I jumped and looked into the kitchen. "Mason… um why are you still up?"

He chuckled and slid back the chair. "Waiting for a call from the college. They said they'd call today so I've been waiting."

I shook my head. "Go to bed. Their not going t call you in the middle of the night"

He nodded and walked past me. "That's true…"

I watched him walk up the stairs slowly then went into the kitchen and grabbed a glass of water. As I sat at the small table thinking I realize I should be asleep so I could get up early in the morning and go for a jog then college. I sighed and lifted myself out of the chair then walked groggily up to my room. I quickly changed into my baby blue nighty then slid into bed. Sleep was found easily, but why did I have to dream of 'THEM!' I hate them they ruined my life. Why should I have to leave when it wasn't even my fault? Well it was my fault but it was the first time.

"Rose?" I wearily opened my eyes and saw Dimitri shaking me awake.

"Yeah?" I asked as I sat up, running a hand through my hair.

"Your alarms been going off for the past ten fifteen minutes." He explained walking out of my room.

"Dimitri" I called him back. "What's the time?"

He chuckled. "5.15 why?"

I shook my head and pushed him out of my room so I could shut it. 'Time to get ready' I thought. As I dressed into some jogging shorts and sports bra then headed downstairs to Dimitri cooking breakfast.

I poked my head into the kitchen. "Going for a jog, smells good though"

I saw a small smile and then headed out the front door and down the path. As I ran I didn't think about them or anything else, I just thought about my dream to become a personal trainer. Maybe Dimitri could help me I wondered. As I replayed different scenarios in my head about asking him I realized I was back at the house and opening the door.

"I'm back" I called out.

I heard a faint reply from the kitchen by Mason and Dimitri and headed upstairs for a shower then school. As I stepped into the bathroom I turned the water on and waited for it to heat up. I stripped out of my clothes and stepped up the water, washing away all of the dirty and sweat off of my body. After a good half hour and lots of knocking on the door from the boys I stepped out of the shower and wrapped a towel around my body and headed out to my room.

"Hey. Some of us also need showers" Mason teased.

I gave him my perfect, Rose Hathaway smile then shut my door and changed into some jeans and tight fitting top and looked for my schoolbooks that were needed today. After quickly grabbing everything I rushed out of my room grabbing an apple to eat before class. As I drove I listened to the radio and wondered if the local gym was looking for anyone to hire as a personal trainer. I met Lissa in the parking lot and headed to class with her but parted ways for my second lesson. As I walked across campus I bumped into Dimitri who had a group of girls following behind him.

I shook my head at him as I passed but earned a slight chuckle from him. God his so irritating I thought.

After classes were over I stopped to talk to Eddie and ended up getting some coffee as we walked and talked to our cars.

"So did you end up finding a place?" He asked

"Yeah, with two guys. Ones nice and charming but the other is just a dog. Thinks his all top shit because his seven years older or something." I replied

"Seven years?" Eddie shook his head. "Shouldn't he be married and with kids maybe?"

I shrugged and leant on my car. "Maybe but I don't think it my place to ask"

Nodding he pulled his keys from his pocked, swinging them on his finger. "Well true. I should get going before I'm late for work" He smiled and gave a small wave before getting into his car.

I nodded and got into my own and drove to my mailbox to collect my mail and paycheck along with some bills. I sat in the car flicking through all of my mail when one envelope caught my attention. I flipped it over in my hand wondering who would send me a pink envelope with no return address. I held it up to the light wondering what was in it but only a piece of paper was shown.

"Damn" I muttered under my breath.

I put it in my bag with the rest then headed back home to study for my Health and The Human Body exam in two days. As I arrived I but my things in my room and turned my laptop on before going down to find something to eat. As I walked back up I heard the door open and someone call out for me. I poked my head around the corner before walking up the stairs.

"You called?" I asked Dimitri

"Yeah next time if you want a long shower like you did this morning, have them earlier, you nearly made Mason and I late for class. Seriously think of others.

"Sorry" I said sarcastically and jogged up the stairs to my room and started writing up notes.

After a few hours studying I heard Mason come home and speak downstairs a bit with some people before coming up and knocking on my door.

"Yeah?" I called and saved my work.

He stuck his head in and smiled. "Care to come down and help with dinner?"

I nodded. "Yeah give me five"

He nodded and left, shutting the door quietly. I raised my knee up and printed out my work then headed down. As I walked down I took notice in the walls. They had photos of Mason and Dimitri together with a few other guys who I didn't recognize. I entered the kitchen and saw Dimitri and Mason sipping beer and laughing about something.

"Finally" Dimitri groaned

"Shut up, If you wanted me you should of got me earlier" I growled

"Hey" Mason stood. "No need to argue. Rose we're having nacho's is that fine?"

I glared at Dimitri but as Mason spoke I looked to him and smiled. "Sure"

He smiled and helped me make them, showing me where everything was so I could cook for myself when needed. The phone rung and Dimitri got up to answer it; I took this opportunity to ask some questions without being yelled at.

"So what course are you studying?" I asked Mason

"Marine Biology" He replied smiling. "It always interested me and when I started studying it at school I realized this was for me and I've been hooked since. You?"

I shrugged. "Sport Coaching"

He nodded. "Dimitri's doing a course like that you should ask him for help if you nee any. So where you working then to pay for that?" He asked

'Think Rose Think. Make up some excuse like a café or restaurant that works 24/7' I bit my lip "Umm a… umm 24 hour restaurant" I lied.

He nodded. "Sounds fun"

He reached into the oven and grabbed out the nachos then called Dimitri. We ate in silence before I excused myself and went back to finish studying, hoping my phone wouldn't ring and ask me to come into work. I felt my eyes becoming heavy and droopy before I saved and logged off and went to bed, curling up and sleeping deeply.
