I'm sorry I haven't uploaded! I've been super busy, and I hope this chapter makes up for it :) I DO NOT OWN ANY VAMPIRE ACADEMY RELATED REFERENCES.

Sydney

"Morning Sage" Adrian greeted as soon as I stepped foot inside the glowing kitchen. Rose, Dimitri, Christian and Adrian were all sitting down at the red bar seats around a glowing glass table in the centre of the room. Ever since I told Adrian my surname last night, he hadn't called me 'Sydney'.

"Good morning everyone" I took hold of the caffeine maker in my hands, preying it wasn't decaf. I held a colourful spotted mug in my hand as I poured in the dark goodness.

"How did you sleep?" Adrian inquired; a mischievous grin overtook his face. Did he do something to me?! Rose smacked his arm forcefully, making the sound echo throughout the small room.

"Stop harassing the poor girl, douche" she snapped. Dimitri chuckled, admiration clear in his eyes. Christian, however, eyed the automatic doors as if an angel would appear at any given moment. I had seen the looks he shared with Lissa; they definitely liked each other, anyone could guess that.

"Morning" Lissa yawned, stepping into the room. She stretched her arms over her head, exposing her flat stomach. I felt self-conscious around Rose and Lissa; they attracted attention from everybody, and they could get any guy they wanted. Of course, I wasn't looking for love, but it was still slightly nice to get noticed by a few men.

"Liss, can you get me a doughnut?" Rose asked, taking a sip of Dimitri's drink. She spat it back in a second later, a scowl on her face.

"What is that?!"

"Coffee" he laughed, pouring the now ruined liquid down the sink. Rose gaged a few times before standing up and joining Lissa by the florescent counter.

"There are no doughnuts, Rose" Liss stated, scared for some reason. Rose's eyes bugged out of her head before she yelled, "I'm so reporting this". She ran into the diary room soon after, yelling out profanities and threats to 'the big man behind the microphone'. Adrian shook his head before taking a sip of his water.

"So, Sage, did you go to sleep in that?" I looked down at my khaki's and white polo shirt. I had changed as soon as I woke up; I wasn't expecting everyone to still be in their pyjamas. My feet were bare, and even then I felt slightly exposed.

"Don't be ridiculous, Adrian" I took another sip of coffee before taking the seat opposite him. Christian and Lissa were talking adamantly, occasionally laughing and joking around.

"So, how's your family life?" Adrian looked at me – those emerald eyes stared into my soul. His uncombed messy bronze hair fit his personality; messed up and disorientated. I didn't know why he wanted to know about Jared and Sarah, but it got to me. I didn't tell them I was going into the Big Brother house, because they would surely be disappointed in me. I was the daughter Jared wanted, and he got it, but then I found out he had an affair with some lady a few months ago. By that stage, I was like his little puppet, but that was the final straw.

"Excuse me?" I demanded, my voice coming out stronger than I anticipated. He shrugged his shoulders before finishing off the last drops of water.

"I need more vodka" he muttered, standing up and walking over to the liquor cabinet. My eyes bugged out of my head, much like what Rose did, before I stood up and walked away. I ended up walking over by the tree house. I climbed the rope with difficulty; strength and sports were my only disadvantages.

"Are you okay?" A girl called Mia asked me as soon as I made it to the top. She stared up at me near the pool, only wearing a faded pink bikini. She looked like a porcelain doll, and all she talked about last night was shopping and fashion. No joke.

"Perfect" I mumbled, although I knew she couldn't hear me. Instead of walking over, like I expected her to do, she turned back to her friend, Jill, and started talking with her. I sighed and closed my eyes. I was sure Jared didn't even know I had left the house, let alone being on a hit TV show. Hopefully, I'll be out of here before he could find out, or I would surely be hanging up on the wall with all of his animal heads. He was a great hunter, but I couldn't even kill a fly. It was in my religious views not to harm anything, especially animals.

"Sydney?" Rose called, jogging over towards me. She was now wearing black skinny jeans and a loose printed shirt, instead of her very short shorts and tight tank top. "I've got doughnuts!" I had to laugh, well, chuckle at her enthusiasm. She climbed the rope with ease – another thing to envy about her.

