A/N: So I'm breaking the rules with this and I didn't plan on updating again today, but the reviews were a lot so I decided as a parting gift I'd put your minds to ease and tell you what happened next.

"Who are you and what have you done with my baby sister?" Andre asked when I came down for breakfast while Lissa just looked at me with her mouth open.

"What?" I asked as I grabbed an apple. Looking down at my outfit, I saw nothing wrong with it. It was a strapless black dress, with pastel floral print, that fell right above my knee. To match it, I put on my nude flats and clipped the front of my hair back with a nude colored bow clip. Opting out of a backpack, I had one notebook and my binder and a small square nude purse with a long strap. "I don't see anything wrong with the outfit."

"Yea, but we go to a private school that has a uniform. I know you like to break the rules, but you're usually sneaky about it," Andre explained.

"I won third place in the race, I got a week's worth of free dress as a reward. Today seems like a good day to use a pass. I'll see you guys after practice," I said as I headed towards the door.

"Wait where are you going?" Lissa asked.

"My rides here." With that I went out to find Mason leaning against his car, looking up at the sky. "Never pegged you for a cloud gazer."

"Ha ha I'm just- Woah," he said slowly when he saw me, his eyes roaming up and down a few times to make sure it was real.

"You like?" I asked as I twirled before walking to his car. Unable to say anything, he just nodeed. "Good. Now let's get to school."

"Take your shirt off," I said suddenly while we were in our bio seats, waiting for class to start.

"Sorry, Rose, but you need to buy me dinner first," he teased.

"No seriously. Just listen to me." And of course, he listened. When his shirt was off, I took out my sharpie and started making a design on his right peck. Every now and then I'd hear him take a deep breathe or a soft sound escaped his lips. While I was putting the finishing touch, I heard what sounded like a giggle. "Mason are you tickleish?"

"No," he said quickly, his eyes filled with fear. With a wicked smile I put my pen back on the desk and started tickling him. "NO! Rose! Stop! Oh my god! Please! Sto-OOF!"

All of the sudden Mason had fallen back first to the ground.

"Oh my god! Mase! Are you ok?" I asked as I kneeled down next to him. When I heard him cough and then groan, I broke down laughing. "OH my god! I can't believe you just fell! I'm so sorry…but I'm not!" Just as quickly as he fell, he had me pinned on the ground, his legs trapping me down, and he started ticking me.

"That wasn't funny, Rosie," he teased as he kept going.

"M-m-mason! No! Stop! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Mercy, Mason, mercy!" I shouted in between laughs, trying desperately to escape his hold.

"Mercy won't work here," he said before tickling my sides, aka my sensitive spot.

"MASON NOOOOO!" I howled as I laughed even more, tears in my eyes and my breathe leaving me.

All of the sudden, we heard some clear their throat behind us. Quickly, Mason got off me and helped me up.

"Oh no don't stop on my account please," Ms. Karp said sternly, even though her eyes were dancing with laughter. "Now if you two don't mind I'd like to start teaching."

"Sorry, Ms. Karp," we mumbled as we got into our seats.

"And Mr. Ashford, please put a shirt on." Unable to contain myself, I broke down laughing again. Not even Mason's glare could stop, but the burning hate I saw in Dimitri's eyes when I spot him leaning against the doorframe made my laughs run dry.

For a moment, I took him in, in his freshly pressed uniform, with his hair freely cascading down to his shoulder, just how I like it. And I almost went up to him, to try and fix things and explain Mason and I were just messing around, that there was nothing going on between us. But then when his eyes met mine and they softened and looked sad, like a lost puppy, I felt mine hardened as I remembered why I was wearing the dress and why I was getting close with Mason.

"Ms. Karp, not to sound like a bitch or anything, but aren't we suppose to wear uniform to school," Tasha said from the back of the class, making me break eye contact with Dimitri and look at the teacher, who looked at me.

"Yes that's correct, Ms. Ozera. While your outfit is very cute and I wish I was young enough to pull that off, do you have a reason to be wearing it, Ms. Hathaway?"

