The day went by quickly and I was in the last period of the day. I hated most of classes, except two. Obviously, I loved history with the Russian God. And the other one was my musical arts class. I loved to sing and play the guitar and my dream was to get a scholorship into Julliard in New York. You had to be pretty damn amazing to get in, and had to have an amazing GPA. I may be the ultimate party animal, but I always had straight A's. Ever since kindergarten. I knew not to mix work and pleasure. The results could cost me everything. I was also on the track team, so that was just more to put into my application. Scholorship applications were due in March so my time to have the perfect application was running low. To apply, you have to have a resume, essay on why you think you belong, full transcript, and a video of you doing your talent. If they liked you, they would call you in for a live audition to study your performance skills. I thought I had a fair chance, and with the help of my teacher Tasha, I knew my audition would be amazing. It also helped that Tasha was Christian's aunt, so I could get lessons outside of school. There weren't too many kids in my class, only me, Lissa, Christian, and a fip ew others. Since Christian had Tasha for an aunt it was no surprise he an amazing pianist. Lissa only took the class because we were in it, although she wasn't bad at singing.
Tasha gave us twenty minutes to prepare something to perform so she could see where our skill was. She saved me for last, which I was grateful for so I had a little more time than the others. I began to play Corey Taylor's "Wicked Game". I've always been a fan of Stone Sour and thought it would be a good song to show my vocal range. For the rest of class she gave me tips on what to do better and I played it at least seven times. She asked me to stay a little after class to work a little more and Lissa and Christian waited for me since they were my ride. When we finished we walked out to the parking lot.
"Rose, you're going to get the scholorship no doubt. You're amazing. They would be crazy not to accept you." Lissa said, eyes shining with excitement.
"Thanks, Liss." I smiled. "I think I've improved a alot since last year. Behind me Christian snorted.
"I've seen better."
"Christian!" Lissa gasped, smacking him upside the head.
"Ow!" he yelled rubbing where she hit him. "What was that for?"
"For saying that to Rose! You know how much this means to her!" Lissa said, pulling away from Christian.
"It's okay Liss. He can't help but be and ass. Without it he's nothing but a pretty face." I said turning to face them.
"Yeah well you don't have a pretty face to back up your bitchiness so where does that leave you?" he said walking ahead of me like he held such power. Big mistake. When heh got right in front of me I stuck my foot under his and he fell flat on his face. I doubled over clutching my stoamch I was laughing so hard.
"Rose! That was uncalled for. Say you're sorry." Lissa scolded, turning her fiery green eyes on me.
"Sorry Sparky. Didn't see you there." I smirked.
"Bitch." he muttered under his breath as Lissa helped him to his feet.
"So how's the grounding coming?" Lissa asked as we pulled out of the parking lot.
"Oh you know, hell." I said. Just as Lissa opened her mouth to reply my phone buzzed. I looked down and saw my mom was calling. I looked at the clock. Oops. School got out half an hour ago. Mom was preobably livid. "Hi mommy. How are you on this lovely day?" I said cheerfully, hoping she woulnd't freak out. Nope. Not gonna happen.
"Rose! School got out half an hour ago! I told you straight there, straight back." she scolded. I could only imagine her pacing from her anger.
"I'm sorry. Tasha asked me to stay after class to work on my audition and some ass tripped Christian so we're running a little late." I said.
"Get home now. We'll talk when you get home" she said quickly and disconnected. Whatever.
"When I got home mom was talking on the phone with someone. When I walked into the room she turned her back, her voive turning into a whisper and hung up quickly. "What was that about?" I asked,cautiously stepping toward her with my arms crossed.
"Nothing." she said a little too quickly.
"Have you talked to dad at all?" I asked quietly. My father, Abe Mazur, was always away on buisness trips. Also the reason we don't share the last name. Mom decided she didn't want me to have the last name of the man whom I don't really know. Can't say I blame her, although it does make me a little sad we don't know each other better. Mom turned her back, suddnely very interested in dusting the coffee table.
"Yes. That was actually him on the phone when you walked in." said casually, acting as if it was nothing. Well, to me it was. I wanted to know my dad more.
"And?" I asked hoping she'd say that he's coming home.
"And he'll be home this weekend. This time for good. A buisness deal went bad and he decided to come home and get to know his daughter." she said with a faint smile on her face, but worry I coudn't place in her eyes. I couldn't help the excited feeling. Dad was going to be home. Mom snapped me out of my thoughts when she said "Now go do your homework. Dinner's in an hour."
"But-" I protested.
"Now." she said sternly, pointing to the stairs.
