Sorry I got the chapter mixed up.
At the end of my last class, Jesse Zeklos came over to Dimitri, Lissa, Christian and I who were standing together talking about my birthday tomorrow. "Hey Rose," he said with a smug smile on his face. Dimitri started to walk towards him but I put my arm up to stop him. He just stood there extremely tense.
I glared at Jesse. "What do you want?" I snarled at him. "I was just wondering if you're in a relationship with your mentor over there," he said nodding in Dimitri's direction. I wanted to start cracking up. "Did you not see that kiss at the beginning of class?" I asked with sarcasm dripping from my voice.
"Just confirming," he said and quickly walked away. I pursed my lips wondering what that was about. I turned toward Dimitri, Lissa, and Christian who all also looked confused. I just shrugged it off not really caring at the moment. I was getting excited for my birthday. I put one arm around Dimitri's waist and leaned into him. He, in return, wrapped his arm around my waist.
Lissa started talking about tomorrow again. "Okay, so we're leaving at 6 PM and we have reservations at this Italian place for 6:45. We'll meet at the gates at 5:45. Got it Rose? You can't be late," Lissa said while staring directly at me. I nodded my head. "I don't believe you Rose. Dimitri can you make sure she gets there?" she said while turning to Dimitri. I was about to interrupt when Dimitri said, "I will drag her down there if I have to Pri-, Lissa," he said correcting himself. He still wasn't used to calling her with such and informal name but she preferred it.
She just thanked him while giving me a powerful 'I won' look. I stuck my tongue out at her which she did in return. We exchanged funny faces for about 30 seconds and then we just started cracking up.
We started walking out of the classroom. Dimitri turned me around to face him. "I have to go do my shift. I'll see you at practice after dinner," he told me. I gave him a sad smile. "Only 2 hours," I said leaning my head onto his chest. He took a deep breath in taking in my scent. He pulled back a bit so that he could kiss me. He broke away way too soon.
"I love you," I told him resting my forehead on his shoulder. "I love you too," he replied while pulling his hand through my hair. After a couple seconds he pulled away and started walking towards that guardian building. I watched him for a couple seconds.
I finally turned back to Lissa and Christian. Christian was pretending to gag and Lissa just looked happy that I was happy. I went over to her and gave her a hug. "You really love him," she whispered in my ear. I nodded. "Yeah, I do," I whispered back. We pulled back and smiled at each other.
Christian cleared his throat. "Are you done yet with your little best friend moment?" he asked us. I just turned and glared at him. He started to back away scared. I fell onto the ground laughing. Behind me I could hear Lissa laughing too.
Christian started laughing and pretending he was actually scared. I gave him a smug look and it was his turn to glare at me. "Come on Liss. Let's go to my room to pick out my clothes for tomorrow.
I chose a purple dress. It was semi-form fitting. It had pleats going down the chest. Lissa chose a black, loose dress. It had an empire waist with a belt. Both of our dresses had a strap that went around the neck. We both were wearing simple black heels.
It took us half an hour to pick those out. I grabbed clothes for practice and then we went to dinner. When we got there Christian and Eddie were already there. I smiled when I saw Eddie. After I put my food on the table I gave him a hug.
I got settled at the table and then looked around the cafeteria. Almost everyone was staring at me. I got really angry and just started glaring at whoever I could make eye contact with. They turned around once they saw me.
"Rose what's wrong?" Eddie asked me, concerned. "Nothing," I growled. That was when Lissa noticed everyone staring. I was so angry. Why couldn't they just get over it? I would have started screaming at everyone if Eddie, Lissa, and Christian hadn't dragged me away. I didn't really fight them because I wanted out of there.
"They're just being stupid," Eddie said trying to calm me down. "Yeah, they'll get over it in a couple of days," Christian said. He could be nice when he wanted to be. I walked over to tree and slid down to sit with my back up against it. Lissa and Christian also sat down. Eddie was going to go get the food so we could have a picnic.
I just sat there practically steaming. People should really just mind their own business. I mean I guess I knew this was going to happen but I was hoping it wouldn't. I never really prepared myself for it because I thought that it was never going to happen.
Lissa and Christian just sat there silently letting me calm myself down. By the time Eddie came back with the food I was almost back to normal. "Liss, did you tell Eddie when to be at the gates for dinner?" I asked her. She shook her head.
I relayed the conversation I had with Lissa over to him, excluding the part about me getting there on time. I looked at my phone to check the time. I had half an hour left until practice with Dimitri. I think I might be on time for once.
After another 15 minutes of sitting and talking with Lissa, Eddie and Christian I got up to start walking to the gym. "Are you sure you're okay Rose?" Lissa asked me, always concerned. I gave her a smile. "I sure am Liss," I told her. She smiled back at me in return.
I got to the gym just as Dimitri was walking in. He looked at me surprised that I was here on time, even early. I just stood on my toes waiting for a kiss. "What are you doing Rose?" he asked sounding confused. I could tell he was joking. I put my feet flat and stared at him. I pouted at him and pretending to be upset.
I put fake tears in my eyes and turned away from him. "No Rose, I was just kidding," he tried to explain. I started laughing but it looked like I was sobbing. "Roza," he pleaded, "I was kidding. I'm sorry," he sounded desperate. I turned around and when he saw that I was actually laughing he pursed his lips and glared. It look like he was about to lunge at me.
I darted into the gym to try and get away from him. I only got 10 feet inside before I felt his arms wrap around my waist and stop me from going any further. I started giggling. Dimitri just picked me up and put me over his shoulder. I was still laughing and having some trouble breathing. How would I get him to put me down?
I noticed his jeans were a little loose so I started to tug a little. Almost instantly I was dropped onto the ground. I was able to take most of the impact on my shoulder instead of my head. And it hurt. He was standing over me with a worried expression.
"Roza are you okay? I didn't mean to drop you like that," he told me quickly. I just groaned and nodded. He sat down on the floor and pulled me into his arms. "I'm sorry," he sounded so worried. I just looked into his eyes. "I'm fine Dimitri, stop worrying," I told him to try to calm him down. He just gave me a kiss.
We finally got around to starting practice after making out for 10 minutes. So we ended up starting 5 minutes late even though we were both early.
