Hi guys! nice to see you agan-or I guess NOT see you again since its a computer and- oh well, never mind. Enjoy the chapter!
Disclaimer: If I was Richelle Mead, I wouldn't be writing on Fan fiction, If I was Taylor Swift, I would be really happy, but I'm me, and I don't own anything.
Still RPOV
I knocked on Lissa's door.
"Who is it?"
"Rose."
"Okay, come in, but close your eyes."
"Why?"
"It's a surprise."
"Okay..." I closed my eyes and walked in.
"Hey rose whats in the other bag, the one without your dress."
"A surprise." I said copying her words from earlier. It was actually a brilliant idea I had right before I left the mall. I used the excuse of going to the bathroom and bought this, hiding it from the others.
"Okay, you can open your eyes."
When I did, I saw none other than Ambrose, the Queen's personal stylist.
"Lissa, why is the royal court's team of stylists here?"
"Because I thought it would be fun to have them do our makeup and stuff."
"You constantly amaze me."After that, we got to work. Or rather, we sat down while the stylists did the work, we merely told them what we wanted.
Mine was difficult, since I was going to pull off a completely crazy stunt, but It would be worth it. If it didn't go wrong anyway.
Lissa and I had set up lots of effects in the gym when we made the party, including having real fire come up from the stage, a place on the stage with water, and of course thousands of speakers, so the room was like a mix between a nightclub, and a professional stage for singers.
My make up was gold, and I had thigh length black fishnets with black boots that went up to my knees. My earrings were gold hearts and I wore a black dress, which was long and went all the way down to the floor. My hair pas put up into a bun with some strands hanging down, which I curled. Lissa had silver make up to go with her dress and silver stilettos. Lissa used diamond hairpins to arrange her hair, which was in soft waves, and the glistening jewels made her look like she was wearing a crown. As we walked down to the dance, people oohed and aah ed at our outfits. we pushed through the doors and the music blasted in our face.
"Why aren't you wearing your dress that we got, you know the short one?"
"It's a surprise." I said back and we walked over to Christian and Adrian.
The dance had been going on for hours, I danced with Adrian and Lissa, I even danced with Christian for a while before I saw him. I kissed Adrian , again making a show of it.
"I'm going to go sing."
"Okay, have fun."
"You know I will."
I went over to the DJ's table.
"I'm going to go now, okay, remember the effects."
"Okay, I remember." I had showed him exactly what I wanted while Lissa was with christian, and made him repeat it over and over again. After all, everything had to go perfectly.
I hopped up on the stage and grabbed the mic and looked at Dimitri, glared more like, but still looked at him. Th e music started to play and I began to sing.
State the obvious,
I didn't get my perfect fantasy
I realized you love yourself
More that you could ever love me
So go and tell your friends
That I'm obsessive and crazy,
That's fine
I'll tell mine
You're gay,
And by the way,
I hate that stupid old pickup truck,
You never let me drive
You're a redneck, heartbreak
Who's really been a lie
So watch me strike a match
On all my wasted time
As far as I'm concerned,
You're just another picture to burn.
The DJ pressed the button and the fire burst out of the stage all around me, the show was starting.
There's no time for tears
I'm just sitting here planning my revenge
There's nothing stopping me
From going out with all of your best friends
And if you come around saying' sorry to me
My daddy's going to show you how sorry you'll be
I grabbed the lighter and flicked it on.
'Cause I hate that stupid old pickup truck,
You never let me drive
You're a redneck, heartbreak
Who's really been a lie, yeah
So watch me strike a match
On all my wasted time
As far as I'm concerned,
You're just another picture to burn.
I dropped it right on my dress, catching it on fire, I spun in a circle, dancing. I began to smoke, the shower of golden sparks started raining behind me, this would be better than I thought. Then I was engulfed in flames, The black dress burned off, revealing my cheetah one, the black elbow length gloves burst into flames, revealing the spotted ones, and the hair ties I had used, burned off, letting my hair loose, into the style I had planned. The words were about to start again, and I was right on cue.
And if you're missing me
You better keep it to yourself
'Cause coming back around here
Would be bad for your health
'Cause I hate that stupid old pickup truck,
You never let me drive
You're a redneck, heartbreak
Who's really been a lie, yeah
So watch me strike a match
On all my wasted time
In case you haven't heard,
I really, really hate that stupid old pickup truck,
You never let me drive
You're a redneck, heartbreak
Who's really been a lie, yeah
So watch me strike a match
On all my wasted time
As far as I'm concerned,
You're just another picture to burn.
