It was the first day of school, I stood wrapped in a towel staring down at my uniform as it laid across my bed. I sighed, I wasn't really prepared for school, I had spent the past two days wallowing in my room only coming out when I was hungry to the point that I was convinced my stomach was about to start eating itself. I pulled off the towel and goose bumps broke out across my body as the cold air hit me, wrapping my hair up to my uniform wouldn't get wet I got dressed. 'Might as well try and make a decent impression,' I thought with a shrug. That much I could at least control. I sat in front of my vanity and put on makeup, I didn't have to put any coverage on my face seeing how my skin always seemed to be flawless, but I expertly applied my eye make-up making my eyes look bigger and adding a smoky effect that screamed hot. I applied some lip gloss and started brushing out my hair and blow-drying it, when I was certain my hair was dry I began curling it, when I was done my mission was complete. My uniform wasn't as bad as I had myself expecting, it was mostly black, there was a gold crest of the school sewn into the breast of the blazer and the blazer hid most of the vest which was a deep red. The rest of the uniform was solid black, they didn't seem to really have a preference of shoes so I bought a pair of black boots to wear, they came up to mid-calf. My make-up made me look amazing, and my hair fell in soft ringlet curls down around my shoulders. I put in some drop earrings that had small black crosses on the end and put on a few rings, all silver.

I got up grabbing my bag and headed down to the kitchen. Elizabeth just finished making coffee and toast as I walked in. "Morning Rose, you look very nice dear." She said smiling, I really do like her, she reminds me of what a classic grandmother would act like, or maybe she reminded me of a mother who was just older, I don't know. Abe was in his usual morning spot at the table with his coffee and toast already in front of him, although unlike most mornings he didn't have his laptop in front of him, instead he just had some papers which on the corner of one had the schools crest.

I sat down across from him and Liz sat my toast and coffee in front of me, and leaving the kitchen. I began to eat not bothering to try to talk to Abe, I thought I wasn't a morning person, but he's really not a morning person.

"Do you have everything you need for school?" He asks, I looked up surprised mid bite of my toast, I finished biting a piece of toast off and nodded my head at him.

"Good, as soon as your finished eating I will be taking you to school, I have your class schedule here if you would like to look at it." He sighed sliding the paper over to me. I snatched it up and looked at it quizzically, I didn't really know too much about the school (except that they had a pretty decent uniform) and I hadn't really asked.

1st period—study of art

2nd period—buissnes theory

3rd period—current world history

4th period—choir (music theory)

* one hour lunch break, will be permitted to leave campus, but please return on time *

5th period—trigonometry

6th period—English composition

7th period- *has yet to be selected*

I looked up at him quizzically, "It looks like a high school schedule."

"I know, I thought maybe it would be easier running on a schedule that you were used to, but they actually have a great educational program, especially with their buissnes course.

"What's this 'has yet to be selected' thing down here?" I asked pointing to the paper.

"That is for a class of your choosing, the others are courses I have selected."

"Well if that's the case, why did you select choir?" I asked, straight confused by this choice.

"If you remember, one of my conditions was that you got involved in school, I thought this would be a good way to get you started in that direction, you of course are free to change some of your classes, but I suggest you wait a few weeks before you decide to do that." He stared pointedly at me.

"Fine, let's just go and get this over with." I sighed out grabbing my bag off the floor, it was a cute backpack I got from victoria's secret pink, and it was just big enough to carry the small Acer notebook the school required all students to have with them.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

The campus was huge, but it was a nice normal looking campus. There was even a church here for the students who wanted to come and praise God in the free time. I was walking to my sixth period on the east side of campus, the last period was horrible and left me with a headache, I had a strong feeling that this period wasn't going to be any better. I walked into the huge room that had row after row of desks and they were all tiered. With the teacher's desk in the center of the ground floor and a huge blackboard behind the desk, it was identical to every room I had been in so far, well except for my art course.

