Chapter 6

I was stacking all my unused textbooks then removing them from the floor when someone knocked.

"Open."

"Hey Rose." Lissa said warily.

"Hey.. You saw?"

"Yeah. I saw her talking with Alberta by the Guardian's Quarters. So I'm guessing you got the talk?"

I sighed.

"Sorry then. I brought something." I didn't even bother see her come in with something. She had a grocery bag in her hand.

"Adrian gave this to me for you about an hour ago. He said you might need it." I watched her took out 4 large cups of ice cream of different flavors, 5 giant bags of chips and a box of assorted chocolates. I looked up at Lissa, she met my gaze then she shrugged. She sat with me on the floor.

I slowly repeated my conversation with my mother in my head. What really is with Adrian and me?

I leaned back in my bed and started eating a chocolate flavored ice cream and fighting the tears it brought me, Adrian got this for me, he knew what I needed. But maybe he did this with every girl he got together with, he's practically swimming with money so every thing he did for me was not even a loss in his wallet.

I hate myself for letting my thoughts bring me lower than what I felt minutes ago. A single tear escaped from my eye, good thing Lissa wasn't able to catch it before I wiped it away.

It was early Friday morning when someone was knocking at my door like it was about to break it down. I sighed then got up, ready to open it. I haven't really got out much from my room, Lissa came here to bring me food mostly from Adrian. They know I don't want to face my mother again. Adrian gave me distance so as not to piss my mother to the max. He didn't even visit my dreams to give me privacy in my sleep. Today is the ball.

I warily opened the door only to see my best friend bouncing in her shoes with a clothing bag on one hand and a bag on the other.

"C'mon Rose, let's get ready."

I just looked at her.

"What are you still doing? .Move"

I could feel her excitement seep through the bond and it's driving me to the edge.

"Lissa, hype down. Breathe. And did you even check the clock before deciding to barge here?"

"Well, maybe I was a little excited….?"

"A little…?" I raised an eyebrow and checked the clock with her, Sake! It's only 7 am.

"Early bird." She muttered before pushing me out of the way. "Okay Rose, my word is law for the day, you don't have the right to object and you are in the life and death situation to follow my orders." She said seriously in front of me.

"And what makes you think I would agree with those conditions?"

"Because I'm your best friend and even though I vowed to myself to never use compulsion on you, I would do WHATEVER-" She emphasized her point by widening her eyes "it takes for this to make this night a ball to remember."

"Who are you and what've you done to my best friend?" I asked shocked.

"Haha Rose Haha…funny." She said grabbing my arm.

"No…I get it."

"Get what?"

"You're on something right? Or worse-" I stopped her and made her face me "Lissa, please tell me you didn't over use your powers again!" I said panicking.

"Cry me a river Rose…No I didn't . Truth be told, I'm just worked up and excited for tonight. It's been long since there had been an exciting even as this. This past year, it's been boring banquets and dinners."

"Okay…okay.." I went to my bed where she laid out the clothing bag before Lissa slapped my hands away from the bag.

"What?!"

"No looking at the bag before ball time."

"Shucks Liss, when did you become no fun?"

"Whatever Rose." She said hanging the bag in the closet. I don't really care whether I see the dress or not, I just want to go through it for Adrian. I sighed. Adrian.

"Now let's get out of here and get something to eat and take a walk."

"Hm-Kay." I said absentmindedly.

We were in the common's room this time, eating our breakfast when Christian sat across from us.

"Yow." He said then winked at Lissa before getting a fry from her plate.

"Hey Chris." Lissa replied blushing.

"My aunt says that the ball better be the best one yet for her to return here."

"Tasha's here?" I asked.

"Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you, we met her Wednesday." Lissa shrugged.

I'm starting to think that this may just be a NIGHT TO REMEMBER. I laughed at my inside joke and nearly choke on a fry while Christian turned red holding back laughter while Lissa patted my back while glaring at Christian.

After a minutes of a mushy staring battle of Lissa and Christian I got up from our table.

"Gotta go before I throw up." I muttered.

"Uh-hm." Lissa replied absentmindedly.

While trudging my way back to my dorm I heard a familiar voice from my far right. Tasha. And she's not alone.

"Yeah, I've been busy, barely catching up today." Dimitri said.

I quickly hid behind the wall of the building near the bench where they were talking. I really am not interested in what ever move Tasha is now trying, I just can't help my curious and thirsty gossiping side. Heheheh. I laughed inwardly.

"So, got any plans tonight?" I saw Dimitri mildly wince at this but Tasha was oblivious.

"I'm on guardian duty tonight at the ball."

"Oh…right, well I'll guess I'll see you later. I'm pulling you out of your work."

Dimitri shrugged. "No worries, it's nice seeing you again." They hugged lightly. And before they went on their separate ways, I quickly ran back to the place I was originally heading. I can't help but feeling sorry for Tasha, but seeing Dimitri again brought me back to my current dilemma.

I threw myself at my bed after running in my room while beating the life out of my pillow.

"Stupid!Stupid!" I screeched as low as quiet as possible. I finally broke down panting and my voice raspy. I decided that I would take a shower to cool myself off and clear my thoughts and mostly my emotions away.
