Well this chapter is the longest one so far, and since I'm sick and my birthday is on Friday, I will probably update on Thursday or the weekend. Or earlier if i get lots of reviews. :D

So! Here's chapter 3! Enjoy & review please!

I walked into my second period class, language arts with Mr. Reyes, to find Dimitri sitting down by himself again. I got a weird feeling of Déjà vu. He noticed me walk in and I vaguely heard him mutter under his breath something that sounded like "Not her again." Before I even introduced myself to the teacher, I walked over to Dimitri's desk and waited for him to look at me. When he didn't I just started talking and got to the point, not caring who heard me.

"Um, Dimitri? What is your deal? I don't even know you and your treating me like you hate me. Why are you acting this way?" I said. For the first time yet, he looked up, even though he couldn't seem to look me in the eyes.

"Can you take a hint? Or are you too stupid to realize that I don't want to talk to you. So if you're done here, you can leave thanks." He said, venom dripping off his words. Even though I hardly knew him, his words stung. I felt like I was being punched in the stomach and it hurt, badly. Lissa was in this class and I guess she heard our little conversation because she shot me a sympathetic look. Beside her, Christian was trying to keep his laughter under control and Lissa glared at him before punching him on the arm. Hard, I might add. He winced in pain and that kind of made me laughed and sort of brightened my mood. Sort of.

I didn't want to intrude on their little 'love scene', so without saying a word, I walked toward the back of the room. I saw an empty seat between a cute guy with red hair, blue eyes and freckles and a guy with stylishly messy brown hair. I found myself coming face to face with a pair of gorgeous emerald eyes. His looks didn't come close compared to Dimitri's, but he was hot to say the very least.

"Hey, beautiful. I'm Adrian Ivashkov, pleasure to meet you," he said with a wink, along with a beautiful smile. His eyes looked even greener up close. I quickly glanced at Dimitri to o find him giving Adrian a death glare. There was something in his eyes that I couldn't really pick up on… jealousy? Why should he care, I thought. Does he like me? Stop it Rose! I quickly scolded myself. He has a girlfriend and he already told you to back off.

That made me snap back to reality. I gave Adrian my best man-eater smile. "Rose Hathaway, nice to meet you," I greeted. The red- headed kid quickly turned to face me.

"Adrian are you flirting with another new girl?" the boy said jokingly. "Hey Rose, I'm Mason Ashford," he said with a cheeky, boyish grin. I grinned happily back at him. After glaring at Mason for a good minute, Adrian continued talking.

"Well, anyways Rose. I'm having my famous back to school party this Saturday. You up for it?" Adrian told me flirtatiously, along with another wink. I thought about it, but quickly agreed to it. Why not? Maybe Dimitri will be there and I can see what's up with him. I talked with Adrian and Mason for the rest of the period. They're pretty nice guys, and I think Adrian might have a crush on me. He is definitely an option for me. I planned on sitting with them at lunch, with Lissa too, of course. The bell rang for third period and I said my goodbyes to them before heading off to meet up with Lissa.

I couldn't help notice Dimitri in the hallway staring at me intently, even with the wicked witch of the west clinging close to him, her posse not far behind her. As soon as she saw where his gaze was directed at, and who it was directed at, she pulled him closer to her, if that was even possible. She gave me a small smirk before she pulled him down and kissed him, fierce and hard. I noticed he didn't kiss her back, though, not that I cared anyways. He pushed her away after a few seconds and gave her a look that said 'Wow, really? You're pathetic.' HA! Score one for Hathaway. She looked hurt, but not hurt enough to stop her from glaring at me. He looked at her before seeing who she was staring at so harshly. His brown eyes locked with mine, and I assessed them. Shock and… something else I couldn't pick up was written all over his features. When he caught m looking, he quickly looked down to the floor.

"So you wanna go on Thursday?" Lissa said, interrupting my gaze and thoughts of Dimitri. I had no idea what she was talking about. I guess I zoned out for a little while. I cocked my head to the side and gave her a confused look.

"What's that now Liss?" I asked with a small laugh. She sighed, but a smile played on her lips as well.

"Oh, Rose, what am I going to do with you," she said with a laugh. "I was asking if you wanted to go shopping on Thursday to get dresses for Adrian's party. I saw you talking to him and figured he invited you."

