So I thought I should reply to some review!(: Someone asked if I'm going to watch VA when it comes out. Damn right I am! I was planning on going opening night. But it seems there isn't any midnight premiers where I live. is it just me or is that for everyone? Please let me know.

I know a lot of people asked if I'm copying everything directly from the book and just changed the names. I've said before that I was going to put my own little twist on the story and I hope you have noticed that I have recently. You can't really tell in the beginning but I'm sure you can tell in the previous chapter and this one are very different from the book.

Also someone complained about Rose being too nice and shy. I agree with you 100%. So in this chapter I gave Rose a bit more of an attitude. Tell me what you think! (:

I was finishing up some homework in my dorm when I heard a knock on the door.

"Come in." I say

I hear the door open and then close," You know you really shouldn't do that. This place is filled with psychos." said the voice.

A smile creeps up on my lips and I turn around to face Mason.

"I'm sure I can take on a few of these psychos." I reply.

He laughs,"No doubt."

"Watcha' doing here?" I ask.

"Came to talk about the project." he says simply.

I grab a bottle of water from my mini fridge,"What about it?"

I open the bottle and take a sip,"Well I can help you find some information on Dimitri Belikov." he says.

I almost choke on the water,"What?" I manage to say.

"I saw you stalk him all day yesterday in class." he says.

"I was not stalking him!"

"Sure, investigating, right?" I don't reply.

" Look I'm being serious, I'm just about as curious as you. Not as desperate though I would never resort to googling him." he says chuckling.

I glare at him. But I honestly wanted to know more. I didn't really search him up yesterday. I typed his name multiple times but always ended up deleting it. This process continued throughout the entire class.

"Fine, but where would we learn about him." I ask.

He shows me a key.

"A key?", I ask," What is a key going to do?"

"This key opens the office records." he says.

"They gave you a key?" I ask.

"I already told you my dad is the principle, and I'm the only student without a track record so they have no option but to trust me."

I nod," I don't know though Mason, sneaking into the office records seems a bit stalkerish."

"Don't worry Dimitri already thinks your his stalker so its not a big deal."

I give him a dead-panned face," Gee thanks."

He laughs," I'm kidding Rose. And it's not like anyone will see us anyways. It's behind one of the buildings, no one goes back there unless they're going to the office records. So we might have to look out for staff but definitely not students."

I sigh" Okay let's go."

Mason leads me across the campus, behind the main office building, and towards the office records. The way they made this building was actually really confusing. The office records is behind the main office. But there is no door that leads to it. If you want to go to the office records you're going to have to walk around the main building.

We walk around the building and sure enough there was a single door against the brick wall. Mason pulls out the key and unlocks the door. He pushes it open and we both walk in.

It was dark. Really dark. If someone was to wave their hand in front of my face I wouldn't see it.

"Oh, hold on." Mason says.

It only take a second before he flicks a switch and there's light. I then notice the room is filled with filling cabinets. They were all lined up around the room, with a small table and two seats in the middle.

"That's a lot of records." I mutter.

"They're all the records since the school opened." he says.

That makes sense there is way to many filling cabinets. Honestly our current student population can probably fit in one filling cabinet.

"So where's his file?" I ask.

"Um- I don't know." he says sheepishly.

"How do you not know?" I ask.

"I haven't been in here for a while so I don't remember how they arranged things."

I huff and walk to the first cabinet, I pull open the top drawer and took out a random file.

Adams, Matthew

I pull out another random one from the same drawer.

Anderson, Layla

"Okay, well it looks like it's going in alphabetical order by the last name." I say.

I move down to the next filling cabinet. I pull out the first file.

Baker, Allison

So this one is B's. I go down one drawer and sure enough I fond the file with Belikov, Dimitri written on it.

I turn around and see Mason sitting in one of the chairs. I lay the file on the table and sit down in the other chair.

Mason frowns," Are you sure that's it?"

I point to the top left hand corner where the name was printed.

"It just seems really thin." he says.

I open the file, he was right it was thin but only because there was one picture and one photo. The photo was attached to the single sheet of paper by a paperclip. I looked down at the picture and smile.

"That's weird." Mason says.

"What? "I ask pulling my attention away from the photo.