"Here" she placed a chocolate ring of pure sugar on my hand. I couldn't break it to her that I had a very strict diet of caffeine and vegetables. She would think I was weird, and I came here to try different things. But, I just couldn't do it.

"No thanks" I placed the doughnut back in the cardboard Kristy Kreme box, rubbing my fingertips together to get rid of the excess sugar.

"So, what's got you all riled up?" she asked, taking a bite of her third doughnut. She grinned at me before shoving the whole thing in her mouth. I snorted unattractively before telling her about Adrian, and how it rubbed me the wrong way.

"That's strange. I had Christian ask me if I had male genitalia this morning; it was very…interesting" I clamped a hand over my mouth to keep my raging laughter to a minimum. Rose chuckled too, finishing off her last doughnut. She dusted off her hands before lying on the wooden floor. It was surprisingly stable, considering we were at least five metres from the ground. The whole décor was a band theme, with Nirvana, Pink Floyd and Lana Del Rey posters hanging up on all the walls. There was a swinging chair in one of the corners, with a small 'L' shaped sofa on the other corner. It was a place to talk, and nothing more.

"What do you think they're getting at?" I asked, dangling my legs over the side.

"I wouldn't have a clue, but I swear, if one more person asks me a weird personal question, I will fuck someone up" Just as she said that, a loud booming voice surrounded the whole house.

"Rose, we do not allow profanity in the Big Brother house. Your actions had been noted" There was a loud chorus of claps and yells outside and inside, all cheering Rose for being the first person in trouble. I expected her to be upset, or angry, but instead, she was smiling and gloating about it like it was the best thing she's ever done.

"You're going to get in trouble" I warned, not knowing how she could be so 'chilled' about the situation. At that given moment, Adrian walked out of the automatic deck doors, only wearing emerald coloured surf shorts. His defined muscles flexed as he walked, and even though he was as pale as a ghost, he looked like pure perfection.

"Drool much, Sydney" Rose laughed, patting me on the back. I snapped out of it, and replaced my heated gaze for a glare. What were you thinking Sydney? You don't like him! If only my body reacted the same way as my mind.

"I wasn't drooling; I was mentally pointing out his imperfections" Rose made a 'pfft' sound before climbing down the ladder, clutching the doughnut box close to her chest. Adrian waved at her before focusing his attention on me. He didn't wave or smile, instead he just stared. Eventually, I made my way down the ladder, making sure I didn't fall and break my neck. When my feet touched the grass, I made my way inside, and wasn't surprised to find Tasha flirting with Dimitri. Even after making out with Jesse last night, she still chased after the Russian.

"Bitch" I heard Rose mutter before walking into the bedroom. I knew Big Brother was listening and watching our every move, and that angered and scared me for some reason. It was most likely the fact that I didn't have privacy anymore. With a sigh, I made my way into the bedroom and found Rose and Lissa talking on their bed.

"Hey" Lissa waved, rubbing on her bed for me to join in on their conversation. I sat down and listened to their 'girl talk', as they had put it.

"I want to jump his bones, I mean, have you seen that God? He is the definition of drool-worthy, guys" Rose went on about Dimitri, making very large hand gestures. Every now and then she would make a comment that was so out there and not expected, I was caught off guard. Lissa also spoke about how she had a crush on a guy in the house, but she never said his name, even though everyone knew it was Christian.

"What about Adrian, Sydney? He hasn't stopped looking at you" Lissa's words shocked me; I had thought he had been too caught up in his drinking and flirting to even notice me.

"I don't think he has those types of feelings for me. Maybe for Rose, but definitely not for me" I tried explaining, trying to block out the grins Lissa and Rose were sending my way.

"You're blushing!" they exclaimed. God, what if Jared was by some chance watching this? I would be dead before I even stepped foot in the house. It didn't matter that I could by some chance win $250,000 dollars, he would kill me.