"Oh, yeah. He did invite me. I'd love to go with you Liss," I told her with a small smile. She squealed in delight and told me she'd catch up with me for 4th period. I agreed and walked over to the gym, where 3rd period was just beginning. Although it may not seem like it, I was the type of girl who loved sports and was an excellent runner, being top in class at my old school. I met up with Mason, who introduced me to his friend, Eddie Castile. Like Mason, Eddie was cute, with his sandy-blonde hair and hazel eyes. I became friends with him quickly, and we were all talking about Adrian's party when we were interrupted by Coach Dash.

"Alright everyone," he yelled, louder than necessary. "Five laps around the track!" he finished. Everyone groaned, except me. I enjoyed running, mostly because my long legs made me good at it, and five laps was nothing. I finished first, of course, and the teacher just had to point it out, not that I don't love the attention, but you know what I mean.

"Why can't all of you be like Hathaway here? It's her first day at this high school and she's already handing your bony butts to you!" he screeched. That gave me some interesting looks. Looks of admiration and interest from guys, and glares from their girlfriends. I rolled my eyes and chuckled quietly to myself before walking off the locker room to change.

After I got situated, I was excited, because next period, I had Lissa! I met up with her in the hall and greeted her.

"Hey, Liss! You coming to history with me?" I said happily.

"Sorry Rose, I was just about to text you. I was just in the office because they had to change my schedule from 4th period to 6th if I wanted to get drama classes," she said evenly. Lissa loved drama and has been on the drama team for both her years in high school.

"At least you have Christian in your class! That'll give you guys a chance to get along more!" I could tell she was excited, but also nervous at what would happen. She knew me well. I gave her an evil laugh which she responded with a scared look. I started laughing so hard tears started coming out.

"Don't worry Lissa! I won't do anything to your precious Sparky," I said with an evil grin plastered to my face. We talked for a few more minutes before she told me she had to go and walked off. I could tell she was still nervous about me doing something to her boyfriend. I was still laughing when I walked into 4th period, just to be greeted by Fire boy himself.

"I always knew you were mental, Rose. Laughing at yourself when no one's around just gives me proof to my prediction," said Christian with a smirk.

"If only I could've come up with that one, Pyro. That witty comeback just screams genius!" I congratulated him sarcastically. He gave me a glare as to which I responded with a sickly sweet smile. Christian and I were too busy talking and making fun of each other for me to notice the tall Russian god coming into the class.

"Hey, Dimitri! Over here!" Christian called, giving me an evil smile. Oh, I'm so getting you back for this one Sparky! I thought. Before I could even finish my thought, I looked up to find Dimitri smiling at Christian. Wow, his smile is beautiful. I wish he was smiling at me like that. Snap. Out. Of. It. Rose! You don't like him! He looked at me and briefly nodded before taking the opposite seat beside Christian and going into conversation about Adrian's party with Christian. Oh, so he was going? He was probably taking that scum bag girlfriend of his, Tasha. Christian doesn't like his sister that much either, which is why I had never seen Tasha in my life before today.

The rest of the class went by a blur, Christian talking to me occasionally, but mostly me just sitting down quietly. Lunch came and I sat with all of my friends, and well, some who weren't my friends. I sat in the seat next to Adrian and Lissa, and looked around to see everyone who was sitting at our table. Adrian, Eddie, Mason, Lissa, Christian, and what surprised me most was who else was there. Dimitri, Tasha, Mia and a few more of her snotty friends were all around Dimitri. He looked like he wanted to die, literally. This made me a little happier inside, though I had no idea why. We were all in discussion about Adrian's party, when that skank decided to start the war.

"Adrian, should we be wearing underwear to this party? Because I know some people," she coughed and said, "Rose, thinks that it would be easier to get into guys pants if she didn't wear any. She probably just wants to come naked and take whoever wants her," she said with a smug smile. Everyone sat there with their mouths open, too in shock to speak.

"Excuse me?" I all but yelled to her. Oh it's on now.

"Well I'm just saying, since you're the biggest tramp in this school – "she started but was interrupted by someone, the person I least expected to defend me.

"That's enough Tasha!" Dimitri growled loudly, his accent lacing his words. Tasha looked absolutely shocked and hurt at the harshness in Dimitri's voice towards her. She didn't try arguing with him, she just gave me a glare, as to which I responded with a fake smile. The tension had just risen 100 percent and everyone was still too nervous to speak after what had just went down. We all ate in silence for the rest of lunch. Well, this is going to be an interesting year.


What happens with Dimitri? Will him and Rose become friends? ...Or something more, even? Review please!

Thank you for reading (:
