"Roza!" Vika called out from the hallways. "How was the movies?"

"The movie was great," I said simply.

"But…what happened about after the movie?" she asked, wiggling her eyebrows.

"Nothing." I opened my locker and grabbed my books, unable to not look at myself in the mirror Dimitri hung up.

"Oh that's cute! Who did that?"

"Please like you didn't tell him. Good to know he listens to someone. Look, Vika, I don't mean to be bitchy or nothing but what exactly are you trying ask?"

"Oh nothing, just wondering if something unexpected happened last night."

"Not last night, but this morning I walked out to a box of perfectly ruined chocolate donuts."

"Wait this morning? Shit! Oh this is not good."

"What are you talking about?" I asked, wondering if she's losing it.

"I mean nothing. I have to go, I'll see you later," she said before turning around and walking away. Thinking nothing of it, I finished getting my things from my locker. Something caught my eye and a smile formed.

"Morning, Comrade," I said as I walked over to his locker. He barely looked over his shoulder before turning back to what he was doing. "Heeeeellooooooo."

"Hi," he said curtly before closing his locker and leaning against it and looking at me. "Do you need something?"

"Uh well not exactly."

"Then have a good day," he said, turning around. Before I could say anything, the bell rang and I walked to class.

After biology, I hastily threw my stuff in my backpack barely said bye to my temporary lab partner as I tried to catch up with Dimitri.

"Hey. Hold up," I said as he kept walking down the hallway. Once I caught up with him, he barely glanced my way. "Are you ok?"

"Perfectly fine. How about yourself?" he asked, in cold politeness.

"Uh I guess. Sure yea."

"That's lovely. Well have a good day. And a good weekend."

"Wait," I said, holding onto his arm. "What's wrong with you? You're acting worse then when we first started training. Did I do something or say something wrong?"

"No. I just really haven't to get going."

"It's break."

"Yes. And I have a test in my next period. So if you're so kind as to give me my arm back, I'd like to go and squeeze in some more studying."

"Fine," I said, letting go of his arm and walking away. I couldn't shake off the feeling that something was wrong. Not once has he tried to kiss me or done something to catch my attention. Did he give up? I really hope not.

"You ok, Rose?" Lissa asked me when I got to her locker.

"I guess," I said before turning to face her. "Is there something wrong with me?"

"Uhh…"

"I mean do I smell funny? Or look weird? Or do something that makes guys run away?"

"I think it's your winning personality," Christian said.

"Not the time for jokes, Sparky," I said before looking at Lissa pleadingly.

"Rose, there's nothing wrong with you. Why do you think that?"

"Well Mason wasn't lying when he said he wanted some space from me and Dimitri gave me the cold shoulder all day."

"Maybe he had to get to class."

"I guess. But it's just weird, don't you think? He's spent this whole week trying to get me back and then all of the sudden he's just cold and distant. You don't think he gave up and went with Tasha, do you?"

"I don't think so," she said, looking at Christian, who shook his head.

"If that happened, I would know. Believe me. She wouldn't shut up for weeks when Dimitri agreed to go with her to the dance."

"You don't think it has to do with the donuts, do you?" Lissa asked.

"I don't think so. But this morning when I mentioned it to Vika, she ran off. You don't think he brought them?"

"If it was him why would he have just dumped them and left? He hasn't been hiding his shows of affections so far, why now?"

"I dunno. Nothing unexplainable happened this morning that would make someone run."

"What about last night?"

"What do you mean what about last night? I was at the damn movies all night! He wasn't there. And he wasn't at the house before I left or when I came back. I would have seen his car."

"Actually…"

"What…?"

"This morning Andre told me that he came by last night to see you, and he stayed for a while because Andre wanted to talk to him."

"Oh no…"

"Oh no?"