"Rose, please report to the 'naughty corner'" Big Brother's booming voice broke out in the house. Rose groaned loudly before slowly making her way towards a glass window near the lounge room. It was tinted, so we had no clue as to where or what she was doing. Everyone took a seat on the large sofa before the tinted windows became clear, and Rose stood with all her might. There were at least a hundred little plastic bags full of deflated balls, and only a thick piece of tape and a pump.

"Rose, you have been caught on more than one occasion of using profanities in the Big Brother house. That…is not acceptable. To get out of the 'naughty corner', you must pump up all of the balls, but be warned. Most of them have holes in it. Enjoy" Everyone seated on the sofa cheered as soon as Rose picked up the first ball. She pouted at us, before getting to work.

Mason

I stared at Rose for what seemed like forever. Even though you suspected someone to look ugly pumping up ball after ball, she looked so perfect and graceful. Jill nudged my side and laughed as Rose groaned for the hundredth time in ten minutes.

"It's too fudging hard!" she yelled to us. Lissa and Sydney stayed by the window and said encouraging words to her. I was envious that they were all so close, even though we had barely been in the house for a day. I wanted, no, needed to get close to Rose before time ran out. But, I couldn't get to her if that Russian was in the way. I had seen them flirting back and forth all day, and I was jealous of their obvious attraction for one another. I wanted Rose to look at me like that!

"Could all male housemates, please report to the 'games room' immediately" Big Brother's booming voice engulfed us. Rose seemed to be the only one who didn't hear the announcement, because she kept pumping away. One by one, all of the boys stood up and walked towards the entrance of the 'games room'. The girl's kept asking us what that meant, but we would only reply with 'it's boy business'.

"What's happening?" Rose's confused voice made me laugh. She was too funny! All seven boys, including myself, walked through the room and were surprised to find a board with all of the secrets written on it in cursive writing. In a container, there was a magnet picture of all of the girls.

"Boys, you have ten minutes to discuss who you think is the holder of the secrets" Jesse stood up from his bar stool and walked towards the board.

"Alright, let's go around the room and say who you think holds what secret and why" He suggested, leaning against a cream pillar near the magnet board. For a dumb fuck like him, he sure sounded smart. He pointed to Ralf, who suggested Mia had no tear ducts, because he tried to make her cry and she wouldn't budge. Jesse placed Mia's picture next to the secret. In her picture, she looked at the camera with a cheesy grin, dimples on her cheeks.

"Okay, Adrian?"

"I think Sage has not met her parents, because she walked away as soon as I mentioned them" He sounded British when he said that, which made a few people laugh. Jesse put Sydney's picture next to the secret. She was giving the camera a toothy grin, but hurt was evident in her eyes.

"Dimitri, my man" Jesse tried. The Russian scowled at Jesse, before suggesting Camille of maxing out over thirteen credit cards, because all she ever talked about was how poor she was, and how much she loved to shop. Jesse placed her picture next to the secret. In the picture, her eyes were hard but a small smile covered her face.

"Christian?"

"I think Tasha's scared of the rain, because she refused to go in the shower with everyone watching" Jesse placed Tasha's picture next to the secret, but she looked like a demon waiting to come out. She tried giving the camera a sexy smile, but it looked like she had a little bit of stubble on her chin.

"Ed?" Eddie glared at Jesse for giving him that nickname, but eventually chose Jill for being a virgin, because she blushed around every single guy. He smiled just mentioning her – he was so whipped! Jill's picture looked more down to earth, where she was just smiling. Jesse chose Lissa for her family consisting of 'vampire hunters', because she seemed really into history. Her picture looked so innocent and angelic, where she turned to the side and smiled.

"Mason?" everyone turned to me, as I was the last person to speak.

"You have exactly one minute remaining" Big Brother said. I took a deep breath before speaking.

"I don't think Rose has male and female genitalia, but I do think she is a virgin. She doesn't seem like the sex type of person" Jesse put her picture next to Jill's. Hers was where she looked cheekily at the camera, winking to add to the effect. We filed out one by one, making sure not to spill the beans to the girls.

"Where the hell were you? And what is the 'games room'?" Mia demanded. She had changed out of her white jeans and tie died crop top and was now in some black shorts and bikini top. Damn!

