AUTHOR'S NOTE: I am rewriting the story! I will be fixing typos, grammatical errors, plot flaws, and I might change the plot a little bit.

I don't own Vampire Academy, I only own my plot!
Chapter 1:
I was on my way to my 3rd period class when I dropped all of my books onto the ground. As if today wasn't bad enough. I woke up late, didn't have time to eat, and was last for my first class. Now, I'm on my way to being late again. I started picking up my books when I noticed a tall, muscular dhampir kneeling down to help me, I suppose.
"Here, let me help you, Princess." I stood up to see who this was that had a beautiful honey smooth but thick Russian accented voice.
I instantly got lost in his deep, dark brown eyes. "Um, thank you." I wasn't sure what to say. He smiled at me with compassion. There was a long silence of our eyes locked on each other. Finally, he broke the silence. "I'm Dimitri Belikov. I just transferred here from Siberia." Well, that would explain the accent.
"I'm Rose." I coughed. "Rose Hathaway." The same old royal introductions. I was still lost in his beautiful eyes.
He nodded in acknowledgement. "It's an honor to finally meet you, Princess Hathaway. I've heard nothing but good about you." He bowed as a sign of respect for a royal.
I rolled my eyes and laughed. He looked at me confused. "Sorry, it's not you. I'm just not used to being called princess. I'm still getting used to it." I suddenly got really sad and looked. "My family died in an accident a couple months ago, and now I'm the last of my line." A tear rolled down my cheek. He wiped it away and took my books in his very muscular arms. "You don't have to carry those. I'm perfectly capable." I smiled at him.
"Oh, I know that. It's just how I was raised." He responded collectively and kept looking forward as we continued to walk.
"To kiss up to a royal?" I joked, not meaning to be rude, but just trying to be sarcastic myself.
He shook his head. "No, to respect a lady." He stopped to tell me, obviously being serious.
"Oh." That was all I could say. Being that it is so rare to be the last of a royal line, I was used to being treated different. People wanted to know me, to be my best friend, but only so they can get the popularity. It wasn't to show actual respect. I wasn't used to being genuinely respected as a person instead of a shiny toy.
We arrived at my class when he finally gave me back my books. I smiled and shook his hand. He bowed and walked away. I made a mental note to definitely get to know him better. I spaced out during Pre-Cal, thinking about Dimitri. His beautiful eyes, his warm smile, and the way he treated me like a lady, not a royal.
"Rosemarie Hathaway!" I instantly refocused. "You must go see Headmistress Kirova immediately. I grabbed my books and groaned as I walked towards the door. Who knew what I did this time.
As I entered the headmistress's office, it appeared to have a military style to it. "Have a seat, Rose." Kirova instructed.
"Am I in trouble?" I asked cautiously.
She chuckled at my hesitation. "No. For once, you're not." I laughed and let out a deep sigh. She stood up and started pacing. I looked around at her office. Correction: her dull office. Seriously! There was nothing exciting about the gray walls and military layout.
Suddenly, the head guardian of the school, Alberta, who was followed by two other guardians I assume and a younger guy, entered the room with grace and efficiency. I turned around but I couldn't see the younger guy's face to see if it was someone I recognize. Alberta nodded respectfully at me.
"Rose." Kirova caught my attention again. "We wanted to inform you about your new guardian." I was confused. Guardian? Royal Moroi that were still minors didn't usually get guardians until after graduation!
Alberta spoke up for the first time. "Princess, you must understand the situation. You are the very last of your family line. We must ensure your safety. Think of it more as of a bodyguard! He's a..." A small smile showed up on her lips "...and I do mean bodyguard because he hasn't exactly graduated yet but is well suited to the situation; to protect you for the time being. He's a senior novice."
"But Alberta! I'm always surrounded by guardians. I don't see why I need a personal…. Bodyguard." It was really weird to say.
"I don't know, Princess. All I know is that it's the queen's orders." She replied. I rolled my eyes.
"So who's my 'bodyguard'?" I wasn't at all thrilled but I was extremely curious.
"Why, me of course!" The familiar voice, unidentified faced finally revealed. I froze. Jesse Zeklos. I gasped. "Hey babe, did you miss me?" The jerk said with a smirk.
My ex boyfriend. My abusive ex boyfriend is my new bodyguard.
