"WHAT?" I couldn't believe my own ears.
" You remember when I told you I found a admirer when I moved here?" Fred asked me.
"Yes, I do"
"It was Dana.."
"No shit, Sherlock" sarcasm rolled from my tongue.
"Well she asked me out and I refused. I wanted to focus on school. She, as it appears doesn't deal with rejection well. "
" Just tell me, Fred. Stop beating around the bush."
" She set my dorm on fire"
"What?"
" Headmaster Saltzman wanted to expell her but Augustus Blossom voted against him. He has a bigger influence than Dr. Saltzman. So they suspended her 6 months. In that six months she went into therapy. When she came back, we could see that she was better than ever. She was excelling. Everyone was ready to give her a clean slate but then..."
" Then what?'
" She tried to push me down the stairs" Rose piped up, her face dark.
" No one believed me ofcourse. It was ruled out as an accident"
"You all believed Rose when no one did! Why?" I asked.
"We saw it happen" William said.
"Then why was it ruled out as an accident?"
"Because it happened on a crowded stairwell, it kinda looked like an accident" Will said.
" We couldn't just forget what happened after the Rose incident" Fred said.
" Seeing you hug Fred and being that close with him,must have triggered something in her I guess" Dorian said.
"This is borderline crazy, guys!" I exclaimed.
" Dana and her tricks are borderline crazy. We cannot exactly do anything about her, we have no proof." Dee said.
" You had proof when she started the fire at the dorm?"
I could feel my blood starting to boil. I mean who keeps a psychotic killer on loose. If she tried to kill Fred, god knows who she will try to kill next.
"Kinda, she left her bracelet at the scene. Plus she confessed that she started the fire but she denied pushing Rose." Stefan said.
"This is freaking crazy!!" I said.
" Tell me about it" Damon smirked
"Why did Dana come back? I mean clearly she is not well and in desperate need of help" I asked genuinely curious and kinda scared
"Because of her parents. They don't believe in therapy. They don't want anyone to think there is daughter has problems" Will said.
" That's absurd"
"Tell me about it" Dorian replied.
After dinner we went back to our dorms. I just couldn't sleep.Something about this whole Blossoms' stopping Dana from getting expelled ticked me off. I mean why would Mr. Blossom save the girl who tried to burn down a building?
I woke up to the sound of extremely loud music. At first I ignored it. Ten minutes later, my eardrums couldn't take it anymore.
"What is this awful sound?"
"That's the Blossom twins" Dee groaned.
"How I absolutely didn't miss them" Rose said, covering her ears with a pillow.
Suddenly, there was a loud bang on our door. I got up and opened the door.
A girl, with strawberry blonde hair was standing there, one hand on her hips and the other on the wall.
" I heard someone new moved in. Must be you. I am Monica, the residential 'it' girl of Thornhill"
She gave a plucked face and raised her eyebrows.
" Hi, I am Catherine" I said, guessing that's what she wanted to know.
" Sissy, what's going on here?"
Another voice said.
A girl, with pale red hair came and put her elbow on Monica's shoulder.
" You must be the newbie. I am Erica Blossom, the residential 'it' girl of Thornhill along with my twin sister"
She gave me a similar face like her twin.
"I am Catherine"
"Cool, Kitty Kat" Monica said.
" So Katy, are you on the dance committee, same as your hobo roomies?" Erica asked.
"Screw with Bitcherica!" Dee yelled from her bed.
"Uhh! Hobos' " Erica groaned.
"Yes I am on the dance committee and you two should focus on school and try to learn something and act all bimbo this early. Also my name is Catherine with a C. Toodles!"
With that I slammed the door on their face.
"That was freaking awesome!! You rock, Cathy!" Dee giggled with joy .
" I know right?" I laughed and joined her on her bed.
Rose was laughing hysterically.
A moment later she said " Come on girls! We have dance to plan"
The dance was tonight. I was so excited.
Classes were of today because of the dance. After repairing whatever damage Dana made and adding some finishing touches we returned to our dorm to get ready for the dance.
Getting ready for the dance was fun . I never had girlfriends like Rose and Dee before. They hovering, frantically looking for items , giggling and joking around.
Rose got me a white flapper dress that accordingly to her " complements your brown hair and eyes" .
She did my hair and makeup like a 20's flapper girl, then helped Dee get ready and then got ready herself just in time!
This girl is amazing.
We decided to meet the boys at the dance. When we reached there I saw Bart first. He looked so cute in his
Stripped blazer cricketer look. Fred, Dorian, Stefan, Damon opted for 3 piece suits. William opted for a slim pinstripe ivory suit. He looked dashing in it, borderline hot.
I never really saw how hot he was.
Suddenly I realized he was staring at me. I raised my eyebrows and he blushed slightly and said
" You look beautiful Catherine"
"Thank you William. You don't look half bad yourself."
He gave me a toothy grin and extended his arm. Arching his eyebrows he said " Shall we?"
I held his arms while he led me to the dance. The dance was pretty amazing. I mean we worked our asses off for it.
"This is incredible" Will grasped.
"Thanks" I giggled at his expression.
He saw me laughing at him and gave me the cutest shy smile.
"Dance with me?"
"Why the hell not?"
He held my hand and led to the dance floor. A slow song was playing. I snaked my arms around his neck while his hands hugged the small of my waist.
"Well this is not very era appropriate, is it?" He whispered in my ears.
" Who cares , right?"
He gave a hearty laugh.
" I guess it doesn't matter"
He was leaning in and I am pretty sure I was too when I suddenly felt a pull on my dress.
