose Hathaway." I said, flashing him my famous man-eating smile. He nodded and said nothing. My smile slipped off my face as I sat down.
Why was I sad that he didn't notice my smile? or was it sad I actually felt rejected by a man I didn't know?
"Hello Class." He introduced himself. I could hear a slight accent. Russian maybe? "My name is Mr Belikov. I will be your new history teacher."
Hm. Maybe this class wouldn't be so bad. I could stare as much as I wanted to..
"Are you single?" Someone shouted out from the class. Way to be discrete. Rolling my eyes, I turned around to look at the person who asked it. Natalie.. kind of obvious. She was the school slut besides Mia.
Mr Belikov shifted on his feet, clearly feeling awkward. He thought about his answer for a second before nodded to the girl.
Attractive and single. Mia would be happy. I'm pretty sure she's cheated on Aaron about 5 times already.
"How old are you?" I threw out there. Might as well know.
"24, Miss Hathaway." He replied. I nodded and looked away. His gaze made me nervous... weird.
"Now, I'd like to get on with the lesson. I understand you've been learning about World War 1. So please, turn to page 301 in your textbooks and we can begin." Belikov instructed.
...
Finally. The end of the lesson and the end of the day. I was about to run for the door when Belikov called for me.
"I heard about what happened between you and Mr Alto. I do not wish to fight with you, Rose. I am here for your education. And as being in control of that, you are to report here everyday after school for catch-up lessons. You are falling behind in your studies and I am not allowing that to continue." He explained.
I blinked in shock. Evening catch-up? I barely had enough time after school as it was! Now this?
"I can't. Actually, I won't. I don't care about this subject Belikov. If you'd excuse me, I need to be some-" I got cut off by his talking.
"You don't have a choice Rose. If you fail behind in another subject, they are willing to kick you out of this school. And from what I've heard, you don't have anywhere else to go. So please, Do not make this harder then it needs to be."
My mouth was hanging open by what he had said. So the teachers do talk about students! I always knew it...
"What-I-" I was lost for words. I wasn't failing that badly at school...
"So yes, right now, you are here with me until 5pm. Then you may leave and head to dinner." He told me. What. a. dick. I thought he was nice! Never judge a book by its cover I guess.
"Okay then, what's your name?" I asked him. If I was going to spend all this time with him, it seemed reasonable to find out what his name actually was. Saying Mr Belikov all the time could get annoying.
"Mr Belikov." He replied.
"Not that name. Your first name." I felt like facepalming. I knew he was doing this on purpose, but it only made me more curious.
"Dimitri Belikov. But you may only call me by my first name when its only us after school." Dimitri told me. Dimitri... it was kind of hot.
"Aye aye comrade!" I said, giving him a lazy salute. Dimitri gave me a disapproving look and sat down at his desk. I followed him, sitting at the table in front.
"Now, Rose. How much do you know about World War One?" He asked. I held up my thumb and index finger, leaving a small space in between. Dimitri sighed and looked down to the pieces of paper on his desk.
"That much I know. You got an F on your essay. Why don't we start on how the War started. Care to explain to me what happened?"
I thought about the causes and remembered something about someone killing someone else and his wife...
"Someone, no idea who, shot someone important and then chaos started and then bam. World War One." I grinned at my cockiness and leaned back in my chair.
"Christ. You really don't know anything about this class." Dimitri muttered. I grinned vanished and was replaced with a hurt pride.
"I heard that." I said.
"Good."
...
Dinner finally came around and I sat with everyone. That included, Lissa, Christian, Eddie, Mason and shamefully, Adrian.
I looked at Lissa for help but only saw guilt on her face.
"What's going on?" I asked her confusedly. Lissa looked up from her food and looked me in the eyes. Yep, Definitely guilt.
"Rose... they're making you move rooms. Meaning, you're no longer my room mate." She told me. I froze in shock. Lissa and I had been room mates for 5 years. This had to be a mistake.
"Why do I feel like there's more to that?" I didn't want there to be, but I knew there was. Just my luck.
"They moved you right next to the teachers block... so they can keep an eye on you..." Lissa looked really upset over the news. So was I. But if I made a scene out of this, it would make Lissa feel worse.
"H-hey. It's okay. This has to be a mistake. I'll sort it out." I reassured her.
"It's not Rose... I'm sorry!"
This couldn't be happening to me.
Review and tell me what you think! (: Thanks!
