CHAPTER 7
I stood there. Left a little stunned after her mustang roared away. I just stood there. To be honest I must have looked a bit like a lemon, awkward and shell-shocked by the infamous Rosemarie Hathaway, and the worst part… everyone had seen, seen her knock me down, laugh at me. I noticed the side long glances and some just openly staring. Now, a new piece of gossip to be spread around. I was now fresh news. Fresh Meat.
I made my way over to a bench seeming calm and composed, but I my head I was stumbling, replaying the scene in my head in fragments.
A shadow interrupted my thoughts, at first I thought it was Adrian looming over my ready to laugh more at me. Yet, when I glanced up I was blinded by gold.
There she stood just a little in front of me, a look of sympathy and caring on her face, her green eyes searched mine for an opening to speech.
"I'm sorry" that was all. I was a little perplexed by this. She was sorry, why? She hadn't done anything. But she carried on. "I'm Vasilissa Dragonmir, but everyone calls me Lissa." She smiled sweetly.
Then I realised that it was my turn to answer. "Dimitri… err, Belikov."
She took this as the beginning of our friendship. Seating herself next to me she again apologised and after my questioning why explained that her and Rose were once friends, 'really good friends' she stressed, and she feels the need to apologise for her when she's cruel. This added more questions to the pile I already had stacked up, and I saw then that Lissa could be my opportunity for answers.
"But, why?"
"Well" she began, scratching nervously at her skirt hem. "It's a long story" she brushed it off, she was nervous, why?
"Well" I began "I'm sure I can keep up." She laughed at me, slightly mocking her.
"OK"
They had been friends for a long time, as had their families. A very long time. Their whole life. So close, Lissa explained, that they felt they had some sort of special bond. They were like sisters, despite their severe differences. Rose always the loud, sexy and striking one whereas, Lissa quiet, gentle but just as stunning as Rose. They 'balanced each other out' Lissa said.
High School came and still they were inseparable. Even when boys, Lissa giggled, came and still nothing got between them. This is when I learnt that she and Christian had been in a loving relationship for a year and she paused regaining herself. 'He chose her' was all she said on that front.
Then things began to change, Lissa would not tell me what though, only that it was Rose that changed not her, she became cold and intimidating. She started to 'go to the wrong places' and 'do the wrong things' Lissa said, still vague. Rose lost her world. The only people she trusts now are Christian and Tasha - whom I learnt were siblings.
She Paused. For a long time, I was about to offer another conversational topic when she spoke up again. "And now we're not friends" that was it. I knew not to push her; I could sense she was uncomfortable and distressed. But I still knew there was more to the story.
However, many of my questions were still unanswered and Lissa had only skimmed the surface and also added more to the pile.
I gave an understanding smile and she perked up. Happy again. "hey, some of us are going out tonight would you like to come?" I wasn't sure who 'some of us' were so I just nodded and got directions to where.
It was a grill, and apparently 'some of us' go there every Friday. I had now become a part of 'some of us' and now was obliged to go to the grill every Friday.
This could be very interesting.
Reveiws please :)