I walked up and grabbed a seat in the back, putting my bag on the desk to mine, most classes here had about a row or two that were empty I noticed, which was nice because that meant I got a little bit of space from everyone. But the day would be looking up in about forty-five minutes when the class ended; since I haven't selected anything for my seventh period I was free to leave the campus. Other students started filing in after one another, most going to the front and working their way up; only a few stragglers chose to sit in the back like myself.

The professor walked in an automatically began the droning. I pulled out my Acer when she instructed the class to; they expected us to type notes. I pulled up the Internet and began browsing different sites, but after doing this in most my classes it has gotten boring. I looked up and noticed a girl a few rows down from me; her name was Analleise, I met her when I was leaving for my hour break, she was trying to convince me to join their dance team. She said she had noticed that I had yet to pick a course of study for my seventh period. I shook my head at the thought and went back to looking up random things on the computer.

Finally the professor announced the end of class and I jumped up grabbing my stuff and took off. Walking outside I pulled out the phone Abe had given me and called Liz to pick me up. I walked over to a bench underneath a tree and sat waiting. God I couldn't wait to get home!

"Hey, its Rose Hathaway, right?" I looked up to see a pretty hot guy standing at the end of the bench, he was no where near good looking like Dimitri, but then again most couldn't compare to him. The thought made me go from bored to bored and down.

"Yeah," I answered him and looked away, not interested in talking to anyone.

"You mind if I sit here?" He asks. I shook my head at him, and he sat down next to me. He was quiet for a few minutes, looking around at the scenery. "So, I noticed that you don't seem to be talkative today, I don't know if you noticed me, but I couldn't help but notice you." Wow, that has to be one of the most brilliant pick up-lines I've ever heard, I thought to myself sarcastically. "This is a small town and most people that go to high school here end up at this campus, but I know for a fact that you didn't go to our high school so you don't know anyone, but you know it couldn't hurt to actually try and attempt to be friendly and talk to some people. You know, you're already getting the reputation as the hot, weird, loner girl." He said smiling, but still not looking at me.

"Why do you care?" I ask.

"I don't really, but my sister asked me to talk to you, she also wants me to try to convince you to join the dance team." He turned finally looking at me, and I knew who his sister was instantly, but they looked nothing alike. He had dark brown hair cut short but was still long enough that he got that 'just rolled out of bed hair' and had clear blue eyes, he was tall too I noticed before he sat down, the same height as Dimitri. His sister, Analleise was the complete opposite of him, she had bleach blonde hair, and dark brown eyes, and was a few inches shorter than me, with pale skin unlike his tanned skin.

"I don't have any intentions of joining the dance team, I've never danced, and I'm not the 'dancer type'," I replied back to him.

"Well what type are you then?" he asked.

"I don't know…" I said after a few minutes, I really don't have a clue as to what I want to do.

"Well then, the way I see it, my sister wants you to join, she says you have to have been a dancer because of the way your body is build; and you don't know what you want to do… so why not join and when you make up your mind you can just drop it." He's staring at me like he's trying to figure something out, or maybe he thinks that if he acts interested in me that I'll join, he's good looking enough that his sister probably thought I'd listen to him. But it wasn't his looks that made me consider possibly joining, it were is words. Behind that pretty face he was actually smart, what he said makes sense, she's be happy and would stop hounding me, Abe would think I'm trying to get more involved in school, and once I've figured out if I want to do something else I could just drop the whole dancing thing. I mean it's not like I'm a bad dancer, it's just that my dance knowledge consists of the body grinding moves you see most people doing at parties.

I shrugged, "Sure, why not." I said; he smiled at me and stood up putting his hands in his pockets.

"Well practice starts tomorrow, six thirty, guess I'll see you there Rose Hathaway, don't disappoint." He said walking away. I went back to waiting for Liz to show up when it dawned on me, 'he just said he'll see me there, oh god, what kind of dance team has a hot guy like that dancing for them, I wonder what I just got myself into…'
