"Hey!"
I turn around and see Adrian leaning against a wall.
I smile,"Hey." I reply.
"Where are you going?" he asks.
I laugh,"Um class?" It was pretty obvious were I was going. I was caring books.
"Skip, I'm going to the cemetery, come with me." he says smiling.
I raise an eyebrow," Cause walking around a cemetery is way more fun than class." I say sarcastically.
"If you ask me, yes." he replies," Come on it's the last period I doubt anyone will notice."
I consider this. He's right about anyone noticing. My last class is a Bible class with Mr. Dashkov, the librarian. But he's really old it be a surprise if he does realize I'm missing.
Hanging out with Adrian actually didn't sound that bad. He was nice and funny. But still the idea makes me feel like I'm betraying someone. Dimitri. What! No! I can't be betraying him, he's made it very clear that he doesn't like me as a friend or anything more.
It's been almost a week since our last conversation. The way he answered my question made me feel pathetic for even asking it. So I'm now the one going out of my way to not be near him. But still my some strange anomaly we always end up in the same place.
Unlike before, when I approached him, I just ignore him now. I act like he doesn't exist. I don't want to do it. But I don't want to look like that girl that doesn't get the fact that a guy just isn't into her.
Adrian seeing my hesitation asks," What teacher do you have for last period?"
"Dashkov." I reply.
He laughs out loud," Rose come on that guy is ancient I wouldn't be surprised if he fell asleep midway into his lecture."
I smile," Okay."
We pass by my locker to put away my books and then head off to the cemetery.
"Do we have to go to the cemetery?" I ask," I mean isn't there anywhere else we can go?"
He shakes his head,"Everywhere else has cameras."
I nod and he turns to me,"If you don't want to go anymore we can always just go back to class."
I laugh," I'm already late might as well skip."
He smiles and we keep walking to the cemetery.
"So what exactly are we going to do?" I ask.
He shrugs, "Hang out."
"Because walking above dead bodies is very casual." I say rolling my eyes.
He laughs," I like your attitude it's very positive."
I know he was kidding around but in a way he was right. Usually I'm really sarcastic and have an attitude. But since I got here I've been acting shy. Which really isn't like me.
He walks a little farther and then sits down on a tombstone. I sit down next to him. We spent most of the times having pointless conversations, but it was fun.
We were cracking up over something I don't even remember when he lays a hand on my thigh. I look down at the hand and then back at him. I raise an eyebrow and say, "Someone's moving a little fast."
He shakes his head and then points to something across from us. I look up and see a snake coming our way. Before I have the chance to scream he cups a hand over my mouth. I lift my legs off the ground, balancing on the tombstone, I lay them on his lap.
The snake slithers past us and into a bush. I let out a relieved breathe and turn to Adrian, who was smiling like an idiot.
He looks down at my legs on his lap and then back up at me," Someone's moving a little fast." he says repeating what I said earlier.
I laugh and shove his shoulder playfully. But somehow shoving him playfully ended up with us falling off the tombstone and onto the grass. I fall on top of him and then we both end up cracking up.
By the time we finished laughing I had tears in my eyes. I wipe at them still chuckling quietly when I notice that I'm on top of him.
I'm on top of him!
I make a move to get off of him but he grabs my hips and keeps me in place. I look up into his eyes and couldn't seem to pull myself away from his gaze. Slowly my eyes drifted down to his lips.
They looked so peak and soft. I wonder how they taste.
Without knowing it I slowly started lowering my face to his. I close my eyes, we were so close I felt his breath on my mouth.
"There you guys are!" said a cheerful voice.
I push myself off Adrian and onto the grass. I look up and see Sydney standing there.
"I've been looking for you guys everywhere." she said smiling like she had no idea what she interrupted. But I could see that she knew.
"This is a good place to hide! I spent almost 30 minu-"
"What do you want Sydney." Adrian asks letting out a long exasperated breath. The way he spoked to her, it sounded like they've known each other for a while. Her eyes reflect hurt.
She turns to me ignoring Adrian,"Mr. Dashkov sent me to come look for you." she said and for the first time she didn't sound preppy or happy or excited.
She looked genuinely hurt. Like what Adrian said hurt her. But why would it hurt her? I turn to Adrian and see that he's looking at the ground.
What's going on? Is there something going on with them? I suddenly feel angry. Why is it that every guy I like in this school is somehow connected to this girl!?
I push myself up on my feet and stand up," Okay let's go."
Sydney nods and starts to turn around but I stop her, "Wait a second."
I turn to Adrian who got up on his feet. I grab the back of his neck with one hand and pull him down to me. Pressing our bodies close together I whisper in his ear, loud enough for Sydney to hear," We should finish this one day."
I pull back and wink. I turn around and see Sydney close to tears. A little part of me felt bad. But why is it that she goes after all the guys I like!? She deserves it for acting all angelic but then throwing herself at every guy. I walk past her to class.
We walk into our class which is in the library.
Mr. Dashkov walks up to us.
"Mrs. Hathaway where have you been?" he asks.
I open my mouth to say some excuse but Sydney beat me to it.
"She was in the cemetery. . . with Adrian." she says.
I turn to her. This little snitch. I honestly was about to bitch her out in front of the whole class but then I caught her eye. They were filled with tears she walked away from and I and sat down at one of the computers.
"Mrs. Hathaway I'll let you off with a warning because you're new and I truly do see potential in you."
I nod.
"Go to computer three." he says before walking away.
I walk to the computer and see that Mason is sitting next to me. I smile and sit down in the seat.
"Got caught sneaking around?" he asks laughing.
I groan," I would've gotten away with it too if it weren't for that snitch." I grumble.
"Sydney?" he asks surprised.
"Yeah."
"Oh."
"What?" I ask.
"No, nothing, it's just that she never seemed like a snitch." he says.
"Well she snitched on me."
"What did you do to her?" he asks.
"What do you mean? I did nothing to her, in fact it's her who's doing stuff to me."
"What?" he asks genuinely confused.
I sigh," Nevermind."
Mason nods letting it go.
"So what are we supposed to be doing?" I ask.
"Research our family tree." he replies.
I raise an eyebrow," Am I in the wrong class? I thought this was a Bible class."
He laughs," It is."
"Then why are we learning about our family tree?" I ask.
He shrugs," We're supposed to track our family's religion. See how often each generations religious views change."
I laugh," That doesn't seem to hard, as far as I know my family isn't religious."
"Well how many generations back do you think they haven't been religious."
I shrug," Um my grandparents."
"Well we're supposed to go back 6 generations." he says.
"What!? I don't even know my great grandparents names!"
He laughs," That's what the computer is for."
I nod and turn on my computer. Looking up I catch a glimpse of beautiful brown hair. Dimitri is sitting on the other side of the room. And sure enough Sydney was next to him. He looked pissed. And she looked close to tears. I resist the urge to roll my eyes. What a baby.
Is she really going to go to one guy she's hitting on and complain about how another was almost about to kiss me. He wasn't cuddling her at least, no he looked to pissed.
He looks up and catches my gaze. He stares at me, and his eyes actually soften. But unlike every time before when he was the first one to look away. I pulled my gaze away from him first and looked down at my computer.
The thought of doing some assignment on my family didn't interest me a bit. But despite the fact that I wanted nothing to do with him, Dimitri's family interested me.
Before I could stop myself I was typing the name in google.
Dimitri Belikov.
