Chapter 20
"Previously on Boys Over Roses"
-Noura
"Jason brought for Dimitri a blanket and some food, thinking that Dimitri was…." Rose gasped remembering last year when he parents were shouting at Jason for giving his food and blanket to
"A homeless guy" Rose was shocked. Mason and Christian nodded their heads and said.
"Dimitri was the homeless guy"
Rose was laying on her bed, while repeating the conversation she had with Christian and Mason.
"Dimitri would have died there if Jason didn't give him that blanket" Christian said, with pain in his blue eyes. Rose understood at that moment why Dimitri would feel this way towards her brother.
"But you said he was drunk, how did her remember Jason?" Rose asked. Christian smiled and said.
"He didn't" Rose was about to ask more, when he continued not waiting for her response.
"Dimitri never knew who helped him that day, he couldn't remember anything at all" Rose held the backseat of both Mason and Christian's chair with much force. This time Mason jumped in and continued the story.
"He sent someone to find him, but there was no luck" Mason said. Then he suddenly grinned. "But when Dimitri visited your house last Saturday and saw Jason.. He felt like he had seen him before, but he didn't put much thought in that, until when he got home, he kept thinking where he had seen Jason before then just like that it clicked" Rose started to remember that Dimitri didn't act so friendly towards Jason that day.
Rose sighed and rolled to her right side trying to find sleep, after all tomorrow will be the day she has to present her project with Dimitri. She spent the whole day after begging Lissa and Jess to let her do her project. Her project took longer time than she thought it would.
"URGHH! I'm dreading tomorrow already" She groaned and tried to fall asleep.
Rose woke up with sound of her mother arguing with her father. Rose tiptoed towards her door, while trying to be as calm as she could. She didn't want to be caught eavesdropping or else things would become ugly.
"Abe what are we going to do? We need to pay for our electricity today or else we won't be able to stay warm" said Janie with tears in her eyes and her voice shook, making Rose clench her hands into fists.
"I don't know Janie" Abe said, feeling hopeless that made Janie cry and Abe did the only thing he could do. He hugged Janie and hoped for the best.
Rose walked away from the door and whispered to herself.
"I have to do something"
She took out her school uniform and walked out of her room. Her parents were in the kitchen preparing breakfast. Rose went in the bathroom and got ready for school. Fifteen minutes later she walked out looking good.
"Good morning honey are you prepared for your presentation today?" asked Janie looking as normal as she could, but Rose knows better. She plastered a smile on her face and said.
"More than ever" Abe chuckled at that and said.
"That's my girl" Janie shook her head at Abe, but continued cooking her eggs. Rose took a bowl outside and put some cereal and milk in it. She took a spoon out from the cabinet and started eating.
"Rose honey, You know that Jason is staying with Dimitri for a few days, how about you have a sleep over in Jess or Lissa's place" Said Janie. Rose could feel her heart being stabbed, knowing that her parents wants her to sleep in a warm place, while they don't. She smiled now trying to hold her tears and said.
"I'll tell Lissa" Janie nodded her head and continued cooking. Rose looked down at her half filled cereal and felt not hungry anymore.
Rose decided to ride her bike to school, she didn't want to burden her father by letting him drive her to school. She let the tears fall freely. She felt so angry with herself, because she couldn't help her parents with the bill. She was saving her money for collage. She hoped that she could get a scholarship, so she can share her money with her parents.
After 20 minutes Rose arrived school, she was too early. The student parking lot was kind of empty. There were only 3 cars parked. Rose parked her bike then got off and walked inside. She decided to practice what she's going to say in the presentation.
She entered her Biology class and sat down. She covered her face with her hands and sighed deeply. She hoped that her eyes aren't puffy anymore. She didn't want anyone to notice that she was crying especially Dimitri.
"Take a deep breath Rose, you'll figure out later how to help mom and dad," she whispered to herself. She was glad that Jason was staying at Dimitri's house even if she disliked Dimitri.
She stood up and faced the empty chairs and smiled pretending that the chairs were filled with students, and then she started talking. It was so easy to her to talk about anything in biology. She loved that subject so much. She finished all of the points she would talk about and stopped.
Suddenly she heard someone clapping. She jumped a little at that sound and turned her head towards it. She was surprised when she saw Jesse smirking at her.
