Rose Pov

It was two months since the day in gym, when finally Dimitri confessed his love for me. Rose Hathaway, remembering dates? Aargh…. Love makes people do crazy things. Anyways, I dragged myself up from my cosy bed and took a quick shower. Today I will surprise comrade.

Wearing my hair up, I checked myself one last time, before I jogged towards the gym a good 15 minutes before practice started. He was not there, as I expected. I don't know if my present is weird but it is 100% original. Moreover I doubt he will take anything expensive from me. I started doing the warm up exercises. He is late. I got bored out of waiting and proceeded to the laps. I completed my five mile run but still he was not here. Where the hell is he? Then a childish thought crossed my mind. Is he hiding? Nah, that was so un-Dimitri like. Realising only 15 minutes were left for classes to start, I headed towards my room, disappointed. On my way I met Alberta."Guardian Petrov, do you know where Dim-Guardian Belikov is? He didn't turn up for practice", sounding as if I am his mentor, not the other way round."He is catching up with his new student." "New student?" "Yes, a new arrival. Normally just before the graduation we don't admit any novice, but under such circumstances.." "Which circumstances?" "She was a student at St. Basil's. Due to the damage caused during the recent strigoi attack, the students were transferred to different academies. She came to ours and for a few weeks, Guardian Belikov will mentor her, just to help her adjust to the standard here" Great. Miss "She" is here to interfere in my romantic interludes and mess with my hot mentor. "What is her name?" Just then her cell phone beeped, and she hurried off with a hasty "See you later".

Out of anger and resentment, I decided to take a day off. Suddenly the day didn't seem so great. He could have at least informed me. I kicked my shoes off and slumped on the bed. Why will he inform me? Now he has got lovely Miss "She", who needs Rosemarie Hathaway? Angry at Dimitri and the new bitch in school, I slept. Suddenly Adrian popped up, this time in some cherry blossom tree garden. He dressed me in a simple black dress with a bow (Link in my profile) which contrasted all the pink around me. He himself was wearing a plain black t-shirt and a cargo pant. Shit. My bad day will turn to worse. "Hi" I said in a offhand voice. "Why are you jealous?" "What?" How the hell he knows? "C'mon, cough up little dhampir. You're jealous and angry, your aura says so." Damn auras. And now he knows, Lissa will know too. With two months of constant practice, Lissa is now as good as Adrian in seeing this aura stuff. I was in no mood for Adrian's bantering, so I woke up to my stomach's call. It was nearly lunch time and I was so hungry I could swallow a psi- hound. I slipped into Lissa's head. As expected, she was worried about me. At least some one worries about me. I didn't feel like going to the cafeteria, and so I used my emergency supply of chips, chocolates and coke, which was to be used to satisfy my untimely hunger – which I experienced often.

After filling my stomach to my satisfaction, yet again I slipped into Lissa's head, as I was pretty bored. I saw her walking towards my dorm. Oh no. Lecture from mom. Today classes ended after lunch due to some guardian meeting involving the ball the weekend after next. Queen Bitch was going to visit the school yet again for some reason which I wasn't interested in. Seconds later, Lissa walked in. I braced myself for a lecture about the effects of bunking classes, but it was nothing like that. "Rose, what happened?" she asked softly. I wish I could say. "Nothing, just not feeling to listen Stan brag tod-" "You're lying " she interrupted. How does she know? "Rose, please say me what you are hiding. We are supposed to be best friends for God sake. We are here for each other, not to hide stuff from each other" But the truth will break you, you will blame yourself. "Rose please... I will not say to anyone, not even Christian." This selflessness caught me. Christian was a part of her soul, and she was ready to keep him in dark. She must have really been hurt because I kept her in dark. "Okay Liss", I sighed, defeated. "Well, umm… I am in love" She flashed a big smile, with 32 all out, fangs included, which was rare for Lissa. "Oh great, why didn't you tell me before?" "Well, it's kinda forbidden" "Huh?" Lissa asked, confused. I closed my eyes, took a long breath and started "I am in love with Dimitri but he is my mentor so it's illegal and you are both of ours charge so if we love each other we can't protect you" I rambled in one breath. Lissa was used to my rambling and hence understood it at one go. "Does he feel the same way?" I nodded in affirmation, remembering Miss "She" and jealousy flashed through me. Luckily, Lissa was pondering on something else so she failed to notice. "I'm sorry." I fell from sky. I knew it. "It's for me you and Guardian Belikov can't be together." Oh great. Now she is upset. "Liss, stop. It's nothing like that. You are my best friend. When I graduate, I am going to be your guardian. It's my wish to be your guardian, even if whole world revolts I am gonna be your guardian. We will find another solution to this problem." "Really?" "Absolutely." She gave me a bear hug. "Busy this afternoon?" "Nope". We both grinned like idiots.

After hours of gossip, online dress shopping, nail painting and all such girly stuff, I felt really good. I hadn't spent time with Lissa since ages, and now she knew about my affair, I felt relieved. Suddenly Lissa jumped. "Oh my god, it's already 7.30. Rose, I have to leave. I have heaps of homework to complete. Sorry you had to miss your practice." Wouldn't have attended it anyway. With a"Bye Rose" she hurried towards the Moroi dorms. I had nothing to do except homework, and I am not a homework person, so I went out for a late evening stroll. I took to left, went down the stairs, sneaked through the double doors and started walking. A pleasant breeze, soothing temperature and the beautiful sun took my mind off from other things.

Just when I felt calm and peaceful, just behind me, a deep voice with a Russian accent called out, "Rose".
