The Eyes of Heavenly Fire
Chapter 4
Rose
At lunch, the awkwardness continued when she ate with Mia, Adrian, and Dimitri. Rose had felt a little bored that day so it was time for her usual Q&A but this time it was with the new students instead of with the people of this school who hated her. She decided to start with Dimitri since he was the one who caught her eye the most.
"So where are you from Dimitri?"
His body stiffened.
"I'm from Los Angeles."
"Oh the City of Angels. That seems pretty cool. What about you guys?"
"We're from Juno, Alaska." Mia said with a polite smile.
"I bet it's pretty cold there." She said biting into her grilled cheese.
It tasted gross as usual.
"I'm used to it." Mia said.
"Okay. What's your favorite movie?"
"Angels and Demons." Dimitri said.
"The original exorcist." Mia said.
"The Phantom of the Opera." Adrian said earning him a few strange glances.
"What it was a good movie?"
She shrugged and looked over to Dimitri who shrugged.
None of them seemed to be eating their food. Then the pretty girl she noticed Adrian talking to from earlier came over to their table..
"Hey Adrian." She said glaring at Mia.
"Hello Sydney."
"I am such a forgetful person. I forgot to take the correct notes in our first hour. Do you think I could barrow yours?"
Adrian reached into his backpack and handed her his notebook.
"Thank you Adrian. You're a life saver."
"Well I do love helping a damsel in distress." He said with a wink sending Sydney into giggles.
"Will you walk me to class?"
"Anything for a sweet damsel."
Adrian stood up and looped his arm around Sydney's
"See you guys later."
Rose watched Adrian and Sydney leave.
Sydney seemed nice enough to her, but judging from the look she saw on Mia's face, she begged to differ. When she caught Rose staring at her she turned happy again making scary Mia go away.
"Sorry about that. I just don't like Sydney that much. She hangs around that girl who pushed you this morning."
"I think Sydney is the only one capable of being nice in Tasha's Group, but she would deny it if you confronted her about it."
Mia shrugged and she turned to Dimitri noticing his eyes once more. They were brown but the iris's were a bright green. One that reminded her of a spring leaf.
"Are you wearing colored contacts? They're really pretty."
His body stiffened.
"Ugh. No. My eyes are naturally like this. I was stuck with an abnormal genetic when I was born."
"I like them. You're eyes are very nice to look at."
"Yours aren't so bad either."
Rose was about to say something cutesy (which wasn't like her at all) when she suddenly heard the shattering of glass and felt herself lying on the floor with Dimitri on top of her. Students screamed and she heard the distant sound of Mia's voice.
"Oh my God! What happened?" she screamed.
Dimitri helped her up when she noticed glass in her arm from the newly broken window.
"Rose! You're hurt!" Mia screamed looking at the cuts on Rose's arm.
"I'll take her to the nurse to get the glass out."
"No anything but that please."
"We'll tell her you got cuts and scrapes from your new kitten. Now come on your hurt."
He took her hand gently and lead her to the nurse's office.
