The next few days weren't as bad as I had imagined. I was still hopeful that Dimitri might grow lonely and come back as soon as possible. My days followed their normal routines but as my trainer was gone Janine Hathaway, a.k.a my mother, took some time out of her busy schedule to teach me some tricks.
As always it was a bit awkward, as our relationship is permanently scarred, but it was slowly getting friendlier. At least we didn't hate each other THAT much anymore. And she really was skilful but not as natural a teacher as Dimka. It was like she was expecting me to know what she was talking about just because I was related to her.
I also spent a lot of my time venting to Lissa. Rumours had spread about the trip to court but thankfully I don't think many people actually knew what was going on. I was used to stares but typically they would be admiring, not scrutinizing. Lissa never judged me, just let me talk.
Through the day I was strong, not thinking about him and putting on my tough mask, but at night I just broke down. I missed him so much but it made me feel weak crying myself to sleep. I didn't want to have to need somebody. I wanted to be independent and strong but when the sun went down I had too much time to think and I burst. I felt like a little baby.
Exactly three weeks after he had left I was in particularly bad mood. Everything seemed to be against me. In the morning I accidentally almost flushed my favourite necklace down the toilet. Then I spilt toothpaste all over my only clean gym top. I decided to bring out my attitude and changed into a REALLY short black dress that seemed to just be clinging on. I put on a leather jacket, studded gloves and massive, sexy, black knee boots. I had to admit I looked really hot.
Being a rebel made me forget about him and I felt the most confident I had been for a long time. The stares I got were not 'What was she doing in court' stares, they were more like 'Holy shit, Rose is f**cking gorgeous' stares. Or from the girls ' She better not steal my boyfriend.' In my head I said to myself " Who's the baby now." And I couldn't help smiling.
At lunch, after a combat session involving a LOT of disapproving stares from mum (she shut up after I 'accidentally' kicked her with my heel), I met up with Lissa. She was sitting with Christian and I made sure I gave him a menacing grin before grabbing some fries. I was starving.
"Lissa, Christian," I said addressing them before squishing in between them. I could tell Christian was getting pissed off. "So Christian, how was cooking?" I said rather loudly. It got a few chuckles from neighbouring tables. I think after what Christian put Dimitri through he deserves some payback. "I hear you're also doing sewing now, Christian. Making clothes for homeless strigoi?" I said again, practically yelling. The whole cafeteria cracked up laughing. "Shut up Rose." He said, putting on a scary face. It didn't frighten me. "Chrissy, I've got to ask you, are the rumours about you and Kirova true. I mean I know you need money, but cleaning her feet, isn't that going a bit far?" Now even the cafeteria ladies were laughing. I even saw people falling off their seats. "SHUT UP, ROSE," He said standing up, his face scarlet. "Or should I say ROZA, Isn't that what Dimitri calls you,"
Now it was my turn to go red. He crossed the line, infact he jumped over the line and then stamped on it, just to piss me off. Then I heard the whispering and saw people looking confused. I knew tomorrow it would be circling the school. I didn't know what to say so I just ran, before anyone could see the tears forming in my eyes.
Once I got to my room, which took a while in my heels and dress, I slammed and locked the door and just lay on my bed, sobbing and feeling sorry for myself. After what felt like an eternity someone knocked on my door. I was expecting Lissa, but surprise surprise, it was Adrian. The first thing he says after barging in and making himself comfortable on MY bed was " Wow, you're a mess, but you still look hot." I smiled and didn't know whether it was an insult or a compliment. I cut right to the chase. "Look if you're here to win me over then I'll save you the grief and tell you I'm not interested." He pretended to look shocked. "How could you assume something like that," He said dramatically pretending to be offended. " I thought you might need a friend." He said, and even though he was really annoying, Adrian could actually be kind of sweet. If I wasn't so in love with Dimitri I might have actually considered dating him. CONSIDERED.
Adrian left after 10 minutes, obviously starting to get sober, and needed to get completely wasted again. I didn't feel like being alone so I went off to find Lissa. It was just at the end of the period, which probably meant she would go to her room and get changed before dinner. Luckily I had the key to her room so I waited for her while sitting comfortably on her bed. Her room hadn't changed in ages and I was thinking about re-decorating plans when I heard footsteps outside the door.
In came Lissa, being carried by Christian. They didn't see me straight away and continued their make-out session. They were just about to start taking off clothes when I coughed. "He hem." Lissa quickly pulled her top down as Christian put her down. The look on their face was hysterical and I would have enjoyed it if I weren't so scarred for life. Christian excused himself and then bolted down the stairs. Lissa looked annoyed.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to see that," I said earnestly. "Some privacy would be nice." She said flatly. Why was she annoyed at me, I didn't do anything to her. She looked down at my now crumpled outfit. "What's that all about," she criticised. I shrugged. "I like it," I stated. "Well I think it makes you look trashy." I was taken aback. Why would she said something like that. "What's your problem?" I asked. She looked astonished. "MY PROBLEM IS THAT YOU HUMILIATED MY BOYFRIEND IN FRONT OF THE WHOLE SCHOOL!" Her words stung. "I wouldn't have done it if he didn't deserve it," She was fuming with anger now. "It's not his fault he wanted to do the right thing. However it's your mistake that you made out with your teacher who's six years older than you!" After years of friendship, she couldn't even pick up that I love Dimitri. Some friend. "FINE," I yelled as I slammed the door on my way out.
Is it ok? REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW and you might get a Dimitri's POV? And maybe a makeout session? PLZ. PS What should happen next? What is Dimitri up to?