Burn, burn, burn, baby burn.
Just another picture to burn
Baby burn
I glanced again at Dimitri again, who looked shocked that I had set myself on fire, and hurt about what the song said. I smiled, and hopped down to Adrian and Lissa.
"That was awesome Rose." said Adrian
"so THAT'S why you had the black dress, I was wondering." said Lissa
Christian just laughed "And you call me fire boy?"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, I was awesome I know. Okay, BY my schedule it's time to go flirt with every other guy I see, so bye."
"Are you sure you aren't taking this too far?"
"Positive."
I wandered around, trying, to attract eyes, which seriously wasn't hard. All the guys were practically lining up to be with me.
I was getting really worn down after an hour or so, so I want outside to breathe.
"I'm sorry Roza."
"Yeah, well, I don't care. In case you haven't noticed I'm with Adrian, not you. so Goodbye Belikov."
I turned on my heels and walked back in.
"Hey LIssa, you know what would be cute? I want to see you sing something. "
"No way."
"I'll sing with you."
"Fine. pick a song."
"Hot and cold."
"I hate you."
"Fine, fifteen, by Taylor Swift."
"I love her."
"I know, now come on."
You take a deep breath and you walk through the doors
It's the morning of your very first day
You say hi to your friends you ain't seen in a while
Try and stay out of everybody's way
It's your freshman year and you're gonna be here
For the next four years in this town
Hoping one of those senior boys will wink at you and say
You know I haven't seen you around, before
I picked up the chourus.
'Cause when you're fifteen and
Somebody tells you they love you
You're gonna believe them
And when you're fifteen feeling like
There's nothing to figure out
But count to ten, take it in
This is life before you know
Who you're gonna be
Fifteen
I could see Lissa getting into the mood, and she started dancing while she sang.
You sit in a class next to a redheaded Abigail
And soon enough you're best friends
Laughing at the others girls
Who think they're so cool
We'll be out of here as soon as we can
And then you're on you're very first date
And he's got a car and you're feeling like flying
And you're mamma's waiting up and you're thinking he's the one
And you're dancing 'round your room when the night ends
When the night ends
'Cause when you're fifteen and
Somebody tells you they love you
You're gonna believe them
When you're fifteen and your first kiss
Makes you head spin 'round but
In your life you'll do things greater
Than dating the boy on the football team
But I didn't know it at fifteen
When all you wanted
Was to be wanted
Wish you could go back
And tell yourself what you know now
Back then I swore I was gonna
Marry him someday
But I realized some bigger dreams of mine
And Abigail gave everything she had to a boy
Who changed his mind
And we both cried
'Cause when you're fifteen and somebody tells you they love you
You're gonna believe them
And when you're fifteen, don't forget to look before you fall
I've found time can heal most anything
And you just might find who you're supposed to be
I didn't know who I was supposed to be
At fifteen
la la la la la...la la la la la...la la la la la
Your very first day
Take a deep breath girl
Take a deep breath as you walk through the doors
The song ended.
"See, not so bad"
"No, not really."
"Come on I'm getting you a drink."
"There is no alcohol at school."
"Well, lets change that."
I dragged her over to Kirova, who was in the same Plaid dress as last time, and it looked just as horrible, if not worse.
"Headmistress Kirova? Can we have alcohol at the party?"
"I don't see why not, here," She pulled out a peice of paper and wrote something down." Give that to Alberta."
"Thank you."
We gave the note to alberta who shook her head in dissaproval, but said some orders to the guardians who came back with carts of Vodka, and other things.
"See, like magic."
"no," said Lissa" Like compulsion"
"That too" I said and grabbed two shots, I took mine and gave her one as well.
She just held it." Come on Lissa, you used to do this all the time, I don't want to do everything alone. It's not a party without you. we used to rule this school, and we will again."
Lissa smiled, and drnk it in one gulp.
"That's my girl," I said handing her another.
"I forgot what it would be like to let loose and have fun, you know, with everything that happened, I forgaot all this."
"Well, lets make you remember." We went out to the dance floor and started dancing with everyone. I even ended up dancing with Jesse, for a second, before I pushed him away and danced with another guy.
