Chapter 6:

Rose's POV-

"Lissa?" I said astonished. It couldn't be, yet it was. There she was pretty and blond right in front of my eyes. "Oh my God! Lissa!" I screamed and ran to embrace my best friend. What is she doing here? Why is she me roommate? Was I missing something?

"Say hello to you new roomy Rose" smiled Lissa. Was she for real? My new roomy? No way.

"Liss? Are you also going to Berkley?" I asked slightly unsure and scared to hear her answer. How could she be? She would have told me. I mean why else would- Oh God that's why Adrian was here to. He was also enrolled here. Wait who am I kidding Adrian? In College after high school? There was absolutely no way. "Is Adrian… is Adrian also a student?" I asked slowly.

"No silly, do you actually think that boy would go to school after finally getting out?" she said with a laugh. She thought I was being dramatic again. Well that was Lissa for you; sweet and completely unexpected.

"Lissa! We are going to be in College together" I yelped finally getting it. We had dreamed about going away to college together but I could never hope for that to happen. I had never wanted to ask her to move with me, but here she was. In Boston. With me. I was smiling like an idiot. Why wouldn't I be? I was going to school with my best friend and I was guessing that Adrian would be sticking around for a while to. "Adrian" I whispered, I had almost forgotten what a hurry the guy had gotten into when I saw… when I saw him.

"Don't worry Rose, Adrian is also staying. He figured that life in Istanbul would be boring without his little red" she said with a smile. "He just can't get enough of you can he? When are you gonna give the guy a chance? He's practically been in love with you since as far back as I can remember-"

"Lissa, Adrian isn't exactly happy with me right now." I said to her "I'm not exactly sure why, but I know it has something to do with Dimitri" I said gently. Why had I not called him? He could do anything.

"Wait what did you say?" what about Dimitri he's ancient history" she said as if it were of no import. If only she knew that he was here. Probably not so far right now unpacking his clothes and moving into his own dormitory.

"One sec. I need to call Adrian and find out if he is alright" I said searching for my phone. When I found it I dialed Adrian's number and waited for him to pick up the phone.

"Hello? Ivashkov speaking" said Adrian in a voice that did not resemble his.

"Adrian?" I asked uncertainly

"Ah Rose. Wassup? Wanna go get drunk honey?" he asked. Wait what? Had I heard right? Was he drunk?

"Adrian are you drunk?" I asked, now worried about my best friend. Why the hell was he getting himself into these situations?

"Heck yeah I am! Why else come to Americaaaa" he said extending the "a" in America. "Listen sweets if you wanna talk do it fast, I got myself some ladies I wanna impress" he said and before I could answer he hung up.

What was that all about? It reminded me of his usual behavior, but he had been so sweet the last couple of days that I almost forgot who I was talking to. This was typical Adrian behavior. Nothing to worry about, I thought to myself. He probably wouldn't remember half what he did tomorrow. I texted him to tell him to watch the amount he drank. Then shut my phone. I turned my attention to Lissa.

"Well Adrian is being Adrian" I said to Lissa who gave a knowing smile. She knew just as well as anyone the kind of sweetheart Adrian could be, but she also knew that he was a big party boy. "So…" I said "help me move into my new room" I asked her with a huge smile on my face.

After what seemed like hours we finally got our room to look perfect. Lissa's side of the room was all colorful and summary, whereas my side was of greenish blue tones. We made sure that it matched in a cute way and hung up all sorts of pictures and posters. On by bedside table I put a picture of Adrian, Lissa and me. It was a picture of two summers back. We had been on a trip to Disneyland together; of course I hadn't told my parents that Lissa's parents were not going with us. Adrian had on a smug grin, and Lissa and I were smiling widely. We were the perfect trio of course, one that never seemed to have the same taste in anything but butterscotch ice cream. It was our tradition to get some after every hang out, we never got sick of it.

I smiled at all the memories that the picture brought me. I looked around the room; Lissa was now in the shower taking a bath. She was amazing, when it came to make-over's. She had transformed a dull dorm room into what looked like the best penthouse, minus the kitchen and lounge that I had ever seen. She had ordered new bed covers. Mine was green and hers was purple. Is looked awesome and I could not detect a hint of wall, there were so many pictures and posters up. I admired the room some more, then got my clothes placed into my cupboard. I had brought every single piece of clothing that parents had ever disproved of. I grinned at the thought of them seeing me now.

Lissa came out just when I had finished arranging my books into my shelf. She smiled at me and said that she felt tired. I bid her good night I shut the lights on her side of the room, and then made my way to the bathroom. I placed my toiletries there and then took a nice warm shower. I washed my hair and scrubbed every inch of skin. When I was certain that I was perfectly clean I came out of the shower and brushed my teeth. I put on a pair of super short white pair of shorts and a pink tank top and then made my way to the bed. Tomorrow was going to be a big day. I was going to get to know my surroundings and hopefully love every moment of it. I shut the lights and prayed that Berkley would be everything that I had ever hoped and dreamed it would be.

