Chapter 3:

School dragged on slowly. Fifth period just ended and I was at my locker getting money for lunch when Adrian showed up beside me.

"Hey little Rosie" he says winking at me

I roll my eyes," Hey Adrian." I say simply.

"So did you finally come up with answer? " he asks raising an eyebrow.

"Um, actually no, I was really busy yesterday it completely slipped my mind. Give me another day." I tell him.

"Anything for you" he leans onto the locker next to mine," Actually I was also wondering if you would like to go on a date Friday. I mean homecoming is next week and I can't be deprived of your presence for so long." he says trying to be charming.

Dimitri didn't want me to go to homecoming with him but he said nothing about a date, "Okay." I say

"Good I'll pick you up at eight" he stand up and looks me in the eye. He cups my cheek and starts to lean in, his eyes flicking down to my lips. Wait what is he doing! He's about an inch away from my lips, and all I could think off was...Dimitri.

I turn my face to the side so his kiss lands on my cheek. Adrian pulls back and raises an eyebrow," Soon little Rosie."

ummmmmmmmmmmm no.

He turns around smiling and walks away.

I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding.

"ROSE I SAW THAT!" said a voice from my left. I jumped up and walked back hitting my head on the locker.

"Ahh, shit! What the hell!" I yell rubbing my head.

Lissa runs in front of me smiling and jumping up and down," He's so into you!"

I scowl," Well he tried to kiss me so I guess so."

I turn back to my locker and pull out three dollars for lunch.

"Yeah and you rejected that kiss! What the hell why'd you turn your face." she asks

I freeze, I know I didn't let him kiss me and that wasn't what caught me off guard. What caught me off guard was the fact that I though of Dimitri when Adrian was about to kiss me. Why?

"Um I really don't know." I whisper still confused.

"Uh, well it's done now you'll get that kiss Friday and hopefully more" Lissa winks at me. She then loops her arm with mine and leads me to the lunchroom. Dimitri was sitting with Christian. He looked up at me and smiled and I don't know why but I blushed and looked away.

Lissa waves at Christian and blows a kiss at him. I roll my eyes and walk to the line for food. I grab a tray and walk down the line.I grab a plate with two pizza, some chips, a chocolate chip cookie, and soda. I pay for my lunch and wait for Lissa and then we walk to the table.

We were about a foot away from the table where Dimitri and Christian where when Lissa ran to them and said,"Adrian tried to kiss Rose!"

For what reason she told them I have no idea. I glared at her but she just ignored it and sat down.

"Babe, I really didn't want to know that." Christian said.

I sat down and looked up at Dimitri who was staring back at me eyes full of anger. His hand which was grabbing his drink visible tightened into a fist.

" I didn't let him kiss me." I said abruptly. I don't know why but I don't want Dimitri to think I let him kiss me.

Dimitri nods and goes back to eating. I start eating my food. We all start talking about school and homecoming.

"So is Adrian taking you to homecoming?" I look up at Lissa.

"I told him to give me another day to think." I say and go back to eating.

"Come on Rose he really likes you just go to homecoming with him!" Lissa says

I shrug not knowing what to say and trying to end the conversation.

Lissa huffs and turns to Dimitri,"How about you?"

"What about me?" he asks confused.

"Who are you taking?" she asks

"Umm no one." he shrugs

"You know there's a lot of girls that would die to go with you! Like Avery or Camille even my cousin, Natalie, would love to go with you."

I was eating my chips when Lissa said this, the thought of Dimitri going with anyone of them, dancing with them, kissing... it made me sick to my stomach. I tightened my grip on one of the chips and it crumbled in my hand.

Everyone turned to looks at me,"Uhhh, um, it was really thin.." Damn was that a lame ass excuse.

But it seemed to convince everyone except Dimitri. He continued to study me.

"So are you going to take one of them?" she asks.

He finally takes his eyes off me and turns to Lissa," Yeah, why not."

I stood up abruptly and pushed my chair back more than what was necessary to get out. This caught the attention of half the cafeteria. I grabbed my tray and walked out. I threw my tray down on top of the garbage can and walked out of the cafeteria.

I speed walked to my locker and leaned my back against it. I was the only one in the halls. Everyone is either in class or at lunch. I take a deep breath. What's wrong with me! Why am I so angry!

I turn around and punch my locker. I bend over cradling my hand. Fuck that hurt more than I thought it would.

"Rose?" I look up and see Dimitri standing in the middle of the hall. His eyes go down to my cradled hand and he immediately rushes to my side.

"Shit Rose what did you do?" he asks

"Um, I uh, accidentally slammed my hand in the locker." I say lamely.

He raises an eyebrow but doesn't say anything. He inspects my hand and says," Well you didn't break anything you just hit it pretty hard."

"Okay." I say the bell rings and the halls start filling with students. I turn around and open my locker to get stuff for the last two classes of the day.

"Rose, why'd you run out of the cafeteria?" Dimitri asks.

"Um, I needed to use the bathroom." I reply.

"No you looked angry." he says.

