I quickly though on a pair of camo shorts and white tank top. Adrian lays down on the bed, leaning his head on his arms. I sit down on the edge of the bed, and start pulling on my shoes.

"why do you have to go so early?", he asked

I'm going to go help lissa get ready", I reply, finishing the first shoe and starting to put on the second. His fingers trace along the small of my back. I shiver as the electic shock of his touch runs through me.

"ill see you later?", he asks, nervously.

"of course", I tell him, smiling reassuringly. I turn around and give him a quick peck on the lips.

"see you later baby", I tell him, grinning. I stand up and walk over to the door, grapping my bag of shopping.

"what's in the bag?", asks Adrian, curiously.

"a part of Christians birthday present", I tell him, winking. "your going to love it". I wink at him, opening the door.

He grins. "cant wait",

I flash him one of my man eating smiles, then walk out.

"I love you little Dhampir", he calls after me. I feel my heart fluttering.

I love you too, baby", I call back, closing the door behind me.

I walk over to viktoria's room. the door is unlocked. i give a quick knock, then walk in. viktoria was sitting on her bed, doing up her laces.

"hey vik", I greet her, dropping down into a chair.

"hey Rosie, guessing its time to go?", she asks.

"yea, but what's with the Rosie?", I ask her. She grins.

"I got no idea. It just suits you", she replies. I roll my eyes. I hope it doesn't catch on.

"whatever, come on, lets go", I stand up and pick up my bag, and viktoria stands up and grab hers. We walk over to the door.

"what, no window today?", she asks.

I laugh "yea, turns out, there are these things called doors now. Awesome, huh?", I reply. We laugh, and viktoria almost falls over.

We make out way to lissa's room, and enter to find lissa running around, looking worried.

"what's wrong, lis?", I ask her, worriedly.

"Omg were is it! my bracelet, Christian gave to me. I wanted to wear it today", she opens one of her draws and starts to pull everything out.

I walk over to her bed and pick up a bracelet." you mean this one?", I ask her, fiddling with it.

"Omg Rosie, thank you so much!", she yells, pulling me into a massive hug and kissing my cheek.

I laugh and pat her on the back. "no problem, lis, but what's with the Rosie? It's so, I don't know, feminine?", I ask.

"well, rose, you are a female you know", says lissa.

"oh, I know I'm a female. And so do all the boys at this school", I replie, smiling evilly.

Viktoria and lissa roll their eyes. i take lissa's arm, and put the bracelet on it. its beautiful. It has a thin gold outline, and its covered in diamonds and small deep blue gems, the same colour as Christians eyes, and light green stones, the same colour as lissa's. it must have cost him a fortune. I did up the clasp.

"wow lissa, that must have cost him a fortune", I say, staring at it. viktoria was staring at it as well.

Lissa smiled, and blushed. "he gave it for me for our 6 month anniversary",

Viktoria and I both awwwed

"wow, that was so sweet of him", said vik

"yea, who though that pyromaniac had it in him", I laugh, and get a light punch the arm from lissa.

I tipped my bag of clothes onto lissa's bed, and viktoria followed suit with hers. Lissa neatly took hers out of the bag, and placed them beside ours. I roll my eyes. lissa's always neat.

"time to get ready", she says, smiling.

We spend the next fours hours having showers and getting ready. One we finaly get into out outfits (after lissa had made sure they were all on right), we painted our toenails and fingernails to match our outfits.

"so, Vivie, what's going on between you and Eddie?", I ask her, raising my eyebrows.

She blushes. "nothing" she replies to quickly. Me and lissa exchange knowing smiles

Tag team? She ash's through the bond. I nod.

"are you sure, I've seen the way he looks at you" I say, moving to one side of her.

"the way he smiles at you", continues lissa, moving to her other side.

"the way you sit together",

Viktoria is blushing redder and redder.

"the way he smiles at you"

"the way you smile at him"

"OH, ALRIGHT, WE HOOKED UP BEHING THE GYM!", she yells, standing up and moving away from us, "man, you guys can be annoying", we both laugh.

"what about you and Adrian?", vik asks,

"what do you mean?", I ask her. Did she know he'd been in my room last night? Fear flashed through me. I mean, I don't care if lissa knows… but if knows, Christian knows, and he would have a field day with the pretty Dhampir being in bed with the cute moroi. I would have pregnancy jokes for months every time I snapped at someone.

"are you guys, like, dating?", she asked me.

"ummm", I reply. I'm not really sure if we are. I mean, he hasn't asked me out or anything. But after last night… i'm not sure were we stand at the moment. I decided to be honest with then. "truthfully, I don't know. I mean, I like him… but i'm not really sure where we stand".

They frown at me.

"hmm well that's not very good. Why don't you ask him, Rosie?", asks lissa. Again with the Rosie. Why does it keep coming up? My name is not Rosie. I decided to ignore it. this time.