"Not bad Hathway" and he walked in class. Rose stood her ground not wanting to appear slightly intimidated by his presence. Jesse stopped right in front of her. He was holding one strap of his bag. He cocked his head to the side, still smirking of course and said.
"Are you still believing that witch?" Rose appeared confused, which caused him to sneer and take a step closer to her. Rose stood her ground, making Jesse very close to her. She could feel his hot breath on her face.
"I don't know what you're talking about" Rose said, trying to look strong in front of him. Jesse raised an eyebrow and leaned closer reaching her eye level.
"Meredith" he sneered. His eyes were filled with anger. Rose took a step backwards cursing at her self for doing so. That encouraged Jesse to take a step closer.
"She planned all of that prank and asked me to help her" he laughed bitterly, while taking another step forward Rose took another step backwards her back hit the teacher's desk. She was stuck and Jesse was satisfied with the way Rose was acting.
Rose couldn't stop herself from reacting like that. Jesse looked mad, like he was going to hurt her. Rose swallowed and said, while trying to act strong in front of Jesse.
"You're lying" Jesses laughed again.
"You're so stupid can't you see who she really is" Rose remembered that time when she looked at Meredith's bag and saw a lot of tissues like she was preparing for something. Jesses saw that doubt in Rose's eyes and continued saying.
"You know I'm not, so stop being stupid and stay away from her or else you'll be the second target" and just like that. Jesses winked at Rose and smirked, and then he walked towards his desk. That's when students started walking in, making Rose walk towards her desk.
Is there a possibility that Meredith planned all of this? Rose asked herself. She shook her head to clear her thoughts and took a deep breath. No Jesse is just trying to mess with my mind.
Dimitri still didn't show up in class, which caused Rose's hands to sweat. She didn't want to do the project all by herself. Mason and Christian showed up and sat with their partners. Rose has that feeling that they used their partners to do their project just like Dimitri. Adrian walked in and was holding some papers Rose couldn't help, but stare. It's like he sensed her stare, because he immediately turned his head towards her and gave her a small smile.
Rose wanted to swoon all over the place, but she snapped out of it when Dimitri walked in, of course like he owned the place, which he did. Dimitri sat on the chair next to her and grinned. Rose just sighed and tried to explain to him as much as she could before Mr. Yuri comes.
"Don't forget to click on the computer when I move to another slide okay!" Rose repeated again. Dimitri smirked mischievously and said.
"Why would I forget something like that" she felt something nagging at the pit of her stomach, but shook it off and hoped that Dimitri for once won't try to embarrass her in front of the whole class.
"Okay class may I have your attention please" called Mr. Yuri. Everyone stopped talking and paid attention to him. He nodded his head approvingly and said.
"I hope all of you finished their projects, now I will call each pair randomly to come in front and present their project" everyone was still silent, he nodded his head again and called.
"First pair Mason Ashford and Camellia Conta" Mason stood up and walked in front following him Camellia with her long blond hair swaying right and left. They turned around facing us all. Camellia started talking about a type of plant. Rose dozed off not really caring about it.
Other partners came and presented their project Rose didn't pay much attention until Mr. Yuri called.
"Adrian Ivashkov and Tasha Ozera " Rose's head snapped up when she heard Adrian's name. Adrian walked in front following him Tasha. Rose could see Tasha checking out Dimitri and trying to gain his attention by swaying her hips forcefully. Her heels clicked on the floor, gaining every guys attention. Except Dimitri, which frustrated her.
Dimitri was annoyed at Rose, reacting that way towards Adrian. He was looking at her, while trying to read her emotions, which was obvious that she liked Adrian. He felt a burning sensation in his chest. Tasha noticed Dimitri staring at Rose, which made her immediately put her as a target.
She never thought Rose would be a threat towards her perfect future with Dimitri, but now seeing that Dimitri is interested she had to get rid of her fast. She caught Jesse staring at her and smiled, she knew well enough how to get rid of Rose.
Rose was clueless to the new threat towards her, she was looking at Adrian, while he explains about diabetes and how it's important to understand it. Rose kept nodding at every point he talks about. Adrian finished explaining and Tasha started. Rose dozed off immediately, but she couldn't help, but notice how close Tasha was standing next to Adrian.
