HI Everyone! Thank you for the reviews, Sorry i haven't updated in soo long, I feel really bad, but I had I have a seven paragraph essay for History, a district assessment in Math, a test in English, all my teachers wanted me to do the practice CSTs which are REALLY LONG, and on top of that, a social life, not to mention that I got sick about twice, then I burnt myself, then my dad broke his ribs, and then my friend and I got in a fight and had to sort that out. so I didn't have a lot of time. Sorry-I'mBusyPlanningGlobalDomination

Beep!Beep!Beep!Bee-
I slammed my fist down on my alarm clock, since after all, I was already awake. All morning I had been thinking about Adrian's offer and every time, it sounded better and better. I glanced at my clock. 3PM. I still had a half hour before I needed to meet Dimitri, so I could go talk to Adrian and tell him I wanted to accept his offer about 'dating' him. Jumping out of bed I pulled on some gray jogging pants, a pale blue tank top and a zip up gray sweater, and I was ready to go.
I climbed out my window ad ran across the campus to the guest quarters. Adrian's room was on the fourth floor, of the building, or to be more precise, his room WAS the fourth floor. I had been there many times before with Lisa while she practiced spirit, but this was the fist time I was going by myself, or, for that matter, the first time I WANTED to go there.
Thanks to many years of practice climbing up and down walls, I reached the fourth floor in little over five minutes. Unlatching his window, I slipped inside and made my way to his bed. I tried too shake him awake with no avail, so I pushed him off the bed.
"I'm AWAKE! I'M AWAKE GEEZ, THIS HAD BETTER BE GOOD WHY ARE YOU WAKING ME UP AT-'' then he spotted me "oh, hi Rose, what's up?"
I laughed, shaking my head at him, "When are you going to learn Adrian? Anyway, I came to ell you I wanted to accept your offer."
"Well then I guess that makes you my girlfriend little dhampir."
"Okay, bye Adrian, I have to go do training with HIM now, I'll see you tomorrow."

I was walking to practice, dreading seeing Rose again when I walked into Albetra. "HI Alberta." I said, bt she just glared at me as if to say 'How dare you even talk to me after what you did!' But, that really didn't make sense because I had 't DONE anything to her, maybe she is just having a bad mornig, that must be it.
I kept walking to the gym when I heard a scream "I'm AWAKE! I'M AWAKE GEEZ, THIS HAD BETTER BE GOOD WHY ARE YOU WAKING ME UP AT-'' then the voice stopped and said something in a quieter voice, I couldn't hear. The sound following that made me stop walking. It was laughter. Rose's Laughter. Rose's laughter coming from Adrian Ivashokov's room.
Normally, I'm not an eavesdropper, but this was my Roza. In Adrian's Room. I strained to hear their conversation and heard the ending only, "...guess that makes you my girlfriend..." my blood ran cold. Rose was ADRIAN'S girlfriend? GIRLFRIEND? I thought she loved me, obvioously I was wrong. I bet she just went to celebrate the good news that I told her I didn't love her and that she was free to go out with her real boyfriend, the one she actually loved. I thought - well obviously, I was wrong, Roza and I shared nothing. My love was one sided because she loved someoe else.
Knowing this was worse than telling her I didn't love her because I knew I couldn't. I t was one thing to accept and deal with the fact that we wern't able to love one another, the idea that she and someone else could was too much to bear. I wanted to punch something, my control, which had not slipped in ten years- not since the death of my former Moroi- was slipping, just like it had with Roza all those times we kissed. But this was worse, far worse, it was slipping because of anger, not love, well both really, and I couldn't let that happen I t would be too dangerous.
I slammed open the gym doors, seeing Roza there. She could obviously see how angry I was since I didn't even other trying to hide it, bt she chose to ignore it.
"You're late Guardian Belikov." She said it with so much coldness in her voice I flinched.
"Practice is canceled."
"Great, I get up at three in the morning to be told I don't have to get up for another five hours, thanks alot guardian Belikov, Could have said something a little sooner." She stomped to the door.
"Where are you going?"
"To talk with Lissa, If I'm up his early, she can suffer with me, besides I need SOMETHING to do." I really did feel bad about making her angry, but after all, ADRIAN?

