Chapter 4: Lets Go Clubbing!

RPOV

Alberta and I had small talk on the way to school. She was such a nice human, she was such a nice person in general. I asked her if she had ever been married, she said she had. Her husband had died on a plane crash around ten years back. She had a daughter and a son. Her daughter has two little boys and her son is hitting it off as a lawyer and recently was engaged. I could feel the proud and happiness she felt radiating off her body when she spoke of her kids.

"One day you just have to meet them." I shook my head.

"No, if they come to visit, you need all the time you can get."

"No, no. They don't want to hang out with an old woman like me! It would be nice if you'd meet them." I just laughed, not pushing the subject. "And what about you Rose, any lovers?" She giggled.

I just laughed. "Me?! Lovers?! Preposterous. I may be able to get one, but I can't keep 'em." We laughed together until we arrived at the school.

"Rose…" Alberta started. I could tell by the tone of her voice that she was about to give me a serious question, so I tried to prepare myself. "What… Where is your family?"

That one struck me a little hard. I had never met my moroi father. Not that I had seen much of my dhampir mother anyway. I'm sure she was given some sort of message that I had left, but I doubt she cared all that much. It's not like she cared when she did know where I was. She never had asked how I was doing.

She didn't come after Lissa died.

She wasn't there.

I stayed quite. "Alberta…"

"No, Rose. I want to know what happened. I'll always be here for you no matter what. And… I just don't feel comfortable with that weirdo who always pulls you out of class for no apparent reason."

I sighed. "Alberta… It's very complicated matters. And I don't feel this is the most etiquette place to be talking about it. Please drop it, I just can't talk about it yet." I could tell by the look in her eyes she wanted to push it more. Only after a few moments of silence did she sigh and look at me with soft eyes.

"Okay, Rose. I won't push it this time. Please promise you will tell me soon. I just want to help you." I believed her. I just didn't believe myself.

"Okay, I promise." Whether I would be able to fulfill that promise was a whole other story.

Today went well, I had taken my tests and Alberta gave me lunch. I tried to stay as far away from the library as possible. I had even spotted Dimitri a few times in the hall and had to use super human speed to book it to the girls bathroom without being spotted.

"Rose!" I heard from behind me. I turned to see it was the girl I had tutored the other night. Jill… I believe.

"Hi, Jill. How are you?" She gave me a big smile before replying back.

"I'm really good. Thank you so much for helping me with my school work today. Will you be in the library today as well?"

"I'm not sure. I might be leaving early. But if I'm not there by 4 o'clock then don't expect me at all, okay?"

"Sure thing Rose. Also, I was wondering if we could ever talk, about, you know…" She dragged off starring intently on the ground. I smiled at her.

"Of course. We can schedule something if I'm here after school. I have to get going now, so see you later."

She nodded and walked in the other direction. It was nice talking to her. I didn't communicate well with most humans. I didn't do well at getting along with others in general. But Jill seemed nice.

She reminded me of someone…

I shook my head, erasing my thoughts. I didn't want to go through another 'episode' like I did last night.

The day went by almost quickly. I hadn't done anything too reckless, and my head was mostly in the clouds.

And then the day had ended. Mason hadn't come to pick me up all day, which surprised me as well as most of my later period teachers. My next fight wouldn't be until tomorrow night. I literally had a very calm day today, which was really weird for me. And when I thought about it like that, it was really depressing.

So I went to see Dimitri.

He was sitting there just like the day before, just reading his weird western novels and his duster was on his chair. The door squeaked as I walked in and hi looked up.

And he actually smiled! Not a lot of people have such an amazing and sexy smile like he does. Actually, no one does. I'm not girly enough for me to say I could have melted by his smile. C'mon, I'm Rose Hathaway!

"It's nice to see you Rose."

"You too, Comrade. How's the lonely life as a high school librarian working for you?"

"It's not as bad as you think. After all, I'm surrounded by books, what could be better?"

"Being surrounded by vodka."

"Oh Roza, what shall we do with you."

"Roza?"

"Oh.. um.." he said a little surprised. Like he was trying to explain how he might have just used a cuss word to his mother. "It's your name in Russian."

"I like it. But only you can call me that because you're Russian." I said laughing. HE CALLS ME BY RUSSIAN.

No biggie.

"Well this place looks vacant. How late do you stay open anyway?" I asked.

"Whenever I feel like it. Some kids don't get rides home until later so I let them hang out in here. I don't have much to do anyway."

"See what I mean? The lonely life of a school librarian."

"Oh yes, and a college life is much better? All you people do is study and party."

"Hey, at least I get some social time in. Isn't that what everyone does though?"

"The study part can vary."

It was a nice conversation. It was light and didn't consist of much, but hey, I was talking to somebody. I was having unlife-threatening communications with a human being.

I was making progress. At least I hope I was.

I didn't really need to see Alberta today, so I decided to chat with Dimitri a little longer, helped Jill with some homework and then went home.

Since it wasn't such an exciting day, I wanted to do a little celebration for myself. What I was celebrating for… lets just say life. Though that didn't have much to celebrate anyway.

I got into a strapless black mini dress with black stilettos and made my hair amazing. I did a slight smokey eye shadow and some dark lip gloss. I stuffed a stake into dress as well as a knife. You can never be too prepared.

As I left the room, I saw Mason sitting on the couch looking intently at his laptop. "Bye Mason."

"Bye Ro-" he looked up at me and his eyes widened. "Holy fuck you look sexy. Where are you going?"

"I'm gonna go clubbing for just a little bit. Don't forget I have a fight tomorrow night so no Strigoi hunting to late, I need you to be there for this one because I think he might be a dhampir."

He just nodded and couldn't keep from scanning me head to toe. I didn't mind, but I would feel bad if he fell for me. He was Mason after all.

I called up a taxi and asked him to take me to Bloodlust. A new club that was made a few months ago. I haven't been able to go yet and I was really excited to go tonight. I didn't really plan on going to school tomorrow but instead just train most of the day.

And eat a few donuts.

Maybe ten.

Okay maybe fifteen.

How 'bout I stop at twenty…

I think about it tomorrow.

I was easily excepted in to the club. I was Rose Hathaway after all, who wouldn't want a smokin' body like mine in their club?

It was a 18 and over club, so I had to show my ID if I wanted a drink. So I sat at the bar a few moments, and it didn't take long for a man to come up and offer me a drink.

However when I turned around to smile at my drink buyer.

It was DIMITRI!

Hope you guys liked the chapter. I know rose is really ooc but I thought since she didn't grow up the same, she might have random spurts of girliness here and there. Please review!
