Tasha is 17.

Dimitri's POV

" Dimitri baby, what are you writing?" Tasha, my girlfriend asked as she hovered over my desk. I ignored her question. Tasha isn't the kind of girl I want for a girlfriend. She asks too many questions and it's annoying.

I kept on writing the letter for Rose. After seeing her expression, something told me that at the end it is not going to be her who is the fool. Something told me that it's going to be me that is the fool. I don't know, maybe I'm just thinking too much. Tasha being Tasha pulled the letter from me and read it.

Her pale cheeks turned red as she asked " Rose Hathaway? Really? Are you in love with her? I thought you love me." I never loved Tasha. We're a just a couple for our own reputation and popularity. Rich were meant to be be Rich. Simple for understanding.

I looked at her and said " I never loved you. I don't even want you for a girlfriend." Then Tasha swung her hand to slap me, but I stopped her and said " I have better things to do than let you slap me."

I pulled the letter from her grasp and walked out of my classroom. Students moved out of my way as I walked down the hallway. I walked to Josh and told him to give it to Rose Hathaway. I'm surprised that she didn't even tell anyone about my letter to her. Most girls would have spread the news already.

Let's hope my feelings are wrong. I will never be the fool. It must be her who is the fool. I'm perfect and she's not. I'm rich and she's poor. I see my friends on the grass talking to each other. I walked to them and said " Making Rose Hathaway look like a fool is not fun."

Adrian shook his head and said " Patient, Cousin." I rolled my eyes and sat next to Christian who seemed to be in his own little Christian world. I smirked and nudged Christian. " What's up with you?" I asked.

Christian shook his head and said " Nothing."

I raised my eyebrow and said " Spill it, now. Or leave the group." There will be no secrets in our friendship. No secrets.

Everyone in our group looked at Christian waiting for his answer.

" I like someone." Christian said looking pretty tired.

Eddie whistled and asked " Who's the lucky girl, man?"

Christian hesitated before answering. " It's Lissa. Lissa Dragomir."

I could have sworn, my heart almost stopped beating.

That girl, Lissa? She's nothing compared to us. She's not even rich or popular. She's the best friend of Rose Hathaway. She's in the a little more active nerd group. Christian can not like that girl. One of our group's rules.

Never ever fall for someone who is lower than you. If you do so, you are out of the group.

Everyone was in a serious mood. " What are we gonna do?" Mason asked. Christian did break one of our rules. " I'll give you one more chance. Forget the girl and find someone popular to be with. If you can't, I'm afraid you'll have to leave." I said firmly.

Christian looked at me and said " You can't stop love from growing. Lissa has changed my points of view. I feel happier with her. And plus Lissa really has nice friends with her. Rose is a nice girl. Stop sending those letters or I'll do something about it." With that Christian left our group. I shrugged and said " He'll regret his choice."

Mason and Eddie looked at each other. Christian and both of them grew up together. Well, it was Christian's choice to leave. I gave him a second chance and he declined it. His problem not mine.

Rose's pov

" You Freak!" Tasha Ozera screamed at me. I was in the bathroom washing my hands when she came in. I stepped backward. Sydney and Avery followed Tasha behind.

" What do you want, Tasha?" I asked hoping I could understand why she's going to beat me.

She walked closer to me and grabbed my hair. I winced in pain, but did not let out a sound. She pulls me to the toilet and said " My boyfriend!." Oh no, Dimitri.

I didn't even do anything with him. I have never ever talked to him and I don't see a reason to.

When she was about to push my head into the toilet, I pulled her arm and her head went into the toilet. Avery came and kicked me in the stomach. I was too much pain to scream. Tears escaped my eyes as I curled up into a ball on the floor.

I could hear Tasha's scream. Cold water was splashed onto me, making me all soaking wet on the floor. Then Tasha started to slap me and calling me inappropriate names. Avery and Sydney kept kicking me and pouring water on to me.

My body felt numb from all the pain. They left me and I laid there praying that a kind person would come and help me.
