PLEASE READ: Okay this is going to be a long disclaimer, I was to excited to write down my story thta I forgot a lot of things. One, my microsoft office has a virus so I am writing on notepad, I realize there might be a few spelling mistakes and I'm sorry, I'm trying to get it fixed but I can't figure out how :/ Also I know that in the VA books Rose lived in Montana but this is my story so she lives in a small twon in New Brunswick, Canada which is where I'm from. At first my story might have seemed rude to people who live in small towns and I meant to do that, you'll see Rose's opinion change, I was just trying to see things how she would if she were to move, not ot be offense. I was surprised at how quickly people responded to this story, thanks guys it means alot! So without futher redue...Enjoy! :)
~A Few Weeks Later~
Ok so I realize I might have been just a little melodramtic on my first day of comign to St. Vald's. Some people still call me "new kid", which I promptly put them in their place for, but on the most part everything has gotten a lot better. I tried to use the early time as an excuse to get out of my morning detentions but Lissa so generously offered to come with me in front of Dimitri, I don't know why but she must hate me to stab me in the back like that, actaully we've become best friends but that's aside from the point. Right now I am in my car with Lissa, the reason I need her with me is because I can't drive well in the mornings, I've had three cars already and my parents won't let me drive before ten am, laugh now but I'm being serious. We don't speak because with her heated seats and soft music I usually sleep for the drive, it's only ten minutes but I'll take anything I can get. Lissa uses her extra hour to hang out with Christian, who also comes early, or catch up on homework. They both mock me from the door with their freedom, especially Chirstian, who I now call Christy. My thoughts are starting to get random which is how I fall asleep most nights, images of a ice cream cone and Brad Pitt flash through my mind until Lissa grabs my shoulder, she is starting to get that repeating my name over and over is not going to wake me up, one morning she sat there for a half an hour repeating my name. Unfortunatly Dimitri had been late and was just coming from his car at the same time as Lissa was standing outside my door yelling my name, let's say that with Dimitri waking me up that one time I am more apt to get up to Lissa shaking my shoulder.
"Come on Rose, your gonna' be late. I don't want to piss Mr. Belikov off again," She furiously shakes my shoulder at the thought of pissing Dimitri off again, I laugh. "Rose get up now, or I'll put snow down your back!" I keep my eyes closed until I here her move, she is just bending down to pick up some snow when I grab some off the hood of the car. Before she can turn I hit her square in the back, she screams while I laugh. "ROSE!" I run for the doors but don't make it there in time, she launches the mush ball and hits me right in the shoulder blade. I curse and go for more snow, just as I'm bending down I hear someone clear their throat. I don't need look up to tell who it is the pair of massive brown shoes and the very bottom of a duster jacket kind of give it away, shit.
"Rose I would like to hear your excuse as to why you have a snow ball in your hands, and why your jacket is covered with slush." He asks ending with a pointed look to Lissa, we exchange a glance that means, let me do the talking and go along with whatever I say, this is usally how I get us out of trouble that I usually case. Throwing snowballs is a big rule here, which I find dumb, so even though my and Dimitri have been getting along really well in our detentions he's not going ot let me off with something like this.
"See, I was alseep in the car and when Lissa opened my door to come wake me it scared me so bad I fell out of the car, which got mud on my jacket. We then proceded to take snow to wash off the mud and I was just grabbing more snow to finish cleaning it, I'm pretty sure I got it all but I don't want it to dry there." I tack on a innocent smile at the end, he rolls his eyes but ushers the both of us inside and follows behind us. It's all silent and I think we are out of the storm until I hear Dimitri say.
"So let me guess you fell in the mud too?" Dammit! Instead of making up some bullshit about how I accidentally push her I just laugh, we almost make it to the classroom before he says "Miss Lissa, don't you think you should be going somewhere, Rose has detention." There was this one time Dimitri let Lissa come ot my detention because we had a project to finish, ever since I've been trying to smuggle her in.
"Alright Mr. Belikov, see you later Rose." I liked having Lissa at my detentions but for some reason I felt relief at watching her retreating figure. Why wouldn't I want Lissa here? I push it to the back of my mind and decided to think about it later and set off in a dead sprint for the coffee maker.
