George. George. George. Oh no. I don't know what it was, but just the sound of his name made my stomach feel weird. I had never felt like this before, maybe I was getting sick? weird, dhampirs hardly ever get sick. I realised I had been standing there like an idiot just staring, so I quickly shook his hand. "Hi George, nice to meet you..." I said a little too loud as a little awkward moment enveloped us.
"well does the beautiful lady have a name, or will she remain a mystery?" George asked as he kept hold of my hand... WAIT! did he just call me beautiful!? "Riley?" I looked up and saw Nik walking out of his bathroom. Quickly sliding my hand away from George's hand, I reached into my pocket and pulled out Nik's iPod, "You left this in my bag" I said as I threw it over to him.
"Oh thank God, I was about to call the police to file a missing person haha" he laughed at his own joke and seem to finally realise George was here as well, "Oh Rye, this is George, my new roomie, George this is my twin Riley"
"I've already had the pleasure of meeting her" George answered, "Would you like to come in Riley?" he offered.
"Oh thanks, but umm.. my room mate might actually call to file a missing person if she comes out of the shower and realises I'm not there... bye guys" I called out as I half ran back to my dorm.

"Bells, I don't know what happened... It's like butterflies were fluttering... no more like kicking around in my stomach as soon as I saw him, is that weird? he made me feel sick in my stomach?" I was rambling to Bella about George, when she started to giggle, "What's tickled your fancy Bells?"
"nothing's tickled my fancy, it's your fancy that has been tickled! the great Riley has finally, after sixteen years of a non-existent love life, developed a crush!" she squealed as she flopped down onto her piles of pillows. "WHAT!? that's absurd, I don't have time for boys, especially not a Moroi, how can you crush on someone you don't even know!?" I sounded on the edge of hysterics, but Bella was right, I am sixteen and I have never fancied a boy before, so yeah, the thought of having a crush seemed a bit scary, especially after endless night of soothing Bella after a break up. I just had to tell myself to get over him and move on... not that I did have a crush or anything.

I woke up the next day after a wonderful dream about chocolate. Chocolate and George.
I looked across the room to see Bella throwing her clothes everywhere, mumbling to herself, before throwing her hands up in exasperation. "I give up, might as well walk around naked" she grumbled to herself.
"Please don't walk around naked B, or Doctor Olenski will have a full house of love-struck boys suffering a heart attack!" I yawned as I walked over to her and her massive pile of clothes. "Here, wear this" I offered as I pulled out a pair of light blue skinny jeans and a pretty, white flowing singlet. "oooo, pretty! thanks Riley, I swear in another life you were a fashion designer" she sung as she skipped to the bathroom.
I laughed, now facing the dilemma of what I was going to wear. I settled on some dark skinny jeans with a fitting black singlet then threw my coat on. "Hurry up B! what are you doing in there? curing cancer!?" I yelled as I brushed my hair up into a pony tail then pulled on my boots. "Riley, you cannot rush perfection" She answered as she walked out into the room "And this darling... is perfection" she said while strutting around the room. God I was friends with weird people, I laughed as we waltzed down to the cafeteria.

As we walked into the cafeteria I noticed the room was filled with more buzz than usual on a first day back. It was kind of strange... I thought no more of the strange buzz around the cafeteria when the smell of breakfast hit my nose, now I'm not saying this lunch lady made us 5-star food, but when I haven't eaten in like eight hours, dirt started looking good. We lined up and grabbed our food, if you could even call this blob food, then headed over to our normal seat near the windows to sit with the rest of the gang... and George. My stomach twisted, why was George sitting with us? he was so good looking, surely he would of gone for the queen bee, Anne Zeklos, and her entourage... Anne? Anne who had the same brown hair as George... "Hey Riley, tell George about the time I egged Kirova, he doesn't believe me!" called Nik with his mouth full of toast,
"Nik, what has dad told you about talking with your mouth full.. and in front of ladies too!" I complained as I sat down next to Dylan, "Hey, where is Andy?" I asked, looking around,
"I think he went down to the feeders?" Dylan replied, that was strange, Andy never went to the feeders in the morning, and he always went with me. Not that I need a feeder, it's just we always used that time to catch up since we were always busy the rest of the day. I quickly scoffed down my food, then stood up, "I'm going to go find Andy, catch you guys later" I said as I went to walk away,
"Wait Riley, I'll come with you. I'm getting a bit hungry" George called out as he caught up to me.

We walked in silence, though it wasn't really awkward, I was lost in thought and it seemed so was he.
As we turned the corner I almost walked straight into Andy who was just putting away his mobile, "Hey Riley" he greeted as he eyed up George. "Guess who's coming for a visit?" Andy asked as he turned his attention back to me. "Uhh geez I don't know, the Pope?" I asked, he chuckled,
"Nope, your mum and dad have been summoned and my mum and dad thought they might as well make a holiday of it and are coming too." I was shocked, the Pope coming would of been less of a shock.
"What!? why!? when!?" I asked in a rush so it all came out as one word. Andy looked at me incredulously,
"You haven't heard have you?..." he paused seeming a little un-willing to share the information, "Last night, some one reported strange noises off of campus, Kirova went to check by herself, telling Guardian Petrov it was probably some students getting high... and well..." he trailed off, looking down at his feet.
"What Andy? spit it out!" on my right I could see George shuffling his feet as if he knew what Andy was about to say.
"Guardian Petrov went out looking for Kirova this morning when she realised she wasn't back... and well... Kirova's dead Riley."