"Lissa, get up." I said shaking her, I was really making a record of waking people up at insane times. First Adrian, now Lissa. Hehe, evil Rose.
"Why on earth are you getting me up at... This early? Rose you had better have a good reason for this."
"I need to tell you something." As soon as I said that, she sat up, because thats how good of a friend she is, she would probably wake up at midnight if I needed her to, and I would do the same for her.
"Is something wrong? Are you okay?"
"Its about Dimitri."
"Yeah?" She said, still not understanding.
"Well you see.. he and I... well I kind of..."
"Just say it rose. It can't be that bad."
"Yes, it can actually."
She just sat there with her arms crossed and raised an eyebrow. Could EVERYONE but me do that?
"Okay, we love each other."
I had been expecting her to shout or be angry or at least something, But instead her face split into a huge grin.
"I knew it. I knew there was something going on between you two. I didn't see it at first, then it all clicked. How you never dated anyone anymore, how you stopped being all flirty with every guy you saw, how you could never really get into your relationship with Mason, not to mention the way you look at him."
"You knew?"
"I'm your best friend, its my job to know these kind of things."
"And your not mad or anything?"
"Of course not. you can't help who you love you just do. I kind of wish you had told me sooner, but I knew you would say it eventually, and I can see why you didn't want anyone to know you guys loved each other since no one would accept it."
"That's just the thing though. Loved. Not anymore. He doesn't like me anymore."
"Oh Rose that's horrible! How could he do that to you?"
"It doesn't matter how, it just matters that he did. But I'm going to get him back though he is going to suffer for it."
"How are you going to do that?"
"Adrian."
"That doesn't answer my question."
"You'll see soon enough."
"Well I have something to make you feel better about it."
"What?"
"You know how we had to cancel the christmas dance because of the Badica attack and us going to the ski lodge right?"
"Yeah, what are you saying?"
"Kirova is letting us have it in a week."
"And since when do we go to school-hosted social events?"
"Since they abolished the dress code, added a bar, and had Beonce come to sing for an hour."
"OH MY GOD REALLY?????" I screamed instantly excited that my favorite singer was coming.
"Somebody had better be dying with all the noise you're making, I'm trying to sleep here."Said Christian from the other bed.
"Oh hi Christian I didn't see you sleeping there. How did you sleep here, didn't the matrons come to kick you out?"
"Well ask Lissa about that."
Lissa shifted uncomfortably "Any way I was just telling Rose about the dance to cheer her up.
"Well it quite obviously worked. WHat did she need to be cheered up about?"
"Well.."I said and procceded to tell him the story I had told Lissa only a few moments ago. When I got to the end I started crying and Christian came over and hugged me .
"Guardian is an evil man who deserves to be thrown to a pit full of hungry wolves and then have his bones thrown off a cliff." He said with a completely serious face, but obviously joking, then turning serious he said " Do you want me to light him on fire for you?"
I laughed, not so much because it was funny, but more because he would actually do it. Ever since the attack in Spokane, Christian had become like a brother to me. "No, I don't need you to do that and get in trouble. I do however have a thing that would hurt him more."
"What are you going to do?"
"I'm going to bring back the old Rose, the one that flirts and has fun, and most importantly, I'm going to date Adrian."
"Crazy, yet elegant, I like it rose."
"Thanks, so LIssa, when are we going shopping, my clothes are a little too boring, I think I need some better things if this is going to work."
"Today actually, Alberta is waiting in her office for us."
"Well, I guess we should stop wasting time, If i'm going to do this I need to start before I change my mind."
Okay, I was going to write more, but I think You guys deserve an update so I'm cutting it off here. For future information:
1. Lissa and Rose already know about the ghosts(not all, just the ghosts and the headache that comes with it.)
2. No one else does