"We were talking about boy business" Dimitri chuckled, walking over to Liss and Sydney with Christian on his heels. It was on between Dimitri and I; a race to win over Rose's heart. Speaking of the beauty, she still looked like a goddess, even though she was frustrated and kept throwing the balls at the wall. Her long brown hair cascaded down her back in soft waves that made her look that much sexier.

"Stop drooling, you're ruining the carpet" Jill joked, joining my side. I chuckled and followed her out to the pool, enjoying how she never stayed quiet long enough for there to be awkward tension. I joined Eddie by the pool, watching Mia show off and slowly dip into the pool. I didn't know who she was trying to impress, because Eddie had eyes for Jill and I definitely wasn't interested. Maybe the men out in the world watching us right now? She seemed like the kind of girl to tease boys.

"Mason! You need to get in; the water is so nice against my skin" Mia called, splashing me lightly with water. I chuckled and pulled off my shirt, following Mia's footsteps into the pool. I didn't know what she was talking about: the water was freezing! She swam closer towards me and pulled her arms around my shoulders.

"Are you cold? Here, I'll warm you up" she pressed her breasts into my collar bone. I wasn't going to lie, I was extremely aroused right then. But, I had too much respect for Mia to pull a move, especially when I was chasing Rose, and I didn't want her to find out.

"No, no! I'm fine" I stepped away from her. She looked disappointed before swimming over to Jill and Eddie, who looked extremely cozy.

"Mason, get your girlfriend away from us" Eddie laughed, pulling Jill into his side. She blushed as soon as she made contact with his skin. I mentally cursed Eddie for calling Mia my girlfriend, but nonetheless, I swam over to her.

"So, what do you want to do?" Mia suggested, twirling some of her hair around her index finger. What did I want to do? I contemplated hanging around Mia some more, but that thought quickly left my head when I pictured Mia trying even harder to get in my pants.

"I'm going to see Big Brother" I stepped out of the pool and wrapped a multi-coloured towel around myself. I walked through the automatic doors into the lounge room, glad to find Rose still in the naughty corner. Dimitri was the only one there, and they were talking like it was natural. Her head snapped up when she saw me, and a mischievous grin overtook her face.

"Hot, Mase!" I blushed at her comment, and nearly laughed when Dimitri sent me a death glare. I stepped into the fluorescent door leading into the diary room, and sat down in the glowing purple chair. The walls were black as well as the carpet floor. I sat down in the chair, and did my best not to drip water.

"Mason, what can I do for you?"

"Big Brother, I'm in a bit of a pickle" I waited a few seconds for him to respond. I stared at a plasma screen situated in the room for a second, before Big Brother responded.

"What sort of…pickle?"

"Well, Mia is acting very strange, and I feel like she's wants my pee-pee. But, I like Rose; cause, you know, she is a very fine specimen" I winked at where I thought the camera would be and nearly laughed at myself. Did I seriously just say 'pee-pee'?

"That is quite the dilemma" Big Brother didn't even sound bothered by the fact that a male housemate could possibly get molested.

"I don't think you get it, Big Brother" I chuckled. "She wants me, I mean, who wouldn't? I'm just not comfortable with the looks she's sending my way. You get my drift?"

"Mason…I get your drift" Before I could complain some more, the automatic doors opened up. Did he want me out? I got the hint, stood up and walked out. By now, Rose was seated on the sofa with Dimitri, where he was playing with her fingers. Oh no you don't!

"Hey Rose" I greeted, sitting down next to her. She smiled at me, but kept playing with the Russian's hands. She yelped when he pinched her sides, and then she burst out laughing.

"Stop it!" She giggled, smacking away Dimitri's raised hands. I huffed, and walked back outside. Mia waved as soon as she saw me, but I didn't wave back. I was in a back mood now, and no amount of flirting could take that away.

Well, what did you think? Who's POV should I do next? Because I want to get Tasha in there somewhere. Here's a question for all you reviewers; who would you vote for nominations, and why? I will upload as soon as I can!
