Disclaimer – I own noting but the plot.
It was around 4am (Vampire time) that Rose made it back to her dorm. She and Dimitri had talked for hours about what they would do about their feelings, after a heated debate they had come to the agreement that they could continue to spend time together as they were unable to deny their feelings, however it must be kept a secret and hidden from everyone. They concluded that once Rose had graduated Dimitri would ask to be reassigned to court as that was where Rose and Lissa would be headed in order to continue with the study of spirit. As Rose unlocked her dorm she felt and sense of unease wash over her, like someone was watching her, casting a look behind and not seeing anyone Rose shook her head slightly thinking she must just be paranoid. She entered her dorm and shut the door behind her, she dumped her gym bag on her desk chair, stripped off and climbed into bed without a second thought. She fell asleep almost the second her head hit the pillow. If only she had spared a glance around her room she would have noticed the anomaly.
The next morning came all too soon. Rose woke to the sound of her alarm, hitting it off she rolled over and stumbled into the bathroom. She brushed her teeth, hair and applied some mascara before leaving the bathroom to get changed into her uniform. Rose felt like today was going to be a good day, she and Dimitri had patched things up and for once Rose was happy with the way her life was going at the minute and although she did have Stan Alto this morning for theory, not even he was going to diminish her mood. Rose picked up her bag and skipped towards the door. It was then she spotted something on her floor picking it up she realised it was an envelope, it had been slipped under her door at some point yesterday, she thought. Deciding she was already going to be late to meet Eddie and Mason for Stan's class, she took the envelope with her thinking she'll read it on the way. Locking her dorm door she made her way towards the senior building, opening the envelope she noticed all that was written on the envelope was her name, Rose, in a neat scrawl across the front. Inside the envelope was a single piece of paper with a few lines written in the same scrawl. After reading the note Rose stopped dead in the corridor it was as if the world was suddenly in slow motion and Rose felt her world crashing down in front of her. There was a familiar sense of dread and panic that filled Rose's body she couldn't shake the feeling that the person behind this note was watching her enjoy her state of panic. Rose began to think how someone could know, why would they say something like this and then began to think who it could be. As all of these thoughts and feelings rushed through her head she was brought out of her thoughts by a hand coming down on her shoulder. Spinning around suddenly Rose found herself staring at the faces of two of her best friends, Eddie and Mason.
"Woah jumpy much?" Eddie exclaimed laughing. Chuckling along with him Mason gave Rose a wide smile and asked "So are you ready for the test today? I heard from Lucas it's actually not that bad which means Mr Alto has been working us up for nothing." Shaking herself out of her thoughts Rose slipped the note into her pocket and smiled coyly at the boys. "Please when have I ever studied for a test, we all know with my baddass skills I could ace anything Stanny Boy throws at me". Mason and Eddie laughed at her comment, she was the only one the ever call Guardian Alto by anything other than his title and oh boy did he hate that. The school bell rang signally it was time to go to class so the three made the way towards the classroom, however Rose couldn't stop thinking about the note that had been sent the her, the words constantly echoing round her head. 'I saw you in the gym the other day. We wouldn't want anyone to stumble across your dirty little secret now would we? You should be more careful who knows what could happen next time".
Rose knew the minute the test had begun she was going to fail she just couldn't take her mind off the note slipping her hand into her pocket she fingered the paper thinking about how someone could have seen her and Dimitri the more Rose thought about it the more Rose began to think that maybe this was a prank someone was playing on her, but how could they write a note so suggestive about what had actually happened. It just didn't make sense. A voice brought her out of her thoughts, it was Stans. "Are you just going to stare at your test Miss Hathaway and continue to waste my time or are you actually going to write something?" It was then Rose realised that she had spent the past 15 minutes staring at nothing just thinking about that note. Rather than fight with him Rose simply picked up her bag brought her test towards to front payed the blank test on his desk and left the room, all silently. Rose walked towards the only place she could think to go right now, the gym.