To make my ex jealous, I thought. "Well Headmistress gave me some passes as a reward for coming in third in the race, so I thought with the weather like it is, today would be a good day to use one," I said as I got up and handed Ms. Karp my pass.

"Very well. Now unless anyone else has anything to say, can we get on with the class?" she asked. When no one said nothing, she started lecture. I didn't really catch much since I spent most of the class looking at the back of Dimitri's head, remembering all the times I ran my hands through his silky brown hair, and all playing out all the fantasies I had of us doing things that made me hold on to his hair. Thankfully the bell rang before those fantasies went far.

"Rose. Rose!" I heard someone say gruffly, and loudly, behind me as I left biology class and went to my locker. I mean I know who it is, the Russian accent made it obvious, but I just kept on walking, a sadistic smile on the whole time. "I'm talking to you," he said in a frustrated tone once I had reached my locker.

"Oh really? Could have fooled me," I said, not looking at him, as I put my books away and grabbed what I needed for next period.

"Can you at least look at me?"

"No."

"Roza I swear whatever you saw wasn't what it looked like," he pleaded.

"Oh whatever I saw? Was there more that I missed? Did I leave too soon to see the big finale? Sorry," I said sarcastically.

"Rose can you please just talk to me."

"Talk to you?" I said, my anger starting to boil as I looked up at him. "I went over to talk to you since you didn't come to class. By the way, not that it matters, but I was really worried since you didn't say a word to me since Saturday night and then you're not in class. Which was stupid since you were clearly well cared for!" I slammed my locker shut and walked away.

"Listen to me!" he said as he grabbed my wrist.

"Funny you say that since that's what I asked you to do when you were ready to beat Andre up. All I asked was that you trust me and listen to him, but instead you look at me like I'm some ugly, evil heathen that you want to get the hell away from."

"Roza, I'm sorry!" he shouted, finally reaching his breaking point. "I'm sorry I said those things to you and I'm sorry she kissed me, but I swear I didn't kiss her back or anything. She wasn't even suppose to be there! I swear I asked Christian to come."

"Save it, Dimitri," I said softly, all the anger escaping my body. "Are you sorry it happened or that I found out? If I hadn't seen it would you have told me?" His silence and inablity to look at me answered my question. "That's what I thought and then it would have been ten times worse when I found out from her, because I'm pretty sure she would have been quick to talk."

"Rose I'm so sorry. I should have come to talk to you on Sunday and apologized, but I was scared I had said something you couldn't forgive me for."

"Too little too late, Dimitri. Sorry doesn't fix anything. You know all of Sunday I felt like shit because I thought I did the wrong thing by trying to defend Andre? I kept praying that you would respond and I kept holding on to the hope that when Monday came around we 'd talk and forgive each other and move on. But it's quite clear that you had other plans. I can't believe I was so stupid to actually think you were different."

"Rose why can't you just hear me out?" he asked, in a frustrated and begging tone.

"Because you're just going to say lies!" I shouted back. "You're just going to say what I want to hear and then make me trust you again only to break my heart even more. So no Dimitri. Nothing you say or do is going to wipe that kiss from my mind or get me to forgive you. So why don't you just go back to your little slut and forget you even met me."

"You're worse than me," he said, clearly pissed.

"Excuse me? But I have integrity and I didn't jump into the first person who had their arms open. I didn't kiss the devil's spawn instead of trying to fix things with my boyfriend. I stood up for my friend and paid the price dearly, but I'd do it again. So you know what, Dimitri, go to hell."

"I wouldn't listen to Andre's explanations, and you're not listening to mine."

"Fuck you. Don't you ever talk to me again," I spat out before turning away and walking to my next class right as the bell that ended break rang through the hall.

"Rose…Rose…Earth to Rose," Jill said as she waved her hands in front of me.

"Huh what?" I asked, snapping out of my thoughts.

"Nothing, you just kinda zoned out. Is everything ok?" she asked, her green eyes filled with worry.

