Everyone was dead beneath me.

"Hello?" I called. "Helloooooooo?"

Click.

"Hello?"

Click click.

Footsteps behind me.

"Hello?"

Faster, coming towards me. Someone grabbed me, yanking me upwards. I saw the faces beneath me. Lissa, Christian, Adrian, Rose, Mom. Mom. The face covered in blood looked like her. Her nose yanked up. You could see the cartalige in her nose.

"Let go! Let go!" the arms got tighter. "Let me go!" I screamed louder. I screamed and screamed, but my breath getting shorter and shorter as I struggled. Just then the world around me went black, and I no longer felt the arms around me, but soft hands shaking me awake.

I sat up with a jolt, scaring Fred so bad, I think I made him pee his pants. Kevin ran over to make sure I was okay, wondering if I had done something, seeing as Fred was panting as well.

"Wha-what's going on?"

"You were screaming, we thought. I just. Never mind. Go back to bed." I nodded, but was to scared to. Fred and Kevin had gone back to sleep, and I walked over and slipped into Kevin's bed, his eyes opened and saw me falling asleep. He grabbed around my torso, and I didn't have nightmares for the rest of the night.

I woke up to Kevin shaking me, begging me to wake up.

"What?" I groaned.

"Breakfast."

"Gr," I said. "Stupid breakfast." he shook his head, rolling his eyes.

"It's pancakes." Fred said calmly.

"Ooh! Anastasia likey pancakes!" I said, jumping up and running out of the room. Leaving Fred and Kevin to literally laugh their ass off. Soon enough though I heard them follow me, taking my arms into theirs. I smiled, enjoying the awesomeness of having friends my age. All my friends are usually older or younger than me. Never the same age. Especially who were boys. All of my friends were girls, never boys, but this was to fucking awesome to miss out on. Guys as friends, I'll take it. Besides, they were hot!

We got to the cafeteria in time for there to be loads of waffles for my to eat. I piled my plate sky high with chocolate chip pancakes, loading them with whip cream and syrup.

"Mm, starch and carbs, yum!" Lissa commented.

"Hey!" Rose said, munching on her equally loaded pancakes, "she's related to me, starch and carbs have no effect on the Hathaway sisters."

"Not for long." Christian said, using his arms to pretend blow-up. Making everybody, even Rose and I, laugh.

"Watch it pyro," Rose came back at "Use your flame to much and it will come back to haunt you. Or just set you on fire." Christian just glared at Rose for a little bit after that, but she didn't really care. She was used to his unusual stares at Lissa, this one didn't effect her.

"Hey guys," I said with my mouth full. "Lets all be friends!" but to them it sounded like Hey guys, lets mmf bf frrrrangs. They started at me for a second to chew and swallow. "Lets all be friends!" I said extra happy. Rose looked at me then burst into laughter.

"Yeah, like that's gonna happen!" Dimitri came over and hugged Rose to death, kissing her cheek like a mad man. She giggle and tried to kick Christian, working for a moment as he moaned and grabbed his, well, you know what. Rose said a quick sorry and left us for Dimitri. Christian looked even more pissed than usual and I was left with only Fred and Kevin as my company. I remembered last night as I climbed into Kevin's bed, and I knew he remembered as well as I did. Lissa looked between us two and smiled,

"Hey Anastasia, can you help me with something. I think I lost something in my room and Rose is to absorbed with Dimitri to help." she said, smiling and ultra sugar and spice smile.

"Sure." we started walking to her dorm and when we were to far for anyone to hear did she confront me.

"Hey, what's going on with you and the boys? Is there some action going on between yall?"

"No, none that I know of." she looked at me and I sighed in defeat. "OK, I had a terrible nightmare and I crawled into Kevin's bed and something happened."

"Kevin? Isn't he a Moroi?"

"I don't know! He could be dhampir, if he is. We could never be." I saw with a tear. Lissa looked at me and smiled.

"You need a friend, a girl friend, someone like me in this time." I laughed and she cleaned my face.

"You're Rose's best friend, not mine. It would kind of be weird if I was best friends with my sister's best friend."

"True, hey, I know some people you may like." my face looked normal and I followed her to a table full of girls. I looked at her with a, 'you want me to be friends with them?' I stood there and she smiled. "Come on." For the however many time I've done it I sighed again. I walked over to them and stood there smiling. One bitch looked at me and snorted.

"What do you want?" she said nastily.

"Well I was gonna ask what are math homework was, I think I forgot it, but, if you're going to be rude, that's fine." I started to walk away when some girls called me.

