Hey guys. Nothing new really. Just felt that I needed to get a chapter up since I'm getting some comments from my other story. They aren't the nicest either, but I can use all the help I can get. So! Continue please.

Chapter Six: Ah the mixed feelings of...December.

October came and left and soon came November. And then it was finally December. Not only was there buzz about Winter Break but of course something important was coming up. It would be one of the biggest and best things this whole year! And what would that be? Simple.

The Snow Ball.

Vlad looked up at the flyer that hung up in the hall. He's heard about the Snow Ball. He's actually been to it in 6th grade. He did have a good time...until Bill and Tom smashed his face into the punch. The boy winced painfully at that memory. He still couldn't bare to look at fruit punch again, bowl or not.

But this year, he had a good feeling about the ball. He wanted to actually...try and ask Meredith to go with him. Even though due to social status and such, that's basically IMPOSSIBLE but...it was worth a try.

The halfling smiled and dragged his feet down the hall. He wasn't in a hurry; it was the last period of the day. Personally, he didn't even like Mr. Otis' class. Not only was the teacher weird but he had a strange obsession with Rosy. Every time she would do something right, he would praise her...and then give her way more work. Also, he seemed to love to assign Rosy a topic about werecats or cats or anything in that nature...

This made Vlad come to a stop. Did Mr. Otis really know about Rosy being a werecat? And if so, how? He never asked Rosy to stay after class alone; he or Henry were always asked to stay also (good thing too. he might've been a pedophile...). Plus, he only sees them once a day. So how could he possibly already know that Rosy was a werecat? Wait...why was it bothering him so much?

All of a sudden, Vlad was face down on the floor. Somebody had bumped into him and for whatever reason...

"Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry-oh. It's just you."

After hearing the tension in the girl's voice, Vlad stood up to find Caite glaring daggers into his back. He shuffled his feet awkwardly, since he and Caite never seemed to be on good terms.

"Look, I'm sorry for being in your way-"

"I don't care what you have to say. My main concern is Rosy, ok?"

Rosy? Vlad stared at her blankly at this. She bumps into him, he apologizes, but she rejects his apology for...Rosy? Obviously, the cheerleader could see how this reaction made him puzzled. So she quickly snapped her fingers back in his face to finally get his attention.

"Look. I don't know what kind of sick mind games you and McMillian seem to be playing, but Rosy's MY friend too. I don't apperciate you taking her from me like that."

The halfling blinked a few times in confusion and looked at her. "I never was taking her away from you...in fact, I have no idea what you're talking about...? So can you explain to me what's going on?"

The girl was about to say something but suddenly, the late bell rang.

Great, he thought in anger. Now her stupidity made me late...

"Look, just quit doing whatever...goth emo thing you're doing to keep her with you. Ok?" And with that, the cheerleader adjusted her ponytail and skipped off to class.

"I think you should just forget it."

Vlad chuckled as he listened to Rosy rant on and on about Meredith. Apparently, the girl had a dislike for her. But he couldn't say that Meredith didn't feel the same way. Whenever the two girls merely passed by each other, it seemed that all heck was about to break loose.

He grabbed a book and sat back inside his chair. He and Rosy were both at the library since apparently, due to his lateness, Mr. Otis had to assign them both another project. This one was about the many effects a vampire could get from the sun.

"I don't get how he comes up with these...these..."

"Ideas?" Rosy finished his sentence for him with a smile, which oddly made him blush. She always smiled at him, yet this time...

"Y-yeah. It's like he seems to have some sort of sick or twisted plan involving the both of us."

Rosy giggled at the thought. Suddenly she looked at Vlad with wide eyes.

"Do you think he thinks we're dating?"

Vlad had no idea why but he felt his whole entire face just flush at the word dating. But, Rosy was like one of his greatest friends-oh there he goes with the debating again.

Rosemary looked at him and tilted her head to the side. Suddenly, she just began to nuzzle his cheek. Now, if he already had mixed feelings for this girl, of course he just gotten even MORE confused. She then moved closer and closer to Vlad's lips. By now his face was beet red. When of a sudden...

She began to laugh.

Vlad pushed her face away, his face totally hot with embarassement. Did he really think he would kiss Rosy? In the LIBRARY? Even if he did, it wouldn't have been very romantic anyways.

Ugh! What am I saying! He screamed out in his mind, afraid someone might've heard him.

Rosy on the other hand, didn't seem to notice. "I can't believe you thought that I was gonna kiss you! Vlad you're sooooo funny!"

Vlad rolled his eyes, and stood up. "Uh yeah...it's getting late, so we should be going. Besides, didn't you say your mom wanted to meet me today?"

This calmed Rosy down in a heartbeat. In no less than a minute, she was up and ready to go. "Yeah...I totally forgot about that." Vlad didn't like the sound of her voice though. She made it sound like he was going to a funeral...his funeral actually.

The pair walked outside together and started playing a random poking game. It went on like this for a while. Well, with Rosy's occasional squeals since she was ticklish.

Suddenly, a scream rang out.
-

Caite always hated Vladimir. She hated him the day she saw him. She hated him when she witnessed one of her friends being eaten by his dad. She hated him when the Slayer Society rejected her since she was a girl who seemed to just have rash decisions.

And now she definetly hated him for taking Rosy away from her.

She groaned at this as she walked down the sidewalk. It's not like she can't see that Vlad is developing a crush for her. In fact, she DOESN'T WANT Vlad to develop feelings for her. She wished he hadn't even known her. And now she, a slayer, would have to be more involved with a vampire's life just to protect her friend.

Because she didn't want Rosy to lose her life or nearly lose her life like her friend Leona did.

Just as she was making this decision though, she heard something that made her grab her wooden dagger in her back pocket, and run towards the person.

She heard a scream.