"That photo was from sophomore year. And he looks exactly the same."

I shrug and look down at the paper.

"Parents: unkown." I say.

Mason looks down at the paper and then points at something," Guardian: Dade county orphanage."

"Dade county?" I ask.

"Yeah, what about it." he asks.

"Nothing it's just- that's in Florida."

"That's it on personal stuff." he says," The rest is his criminal record."

To say his criminal record was pathetic is an understatment. It was all stupid things like vandalism, loitering, jaywalking. Nothing that should sent you to a place like this.

"Please take a set." A voice echos through the room.

I look at Mason confused.

"It's my dad's office, it's right over this room.", he says whispering.

"Can he hear us from up there, I mean we can hear him so?"

"I don't know just be quiet."

We stay silent for a minute then hear a door open.

"Mrs. Burk can you please bring me the file for this student?" the voice, Mason's dad, says.

"Oh, okay sir." the other voice says.

Mason pulls me up from my seat.

"She's coming down here! Give me the file I'll put it away you go." he says.

I look at him and then down at the file. I regret looking at Dimitri's file. There wasn't much in their but it was his personal information. I would hate for someone to look through my file. Handing Mason the file I turn on my heel and run out of the door.

As I round the corner of the building I freeze. Standing there was none other than Tasha.

"Someone looks guilty." Tasha says with a harsh laugh," What are you up to?"

I stay quiet. Was she following me or something? She was leaning against the building as if she was waiting for me this whole time.

"I have a question, it might sound a little random. Are you still stalking, I mean going after Dimitri?" she asks.

"You know you should leave him alone. I mean it seems bad things alway happen to the guys you go after. Just like- oh what was his name? Jamie? Jason?"

Jessie.

How does she know? Who told her! The only person I told is Lissa. And as much as I want to believe it was her I know deep down it wasn't, she wouldn't do that. But still Tasha knew.

"Listen bitch, I could give two shits about your helpful suggestions. But let's make this clear I don't give a fuck that you know about my past. Cause it's just that my past. And the fact that you bring it up like you're purposely trying to get a rise out of me is pathetic. Do you honestly have nothing more interesting in your life than me? Cause it honestly seems like you're the one stalking me. You're everywhere I go threatening me or making sarcastic comments and it's fucking annoying. So yes I got the message you don't want me near Dimitri. And let me just tell you, you won't have a problem with constantly telling me to stay away from Dimitri. Because I, myself will gladly distance myself." I yell finally fed up with her crap.

Tasha looked surprise. Like she wasn't expecting me to say anything. Is this bitch serious? Did she really think I'd let her walk all over me like that?

I look of satisfaction crossed her face. She gives me a smile, it looks I don't know, genuine. She walks away and towards Sydney who was sitting on the bleachers near the field. Sydney get's up and meets her in the middle of the field.

I was so distracted trying to hear what they were saying that I didn't hear the person yell, "Heads up!" before a ball smacked the side of my head.

I stumble a little before I regain my footing. My head hurt so bad I heard a faint ringing in my ears.

"Hey are you okay?"

I look up into the eyes that looked so familiar, Dimitri.

"Um-I'm fine, my head just hurts a little."

I lay a hand on the side of my head where the ball hit. Then I feel another hand on top of mine. Electricity was running through my hand, down my arm and throughout my body. Dimitri had his hand over mine.

From across the field I could see Tasha and Sydney watching our exchange intently. Remembering what I just told Tasha about staying away from Dimitri I take a step back. His hand falls to his side.

"Your girlfriend looks jealous." I say looking at Sydney and Tasha. Not knowing which one in reality was his girlfriend

Dimitri turns around looks at them. He turns back around and looks at me,"Which one?"

I raise an eyebrow,"You're dating both of them?"

"No, I'm not dating either of them. Which one did you think was my girlfriend?" he asks.

I look at him no knowing what to say. Well I thought Sydney was his girlfriend, but Tasha was so protective of him she could have been too.

"Maybe we should take a walk, it looks like you hit your head harder than we thought." he says.

"Where?" I ask.

He sighs," You like running right?"

I nod a reply.