"Do you really need caffiene this morning Rose, you look hyped up enough as it is." I heard the casual joking tone enter his voice that only came out around me while we were alone, it made me feel like I was getting past some of the walls he had built up around himself. He's one of the people who are really easy to read, it's creepy how sometimes I know what he plans to say before he says it.
"I always need coffee Comrade, and I need to finish all my math homework before second. We have twenty questions!" I can't believe that bitch gave us so much freaking work! I hate her, little douche bag.
"Wow, how much time did you have to do it?" The sarcasm in his voice is thick, I know what will come next so I answer his question, he's not even really asking he just wants to prove a point. Slightly annoyed I answer his question with as much sarcasm as I can muster at this early hour.
"Two classes." I say with a defiant tone, as if it's not enough time. I'm kind of hoping this will subconsiously get him on my side, hey don't judge I'll try anything to gte out of a "Dimitri lecture", which I seem to be getting every freaking day lately!
"And what number are you on?" Jesus, I knew he would ask that.
"Irrelavent."I smile, I don't really expect him to stop but I'm stalling.
"Answer the question." He jokingly adds the menacing mean teacher tone to his voice, doesn't really phase me anymore, I've heard it too much throughout my life.
"Two." I whisper trying for the scared innocent student act, hoping he'll drop it but knowing he won't.
"And what were you doing with the class time you had." That's just not fair to ask, even though I'm new to this school I'm already known as I talkitive person with a tendency to get into trouble, Dimitri knows this better than anyone.
"Okay what the hell do you think I was doing. I get your point now let me work!" I expect a scolding for swearing but instead he laughs, I'm starting to think he's getting used to my "foul language", or maybe just learnign to tolerate it. I sit down and get my books out, I don't really care if I finish homework but it's almost worth it for the smile Dimitri gives me when he notices I got in the 90's range on something. I remember the day when I got 97% on my science test, I cheated off a girl named Leah beside me but still! Dimitri canceled all the work for my detentions the next day, we talked, listened to music and he even bought a box of timbits, it's one of the best memories I have since moving here.
"Rose snap back." He says laughing while waving his hand in front of my face. I'm sitting at my desk but I didn't realize him pull up a chair and sit down beside me, wow I was really spaced out. I smile and actually try to work for a while, Dimitri sits silently beside me, the quiet is not uncomfortable like it would be with most people and I am actually starting to not hate mornings. with my coffee warming me up I'm in a great mood. I everything stays quiet for about a half hour until Dimitri feels the need ot but into my work.
"That should be negative." He says pointing to my current equation, I don't even see my page. All I can focus on is how his body feels next to mine, he is leaning close to me and our arms are side by side. I start to feel a tingling sensation throughout my body. He notices our position quickly and backs up, I pretend not to notice and cover up my emotions with a sarcastic remark.
"Well maybe I like it better positive, I'm just a happy person." His experssion softens again and our one moment of attraction ends to be replaced with our usual light conversation and banter. Even though on the outside he seems totally unaffected when I go to leave I see a breif glimpse of regret and sadness flash through his eyes, but he blinks and it dissapears, I jokingly call out "Don't miss me too much!" As I walk out the door, he gives me a big smile but I get a weird look from LIssa who is waiting for me outside his door, more students are starting to populate our hallways and I notice a couple of them giving me the same look as Lissa "What?" I ask as we make our way down the hallway, she looks at me with a sarcastic smile and answers.
"Oh nothing Rose, just didn't expect you to be all buddie buddie with Mr. Belikov, that's all." She ends with a questioning side glance towards me, and for the first time I am actaully glad the Christian choses this exact moment to join our conversation, Lissa shots me a look that says this conversation is not over.
"So how's your detentions going?" Christian asks I fake glare at him as I pull my books out of my locker, the happy couple continues on with the small talk but I can't keep up, I'm stuck trying to figure out why I am so affected by Dimitri, I mean we probably could be friends if he weren't my detention gaurd but I don't feel that way when I am with my other friends like Mason or Eddie. I am almost to my seat in first when it hits me, I have a crush on Dimitri Belikov.
Sorry for the super long wait, march break is starting for me and I have been busy beyond belief! Hope everyone enjoys their break from school :)
