"Rosemarie Hathaway." I was excited. Extremely excited. I was about to become Lissa's guardian! All my dreams about guarding her -I had wished that we could travel the world but we have to stay at the royal court for a while before doing that- were about to come true. I was anticipating Kirova's next words.

"You will be guarding Vasilisa Dragomir." I quickly jumped up from my seat which was among all the dhampir novices. I half ran to the stage to receive the package that was holding my stake and the information about Lissa, even though I already knew all about her. After all she was my best friend. No. My sister. I stood next to Lissa on the stage, grinning proudly. I tuned out for the rest of the time, just thinking about the future.
"Congratulations Guardians!" Everyone threw up their graduation caps. This was such a happy time for me and Lissa. I went to her and gave her bone breaking hug.

"Oh my god Liss! I'm your guardian!" I yelled.

"I know, can you believe it!" She yelled back.

After passing by everybody, saying our goodbyes and congratulations, I was walking back to my dorm when I ran into someone. I looked up and saw my mother and father standing there, my dad smiling at me and my mom standing stoic with her guardian mask on."Congratulations Kizim." He said leaning down to give me a hug. I returned it halfheartedly.

"Thanks Abe." I said.

"Yes Rose, I think you will be an amazing guardian. I'm glad you are able to be guarding the princess." My mother said.

"Please, guardian Hathaway, call me Lissa." Said Lissa, coming up from behind me, holding bags and boxes.

"What's this?" I asked, taking the boxes from her.

"It's our awesome outfits for tonight and my tools." She replied grinning at me.

"Well, uh, I guess I'll see you guys later." I said to my parents, giving them an awkward wave. they both mumbled their goodbyes. I smiled at Lissa and we ran to my dorm. I fumbled in my pockets till I found my key. I opened the door and Lissa dumped everything on my bed.

"Okay, lets get to work." She said happily.

"Okay, I'm just gonna go have a shower. Is that alright?" I asked her.

"Do what you need to Rose. I'll be here." She replied.

"Kay, thanks, bye." I said, she giggled. I quickly hopped into the shower and washed my hair. After that I put on my underwear and bra and slipped into my robe then put my hair up into a towel. I walked out and saw that Lissa had everything spread out.

"Oh crap, I forgot my curler. I'll be right back Rose." Lissa said.

"No no it's okay." I smiled. Seconds after she left the room, my phone beeped. I walked over to it to find that I had a message from Adrian. It said:

I look forward to seeing you at the party tonight, little dhampir.

Love Adrian, xxx

I sighed happily. After succeeding in my mission, I decided I would give Adrian a chance. He was now my boyfriend but nobody other than Lissa, Christian and Eddie knew. Well that was until he decided to hold my hand walking into the commons for lunch.

*** Flashback***

There were many whispers and murmurs and many eyes in the room turned to mine and Adrian's intertwined hands. We sat down at the table with our friends and were eating happily until someone tapped me on the shoulder. I turned around to see none other than Jesse and Ralf. What did they want now? "So Rose, I always knew you would end up as a bloodwhore. I'm just surprised that the day came so soon."

I had my fists at my sides. my knuckles turning so white that i thought they would break through the skin. Adrian grabbed one of my hands from under the table and held it, rubbing soothing circles into the back of it. I fought the rage and darkness that was sure to come. Adrian turned around to Jesse, giving him a death glare.

"I suggest you leave now, before Rose hurts you, or I will myself. Am I clear?" I swear if looks could kill, Jesse and Ralf would be dead.

"Y-yes." They stammered before running away like little girls.

*** End Flashback ***

I chuckled recalling the memory. I looked over to the door and saw Lissa walking in with a curling iron in her hand.

"Are you ready?" She asked me.

"Sure am!" I replied to her, sitting on a chair in front of my mirror. I closed my eyes as Lissa blow dried my hair. Next she straightened it, putting curls on the top. I felt her lightly brush my face with a small amount of powder and then she did my eye makeup.

"And your face is all done!" Lissa said. I opened my eyes and looked in the mirror. I looked pretty good if I do say myself. I stood up and let Lissa sit down in the seat. I put ringlets throughout all her hair and did a light makeup job, and applying some pink gloss to her lips. Now that our faces were done, it was time for our dresses. Lissa stood up and handed me the dress bag. She looked at me expectantly. I smiled at her and unzipped the bag. I stared, my mouth agape at the dress I was holding. It was strapless and violet and had a ribbon at the waist, the rest of the dress flaring out till mid thigh. Then she gave me a small box. I opened it up and inside there was a pair of black peep toe stilettos. I squealed and ran and gave her a huge hug. Then she pulled out her dress and it was dark pink and it gathered in around the breasts and was knee length. Then she got out her shoes which were silver Jimmy Choos.

we both put on our dresses and admired ourselves in the mirror. We were HOT!
We then realized that it was time for the graduation party to begin.