"Hey! Come back!" I turned around and Lissa smiled a huge smile. I sat down next to some girls. "Sorry, Danielle can be kind of bitchy in the morning, right Danielle?" the 'leader' of the bitch pack rolled her eyes and looked at me smiling.

"I'm sorry I was rude to you," she said extra sweet, "I'm sure it will never happen again." I looked at her funny and turned around. The girl that had called me over smiled at me.

"Hi, I'm Ana. What's your name?" she asked nicely. She looked of Hispanic decent, and had big hazel eyes. I smiled at her again.

"I'm Anastasia. Um, I'm new here."

"Yeah, we can see that." Danielle replied, the bitch in her showing. Ana gave her a look and Danielle apologized again and glared at me. Ana introduced me to Victoria, Carly, Jenna, Mac, Nina, and Samantha. I smiled at them, and they smiled back. Everyone ignored Danielle, they didn't want her bitch-tude to get in the way of their fun.

"So Anastasia," Nina asked, "Where did you come from."

"Up north." She saw Ana perk up.

"Up north of Montana?" she asked. "Or up north, the states?"

"Montana." Ana smiled and I could see she liked me now. Just then the bell rang and we all went to class. For the whole day, a smile never left my face. I had at least one of the girls in my classes and I couldn't help but be happy that I was making progress friend wise. i just wish I could do the same with my relationships.

I made my way to dinner and sat with my new friends. I was able to talk to them in class, and I think even Danielle was starting to warm up to me when a familiar face came over.

"Hey Anastasia, I need your advice." Dimitri said, rubbing his arm as if he was nervous over something.

"What is it Dimitri?" i asked nicely.

"I wanted to ask Rose to marry me."

"OH! Ooh! Okay, and you need me why?" I asked confused. He was asking Rose to marry him! Aaaaaah!

"I need some practice. Can you help me practice my proposal, since you look like Rose, and you can actually keep a secret." he said with a blush. I've never seen Dimitri like this, usually he was all manly and seemed to know everything . . . guess I was wrong.

"Of course I'll help! Anything for my sisters boyfriend - I mean, future fiancee!" he smiled, gave a quick thanks, and headed over to Rose, where she was sitting with all her friends.

"OH. My. God." Mac said, gawking at what just happened. "You're on terms with Dimitri? The one and only GOD! And you didn't tell us!" I notice then that everyone was starring in shock, even Danielle had her mouth open a little, eyes wide.

"What? He's my sister's boyfriend, soon to be fiancee if she says yes. Is that a problem?"

"Yeah, and when were you going to tell us that Rose Hathaway was your sister!" Ana almost yelled, and she seemed excited.

"Well, so what if she is." I asked confused.

"Gurl," Danielle said hastily. "Have you seen her any of the parties she throws! They are kick-ass!"

"Yeah, that group over there is the most popular in this entire school! And you know them!" I was about to say something when Fred and Kevin with a few of their friends came over and smiled.

"Hey roomie. Is it alright if we have a few friends over for a while after dinner. I know you got homework but -"

"It's fine Fred, I'll just have to ignore it. Have fun." i said with a smile and turned back to them gawking even more.

"YOU'RE ROOM MATES WITH FRED AND KEVIN! ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS!" Samantha shouted at me, causing people to give me a few looks.

"OMG! Those boys are delicious!" Carly stated and Victoria and Jenna nodded like crazy. I noticed Nina was quiet through it and didn't ask.

"What? They are my room mates." I said quietly.

"Girl, this could mean sex with either of them without anyone having to worry!" Victoria said.

"Ew! Sex with Fred is like fucking a banana. So not interested!" I said, a disgusted look on my face.

"What about Kevin?" Mac asked eagerly.

"Well, him neither but-" I blushed and they all gasped.

"YOU LIKE HIM DON'T YOU!" they all shouted at once, which all made us laugh.

Dinner finally ended and I was heading back to my dorm to finish my homework when Nina approached me, looking kind of shy.

"Hey Anastasia." she whispered.

"Hey Nina, what's up?" I said pleasantly. Leaning on the wall.

"I was wondering-"

"Yeah?"

"If you could put in a word with for me towards Fred?" I blinked in surprise. I didn't know Nina like Fred like that.

"Yeah, of course. I didn't know you like him."

"Yeah, have for a while. Can you just put in a word." she said hastily, already backing away.

"Yeah course!"

"Thanks Anastasia!"

"No problem Nina!" I said making my way towards my dorm.

I entered the place to see things everywhere and in surprise Kevin was by himself, sitting in the corner and smiled when he saw me.

"Anastasia! Over here!" he said loudly, over the music. I walked over, a little curious. Kevin shot out of the seat when I got near and did something I never saw coming.

He kissed me.
