Fiery Secrets and Love

Chapter Two: Rumor Has It

"Bless your soul, you got your head in the clouds, you've made a fool out of you. And boy, she's bringing you down..." - Adele

First days are nothing to be afraid of, well that's what my Mom used to say. When I starting in high school, she told me those words. I actually believed it at first, but as soon as I was in the school, I was terrifed. Thinking back to it, I think that was Mom's only way of getting me to go to school. I smiled at the thought, Mom was always the tricker. She made me believe things until I reached the age I knew it wasn't true. But that#s what I loved about my Mom, she always kept my spirit alive, even now when I was doing my make-up for my first day. I was wearing a light and dark pink pattern top with dark blue skinny jeans and a dark brown waist coat.

The other thing I was wearing was my charm ring necklace. It very long story on how I got into a charm ring necklace, it was about two and half years ago when I was thirteen and a half...

-FLASHBACK-

I ran into the house after the school bus dropped me off. I had been to a trip to the...well I couldn't remember what museum it was but all I could remember was having a great time with my friend Mia. And then getting a charm ring.

"Mommy! Mommy! Look what I got!" I shouted as I ran into the kitchen and towards Mom as she was making dinner. I held up the charm ring and said, "I got a charm ring."

Mom had a bright smile on her face and said, "It's beautiful Rose."

I looked at it and said, "I know but it doesn't fit...see." I said, trying to put it on but it quickly fell off.

"Well," Mom said taking the ring from me. "Let's see if we can fix that aren't we." As she went out of the room I sat on the kitchen counter, waiting...I wasn't as good as waiting as I was today.

"Hurry up!" I moaned.

Mom was back two minutes later, the charm ring was on a chain. "Move your hair," Mom ordered and I did as I was told. She wrapped the chain around my neck and chicked it together. "There go, your very own charm ring necklace."

I looked down at the charm ring necklace and then back to my Mom, "Thanks Mommy." I wrapped my arms around her and hugged her.

She hugged me back and said, "You're welcome honey, I love you."

"I love you too."

-END OF FLASHBACK-

I looked at the necklace through the mirror while holding the ring between my fingers, thinking back to that time. Everytime I did think of that memory it always made me smile and a bit cry, but thankfully I didn't cry this time, it would of ruined my make-up.

"Hey," Sydney said from my bedroom, looking into the bathroom where I was. "You ready?"

I looked back to the mirror and said, "Just a few more minutes." Putting on some last minute touches. To be honest, I didn't put that much make-up, just some that would not show how tired I was. I hardly got any sleep over the weekend because I've been thinking about -

No. If I stop thinking him and his dick, then maybe I might actually get some sleep.

"What's this?" Sydney asked as I walked back into my bedroom. She held up some leaflets I got over the weekend. "You dance?"

I smiled while nodding, "Yeah, it's always been a hobby of mine."

"What kind of dancing do you do?" Sydney asked, putting the leaflets back down on my desk.

"Any, ballet, jazz, street, tap...But I don't do ball room dancing. That's the one type of dance I will not do." I said and we both laughed.

Sydney sat down on my bed as I packed my bag for school. "You got ballet shoes."

I nodded, "Yeah, there around somewhere, I'll show them to you later."

She suddenly jumped up and said, "Oh right, I almost forgot too!" Sydney went through her grey jean jacket and pulled out a card. "Uncle Abe wanted me to give you this, so if you need to get anything, all the money's there."

I grabbed the card and said, "He got me a credit card?"

Sydney nodded, not making it a big deal like I was. "I've got one too, so anytime you want to get anything you want, there's the money."

"Tell him thanks," I handed her back the card. "But no thanks." I grabbed my shoulder bag and headed out of my room.

Sydney quickly caught up with me as we were going down the stairs, "How are you going to get money then?"

I shrugged my shoulders, "I don't know, I'll get a job like I had a month ago." I told Sydney, heading for the front door.

"Uncle Abe isn't going to like that," Sydney stated as we both walked out onto the porch.

"Does he like anything?" We both laughed as Sydney locked the front door and I headed for my truck. I saw Sydney give me a strange look and I asked, "What?"

"You're seriously going to drive that truck to school?" Sydney asked, "Uncle Abe is gunna want to give you a new one."

I rolled my eyes, "Abe wants a lot of things but he ain't getting rid of Honey." I stated.

Sydney did that cool one eyebrow thing. "Honey? You named your car?"

I shook my head, "No, the car owner before me did."

She looked at me, the car and then back at me. "He's definally will want to get rid of it."

I shrugged and walked over to my truck, "Well Abe can go and fuck himself for all I care."

-FSAL-

Maywood High School was like any other high school. You had the cheerleaders, the jocks, goths, people in hoodies who do drugs and carry around weapons and the sometimes normal people. I didn't know what to call myself. Mom always used to say that you should never label people, because for all you know they could be wearing a mask. Seeing the scene before me, I couldn't a agree with her more.

The kind lady at the desk gave me my timetable and Sydney and I were off to find my locker. It was number 247, which Sydney gratefully said was near her locker. We soon found it and it wasn't so far from my tutor, who was Stan Alto. Sydney warned me about him as we were walking to my locker, saying he was really tough and very loud.

"Hmm, I wonder what he's like in bed then." Was my reply and Sydney couldn't stop laughing.

"I still can't believe you said that," Sydney said as I was opening up my locker.

I smiled, "What can I say, I am unpreditable." Which was very true, my Mom once caught me trying to do a hand-stand on the kitchen counter. I broke my wrist afterwards.