I shrug. "ill try to find out", I promise them. After that lissa does says its like to do our hair.

Lissa put her hair up in curls, and viktoria straightened hers. I put a few loose drop curls in my hair, the shook my hair up, making it messy. Then I apply a bit of foundation, and some eyeliner. Lissa and viktoria also apply a bit of makeup. The both apply a lot more than me. I just want a natural look for tonight. I spray on a little bit of the perfume Adrian brought me.

After a while lissa looks down at her watch "shit!", she yells. Viktoria and I jump up and look around the room to see whats wrong. Lissa almost never swears.

"lis, what's wrong?!?", I ask.

"were 20 mins late!" she yelled.

Lissa grabbed our arms and pulled us out the door, and we all run over to the parking lot. We had gotten permission from headmistress kirova to go out for dinner.

We reached the parking lot, and all the males mouths drop open.

The people hear are Christian, Tasha, dimitri, Adrian, Eddie, and Alberta and stan (kirova said we needed guardians).

Christian was staring open mouthed at lissa. She walked up to him and kissed him, full on. I felt a bit bad for Tasha, it must be awkward watching her nephew hook up. But when I glanced at her, she looked more amused than anything. Eddie was looking at viktoria, and she walked over and stood next to him. Adrian, dimitri, and stan were all staring at me. I smiled my man eating smile at them.

"stop drooling boys, and close you mouth before the flys get in", I tell them, then walk over the Adrian. I hear Alberta chuckle at my comment. I glance over to see her standing with Tasha, both of them looking extremely amused. I look back at Adrian. He opens his arms for me, and I lean back against him, pulling his arms tighter around me. it really cold out here, and these skimpy outfits arnt very good in the car.

"alright, everyone ready to go? Time to leave. Get in the car.", says Alberta.

We all get into two SUVs'. Alberta drives one, with Christian, lissa, Tasha, and Eddie in it. Stan drives the other one, with me, Adrian, viktoria and Dimitri.

I sat in the back with Adrian on one side, and Dimitri on the other. Viktoria sat shotgun, with Stan.

I sat awkwardly in the middle. Dimitri sat up straight beside me. I could see him struggling to keep his guardian face on when Adrian wrapped his are around. I leaned into Adrian. Dimitri tensed. The ride was silent, except for viktoria randomly chatting away. Occasionally me or Dimitri would say something to her.

Finally, we arrived at a bar, and we all got out. Adrian put his arm around my waste, and we walked over to Christian, who was standing with lissa. Eddie and viktoria came with us.

"hey there Chrissie happy birthday!", I say, giving him a hug. He stood still, a bit shocked, the briefly hugged me back, before we both pulled away.

"yea, happy birthday dude. Now you can come drink with me legally", says Adrian, grinning.

"yea, man!", said Christian, grinning and giving Adrian a high five. Lissa and I rolled our eyes.

"and off course we'd have to tease our little Eddie", said Adrian, laughing and pulling Eddie into a deadlock. "no alcohol for the underage". Eddie easily got out of the headlock.

"if I cant drink, neither can rose or lissa", he told them. That shut both of them up. We all giggled.

"fine, we'll share, Eddie", said Christian.

"no you wont", said Alberta, walking up to us. "he's underage". We all sigh, and Alberta grins. "come on, all of you, everyone else is already inside"

We all went to walk into the club. Clubs are the only thing open this late at night. Lissa and viktoria went in first, they were both tall, and had no problem with it. then Christian, Eddie, and Alberta. I went next.

"what do you thing your doing?", asked the bouncer.

I turned to look at him in surprise. "what do you mean?" I ask him

"Your to young. Look at you, your what, 16? He asks.

"No, I'm just short. Nothing illegal about that", I retort

"Get out, or show me some idea", he says rudely.

"do I look like I have pockets to carry it", I ask him, just as rudely. "besides, would a kid look like this?, I asked, gesturing to my body, which, apart from being to curvy for Dhampir's, was also very curvy for a human.

He looked me up and down, pausing when he looked at my chest.

"ahem, my eyes are up here", I told him.

He looked up at me angrily. "your not going getting in", he says, moving to stand in from of the door. "we don't allow children in here".

Anger shot through my body. I remembered Dimitri's words, from when he left me for tasha.

"Yes," he said after several moments of silence. "You are. And every second this conversation goes on, you only prove how young you really are."

I bring up my fist and to smash it into his face, but someone grabs me from behind. He doesn't try to stop my first, but smelling his sent, all my anger leaves and I pull my fist back, and lean into Adrian. Adrian is staring at the man. The man is looking back at, dazed. Compulsion, I realize.

" you don't need to see her idea", Adrian told him. "she is old enough. Agreed?".

"agreed", mumbled the man, stepping aside for us to enter. "have a good time",
