Threat

I dressed in jeans and a tube top. I swept my hair to the side and secure it with a holder. The entire school is seated and chattering excitedly when I walk in the auditorium. It looks like a football game. Seats climb up to thirty rows long and twenty seats wide. A round stage circled around so that everywhere you look, you'd be facing the stage. I spot Adrian and the blonde bitch sitting near the exit. As I pass, the Blondie spits out: slut and I roll my eyes. Walking pass them quickly, I took a seat next to Dimitri. He saw my look of disgust and asks, "What's wrong?"

I jerk my head to the left, in the direction of Adrian and Blondie.

He shook his head as Adrian leans over for a quick smooch. "Don't worry about it."

"Something's wrong with her." I insisted.

"Couldn't agree more." He agreed, eyes looking troubled.

"Welcome students of Lehigh University. I think you know why you're all here." The principal starts. "We are here because our school has been under attacked."

"By who?" Someone in the audience shouted.

I shot Dimitri a panicked look.

"I took care of it." He whispered. "They didn't find the evidence of whom."

I turned to the podium, waiting nervously. "We aren't sure so we are not pointing fingers. But know that there are going to be changes. Our securities have doubled. Rules have been established in light of the situation. Consequences will be delivered to whoever that broke it." She points to the door. "Teachers have been assigned during every class break and after curfew. No horse playing will be allowed."

I snorted. No teacher is gonna stop anybody from sneaking out after curfew. Lissa smiled at me mischievously. No, correction. No one is gonna stop Lissa and Christian from sneaking out after curfew.

"Classes have been canceled so you can get acquaintance to the new rules." She announced.

Cheers and Whoops erupted from the crowds. I have to laugh. She really understands us, doesn't she?

"Dismiss."

…

I trudge back to my dorm room followed by Lissa, Christian, and Dimitri. "I wonder where Dylan and Joe are." I said aloud.

"With Adrian." Lissa replied. "They are technically his Guardians."

Hm.

I walk through the door and something crackles beneath my steps. I pick a white envelope with my name ROSE HATHAWAY printed in red. I pull out the contents and gasped. It was a picture. Of me and Dimitri. Together. This morning. I stuff the photo in my pocket so fast that none of others could see. A note is folded into sixteen little squares. I gulped. "Excuse me." I close the door and race to the lounge where few people are hanging out. I sat down on one of the loveseat and un-crumple the photo, setting it beside me. I unfolded the note and it said: I know you're secret. Watch your back.

I ball my fist. I know who sent this.

"Is everything alright?" A voice said behind me. I jump and sat on envelope, note and photo.

I lick my lip, coating it with saliva. "Fine." I squeak.

Dimitri looks down disapprovingly. "Rose. I know when you're lying to me."

Sighing, I retrieve the stuff and handed it to him.

He paled and his eyes turned to slits. "Adrian."

I nodded and hoped that Adrian is signed on for life insurance because after Dimitri's done with him. Let's just say that he's be permanent immobilize.