Rose caught Tasha's eyes and was shocked when she glared hatefully at her. Rose doesn't remember ever speaking or interacting with Tasha, which made her confused to the reason Tasha would glare at her like that. Rose raised her eyebrows and glared back, making her drop her gaze instantly.
No one messes with Rose Hathway Rose thought to herself and couldn't help, but smirk. Dimitri saw everything and smiled amusingly at Rose. He still didn't know why he likes her. The way she look so strong was one of the main reasons he thought.
"Dimitri Belikov and Rose Hathway" Rose stood up, following her Dimitri. She could see everyone was looking at Dimitri totally ignoring her. Rose didn't mind at all. She didn't want to be noticed like Dimitri. Dimitri looked at Rose and nodded his head then walked in front. Rose followed him, while praying that nothing 'intentional' would happen.
They stood in front of the whole class. Rose took one deep breath and just like that she started talking about the positive and negative things about those bugs. Of course when she started talking about Cockroaches all of the girls 'ewwee-d' in reunion causing the guys to laugh and surprisingly Mr. Yuri who looked pleased.
Then Dimitri started explaining about bees and ants. Rose was surprised at how professional he looked. He spoke with so much confident without looking at the small cards. He was full of energy and kept on making jokes about it, causing the class to fill with laughter. Rose was kind of mesmerized.
"The sting of a bee is painful and might even cause death to some people that have high allergy, if you want to know how painful is you should ask Adrian about it" Dimitri smirked. Everyone stopped talking and stared at Adrian waiting for his replay.
Adrian's face broke into a playful grin and said. "It hurts like hell" and everyone laughed at that and when Dimitri announced that the presentation was over everyone 'ohhhed'. The class mood was different; Rose didn't know Dimitri could turn a class mood in just a few jokes. But now she kind of understands why they respect him that much. She smiled and when Dimitri caught her smiling, he smiled back and it was perfect.
Rose was walking towards the lockers after finishing swimming practice. Her team meats were nice and even offered her to sit with them at lunch tomorrow, but she kindly refused, because she wanted to sit with Meredith instead. She remembered Jesse's words at how Meredith planned it all and she decided to confront her tomorrow at lunch.
All of Rose's teammates walked out and some waved goodbye. Rose waved back and tried to finish fast. She was talking to the coach before, who caused her to be late and now she was changing at the lockers alone. Something in the pit of her stomach was telling her that she's not alone. Rose shook her head and tried to finish fast before she would start freaking out.
She closed the last button of her shirt and carried her bags. She walked towards the door and stopped taking a deep breath. When she started feeling dreadful. Rose took a deep shaky breath and whispered to herself.
"Stop being afraid nothing is going to happen"
She stepped out expecting to be tackled or something but saw that the hallway was deserted. She sighed and walked towards the main door. Suddenly she heard footsteps walking towards her. She turned around and saw the deserted hallway. Why am I acting like this? There is nothing wrong! She thought desperately.
She turned around and gasped. She saw two guys standing right in front of her. She took a step back and her back hit someone. She turned her head and saw two other guys. Fear filled her; she couldn't stop herself from screaming. One of the guys that had blond hair covered her mouth and shushed her. They were all laughing. Rose whimpered and then heard.
"Good job guys now each one of us will take their turn, but I'll be first" Rose gasped when she saw him. It was Jesse and he was looking down at her with a mean smile. Rose's eyes were filled with anger. When she realized what they were planning to do to her.
She didn't hesitate to bite the guy's hand. He jumped back and cursed. Jesse laughed and said.
"Stop fighting us Rose you have no choice no one is in the gym, no one is gonna hear you, so make it easy on yourself by letting us finish what we want then you'll be free to go" Rose glared at him and said.
"Over my dead body" and kicked the first guy in front of him in the middle causing him to groan and fall on the ground. She was going to do the same to the red head next to him, but the guy that she bit held her hands backwards in a painful way, causing her to scream in pain. Jesse laughed and said, while coming closer to her.
"Scream as loud as you can no one is going to hear you" That didn't stop her from shouting for help.
"What's going on in here?" asked a voice that Rose would recognize anywhere.
Who…is…. he?
German
Adrian
Or
Dimitri *smirking*
