Okay, okay, okay I know I'm at fault for being so late in updating

but my summer was so fun that I couldn't say no right? I mean I did so many things
that I don't normally do during the times I'm in school and doing projects and whatever.
And also because it was my b-day back on Wednesday the 18th of this month and I wanted to put up a chapter; but me and some of my girlfriends got tipsy?
But also because believe it or not I had writers block for some reason, I mean I have the story all planned out but the middle part which is like three chapters long was being all blotchy and stuff, but now I'm good to go so I'm updating and I promise the next chapter is already being written as I speak so bare with me

And as usual no, I don't own Vampire Academy. Richelle Mead does

But if she could just lend me Adrian or Dimitri or Christian for a while I'll be grateful

Enjoy!

Chapter 6
The Thought of It All

"Are you sure you're okay?"

Asked Adrian for the millionth time while he was walking me back to my room.

"Yes Adrian, I'm one hundred percent sure that I'm okay. Why do you keep asking me that?"

"Because" He stopped walking and turned to face me and softly wiped the trail of tears that were on my cheek with his thumb. "This doesn't look like you're okay"

I looked at him and the look in his eyes told me that I could trust him, but I didn't know him.

My life, it's secret.

Only the people I'm close too, that I trust with everything I have; know all of me.

And this guy, who seems to be a comforting appearance doesn't. And I don't want to take that leap, not just yet.

"I get it" He said

I looked at him questioningly "Get what?"

"I get that you don't trust me. You just met me" He nodded his head. "I understand Rose, don't worry about it"

"I'm sorry" I said, and I don't know what I was apologizing for

He just shook his head with a small smile on his lips.

"I told you not to worry about it"

"Thanks" was all I said

"You're welcome" and his smile got bigger

We continued to walk and in comfortable silence and I liked it. I didn't feel weird, it wasn't awkward at all.

"Rose" I heard someone say my name from behind and turned around.

"Christian?"

He looked at me and then at Adrian and had a weird angry look in his eyes.

"What are you doing here?" I said

"I went looking for you after you ran out. Are you okay?" He asked in a worried tone

I looked at Adrian and he just looked down at me and smiled. And that smile made me create one of my own.

"Yeah" I said to Christian without even looking at him; still staring at those emerald green eyes that gave me clarity.

"I'm okay thanks to Adrian"

And Adrian just kept looking down at me, and no matter what I didn't want to look away, I was so completely mesmerized.

"Uhmm"

I turned and looked at Christian in disapproval

"You're still here?" I said in an irritated tone

Christian looked at me and shock dominated his features.

"I just want to take you back to my room so we could talk Rose"

I sighed and looked at Adrian

"I'm sorry Adrian, I gotta go. Thanks though, ya know for helping me"

He just waved it off.

"No worries Rose. Maybe some other time we could sit down and get to talk and know each other more"

"Doubt it" I heard Christian mutter under his breathe but I ignored it and nodded to Adrian.

"Yeah, I'd like that very much Adrian"

He smiled such a charming smile and took my hand and pressed it to his lips to kiss it and that just increased my heart rate.

"Goodnight Rose"

He nodded to Christian and walked back the way we came.

"Goodnight" I said in a dreamy voice while looking at his retreating figure

"Hey" Christian said in a disapproval tone and I looked up at him and saw that his eyes looked sad. Why?

"What?" I said in a tone matching his

"What were you doing with that guy?"

"I don't think that's any of your concern Christian"

"Yes, I think it is my concern Rose"

"Uh no, last time I checked you're not my boyfriend, and I'm free to talk to whomever I want"

After I said that I started walking away from him

"Rose wait!"

He grabbed my arm and pulled me to him

"Let go or I will kick your sorry ass. What the hell is your problem Christian?"

"I just don't get a good vibe from him. I don't like him"

He pulled me closer to him, his face closer to mine and I pushed him away.

"He doesn't get a good vibe from him?" I thought. "Men are so stupid I wonder how they even survive"

"You don't even know him" I said raising my voice

"And I don't think I like your jealousy considering you're dating my best friend" I said in a calm voice.

That look again. He was looking at me like I was crazy or something.

"What are you talking about?" He said

"You know what I'm talking about Christian. Just because we had something for a couple of months before you even dated Lissa doesn't mean you have the right to think you can control the guys I talk too"

"That's not true and you know. Rose I'm just telling you what I'm getting from that dude that's all. I'm not jealous"

I walked back to him my lips a couple of inches away from his

"Prove it then" I said poking his chest "Kiss me"

"What?"