"HEy do you want to sing something to christian, I bet he would love it."
"Maybe another drink and then I'll sing."
"You used to sing all the time."
"True..."
"So get up there."
"pushy much?" but she did what I asked.
I've never gone with the wind
Just let it flow
Let it take me where it wants to go
Til' you opened the door
And there's so much more
I'd never seen it before
I was tryin' to fly but I couldn't find wings
But you came along and changed everything
You lift my feet off the ground
You spin me around
You make me crazier crazier
Feels like I'm falling and I
I'm lost in your eyes
You make me Crazier Crazier Crazier
I watched from a distance as you
Made life your own
Every sky was your own kind of blue
And I wanted to know how that would feel
And you made it so real
You showed me something that I couldn't see
You opened my eyes and you made me believe
You lift my my feet off the ground
You spin me around
You make me crazier crazier
Feels like I'm falling and I
I'm lost in your eyes
You make me crazier crazier crazier
Ohhhh
Baby you showed me what livin' is for
I don't wanna hide anymore
Oh Ohh
You lift my feet off the ground
You take me away
You make me crazier crazier
Feels like I'm falling and I
I'm lost in your eyes
You make me crazier crazier crazier
Crazier Crazier
"Aaw, that was cute!" I said as she stepped off the stage.
"Now you have to go."
"Okay!" I said cheerily and hopped up.
It's strange to think the songs we used to sing
The smiles, the flowers, everything is gone
Yesterday I found out about you
Even now just looking at you feels wrong
You say that you'd take it all back, given one chance
It was a moment of weakness and you said yes
You should've said no, you should've gone home
You should've thought twice 'fore you let it all go
You shouldn've known that word
'Bout what you did with her'd get back to me
And I should've been there in the back of your mind
I shouldn't be asking myself why
You shouldn't be begging for forgiveness at my feet
You should've said no, baby and you might still have me
You can see that I've been crying
And baby you know all the right things to say
But do you honestly expect me to believe
We could ever be the same
You say that the past is the past, you need one chance
It was a moment of weakness and you said yes
You should've said no, you should've gone home
You should've thought twice 'fore you let it all go
You shouldn've known that word
'Bout what you did with her'd get back to me
And I should've been there in the back of your mind
I shouldn't be asking myself why
You shouldn't be begging for forgiveness at my feet
You should've said no, baby and you might still have me
I can't resist before you go tell me this
Was it worth it? Was she worth this?
No, no, no, no, no, no
You should've said no, you should've gone home
You should've thought twice 'fore you let it all go
You shouldn've known that word
'Bout what you did with her'd get back to me
And I should've been there in the back of your mind
I shouldn't be asking myself why
You shouldn't be begging for forgiveness at my feet
You should've said no, baby and you might still have me
"you know, I think We're done with that for now." I said.
" Yeah, I agree. More vodka?"
"You bet."
The rest of the night passed without anything really happening. Christian and Adrian had Left, but Lissa and I stayed until ther were only a few people left. We drank alot, but we weren't really drunk, because we were really good at holding alcohol.
That night, when I went to be, I was in one of Adrian's dreams.
"Finally, I was waiting for ages."
"What is it?"
"I just thought you might want to know that Dimitri's aura is PURE green, meaning he is feeling noting but jealous."
"That's great. Hey, do you know why he hates you so much, he did even before you showed an interest in me. And it was more than just because you drink and smoke and have lots of bad stories about you."
"I don't know, maybe he met my father. He did go to Russia alot."
"Oh why?"
"I don't know, but he went year after year until one day when he came back really bruised and beaten up."
"How old were you?"
"Eleven."
"And you are twenty two now?"
"Yeah. why."
I did the math in my head. No Freaking way. I was trying to avoid Dimitri and It turned out I was doing more than just dating a guy with lots of bad rumaors about him, I was dating-
"You and Dimitri are half brothers. Dimitri told me once that he beat up his dad when he was thirteen because he was beating up on his mom every time he came, and Oh My God. You two are related, and you're the son of the person who hurt his mother. No wonder he hates you."
"Interesting. well, bye Rose."
And my dream faded, leaving me with the knowledge that Adrian and Dimirti were related.
I really hate this chapter, I think I did really bad on it. Oh well, I liked the fire dress changing though. All in all not a good chapter.
Press the button if you want to. It makes me happy (:
