Chapter 5: Just a dream Vanessa's POV

My eyes fluttered open as I lay on my bed. The memory of last night was a complete blur and for a moment I thought that I had forgotten something extremely important. Lazily I got up from my messed up bed and walked to the mirror. The clothes that I wore last night were still on me. They were dirty and I don't recall leaving the house last night.

"I guess that's what I forgot" I said to myself while scratching my head. With said I changed into a long sleeve, pink shirt along with a leather jacket that went to about my waist. Regular school jeans and tennis shoes were also followed.

"I guess I will leave my hair down for today." I muttered while brushing my hair in long even strokes. Being satisfied with my appearance I walked downstairs and into the kitchen only to find Chris eating a bowl of Lucky Charms.

"Feeling lucky today Chris" I asked with sarcasm. He didn't respond until I had all ready walked to the fridge, opened it, and grabbed the butter. My breakfast today was going to be toast, since I really wasn't that hungry.

"Not exactly" replied Chris without looking at me. Instead he was looking at the remnants of his lucky charms.

"What do you mean by not exactly?" I asked with the tone of annoyance that was starting to linger.

"I mean by NO. Get it" Man he's pissed for some reason. During that short talk I had made my toast and was starting to eat it. It didn't take a long time at all before I was done. While I was on my second piece of toast a question popped into my head.

"Chris, have you heard from mom or dad yet?" I asked. My parents had been gone for two weeks now and I wasn't so sure if they would ever be coming back. In response to my question he shook his head. This put me in an extremely bad mood.

I let out a sigh and walked into the bathroom to do my business. Pretty soon I was out the door and onto the school day.

-10:50am-

I had gotten through two periods out of four and at this time I was eating lunch with my friends. We were all joking around about something that had happened about a week ago. I was having a good time until a man appeared at our table. He had chocolate brown hair and tea brown eyes. This person was not familiar to me but he seemed to know me well.

"Hey guys" said the man casually. He held on a smile that reached his eyes.

"What's up Dimitri?" replied everyone except me of course. Was this Dimitri the new transfer student that everyone has been talking about?

"Why are you here? Shouldn't you be with your posy?" asked Ashley. His group of friends were on the other side of the lunch room. The group was consistent of one girl and three boys. They all looked eerily beautiful.

Dimitri didn't respond to Ashley's question, instead he kept his gaze on me. I got extremely annoyed by this and I left the table saying that I needed to go to the bathroom. Everyone was confused as I walked to the direction of the restroom with Ashley right behind me.

Before I could get there I bumped into someone and I fell flat on my butt. I responded with an I'm sorry and looked up only to see a guy with turquoise, no sea blue eyes and bleach blond hair. He offered his hand out and I took it.

"No, it was my fault. I'm not quite familiar with this school yet." responded the man. He showed a smile that was seemed to light up my mood.

"Oh well, I hope that you find your way around here" I replied letting out a smile. We were both silent for a while until he asked me what my name was.

"Vanessa, what's yours?"

"Tristian."

"Well it was nice meeting you Tristian." After I said this he let out a chuckle. Honestly he seemed nicer than really anyone at this school.

I was able to make it to the bathroom only for Ashley to come following me in. She had this concerned look on her face like I did something extremely wrong.

"So, what's up" She asked with the look of anger.

"What do you mean?" her face grew with anger as she responded to my question.

"You know, that guy that you bumped into, Dimitri's face, you ignoring him. So once again what's up?"

"Wait what?" Now her face changed from anger to annoyance.

"Oh don't tell me you didn't know that Dimitri has something for you." I became completely oblivious.

"Who are we talking about?" She let out a puff.

"DIMITRI"

"I don't know who that is? Was he the person that was at our table?"

"Uh yeah" To tell the truth of it all I really didn't know who she was talking about.

We decided that we would talk about it later since lunch was almost over when we arrived back at our table that man was gone and I decided that it was time. So I went to class hoping that I wouldn't into that Dimitri again.
