I don't know how long I sat there for, but eventually I decided to head back inside. I stood up and brushed off my dress. I turned around and bumped into someone.
Dimitri.
" hey" he said, the corners of his lips turning up into a shy smile. "there you are"
" here I am" I said glancing at the door. " what? Did you miss me?" I asked him, teasingly. He laughed but didn't answer. I knew he knew something was up, but he probably just thought I was jealous or something.
" what are you doing?" I asked him, wondering why he was outside and not, inside watching over moroi.
" I just have to go pick something up from headmistress, and I wanted to see if you were ok, you looked kind of sad.
" oh" I said, smiling shyly at the thought of him coming over here to see if I was okay. "im fine" I said, but by the look in his eyes he didn't believe it.
" whats wrong?" he asked. He looked concerned, and I felt sad that I couldn't tell him the truth.
" nothing" I said, happily, trying to break the bad mood.
" rosa…" was all he said. " is it Tina? I saw the way she looked at you, she looked mad" he said stepping closer to me.
" yea, well…" I said, stopping not knowing what to say. That's what was annoying with Dimitri. He never butted in or interrupted you, and although its rude to interrupt people, sometimes you need them to.
" don't let Tina bug you, and don't worry, im not giving into her games" he said smiling. I mentally kicked myself for not telling him what she said to me.
" thanks" I mumbled.
" well you should go back inside, enjoy the dance, and I should get back to headmistress office" he said, he gave me a quick peck on the cheek and left.
I felt my face redden as I watched him go. I know it was just a kiss and not even on the lips, but it still made my insides go crazy. I watched him walk off until he was out of site, then turned around and once again, bumped into someone.
Only this time it was Tina.
"what?" I snapped at her, hands on my hips.
" what did I tell you Hathaway! Stay away from him" she said, her face set into a hard angry mask.
" but he came out here" I defended myself. Backing up slowly.
" oh right! I saw him kiss you! And what did you tell him? Giving into my games!" he yelled, I flinched at the sound of her voice. I don't think I'll make a very good guardian , I thought to myself. Flinching again at the sound of her voice.
" you asked for this Rose!" she yelled " like I said! Im goung to make you lide a living hell!" she said. She stepped towards me and pushed me hard, I mean really hard. I felt myself falling backwards.
" bitch" I said loudly. Nobody was around, so I might as well have fun. I scrambled up, and flug my fist forward. Blood flew everywhere, exploding from her nose and all over my hand. She gasped and threw herself at me. She tackled me to the ground and I felt the skin brake on both my arms. I struggles to get out of her iron grasp, but it was no use.
" you little whore" she spat, blood trickling down her face, and onto my dress. I struggled to get up, but she slammed my head into the pavement.
" god, Rose! Who knew you were so violant!" she hissed at me, she stood up and I followed only to be pushed down again.
" you are so going to pay!" she hissed, before running away down the path and quickly out of site.
I sat up, still on the ground, and examined myself. The back of my arms were skinned and bleeding, my face was the back of my head was hurting bad, I reached back and touched it. My hand felt wet and stickly, I pulled it back and it was covered with blood. I blinked back tears, I quickly stood up holding my hand to my head, it was bleeding at a fast rate, I hurried out of site. I didn't want anyone to see me like this. My dress was dribbled with blood and ripped at the bottom. I was just around the side of the ballroom when I heard it. There were people running . I glanced back, still hidden in the shadows, to see a buch of guardians running towards the gym, Dimitri in the lead, true concern filled his eyes, a couple more guardians came form inside the ballroom. I realized what she would have done, she probably told them that it was me. That I punched her first, and that she did nothing. Great, I thought. I was going to be in so much trouble. I I headed into the trees, making sure nobody could see me. I headed back to Lissas dorm, but before I could make I felt my self passing out, I saw nothing as blackness as my head hit the ground.
