Chapter 4
~Dimitri POV~
I woke up early, well as early as I usually do. I like to spend an hour exercising before I start preparing for my day.
I dreamt of her. I dreamt of her long, silky, brown hair while I tangle my fingers in them. We were having a good time, laughing like we've known each other forever. In my dream, we were pretty close, so close that she was almost sitting on my lap. I liked the feeling but I know I must be crazy. It can't be possible for two things: first, I don't even know who she is or where she lives, and second, she's so beautiful and I'm just, well me. I'm sure there are a lot of guys after her and who am I to win her? Not that I'm planning to, anyway. (haha! Dimka is so oblivious to his hotness lol)
I shook my head, as if it can shake away my thoughts of her, she's practically glued to my head from now on. I put on my work out clothes and headed to the kitchen to grab a muesli bar and a bottle of water. Christian said that they had a gym at the back so I made my way over there and started stretching. After stretching, I went on the treadmill to increase my stamina. A lot of people thinks that running is useless but what are you going to do when you get attacked by someone who is bigger and stronger than you and you don't have any weapon? It's simple: you run.
After about 30 minutes of running on the treadmill, I got off it and did some weights. I worked on my muscles for about 20 minutes then I stretched again to cool down. I put away the equipment I used then I headed back to my room, but I had to pass the kitchen first.
"Good morning, Dimka." My mother, Olena, said while looking up from the eggs she was frying.
"Morning, mama." I answered politely.
"You better hurry up, you only have 45 minutes left before you have to go to school." She reminded me.
"Yes, mama. I'm going to take a shower now."
I went to my room, grabbed a change of clothes and went straight to the bathroom to clean up. After I was satisfied, I hopped off the shower, put on my clothes and went back to my room to fiz my backpack and make sure everything's there. After I was done, I headed to the kitchen to eat some breakfast.
My mother, grandmother, Vik, Christian and Tasha was already eating. "Good morning." I said.
I received a chorus of, "Good morning, Dimka."
My mother handed me a plate full of hotsogd, eggs and toast. I thanked her and ate my breakfast.
Before I knew it, it was time to leave for school.

The bell went and Headmistress Kirova told us to go to the gym for an assembly so Chris and I made our way there. Luckily, Christian and I have almost all of our classes together, except my last period with Professor Alto. I have history with Alto while Christian has culinary science which is a fancy term for a cooking class.
We sat down at the front of the gym where Kirova then addressed us.
"Welcome, year 12's. It is you senior year. The last of year of high school." She started.
"No shit, Sherlock." I heard someone mutter, no not really mutter, I'm sure everyone heard that. That was so disrespectful.
"This is your last chance to make it right, and as for some people," She looked pointedly at someone, "This is your last chance to change your attitude and pay more attention to your studies."
"Through-out this year, there will be important events that you would have to attend. One of them is you ball. This will be held in about 4 months and it is you chance to loosen up and have fun. I just hope it's not too much fun." Students laughed. "There is also the inter-school gathering, where all the year 12's all over the state come together at a party to socialize. And lastly, there's graduation. This year will go by really quickly and before you know it, you will be given your diploma or not. But of course, before it all ends. There will be the final examinations. This examination is the hardest of them all and this will be the one that counts. There are tutors available so if you would like help, come see me whenever you want. Okay, okay. I'm done scaring you. Oh, and one more thing. We have 2 new students joining us this year. They are from Russia and I trust that you would welcome them and make them feel at home. Dimitri Belikov and Christian Ozera, would you please stand up?"
I can't believe she did this. There are at least 500 people in this room. Christian and I stood up and we faced behind us and my eyes immediately landed on her. It's her, the girl from the bookstore. She gasped and immediately, eveyrone around her looked at her in concern. Yeah she is definitely popular but I think only the 4 people seating beside her are her friends, they all talked to her.
Christian and I took a seat.
"Hey, man. You alright?" Christian asked me.
"She's here."
"What? Who?"
"Her. The one from the bookstore."
"The beautiful one, as you put it? Where?"
"Later."
Kirova dismissed us but Christian and I remained seated, we don't want to have to squish with the other 500 students who's trying to leave.
The gym is almost empty and so Christian and I stood up. I dared to look at her but I saw a guy wrapping his arms around her and I can't help but to shrink in disappointment. Our gazes locked but I looked away.
"So, where is she?" Christian asked.
"Never mind. She has a boyfriend."
"Where is she?" he asked again. I jerked my head in her direction and Christian looked at her.
"Ah, I guess she is beautiful but not my type. I liked her blonde friend better."
I looked back at her as she and her friends were exiting the gym, "Good." was the only thing I replied to Christian, not even knowing why I thought him not liking her was a good things. It's not like I'm making a move on her. I won't. She has a boyfriend and I'll never steal someone else's girl.
Aaah, so there it is.