I know I shouldn't be saying these kinds of things to my best friend's boyfriend but I'm so sick and tired of him thinking that he can get in my business.

"Go ahead and kiss me"

He was looking at me, debating whether I was being realistic or just plain stupid.

I guess the first won because he put his arms around my waist and gripped it hard, pulling me closer to him. His lips so close to mine. No.

So I pushed him away. HARD.

I shook my head. "I'm gonna pretend that this never happened. And you're just gonna walk away, back to your dorm and if someone asks, no, you didn't find me"

I turned around sand started walking away but I heard him run after me and he pulled me by the arm and turned me to look at him.

"I'm sorry" He said in a soft voice.

I shook my head "Liar" I whispered

I shrugged out of his grip and walked back to my dorm.

"How could that be possible" I thought to myself

I just shook my head, trying to clear my thoughts and walked back faster to my dorm.

I opened the door that had my name on it since freshman year in script, courtesy of me and walked into my room. It's just like I left it.

My room was the size of a normal studio apartment. I had a nine drawer dresser, a long length mirror above it screwed into the wall, the flat screen in front of my bed (also screwed into the wall), a bedlike sofa next to the window that opens up to the balcony. My walls are painted grape. My giant poster of Hedley, Iron & Wine, Paramore, Fall Out Boy, Metric. All hanging around. My laptop on my bed. Yeah, just how I left it. I made my way to my bed and sat down on it, removed my special ordered knee length boots from Hot Topic and laid on my bed closing my eyes.

I opened my eyes and saw light come into my room. What time is it? I looked at my alarm clock and saw that it as eight o'clock in the morning? Damn! I must've fallen asleep. I jumped out of bed and ran to the bathroom to jump into the shower. When I'm done with getting ready I look at myself in the mirror. My hair's still damp but with a small amount of gel applied to curl it, around my neck is a punk rock hello kitty necklace that Lissa gave me last year, my rubber black bracelets, my nails are still nail polish purple, my one piece shorts outfit, with my all black converse. Add some lip gloss, and eye liner and I sprint out of my room with my cell and keys in my pocket and head to the cafeteria with only ten minutes to munch down on some breakfast before first period starts at nine o'clock.

I hear the second bell ring and I take my chocolate donut and soda to go before I'm later to A.P. World History with Mrs. Karmack and then I'll def. get detention.
And that'll suck, to spend my first day back in class doing after school detention.

But it doesn't happen. I made it in time as the third and last bell rang. I go and sit next to Mason just as Mrs. Karmack walked in and went to her desk in the front of the class.

I heard Mason chuckle and I looked at him.

"What?" I said

He shook his head with a small smile playing on his lips "Late again I see Rose"

I pouted and took a bite of my donut.

"Shut up" I said and he chuckled.

Mrs. Karmack looked at me and shook her head, turning her attention to the board, writing today's lesson. After hearing the brief "Welcome Back to School" speech and the questions on the lesson of the Civil War, I was wishing that the bell would ring faster. But every time I looked at the clock, it was nowhere near close. So I tuned it all off.

I started to day dream. I was at a Paramore concert. Meeting Hayley Williams, I was singing Decode, Ignorance, or That's What You Get.
Meeting Josh Farrow and him teaching me how to play Ignorance on his guitar.

I sighed.

Yeah, that would be the ultimate dream of rise to fame that could come true.

"Ms. Hathaway!"

I jerked out of my perfect dream staring in the eyes of a very angry Mrs. Karmack.

"Yes, Mrs. Karmack?"

But before she could ask me anything…the bell rang and I smiled at her and rushed out of class.

Mason and Eddie caught up to me and we walked to our next class. Mason with his arms around my shoulder, Eddie chuckling right next to me?

"What?" I said.

Eddie shook his head. "Nothing. You broke your record ya know.

I looked at Mason and he was nodding his head, smiling.

"Yeah Rose, how quickly your broke your record" Mason said

Now I was thinking if they lost their minds

"What record?" I said frustrated.

"Your record for spacing out in class" Said Eddie as Mason burst out laughing.

"Yeah , I mean come on it wasn't even fifteen minutes into the period and you were so far along gone I was wondering how Mrs. Karmack didn't notice right away" said Mason.

I shook my head and laughed, playfully slapping both their chests.