"There's an old trail in the woods, no one really knows about it. But it's really nice, good to clear your head or go for a run." he says

Not knowing what to say I reply with an "Okay."

He leads me to the cemetery.

"Um-I thought we were going to a trail?" I ask.

"It's behind the cemetery, it's covered behind some bushes."

We walk to the back of the cemetery. He pulls back a couple of branches and I walk through. Sure enough there was a clearing. It was a dirt trail, but that's not what made it look beautiful. Above the trail there was absolutely no trees. Sure there was around the sides but anywhere above the trail was open.

It's so beautiful, you could see the sun setting. I could only imagine how this would look at night, the sunset replaced with hundreds of stars. The woods, unlike the ones I saw around the school, looked full of life. There was so much green. What also added to the beauty was that every couple of feet there was patches of different types of flowers.

Unlike the school that looked so dead and cold, the woods behind the school looked so full of life and beautiful.

"The trail is only about two miles, it's just one big circle." Dimitri says.

"Want to race?" he asks smiling.

"What?" I ask surprised.

"Come on I know it helps clear your head." he says.

I laugh," It does bu- wait how do you know it helps clear my head?" I ask.

He shrugs," Doesn't it clear everyone's head? It certainly clears mine."

I look at the trail, I did want to run. I wanted to see how the rest of the trail looked.

"Come on, I'll even let you win this time." he says.

"You'll let me win this time? Compared to what all the other times we've raced?" I ask sarcastically.

He nods then stops abruptly,"I'm trying to be nice Rose, I mean I did just kick a ball into the side of your head."

We were being civil, hell we were being more than civil. It was the first time we were actually having a conversation without him calling me a stalker. He sounded so nice and sincere.

"Okay, how about this, you don't do me any favors. We'll see who's the better runner." I say.

He looks surprised for a second than laughs,"Deal.

I grab a stick and draw a small line across the trail. We stand behind it and get ready.

"1...2...3!"

And we're off. I don't think I've ever ran so fast before. But I was pushing myself to win. I wanted to show him.

I was so into the running I lost track off how long we've been at it. In the distance I see the line I drew into the dirt. Guess it was a circle, I don't even remember turning at any curves. I push myself a little further and the collapse behind the line a second before Dimitri does the same thing.

We control our breathing and then I prop myself up on my elbows. His eyes are closed still trying to regain his breath. I take the opportunity to look at him. He looks so calm. I can't ignore the nagging feeling inside that I've seen this face before.

He opens his eyes and sees me looking at him.

"What?" he asks sounding slightly nervous.

"Nothing." I say.

"Rose-"

"I can't stop thinking about how I feel like I know you." I say.

He takes a while before he speaks," Look I'm flattered that you feel we have a connection. But you really should stop bringing this up. We've went over this before."

I feel anger surge through my body. I hate how he's brushing me off like I'm just some schoolgirl with a crush.

"I've should have said this before, I don't want you to give your hopes up. I'm not looking to get involved with anyone at the moment. And even if I were I guess I'm just not interested in you."

Ouch?

I push myself off the ground and unto my feet.

"Where are you going?" he asks.

"I'm leaving." I say.

I start to walk away when I stop. Since the moment I stepped foot at this school he's been nothing but a bipolar ass to me, but I let him. I let him treat me that way. Which is unlike me. This school changed the way I am. It's about time someone stood up to this jerk.

I turn around and face him.

"Look I don't know what I've ever done to you. Since the first day I got here when you flipped me off for no reason I can't help but feel like I've known you. And maybe I'm just crazy. But the way you've been treating me since I got here is just weird! One minute you are the biggest jerk-off I've ever met in my entire life and the next you're nice and act like maybe something could-" I stop and take a breath," I just want to reassure you that I won't be looking for you anymore. Well actually it's not like it's been my choice this whole time anyways. You're everywhere I go. But as long as it's up to me I hope to God I don't have to see your face again. I know my story about us somehow knowing each other sounds absurd. And maybe it even is true. I mean we're both from Florida. Maybe I just saw your face one day walking in the streets. Actually that probably is. I must have seen you one day in Florida. Cause I know for a fact there's nothing special between us."

With that around and walk back to my dorm

Let me know what you think! Review if you liked Rose's sass! :3