"Peachy!" I said in a sugar sweet voice. "So were you guys talking about?"

"I decided to give Andre another chance," Viktoria said as she intertwined her fingers with Andre's, sending a pang into my heart. "I mean we're taking things slow, one date at a time, but I believe him."

"That's great. I'm happy for you guys," I said truthfully.

"So I have a fashion show this weekend," Jill said timidly, everyone turning towards her. "And I was wondering if you guys could come."

Everyone gave her an apologetic look and said they had plans already.

It broke my heart to see her face fall, so I said, "Looks like it's just you and me off to fend off the fashion world."

She broke into a smile, "Thanks Rose. I mean Eddie's coming too, I hope you don't mind."

"Not at all. Can I bring Mason?"

"Yea sure," she said hesitantly, biting her lip before she asked what was on her mind. "I thought you were with Dimitri."

"Do you see him here?" I snapped, immediately regretting it. "Sorry. It's just a touchy subject still."

"I get it," she replied, even though she probably didn't. "So you and Mason then?"

"Not like that. He's just being my friend right now."

"Rose, you know he likes you right?" she said with all seriousness.

"Like a friend? Yea I know, I like him that way too."

"No. Like more than a friend. When you first joined us, he thought he had a chance. Didn't you find it weird that he was never really with us when Dimitri started sitting here?" Thinking back on it, I guess I never really noticed Mason's absence until now.

"Shit," I said, realizing that I've probably been giving him false hope. "So what do I do now? I really don't want to lose him like a friend, but I don't want to lead him on."

"Go out. I mean if you're over Dimitri and want to stay friends with Mason, then go on random dates with guys."

"I guess that's an idea. I dunno. Shouldn't I address the problem though?"

"Address what problem?" Lissa asked suddenly, while Jill shook her head.

"Nothing," I said, getting up when I saw someone coming our way. "I gotta go. I'll catch you guys later."

"Wait Rose!" everyone called out but I was already heading for the door. Of course I didn't expect that someone to actually follow me to my locker…again.

"Do you have a problem following me?" I asked in an aggravated tone.

"Yes. Especially when you won't talk to me," he said.

"I told you not to talk to me. Don't you have a cheerleader to go suck faces with? Why are you bothering with me?"

"Because you're special," he whispered into my ear, pressing his body against me and pinning me to my locker. My body turned to mush at his touch, and my mind become foggy, but I kept reminding myself not to give in. Turning around in the tight space I had, I glared at him.

"Personal space, bud. Personal space."

"You seemed to like it when I had you pinned against something," he said lowering his face so his lips were almost against mine.

"Yea and you seemed to be honest and faithful. Guess we all change," I replied huskily, my eyes closing against my will as I felt his lips slowly closed the gap between us.

"Rose?" Mason asked out of nowhere. My eyes snapped open and using the element of surprised I pushed Dimitri away.

"Yea. I'm going," I said as I closed my locker and ducking under Dimitri's arms, who I heard punch my locker as I slipped my arms though Mason's, turning back to smirk at him as we walked away.

"Thanks for saving me back there," I said once we got to his locker.

"Didn't know you wanted to be saved," he muttered as he pulled his laptop out.

"Yea well I did. That's exactly why I can't be alone with him."

"If you don't mind me asking, what exactly happened that has you looking at him like he's your enemy."

Looking away, I took a deep breathe. "We kinda had a fight and I went over to his house to try to fix things and I kinda saw him and Tasha kissing." I felt the tears well up in my eyes, so I looked up and tried blinking them back, but I guess one fell because Mason wiped it away.

"Well that's his loss. I'd pick you over Tasha any day," he said softly as his hand cradled my cheek. I smiled at him in thanks as we walked over to his locker.

A/N: Weeeeeell it seems as though Rose isn't going to be so quick to forgive Dimitri.

Leave me a review and tell me what your favorite part of this chapter was (or least hated part). What do you think is going to happen with Dimitri?
