As it seemed, Dimitri knew the Ozera kids really well. Or should I say he knew Tasha really well?

These two didn't seem very social. After I greeted them, they excused themselves and went to sit at a table at the corner of the room. After a minuet, Dimitri joined them. As for me, I went back and sat with my friends.

But back to the point. Dimitri and Tasha were talking excitedly about something I didn't know. Her brother, Christian, seemed like he didn't care about what they were saying as he was looking at his hands with his face blank.

I saw Tasha leaning near Dimitri and whispering something in his ear. Dimitri laughed and looked at her with appreciation. Dimitri never showed that kind of emotion to any girl. He usually looked at them with the look of a boy who wanted to make out. I was the only girl that looked at her like this.

I frowned. I didn't like it.

As I watched them I noticed Aaron coming in our table, holding hands with Mia Rinaldi. This girl was a year younger than me –that means she is fifteen- but she looked like she was thirteen with her annoyingly innocent face and her blond hair.

Aaron and this little snake that he called girlfriend sat at Dimitri's empty sit.

"Hey, the Ozera kids are here" he whispered.

Mason rolled his eyes. "We can see them" he told him. "We are not blind".

"Yeah" he said without losing his excitement. "But do you know anything about them?"

"The only thing I know is that they are Dimitri's friends" I answered him.

Aaron looked at us. His gaze stayed longer on Lissa witch made Mia glare at her. Did I mention that Aaron was Lissa's ex?

"Rose, their parents became Strigois willingly" he said taking his gaze away from Lissa. "They are dangerous. They might decide to become Strigois too"

Everyone in the table stayed frozen. Was this true? Did Dimitri know? Was this the reason everyone glared at them?

"Does Dimitri know?" I wondered.

Adrian who was sitting next to Victoria snorted. "I think he does" he told me. "And look at him. He is so into Tasha".

I giggled. "Oh, please" I told him. "Dimitri wants to make out with every girl in the planet"

"Trust me on that, he likes her very much" he said with a grin.

Sometimes Adrian was so weird. No, forget that. Adrian was always weird, but sometimes he was even more. He spoke like he knew about what other people were thinking.

But who was I to talk? I was the one who was sixteen and didn't specialize yet. I was the one who had all those weird dreams, the dark thoughts and feeling. I was the freak.

Anyway, Adrian wasn't a student here. He was eighteen and had graduated. But, for reasons I couldn't imagine, he chose to come and stay here at the academy.

"Maybe they'll get together" Natalie said with a dreamy smile. "Can you imagine it? The player with the school's freak"

I sighed. "Natalie, you should stop reading romance novels," I told her. "Anyway, I don't think that they'll be together. Maybe they'll make out, but that's all".

Victoria coughed. "First of all they are not freaks" she said annoyed. "Tasha and Christian are just fine. They suffered a lot in their lives, that's all. And they are not dangerous. As for my brother, I think Adrian is right. He had a thing with her last summer. Seriously, she's a year alder than him but that's okay with me. She's the only girl that made him stop acting like a man-whore"