"Fine. Dang, someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning." I muttered trudging up the stairs to my room. When I got to my room I closed my door and laid on my bed. I thought about me and Lissa's coversation from the other night. Remember what happened last time? How could I forget? I tried to play it off like it was nothing, but it still made me think about who my father really is. His buisness trips have lasted anywhere from six months to years. The longest I've ever spent with him was a month, if that. I loved my dad and wanted to get to know him, but it made me wonder what his "buisness" trips are about. Especially after last time.
Flashback
I was drunk. Way too drunk. I was leaving the bar, my arm in Aaron's, when I heard a familiar voice. I turned around and my eyes widened when I saw who was there. There, in all his fancy glory, was my father, and his two buisness partners Mikhail and Amborse beating the crap out of some guy. "Dad?" I asked, letting go of Aaron's arm and walking over to them. "What are you doing?" All their heads snapped up and Abe quickly walked over to me, shock on his face.
"Rose! There you are! I was looking for you and this pig wouldn't tell me where you were." he said, eyeing the man closely.
"So you beat him up? I didn't think you were that cool." I said.
"Wait, are you drunk?" he hissed. "I came home and your mother didn't know where you were, so I tracked the GPS on your car to find you. And this is what I find?" he said with disgust, looking at my short skirt and high heels. "We're leaving. Now." he said grabbing my arm.
"Wait! Rose!" Aaron called.
"Shut up and walk away before I break your nose." Abe said with complete malice. Aaron's face turned from confusion to terror as he ran away. "I'm disappointed in you Rose."
End Flashback
I was too embarrassed to really think about what happened. But the more I though about it, the more confused I got. Oh well, it was probably nothing. My dad was home, and I could reconnect with him. That's all that mattered.
The next day when I was walking to school (I only lived a few blocks away), I heard a car pull up beside me. I stopped walking and turned and when I saw who was behind the steering wheel, my stomach flipped.
"Rose, it's cold and you're not wearing a jacket. Would you like a ride?" Dimirti asked.
"Uh. Y-yeah." I stuttered. Okay. That was weird. I never stuttered. I got in the car and smiled. "Thanks Comrade."
He sighed. "Am I ever going to get you to stop calling me that?"
I grinned. "Probably not. Unless you piss me off. Then I probably will. People I'm mad at don't get any speacial treatment from me."
He chuckled. "I'll have to keep that in mind." I smiled. I sat back and thought about what it would be like to kiss his perfect lips. The close proximity between us was very distracting. I quickly snapped out of it when I heard what was playing on the radio. My face wrinkled in distaste. Dimitri noticed and laughed.
"What?" he asked with an amused expression on his face.
"Well Dimitri, I have to say your taste in music is pretty shitty."
"Rose." he said sternly. "You shouldn't swear. It's unattractive."
"Oh, so you find me attractive?" I said ignoring the butterflies that sprang into my stomach with sarcasm. I nearly died when he blushed. Oh my lord he was so cute. He cleared his throat and parked the car, and that's when I realized we were already at the school. I felt disappointed the car ride was over. I needed to get a hold of myself. having a crush on your teacher was not okay. I mean, there was no way he could like me back. Right? We both walked into the building and when I saw how early we were, I was surpirsed. Mom was in a mood so I wanted to get out of the house as fast as possible before she found some reason to extend my grounding. "Well, thanks for the ride." I said and began to walk away when he spoke.
"Wait." I turned. "You want to come help me set up for my lesson? Since no one's here anyways." he added quickly.
I grinned. " Sure." we walked in comfortable silence to his classroom, and when we open the door, I shivered.
"Are you cold?" he asked.
"A little." I admitted, wrapping my arms around myself.
"Here." he said taking off his jacket and handing it to me. When our fingers brushed, an electric shock went through our my hand, making me almost drop the jacket. I could tell by the look on his face and how he jerked his hand back he felt it too. We stood there for a few monents looking into each other's eyes when he broke eye contact. "So you want to help me?" he asked, his accent a little thicker than before. We spent the time it took till class started talking about his family and how much of a change it was to move to America. i didn't realize how close we were standing untill the bell broke us out of our little bubble and we sprang apart. I quickly took off his jacket and tried to hand it back, but he wouldn't take it. I looked at him confused.
"Keep it. You'll need it more than I will. It'll be cold today and I'm used to worse than this." he said. I smiled and slipped it back on and went to my seat. For the rest of class I stayed cuddled up in his jacket. When Lissa asked me whose it was I played it off as one of Mason's. Luckily he wasn't there. I would sometimes look up tp see Dimitri already looking at me, a small smile on his face. Once he caught me smelling his jacket, and I turned bright red and looked down at my book. Lord give me strength to make it through this.
So now you know what happened last time. What do you think Abe was really doing there? Do you think it's a little sketchy? Awe, Rose and Dimitri's first cute moment :) what do you think will happen? Review and tell me what you think!