The second bell rang notifying that there was only two minutes left till class.

"Look Dimitri I have to go to French class." I say. I shut my locker and turn around to go to class.

"Wait." He grabs my arm and I feel electricity shoot through my entire body. I snatch my arm away and stumble back. Judging by his face he felt it too. I don't know how long we stood there but by the time we looked away the last bell rang.

"Shit! I got to go!" I say and run to class not looking back.

The last two hours of that day were filled with thoughts of what was happening with me and Dimitri. Lissa noticed that I was distracted but didn't say anything. When the last bell rang I went back to my locker and pulled out my messenger bag. We didn't have school tomorrow or Friday it was a teacher work day. So I just stuffed my blazer into my messenger bag.

I rolled up the sleeves of my shirt and then closed my locker. I didn't see Dimitri by his locker so I went ahead to pick up the kids. Lissa decided to walk with me because her little brother, Andre, was in Mia's class.

"We should go shopping tomorrow! Do you have anything to wear for Friday?" she asks

"I was planning on wearing some jeans-" she cut me off.

"Jeans! No way anyways we have to buy our homecoming dresses!"

I huffed," Well I have some money saved from babysitting so-"

"Good," she cuts me off again," We'll go shopping tomorrow morning!"

"Okay Lissa." I say

"By the way, Andre asked my parents this morning if Mason and Mia can hang out afterschool is it okay if I just take them home with me."

"Yeah! That be great!" she smiles and we pick everyone up eventually we run into Dimitri and Christian. Christian, Lissa, Andre, Mason, and Mia end up going one way and Dimitri Eddie, and me end up going home.

Our walk was pretty quite.

"So Eddie what are you doing today?" I ask.

He doesn't answer,"Eddie?" I ask again I study closely and see he had earphones in. I pull them out.

"What the hell was that for!" Eddie yells.

"Jesus chill!" I say.

"Rose wanted to know what you were going to do today." Dimitri says

"I'm going over to Jesse's house." he says and the goes back to ignoring us.

"Well I guess it's just you and me comrade!" I say playfully elbowing him. He just smiles.

When we get home Eddie changes and walks out of the house without a second look at us. I set my messenger bag next to the door and look around.

"Mom!" no answer, "Mom are you home?"

"Rose." I hear Dimitri call from the kitchen, I follow his voice. Dimitri is standing by the kitchen counter holding a note.

I walk beside him and he hands me the note.

I had to go back to work. I've left you some

money to pay off the bills, I'll be home soon.

Love,

Mom

I throw the note back on the counter and grab the envelope. It was filled with about three hundred dollars. I shake my head, "Typical."

I walk out of the kitchen and upstairs. I pull of my uniform and walk to my closet. I pull out a very loose, comfy, casual floral dress. I put it on and check my reflection. I walked out of my room and into the living room. Dimitri is sitting on the floor leaned against the couch with a bunch of papers around him. He changed out of his uniform too and was now wearing a plain white v-neck and some loose jeans.

"What's all this for?" I ask sitting next to him and picking up a paper.College Admittance. My mouth dropped open, "Your applying to college!?" I yell happily.

He nods with a small smile. I throw my arms around his neck and hug him,

"Oh my god! Why didn't you tell me! I'm so proud of you!" I pull back and start looking through the papers.

"Well I wanted to tell you but only if I actually got in."

I snorted, "Please don't pull that shit with my, these people have to be idiots not to accept you!"

He shakes his head laughing, "Well all this paper work is really boring and tireing."

I smirk, "I have an idea!"

"Uh-oh." Dimitri mutters, I roll my eyes and walk up to the radio and turn it to a random station that was playing salsa. I turn back to Dimitri and hold my hand out to him. He just groans and throws his head back on the couch.

"Come on! You said you were bored." I said trying to convince him

"Ugh, fine." he said getting up.

He gets up and stands in front of my lamely. I roll my eyes. I grab one of his hand and put it on my waist, I hold his other hand in mine and then lay my other hand on his shoulder. I start leading him showing him the ropes, and he wasn't even half bad.

He stepped on my toes sometimes but we just both ended up laughing because we were both barefoot. Dimitri start getting the hang of it and starts spinning me around.

Eventually we were both sweaty, breathless and laughing, the sun started to go down and the living room was filled with a golden light that reflected in his hair. He is so beautiful.

Without noticing the song changed into something way slower and we slowly swaying to the sound of the music. I circle my arms around his neck. I start studying his face. There were drops of sweat on his forehead and his hair was sticking to it. I thought that he would've pulled away by now but instead he wraps his arms around my waist and starts swaying me from side to side.

He pulls me closer to him and I feel his breath near my ear, His chest rising and falling against my own, are legs slightly brushing against each others. I pull back slightly to see his face. His chocolate-brown eyes were staring straight into mine.

I unconsciously run my fingers against the back of his neck tracing patterns. I suddenly felt something press against my thigh. Eventually I realized what was poking me. I felt something funny in me and I didn't pull away.

Instead I pulled him closer.
