Chapter 3

Stan Alto. My science teacher. He hates me. Why? Because when I was in the ninth grade he was my biology teacher. And I once put a hamster inside of his crab tank and caused a "ruckus" In class. It was just a joke by just saying ruckus. Well, I guess my mistake hasn't ultimately cleared over yet because I still can't live up to that day. Here I am three years later and he still hates me. Doesn't he have better things to do than worry about a teenage girl?

"Well well well, who do we have here? Hathaway. Please miss Rosemarie. Sit right here in front of the class. I want to see you front and center." Stan patted the seat right in front of his desk. It was the middle seat of the first row. I blushed. Once again I will be out front an center so everyone can see me. I looked to the back of the room where mason and Eddie were seated then back to the front desk and sighed. Just when I thought it was going to be a good day. For the first ten minutes students filled into the classroom, some I was happy to see like Jill and Mia others I weren't like Tasha and her pack of pups Camille and Avery. They followed Tasha around like she had a bone stuck up her butt. I wouldn't be surprised if she did though. She walks like she has a lot of things stuck up there including her head. Mia took a seat next to me -to that I owed her my life- even though I knew that she wanted to sit next to Eddie. Everyone knew she had a crush on him except ..well Eddie himself. Jill sat next to mason which was no shock to me since they had been dating for six months now. Tasha and her pups sat in front of the last row where my friends were sitting so I couldn't see them. Dog.

Stan started to pass out a sheet of paper. Not this again. Ice breakers. We have it every year. It's a list of games and such that we'll use in order to get to know each other. I hated it. I always had to stand in front of the class and speak.. Horrible. Stan's door opened and the class erupted in whispers. I turned to the door and saw mystery boy. I rolled my eyes and internally groaned. Or at least I thought it was internal. Until I heard Stan call my name. "Ms. Hathaway, do you have a problem with our new exchange student?" mystery boy arched one eyebrow. So cool but I didn't have time to obsess over the fact that I'm the only one in the history of homosophiens who Couldn't arch their eyebrow. Once again I was the center of the attention. I felt the heat rise to my cheeks as Mia nudged me.

" Rose," mystery boy said nodding at me. Who did he think he was. Trying to be the adult in the situation.

"quite down class. It seems to me that we already have ourselves a rivalry brewing" boy .was he right about that. "... So for our first ice breaker Rosemarie and Dmitri..." Stan was interrupted by mystery boy. " it's Dimitri sir" Stan looked at Dimitri from the corner of his eye and mumbled a sure it is. Then continued " Rosemarie and Dimitri will be doing the abc talk. " I groaned loudly. That was the worse. The abc talk we a game he stole from the show victorious. You had to talk only using the alphabets. The first person starts with a then the second with b and so on and so forth. It was ridiculous but never the less I stood up and walked to the front of the class where Dimitri and Stan stood.. Stan explained the rules of the game to Dimitri and clapped his hands to get the class attention which was un necessary since they were already staring at us. " okay class we will begin, whoever doesn't start with the correct letter will lose. "

" Awesome, I love playing ice breakers. What about you Rosemarie?"

" Bullshit" I said quietly

" Couldn't think of any other word that starts with B huh?"

"Don't even start Comrade. Not in the mood." my voice was louder but still not to loud.

" Even so, again with this nickname huh? "

" Fuck off."

" Guess your language isn't very extensive either"

" Hell, shit, fuck, damn, bastard. I can go on forever"

" I would say something back but I'm not gonna argue with a child"

" Just because you look twenty four rather than eighteen doesn't mean I'm a child."

" Kinda"

" Lalala.. Sorry I don't speak old man"

" , your very rude, hasn't your mother taught you that a potty mouth is a mouth that needs soap" my mother? Tears filled my eyes. She has taught me that. As a child my mouth was dirtier than it was now. I toned it down when she left.

" Please, try not to give me a fucking zen lesson. You know nothing about me or my mother you.. RSSR foreigner." I stomped to my set but no before mumbling " why don't you go back to your fucking country" under my breath. He looked around the class room and that's when I realized the entire room had gone silent.

The seat Avery once occupied before she made her move next to Camille dimitri took over. Tasha giggled and asked could she touch his hair. I growled and took my seat next to Mia.. My phone vibrated in my pocket . I took it out a opened the message from Mia.

MamaMia: Rose he is so you smell him? Did he smell good? I bet he smelled like hunky guy and chocolate . yummy yummy. Mia likey.

SimplyExoticRose: lol no I didn't smell him you perve. That was super weird. And he isn't that cute.

MamaMia: Your words say that but your body language doesn't. You know he is hotter than the sun hot.

I had to admit. He was absolutely gorgeous. He stood at about 6'4" or 5" and was built. Not like all he ever did was pump iron but like he had his muscles naturally. From good ole' fashion manual labor. His girly hair was dark brown and wavy and stopped right below his shoulders and his skin was semi tan and olive toned. He was hot. But I didn't like him. He made me sick to the stomach. And he would be a problem. I could feel it.

Stan resumed to the ice breakers shortly after. We plated a game called guess how good I can lie. We went around the room and Said three things about ourselves. One had to be a lie and the other two had to be truths. If no one guessed your lie then you moved to the next round. Eddie went first. He stood up.

" hey, my name is Edison Mazur. I'm a twin brother, I love chocolate, and my sister is rosemarie hathaway." a few people raised their hands and guessed that the lie was that I was his sister. Once they were proved wrong many put their hands down. All except girly hair. Eddie called on him.

"Well, rose has to be your sister because your hair color and skin colors are exactly the same. You also look like the kid next to you except for the hair and you don't have freckles so the twin thing couldn't be too far off either. So I'm guessing that chocolate isn't your number one on the favorite candies list" Eddie frowned and nodded his head. He was out of the game.

" I'm Mason Mazur and I still sleep with a teddy bear named Polly, I wear a size 14 in shoes and my girlfriend knows my hot spot" Jill giggled but remained silent. Me and Eddie locked eyes but didn't raise our hand. Tasha raised hers though.

" Jill does not know your hot spot. The poor little mouse of a girl looks to shy to even touch anyone let alone sexually touch them."

" I guess you would know all about sexual touching huh tasha ?" Mia said defending Jill. Jill sat further in her seat. Natasha faked laughed and shot a bird at Mia.

" Actually NATASHA that was a truth." Mason contradicted. Tasha stopped smiling. Dimitri raised his hand to answer.

" Well since one has been proven right that was not it. I wear a size 14 in shoes and your feet aren't as big as mine although they are almost there. I'm guessing you wear a size 13 1/2. So where's Polly the bear cause my guess is that you still sleep with her." mason blushed and sat down. The game continued like this until it was dimitri's turn. He stood up proud and strong.

" my name is Dimitri belikov and I'm from Russia. I'm a black belt in tikwondo and I practice the ancient art of the Chinese kumatai." no one raised their hand. Everyone just stared.

" we'll... No one is going to guess which one is a lie.." silence. " you sure?" I raised my hand.

I said without turning around to look at Dimitri. " Well, you accent is definitely foreign and I couldn't really place it from this morning... I thought it was spanish but then I found out your name girly hair. Definitely not Spanish . Plus after seeing how extremely buff you are It wouldn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that you definitely know a thing or two about kicking ass. The kumatai isn't even real though.. And I know this because I have studied every art of the Chinese history." I smirked then looked to the back of the room where Dimitri was standing. He was looking at me weirdly. Like he approved or something.

Fifteen minutes later the game was over and I was victorious. The bell rang and I quickly grabbed my things to leave.
