"Damn Rose!" Adrian said as he hit the hard, sweat soaked mat on the Gym's floor. I had just knocked the Bastard on his ass. I smiled triumphantly and offered a hand for him to get up. Right in the middle of me thinking to myself what an amazing and skilled athlete I was however, I was yanked on the floor right next to Adrian. I turned myself to glare at him. And immediately burst out laughing. Which he then proceeded in doing also.
"My best friend is pretty strong, to have gotten me down." He said to me with a gleam in his eye. A gleam I had come to know far too well from over the years.
"My best friend…." I paused to prop my head up on my hand. "Is a complete ass!" I yelled, punching him in the chest. He rubbed where id hit him with mock hurt.
"That was a pretty good move Ishkov. Caught me completely off guard." I said.
"Well, you know. I learn from the best." He said, winking at me.
I raised my eyebrows at his complement, debating the sincerity.
"The best, being your mom. Obviously. All these long nights with her keep me in shape." He winked at me, "She likes it rough."
I fought the overwhelming urge to hit him. Instead, I just laughed, his uses of lame "your mom" jokes always are funny.
"You… are… such… a loser!" I gasped in between bouts of giggles. He waggled his eyebrows at me and jumped up from his position on the floor, walking over to the boys showers. "See you later Rosalita!" He yelled as he walked around the corner. He never actually called me just Rose. I stayed on the floor a minute, gaining my breath from our rigorous training session. I got up and used the towel from a nearby bench to wipe myself off, and walked over to the opposite wall to the girls showers. Adrian Ishkov was my best friend. Had been since I caught him trying to peek down my shirt in 8th grade.
I punched him.
Boom. Friendship born.
We were both guardians here at the Royal Court. He was guarding Vasilisa Dragomir, who was actually pretty nice. I, said to say, was guarding Dimitri Belikov. Adrian and I were overjoyed to find out we were both guarding such prominent royals, knowing we could both be at court together. And Adrian was super happy to be guarding Vasilisa. They had been pretty good friends previously. I, on the other hand. NO such luck with Dimitri. Sure, He was mega fine, in every way. But he was an ass. Just an obnoxious, self centered royal.
I stepped in the shower and let it get as hot as humanly possible. Or I guess as unhumanly possible, considering I'm not human. Hmm, Unhumanly or inhumanly? Is that even a word? Man, I needed a dictionary.
Well, let me clarify. Im a dhampir. Which, no, is not human. Adrian is one too. Lissa and Dimitri, on the other hand are moroi. And even more so, Royal morio. Yeah, I know.
The scorching hot water beating down on me was perfect. It helped me relax, which I totally needed. Tonight was gonna suck. Its because of the ball, It was tonight. It was yet another event that got together all the royals. Which is just what we needed. All the world's most prominent morio in one confined space. The protection duty was going to be overwhelming. I mean, it's not even like we really need it. We were at the royal court, so everything was already top notch safe. The only thing that was really gonna suck, was just the fact that it was gonna be boring. Slow dance music, with nothing to do but watch filthy rich moroi mingle,and talk about their oh so stressful lives. Full of planning parties and doing absolutely nothing impactful. But, hey dont get me wrong. No moroi resentment here. Its just annoying.
Overall though, it was going to be a piece of cake.
Hmm, that reminded me.
I was damn hungry.