"You guys are seriously retarted" and they just laughed

"Alright guys I'll see you later in English okay?" said Eddie as he left Mason and I to go to his next class.

"Bye Eddie"

We entered class and when I looked around I saw Christian and didn't even bother to say hi, I just shook my head and kept looking around, seeing who I was in class with this year.
And that's when I saw him.

Dimitri.

"Hey Mase I-" I turned around and he wasn't next to me anymore, I saw him talking to Christian.

"When did he leave?" I thought to myself

I just shrugged to myself and walked to where Dimitri was sitting. His back was facing me (wow he had great muscles) the black shirt he was wearing hugged him in all the right places and his hair was in a small ponytail, but I could see the little piece of hair that escaped. I shook my head and went around his desk to see him better.

He looked up and smiled at me.

Now…without the moonlight getting in my way, his chocolate brown eyes…

"So how's your first day so far?" I said quickly before I could keep thinking anymore stupid stuff involving this hot sexy guy in front of me.

He shrugged and crossed his arms over his muscle toned chest, leaning back into his chair, looking up at the ceiling.

"Classes here are good, teachers are okay I guess, but the girls are weird"

I laughed.

"Am I included in that weird girl category?"

He smiled and shook his head. "No Rose, you're in a category that's all just for you"

I blushed and smiled. "Thanks"

"So, why are the girls weird again?" I asked in an attempt to distract myself from his comment, and also to make that stupid blush go away.

"Oh, because they all look at me the way they look at my brother. And they blush when I walk by, and they giggle. It's weird"

I laughed. "Maybe they have school girl crushes on you?"

He smiled and then I felt someone's arm around my shoulder and looked to see, it was Mason.

"Hey Mase"

"Hey. Are you and Chris fighting?"

"No. Why?"

He shrugged. "No reason"

I just rolled my eyes.

"Anyway, Mase meet Dimitri Belikov"

"Dimitri, Mason Ashford. But to all who know him he's Mase"

"Nice to meet you Mason" he said after he shook his hand.

"New here?" Mason asked.

Dimitri nodded

"Cool, so anything you need don't hesitate dude"

"Thank you"

Mason nodded.

"Rose, you have like about three minutes to hurry up and find your seat before Mrs. Spencer comes in. You know how she is with you"

Mason laughed and walked away making Dimitri look at me questioningly.

"It's a long story" I said "But I'll see you later Dimitri"

He nodded and I looked around the room for an empty desk available and I think the universe must like my awkward situation status because the only seat available was right next to Christian.

So I took it. Might as well fight with the universe too since I fight with everyone who gives me shit of a bad time.

"Rose I-"

I shook my head. "I don't wanna do this right now Christian…please" I whispered.

Then Mrs. Spencer entered the room.

So okay the woman doesn't like me, but only because she might've heard me saying one day back in freshman yea that "If she became an A.P. Algebra teacher is because she didn't get laid enough in college" Okay so fucked up I know, but come on! I have strong assumptions. And isn't it weird that the woman holds a grudge since freshman year, and I'm now a senior?

"Good Morning class"

"Morning Mrs. Spencer"

And after that I tuned it all of…again.

I was looking at Dimitri.

Tall.

Russian.

Muscular.

The brown eyes.

The lips…

Jolted by the sound of the bell I sighed in relief, still did I really daydream for a whole hour? Okay that's a problem.

"Rose" Dimitri said.

"Yeah?"

"Do you know where I can find the Psychics lab?"

"Uh yeah. That's my next class so I could walk you there. I just gotta stop by my locker first. You don't mind right?"

"No, no. that's okay"

"Alright just hold on one sec and I'll be right back"

I ran to Christian and Mason who were waiting for my outside the classroom.

"Guys I'll catch you later. I'm walking with Dimitri to my next class"

Mason nodded and then I caught Christian giving Dimtri a cold glare. Though I don't think Mason noticed.

"What the hell?"

"Bye" I said to Christian and Mason took the hint. He grabbed Christian by the arm and dragged him off…

I'm a huge Paramore fan! I mean I haven't been to a concert but one day when

I get the chance I'm gonna go and meet Josh! He's super cute!

Anywayz onto the serious A/N...

Okay I know that's where it's gonna get interesting.

But i hoped you liked this chapter, I didn't know how it would've turned

out having Christian as a secret crush for Rose but it pans out because of his attitude.

After this chapter you readers and Rose will find out some stuff…good? bad?

Only I know so review and thanks so much
