Hey guys! Sorry for the extreme M.I. ! Here's the next chapter! ~Faith


I walked down the stairs to get breakfast before Lissa and I had to leave for school. As I walked into the kitchen the first thing that hit my nose was the amazing smell of fresh coffee. I looked around and say Lissa's mom next to the coffee maker. "Good morning Rose," she said. "Coffee?"

"Please!" I admit it, I am a coffee-holic and proud.

"How do you like it Sweetie?"

"French Vanilla Creamer please." Before I knew it I had a piping-hot mug of coffee in my hand. "Thank you."

"No problem Sweetie," she replied as she made her way out of the kitchen.

I sat myself at the island and began to savior my coffee. It was hot and satisfyingly burned my throat and warmed my belly. The extreme sweetness mixed with the harsh bitterness of the fresh coffee was perfect. I smiled to myself as I took another sip. "I see you found the coffee." I gasped in shock, for the sudden voice startled me. I turned around on the stool I currently occupied. It was Lissa.

"You look nice," I told her. She was wearing a pair of black Mango Distressed Super Slim Jeans with a pink Monsoon Safi top. She also had on pink flats on and was carrying her favorite Madewell Leather rucksack. She was also wearing a gold cross necklace.

"Thanks!" she squealed. "Do you like my new phone case?" she asked holding it up for me to see. It was a pink iPhone 5 case with 'princess' written in black.

"It's very fitting," I replied.

She laughed and said, "Come on lets go to school."


English was English and Art was uneventful. Dimitri sat on the other side of the room from me and Christian, so I couldn't talk to him. The bell rung signaling the end of 2nd period and the start of brunch. Christian and I packed up quickly and exited the room. Christian then proceeded to the cafeteria to meet up with Lissa and the others while I waited for Dimitri. He was out in seconds.

Once he was out of the room, we linked hands and began walking down the hall. "Can we talk," I asked.

"Of course," he replied. "What about?"

"Us."

"...Okay."

"Don't worry it's nothing bad. I was just thinking that yesterday we were so caught up in seeing each other again after so many years that we took things a little fast. I was just wondering if we could like do a total rewind and start slower."

"I think you're right Roza. And I am completely fine with that," he said smiling down at me. I smiled back.

"So I was wondering you maybe wanted to go with me to the football game on Friday. Like a date."

" I would love to Rose."

"Perfect." I was beaming. He chuckled and leaned down to kiss me, but I stopped him with me hand. "Nu-uh Mister. We're talking things slow, remember. That means you can't kiss me until Friday night when you walk me to my door as you drop me off after the game. It'll be like one of those sappy, high school romance movies," I said laughing.

"Dork," he replied.

"But I'm your dork," I said cheekily.

"Yeah I guess you are," he smiled. "Fine. I can't kiss you til then."

"You're the best Comrade!"