"I need to go talk to him," I said, getting up and grabbing my backpack. But before I could get far, the bell rang. Lunch, I thought, knowing I'd have to wait until then to talk to Dimitri and explain things to him

Finally, I thought when the final bell rang to end school. I had no luck finding Dimitri at lunch, but now that school was over I wasn't leaving until I found him. Hopefully I'd find him at his locker rather than in practice. Bingo! He was at his locker, but he didn't seem to be getting anything. Actually it looked like he was talking to someone. As I got closer, I heard him whispering to a girl in Russian.

"Roza!" said Viktoria, popping her head from behind Dimitri, who turned around and looked at me, his face void of all emotions, but I could see a storm brewing up in his eyes.

"I got to go," he said before closing his locker.

"Wait. Can we talk…please?" I said, hoping if I stayed calm I'd get what I want.

"I have to get to practice."

"Please," I said, elongating the 'e' to make it more pleading. "Just five minutes."

I saw the battle going on through his eyes, he wanted to yes, but something for some reason didn't want him to. Vika, being the lovable little sister she is, quickly said her goodbyes and left.

"There's nothing we have to talk about," he said finally.

"Yes, there is. To begin with, why have you been avoiding me all fucking day?"

"Not for nothing, but not everything revolves around you," he said, no emotion in his tone. Actually he sounded kind of bored. "I had a life before you, sorry I'm trying to get back to it now that it's quite clear your out of it."

I felt like I just got slapped in the face. He did give up. Right when I wanted him to fight and swoop me off my feet, he pulled the rug from under me and is walking out.

"Well I'm sorry. Here I was once again stupidly worried something happened to you, when once again you were just trying to get me out of my life!"

"How many times do I have to say nothing happened!" he shouted as he pinned me to his locker. "I never kissed Tasha. I never invited her. I never meant any of it."

"But you do now?"

"No. Rose, don't you get it?"

"That's just it! I thought I had you figured out! Then overnight you go back to the guy I slapped! What the hell happened?"

"You kissed him Rose! What am I suppose to do? He won!"

"Do you see him here?" I asked before I crashed my lips against him.

It took him a while to get over the initial surprise, but when he did, he kissed me back. I wrapped my arms around his neck as he grabbed my sides and lifted me, pinning me with his body so I wouldn't move. But that wasn't the best part. No, the kiss was. This raw, passionate, hungry kiss that said everything neither of us could find the right words for. This kiss that poured out everything we've been bottling up this whole week. This kiss that was a fight for dominance but a dance of fire all in one. He pulled on my lower lip, and I gladly opened up, his tongue caressing my lips before exploring inside. My hands, lost in his hair, pulled him forward, needing more. This is what a kiss is suppose to feel like. This is what I've been craving.

All too soon, he pulled away and placed me back on the ground.

"I wasn't done," I said, a slight pout on my lips. He laughed, and smiled. Laughed and smiled! I never realized how much I missed that sweet sound and that gentle smile until now. But what was better was the soft, short kiss he gave me after.

"That can't happen again, Rose," he said softly, a sad look on his face.

"What? Why? You…you…you don't want me."

"Rose I don't think I'll ever stop wanting you, but I can't do this."

"But I want you to do this. Why won't you do this!"

"All my life I've fought for what I wanted. But the one thing I won't do is take what belongs to another man. I can't. I lost fair and square. And I lost you for my own stupidity, but as long as your happy, that's all that matters," he said before walking away.

I just stood there, in the middle of the hallway, speechless. Not up for seeing him in practice, I grabbed my bags and told Eddie I have food poisoning.

Less than twenty-four hours ago, I had two guys wanting to be with me, now I have zip. Nice going, Hathaway, I thought as I left the school.

A/N: Uh. Oh. No Mason. And now no Dimitri. What's Rose going to do now? Well I gave you guys a good kiss didn't I? OK BEFORE I GET KILLED! I know it seems like the end, but I promise you it's not. Just the fashion show and then it's the awaited after party where it all gets cleared up-ish...PROMISE!

I just want to apologize again for drawing this out so long, it seriously didn't feel lik I was when I wrote it. :/

Leave me a review with your favorite part was and I might update on Tuesday :)