"I remember when we were little, you - Anna!" Sydney cut herself off, seeing someone behind me.

I turned around and I gasped. It was that girl I saw with Dimitri. This time with more clothes on. Her redish, brownish hair was straighten down and she was wearing dark make-up, which suited her.

"Hey Sydney, this must be your little cousin." Anna said, looking at me.

I swallowed hard.

"Yeah, Rose this is Anna, a friend of mine. Anna, this is Rose." Sydney told us as we continued to look at each other. The bell suddenly ran and Sydney said, "Do you need me to show you to your tutor Rose?"

Anna looked up to Sydney and said, "Don't worry, I'll show her, since your tutor is all the way on the other side of the school." Shit.

Sydney nodded in agreement, "Sure, I'll see you guys later." And then she was gone, leaving me to my utter death.

As I closed my locker, slowly, Anna laughed and said, "I'm sorry for creeping you out there."

I shook my head, "No it's fine...you have every reason to after..." I trailed off.

"Yeah...I'm really, really sorry that you had to see that too." Anna rubbed that back of her head. "I don't know what got into me, I mean one minute I was hanging out with Vladmir and the next you walk in while me and Dimitri are having sex." Gulit flashed her beautiful face, "Please you can't tell anyone. Even Vladmir, he will die if he found out. And it was a really big mistake...I don't even know how it happened."

I gave her small smile, "Don't worry, its none of my business so it's not my place to tell."

Anna gave a relieved sigh, "Thank you." We both smiled at each other. Even though she did creep me out for a second and I walked in on her having sex, she was actually...alright. She was a teenager. "So, whose your tutor?"

-FSAL-

The rest of the school day was really good and a bit of a blur. At first Anna creeped me out, but after talking to her more, it was like I knew her forever. Instead of sitting with Sydney, I sat with Anna and Lissa, who was in my Maths and Science class. We had a good laugh for the whole day, but I did ask Anna why she was hanging out with girls a year younger and she replied, "Because I actually like you girls, the other girls in my year are...okay." Turns out Vladmir is Anna's boyfriend, but when he came over to us for a while, Anna didn't like him...touching her. I was going to ask her about it, but then it was none of my business. I told her I wouldn't tell Vladmir about about her and Dimitri and I will keep that promise. I mean now, she was my friend. Lissa was really cool too, but she did come from a posh family. I actually just learned that both of her parents died in a car accident a year ago, so she and her older brother were living with their uncle and aunt.

School was over and I was walking over to my car whilst texting Sydney.

School was great today, but going to be late home today. Going to find a job.

- R xoxo

I managed to get over to my truck but I stopped walking just at the end of the truck, noticing who I was parked next to.

Dimitri Belikov.

He looked more beautiful than the other night, with his hair tied at the back of his neck and wearing a long duster. He was leaned against his very cool car, with his hands tucked in his pockets and was watching...me.

I swallowed hard as I looked down and walked towards the door to my truck. I digging through my bag like crazy, trying to find my keys as soon as. But I paused as I felt him behind.

"Need some help?" His voice was something like angels with a deep accent.

I looked over my shoulder to find his figure (six foot four or six foot six) standing next to my small figure. "No, I'm fine thanks." I said calmly, which was a surprise because I was panicing like there was no tomorrow inside.

He gave me one of his charming smiles and said, "You're Sydney's cousin, right? Rose Hathaway?"

God I loved it when he said my name.

I nodded and gave him a small smile, "Yep, that's me." I quickly turned back to my bag, finding my keys, finally.

"Don't you want to know who I am?"

I sighed now, even though he was handsome, he was starting to annoy me. I turned towards him, one hand on my hip, "No need, you're Dimitri Belikov. And no need to worry about the other night, Anna cleared it up with me, so you have nothing to worry about."

Dimitri smirked at me while crossing his arms over his memorzing chest. "You're a feisty one, aren't you?"

"Yes I am and if you don't mind," I said opening my car door. "I've got place to be, people to see, which doesn't involve you." But I wish it could.

Dimitri continued to smirk as he walked away from my truck, "Bye, Hathaway."

I growled at him as got into my truck and quickly drove away.

-FSAL-

Driving around town, I finally found something in a window with a "Help Wanted" sign. I parked by it to see it was cafe called "Marine's". I slowly walked into the cafe, I thought it might be packed, but there were only a couple of people in there, for which I was glad about. I walked up to the till and the last person I thought might be here was here.

"Anna?"

She turned around and saw me, a smile came on her face. "Hey Rose, what are you doing here?"

I was so confused, "Do you work here? I mean, aren't your parents like you said, 'dirty rich'?" I asked, her parents wasn't as rich as Lissa's family, but still.

"Yeah they are but they also thought I could use the work experience, for the future. Anyways, you haven't answered my question."

I laughed, "I saw a help sign in the window and I wondered if I could have the job."

"Wait one minute." Anna put down a cup and continued, "I thought you had a Dad who was dirty rich."

"Well, I'm a Hathaway, we believe in looking after ourselves." I told Anna.

"Now there's a girl I like!" Anna commented, "Are you sure though, because once you're in, you can never get out."

"I'm sure." I said while laughing.

Anna smiled, "Great, can you start tomorrow after school?" I nodded, "Good, see you tomorrow then."

"See ya," I said and then walked out of the cafe.

So that's it for this chapter, I know much didn't happen but it will get there, I promise.

What do you think of the characters so far? Let me know and keep on reviewing :D
