Well, here it is! And to clarify some things: First, Dimitri and Tasha are both seniors but Dimitri is one year older because he flunked. Lissa, Christian, Rose, Eddie, and Mason are all Juniors. Second, there have been questions on to why Rose is acting out of character and here is my answer: keep reading and you'll find out why, after you find out you can either hate me or love me for it, which ever you choose. Anyway, Enjoy!

Everything went in slow motion. Rose throwing her body to push Mia to the floor. Lissa screaming. Natasha's shocked. Dimitri looking surprised, and amused. Then the clashing of bodies made everything fast forward. Rose stranded Mia, and her moves lost the grace and thoughtfulness she had had when she confronted Dimitri. Her moves were a series of movements filled with fear, pain, and betrayal.

"Get of me!" Mia was thrashing around, trying to free herself but everyone was still in shock, just looking as Rose scratched Mia on her cheek, stretching to her chin.

"You son of a–" Finally, someone who's arms felt comforting around her waist, lifted Rose but she wasn't done. She freed herself and once again threw Mia towards the ground. Of course, Rose wasn't going to make permanent damage, but looking at her perfect porcelain doll features made her that much angrier. She had just got a good punch in at Mia's nose, hearing a crack, when she was finally removed.

"ROSE! STOP IT! YOU'VE DONE ENOUGH!" Rose realized then that Dimitri had been yelling at her but her rage had made her deaf.

"You aren't going to solve anything by picking a fight. Whatever she's done isn't worth it. Calm down, Roza." Dimitri's voice was laced with an accent she couldn't place but it was soothing, and she finally let herself be lifted of the ground. The cheerleaders lifted Mia up and asked if she was okay which Rose found stupid because they could see the state she was in.

Mia's hair was disheveled, her make up ruined and she had red angry marks on her face, complimented with a crooked nose that was bleeding. Rose couldn't believe she had done that much damage, all she wanted was…okay, that was a lie, and she did want to harm her.

"Rosemarie Hathaway, follow me to my office." Ms. Petrov had finally entered the scene, as composed as ever. She followed her, throwing on last glare at Mia, making the little girl shrink back in fear.

Dimitri watched her move, not knowing why he cared.

"Dimitri," Mia called out, as he was making his way from the crowd. He paused long enough to hear her say, "Nothing good happened to the last person that was nice to her so I advise you to leave her alone." He sneered at her, understanding Rose's loathness towards the small girl.

"That's none of your fucken business." He turned and stalked off.

What the hell are you doing here? Dimitri asked himself for the hundredth time. He was currently standing outside Petrov's office after school, waiting for Rose. Two hours had passed and yet she was still in her office. That made him worry. What did she have to say to her that took her that long? Sure, Rose had taken it too far but…okay, there was no excuse on to why she would do such a thing. Nothing good happened to the last person that was nice to her, Mia's words came back. What had happened back then? Then it dawned on him. Was that the reason she was quick to say a snarky comment whenever anyone got close to her? God, he had to find out now.

The sound of the door opening casted his thoughts away, he looked up. There she was, the brunette goddess that he had met from pure coincidence. She had a blank stare and didn't seem to know where she was going. Dimitri, being Dimitri, he snuck up on her and said in her ear, "There you are." She spun around so fast that his head spun but played it off as cool.

"Oh, its just you." He held his tongue from saying something about him being irresistible. Instead he said, "How'd it go with Petrov?"

She shrugged. "Same old, same old. She gave me a speech, gave me a paper to make my mom sign, et cetera."

"That had taken two hours?"

"Hey, calm it, comrade, would you have rather me come out earlier…to you?" She said it like she was talking about something slimy and gross. Nothing good happened to the last person that was nice to her.

"I, um, no, but I just wanted to know, is that a crime?" Stupid, stupid question.

"I guess not, so I'm in once piece you can leave now." He pretended to think about.

"Nah, I just happen to be going the same way as you." Truth be told, he had no idea where he was walking since most of the time he was on his motorcycle.

"What about your bike?" She asked, walking a little faster.

"I'll get it later, that is, unless you want a ride?"

"Hells to the no. You do realize I have a skirt on, right?" Hell yeah, he had noticed and her flawless tanned legs weren't helping.

"Whatever, your loss." They walked in silence after that until she stopped where he assumed was her house. It was a pretty little two-story house with sky blue windows.

"Well, here I am, thanks for stalking me."

"Any time, Roza." Oops. He had called her Roza, again. She looked like she was going to ask but didn't.

"Later, comrade." Her little nickname for him sent warmth all over his body. He threw one last look ever his shoulder, watching as an older women, about in her late thirties with brown eyes and brown hair that matched Rose's peeking through the window. He could have sworn that he saw a faint smile form on her lips but it must have been a trick of the light.

"Who was that handsome young man, Rose?" Mother was at it again the instant Rose walked into the room.

"Nobody. Just some guy from school." Dammit, Rose realized she had called him "guy" not her usual "dude" that sounded more indifferent.

"Hm, that's an improvement." After that Janine changed the subject to something she knew her daughter would like to hear. "Mason called."

All thoughts of Dimitri that lingered were gone now. "Really? What did he say?"

"He said that he was going to call you when you got back about when he'll come and visit." Rose instantly flipped open her phone and called him. He picked up on the first ring.

"Rose! So you got my message."

"Yup Ma barley told me."

"What took you so long to call back? I called two hours ago! Oh, no. You got in trouble didn't you?"

"Shh! Wait." Rose ran to her room and locked her door to get more privacy. "There, the coast is clear and yes, I did but that bitch deserved it."

"Who was it this time?" That made her angry.

"Shouldn't you know? You know, since she used to go to our school."

"Wait, you don't mean Mia do you?"

"That's exactly who I'm talking about." Silence.

Then, in a whisper, "You know, its about to be a month since…you know." Yeah, she knew all right.

"I know, wait, that's not the reason you're coming to visit is it?" She wasn't mad exactly, she was just curious.

"Um, actually, that's just a bonus point because I really want to see you." There was a different note in his voice, one that Rose had never heard in it.

"You won't have to wait longer. I have many things to tell you and people to present to you," Rose said, thinking of a particular dark character.

"Oh, that's cool. Sorry, the witch, is demanding me do my homework. Talk to you later!"

Rose stay lying down on her bed thinking about how much her life had changed. A week ago she was with Mason and Eddie, now she was alone. How had that happened? How had she moved and entered a new school? Even worse, she was starting to think of Dimitri. How he had acted sarcastically when they first met but yet he was the one who had intervened and helped her out. Maybe there is something else to him, she thought.

Well, there you have it. Are there any Mortal Instrument fans out there? I'm a huge fan and can't wait for the movie to come out on August 21. Anyway, until next time!
