"Rosemarie Hathaway!" The attendant called.

I shot up from my seat and walked to the desk.

"It's Rose." I said simply.

"Here's your key you're in room B3 in the girls dorm." she said ignoring my question.

"Um-where is that?" I ask.

She looks slightly annoyed but then looks around the office. Right at that moment a girl walks in.

"Lissa! Can you show Rose here to the girls dorm." she says.

The girl nods,"Wait what about my bags?" I ask her.

"Oh, they're already in your room." she says.

I nod and follow her down the hall. The girl, Lissa, had medium length blonde hair and jade green eyes.

"So what you in for?" I ask.

"Do I have to be here for something? Can't I just attend this school to learn?" she asks sarcastically.

I laugh," I would say yes if this wasn't one of the most prestigious schools for troubled teens."

She shrugs," Doctors diagnosed me as a klepto."

"Are you?" I ask.

"A klepto? No." she says.

"What about you? What are you in for?" she asks.

"apparently I'm a pyromaniac." I say looking away. I didn't like talking about this.

"Why? You light someone on fire?" she says laughing.

When I don't say anything her laughing died down.

"Holy Shit. You did?"

I didn't like getting into this but I didn't want her to think I lit someone on fire.

"No uh- this summer, in my old boarding school, I um" I take a deep breath," I was dating this guy, Jesse, and one night we went to a party in one of the dorms. We decided to go for a walk afterwards. He-uh- we kissed and the next thing I know he was on fire. I have absolutely no idea how it happened. He smoked so I assumed he probably lit himself on accident with a bud or something but the police thought it was me. They thought I lit him on fire."

Lissa was quiet for a second," Is he dead?" she asks.

"Yeah."

"How were you not charged with anything?" she says.

I shrug," My parents took care of it so I don't really know. All I know is that I have to go here, I have to see the counselor once a week, and that I was diagnosed as a pyromaniac."

She nods," Well if it makes you feel any better you're not the only pyro in this school." I laugh at that, there's probably potential murders in this school let alone other pyromaniac.

We walk out of the main building and into the courtyard.

"We only have about 30 minutes till class starts, you should change into something more presentable." she says pointing at my clothes.

I had to wake up at 1:30 to take my plane from Florida to Montana, I was way to lazy to put any effort into my outfit so I had on sweat pants, a sweater, converse, and my hair was up in a messy bun.

"I must look like a bum to anyone who's already seen me." I say laughing.

She shakes her head and was about to say something when someone spoke else spoke, "Nah, in fact you look sexy as hell."

I turn around to the building were the voice came from, it was the boys dorm.

A figure stepped out of the shadows,"What do you want Adrian?" Lissa says.

I study him and see that they had the same jade green eyes," Are you guys related?" I ask Lissa.

"Um- yeah we're cousins, but we're not particularly close." she says.

He walks up to us and smiles at me,"I'm Adrian."

I nod,"Rose."

"Well Rose you should be hurrying along now classes start in 25."

Lissa grabs my arm and pulls me away from him and to the girls dorm.

"Why don't you like your cousin?" I ask her curiously.

She takes a second to reply,"He's bad new Rose. Whatever you do don't get involved with him."

"You've made that mistake before.", She mumbles under her breath.

I've made that mistake before? I don't even know the guy.

We get to my room and sure enough my bags were already there.

"What should I wear?" I ask unzipping my bag.

She gets down on her knees beside me and pulls out an outift. It was a jean shirt, black skinny jeans, and black combat boots. I changed and quickly painted my nails red to add some color to the outfit. I took my hair down from the bun so know it flowed in loose curls till my waist. Since I didn't put any makeup on this morning I put some mascarra on and red lipstick.

When I'm done I pick up my mint colored jansport backbag and follow Lissa out the door. We quickly pass by her room so she can get her bag and then we go down to the courtyard.

From the courtyard was right outside the main school building. It was packed with people. Lissa and I sit down on one of the benches and wait for the bell.

I look around and notice that a good 80% of these people looked mentally disturbed. On one side of the courtyard I saw a girl put on black lipstick.

"Goth." Lissa whispers.

I nod and look on the other side of the courtyard. There was a group of guys huddled together passing around what looked like a cigarette, I know what it really was though.

"Crackheads." Lissa says.

I laugh," You do know your cousin is in that group." I say pointing at Adrian.

She nods," Crackhead" she repeats.

Which only makes me laugh more untill I saw him.

Across the courtyard, he was leaning against a tree arms crossed over his chest.

He's gorgeous.

He has dark hair that came and inch above her shoulders, tan skin, and is really tall 6'6, 6'7 probably.

For a split second I could picture myself wrapped in his arms. I quickly shook her head. That's impossible, I don't even know this guy.

He was talking to a guy almost as tall as him. He had dark black hair and blue eyes.

"So it seems Dimitri Belikov has attracted your attention." Lissa says bringing me out of my haze.

I look up and see her looking at the guy standing next to him.

"Well it looks like someone else got your attention." I say.

She blushes and looks away,"Chrisitan Ozera, fellow pyromaniac." she says after composing herself.

I nod and look back at Dimitri. He looks up and catches my gaze. His eyes visibly widened. His eyes are a deep chocolate-brown and he looks so familiar.

I recognize him from somewhere. I can't put my finger on it, but I know him.

He smiles a full smile at me and warmth spread through my entire body. My lips started to turn up into a smile when he raised his hand up in the air.

And flipped me off.

My breath catches in my throat and I look down at my feet.

How embarrassing! He probably thinks I'm a freak or something.

"What's wrong?" Lissa asks.

"Nothing." I say right as the bell rang.

I get up and follow Lissa inside the building. She was trying to tell me to meet up with her at lunch since we don't share any classes together. But I honestly wasn't listening to her. I was thinking about him, Dimitri. At first I wanted to talk to him, it feels like I've seen him before. But now all I want to know is what the hell is his problem?

I started to get pushed into the building by the crowds of people. I took one last glance back. His face was emotionless but there was no denying it, he was watching her leave.