The next day I woke up at six. I looked over to Lissa's bed and she was fast asleep. Figures… I got up and went to the bathroom to clean up. As soon as I was done I took out my black workout shorts, which by the way were tight and showed off my butt, then I put on a white tank top and to complete my morning look I put on a red velvet sweater. While grabbing my ipod I figured I might as well go get some coffee after my run. Making my way through the girls' dorm was easy, there were no girls moving things in or out, it was too early for that. As soon as I got out of the dorm I felt the beautiful fresh air hit me. Wow it was cold, good thing I decided to put on my sweater. I plugged my ipod in and started my run.

The song Go your own way sung by Lea Michelle, but originally sung by Fleetwood Mac, started to play. Great I wish I could change the song but that would ruin my time record. I listened and listened.

Loving you
Isn't the right thing to do
How can I ever change things
That I feel
If I could
Maybe I'd give you my world
How can I
When you won't take it from me
You can go your own way
Go your own way
You an call it
Another lonely day
You can go your own way
Go your own way
Tell me why
Everything turned around
Packing up
Shacking up is all you wanna do
If I could
Baby I'd give you my world
Open up
Everything's waiting for you
You can go your own way
Go your own way
You an call it
Another lonely day
You can go your own way
go your own way

Every word was true. I had despised Dimitri but not because he had hurt me in person. He had hurt me without realizing it. He had ripped my heart out of my chest ignorantly. I couldn't possibly be mad at him; he didn't know that he had hurt me. I had to keep up a good front if I ever bumped into him. It was the only way. All he remembered when he looked at me was a girl he had known in High school, no one important. Sure I could be angry in my head, but yesterday when I saw him, all my anger evaporated. Just being able to see his face again was good enough for me to forgive him. I mean I know that it was silly for me to even have been angry with him, but I wasn't about to let high school rule over my life in college. The point of college was to experiment, so I would experiment being neutral and unchanged by his presence. I continued to run at a steady place and then suddenly found myself flat on the floor. What the hell had happened?

I looked up to find Dimitri's face saying things but I couldn't hear him. Oh my ipod. I took my earplugs out and looked at him in confusion.

"Rose I'm so sorry I didn't see you there. Are you alright?" I heard him say. Of course he hadn't seen me. He was way taller than me, and well let's face it he probably didn't waste his time looking at his gorgeous feet while running.

"No… no its fine" I said trying to shake the initial shock of having been thrown over by a guy twice my size. "Stuff like that happens" I said with a radiant smile.

"I never expected you to be a runner" he said to me in slight surprise. "I mean you always used to complain about P.E." he remembered.

"Yeah no I know, but I like to run" I said trying to get the words out of my mouth. "It helps me think a little and it keeps me trained" I said

"Trained? What for?" he said with a beautiful accent of his. How could one guy have so much accent in him? It was crazy.

"Oh not for anything special, I just like to keep fit" I said "listen I should get going, I need to get coffee and then go back to the dorm, Lissa will be wondering where I am" I said in a rush trying to get away from him. I didn't need to hate him, but I also didn't need to be around him all the time either.

"Oh cool, I was going to get coffee to, I know this really nice place not too far from here, I'll take you, my treat" he smiled "for knocking you over" he laughed and then helped me get to my feet. Why had I been on the floor all this time? Was I so shocked that I couldn't move when I was around him? Get over it Rose he is just another distraction from what is truly important; my music, that's what's important, focus on that.

We walked to a small coffee shop located in the corner of an alley, to be completely honest I didn't like the scene, but Dimitri was with me, so no guy would approach me, unless they had a death wish. When we got into the coffee shop I realized that it was a very cozy and nice place. He ordered us to frapuccinos and led the way to an empty table.

"So Rose, how have you been" he asked looking genuinely interested. "I mean you've come far, making it into Berkley and having taken the courage to talk to you parents all in one" he said making it seem like I had just ran a marathon. Truth was he didn't know that I had had to blackmail my dad into letting me come here, yet the blackmail had served me no happiness except for that of a few years. I was thankful for what I could get but I wasn't comfortable yet with the idea of that stupid arranged marriage.

"Yeah I'm really happy to finally have what I've always wanted"

"Open mic everybody, any volunteers? Anybody?" asked the head of the coffee. Just then I noticed a small stage with a guitar sitting on the edge of it. I had a sudden urge to go up there and perform but something was stopping me. Oh wait a second, Dimitri was here. No way was I going to go up there if he was there-

"Rose would like to give it a go" I heard Dimitri say. Wait what? No I was not going to go up there. I wasn't going to embarrass myself in front of strangers.

Before I could object the head was dragging me to the stage where the guitar was lying. She pushed me onto the stage and the next thing I knew, I was in front of a full coffee shop. They were expecting me to perform, oh shit, what am I going to do?

So what did you guys thing?

I hope you guys liked it :D
