I blushed and looked at the floor. Adrian grabbed my chin and I looked into his eyes. And I daw something that I had never seen before. But I had no clue what it was. I had just noticed that he was staring at my lips. I bit my lip in the hope of teasing him. I watched him carfully. As my lip started to slide underneith my teeth. I could tell I was driving him crazy. But the night had just begun. I pulled away and grabbed his arm. I assumed we would be leaving the grounds. But instead stopped walking with me. I let go of him and turned to face him, confused.

"You dont know where we going." I shrugged. "So, dont try to lead, love." I blushed and nodded. He took me arm through his. We walked all around the grounds until we had reached a part of the campus I rarley came to.

I stopped walking with Adrian. "Wait, were staying on school grounds?" He chuckled a bit.

"Of course Rose." He smiled a little.

"Who's all here?" Adrian shrugged.

"My family, a few royals, some guardians." He rolled his eyes. I sighed and he took my into the building. Everything looked gorgeous. And so did everybody. Everyone looked so elegant. Adrian dropped his head to my ear.

"Come on, I want you to talk to my parents." He whispered. Adrian guided me across the floor. I felt like there were so many pairs of eyes upon me. I shrugged them off. Suddenly Adrian stopped walking. I noticed a man standing in front of us. This must be Adrians father. I was actually nervous to meet Adrians father. Then, he turned around.

"Ah, hello son." Said Adrians dad.

"Hello father." He nodded. Then pulled me closer. "This is Rose Hathaway." The man nodded. Looking me over carefully.

"Rose this is my father Nathan Ivashkov." Nathan cleared his throat.

"Rose, its so nice to meet you. I hear many lovely things about you. Especially your mother." I felt a pang of lonliness then. "I trust you as great of a Guardian as she?" I shrugged.

"Shes extrememly good." Nathan nodded. Watching me closely. He made me nervous, like if i said the wrong this, I would be dragged out by my hair.

"Well Adrian. I would love to talk to you and your... date." He said. As if I was unworthy. "But, there are other people I must see." Adrian nodded. Nathan turned to me. "It was a pleasure to meet you, Rose Hathaway." He extended his hand, and I shock it firmly.

"Likewise." Then he turned and left Adrian and I. Adrian let out a sigh.

"Well," He ran a hang through his hair. "It could have gone worse." I laughed. Then Adrian grabbed my hand. "May I?" I giggled and nodded.

Adrian took me and danced slow with me. The entire time his eyes were on mine. I couldnt seem to pull mine away. It seemed like it was the same for him. We danced for what I thought was minutes, but was probably longer. He emerald green eyes poured into me. Then again I noticed the feeling of eyes watching me. I forced myself to pull away from Adrian. Puzzled he looked at me. "What's wrong." I quickly glanced around to see if i could find whoever was watching me. I shock my head.

"I'm thirsty." Adrians face relaxed.

"Ill get you something-" He started to turn and leave but i grabbed him.

"No, ill get it." I smiled. "Besides you havent spoken to one person here yet. And so many of them want to talk to you." I pushed him a little. "Go be social." He smiled and kissed the top of my head before walking past me. I sighed and stared foreward. I started to walk to a refreshments table, when a very attractive couple move past me. That's when I saw him. The man who had been staring at me. He was leaned up against the wall, with his arms folded across his chest, talking to some women, but he was looking straight at me. I recognized him as Dimitri.
