It was Friday morning and I got out of bed to get ready to meet my Russian goddess in the gymnasium. I took out my clothes from the drawer and got in the shower. The warmth of the water relaxed my muscles. God I've been working so hard lately. I thought to myself. I got out of the shower and got changed into my clothes. I blow dried my hair and tied my hair up into a high ponytail showing my two molnija marks.

I ran to the gymnasium excitedly and saw my Russian goddess sitting on the bench wearing his usual duster and he was reading his Western novel. I walked up to him and sat beside him. His eyes flickered to look at me. "Good morning, Comrade." I said smirking.

"Run 20 laps around the field." He told me. Huh, that was strange. It feels like he's ignoring me. Usually in the morning he'll sneak behind me and kiss me sneakily on my cheek but right now, something's wrong.

We finished our lesson quietly and it was time for breakfast. Something is up and I'm going to find out. Dimitri finished packing up the things that we used for our lesson today and I went up to him. "Is everything okay?" I asked him. He simply just nodded.

"Dimitri, I know something's up. You have to tell me what's wrong. Please" I begged him. I did my puppy dog face but it didn't work.

"Nothing's wrong, Rose. I think you better leave." He said coldly which surprised me. He saw it. "I mean, it's breakfast. You have to eat something." He told me sounding less coolly. I simply nodded and walked out of the gymnasium towards the commons. Something was bothering Dimitri. I know it. And I need to find out soon.

When I entered the commons room I sat down across Adrian, next to Lissa. "Hey little damphir, how are you?" Adrian asked me smiling. Adrian was so cute but then he gets over the top sometimes.

"Not good." Everyone's eyes were staring at me waiting for an answer. "It's about Dimitri. Something seems to bother him. And I HAVE to find out what it is. It's bothering me, too."

"Aw, it's okay, Rose, maybe he'll tell you sometime. You just need to be patient." Lissa tried to soothe me and it worked.

"Yeah I guess you're right, Liss." I told her and hugged her. "Thank you." I smiled at her.

"You're welcome." She smiled back at me.

Christian then finally joined our group. He looks tired. He was wearing a white polo shirt and cream pants. His hair was all messed up. What was wrong with everybody today?

"Sparky! What's up with you?" I asked him. Trying to sound concerned but I failed.

"Ha-ha. Nothing's up with me. I'm just tired." He yawned. Lissa started talking to him. I was bored so I started staring at Adrian to annoy him. He started blushing.

"See something you like, little damphir?" Adrian asked me.

"No, I don't at all. Does it annoy you?" I asked him trying to seduce him.

"To be honest, yes it does annoy me. Why can't you just love this beautiful face instead of that Russian face?" he asked me.

"Well that's great! I finally can annoy Lord Adrian Ivashkov. And I have no answer for that, sorry." I smiled at him and he smiled back. His smile was adorable! Why can't I love that face instead of Dimitri's? And speaking of Dimitri, I had to know what he was up to.

The bell went and my academic studies were over. I needed to train with Dimitri and I was going to confront him. I got changed into my usual training gear and went to the gymnasium. I was a little scared because I was scared. Scared of what he'll say. And yes, Rose Hathaway is scared.

I got to the gymnasium and Dimitri was there sitting down quietly. "Dimitri I have something to ask you." I said.

"I have something to tell you first. Sit down, Rose." He told me and I sat down next to him. I got nervous so I started fidgeting with my fingers. I waited for him to talk. "Rose, I took Tasha's offer."

"What offer?" I asked him and looked at him confusingly.

"Tasha asked me to be her guardian." And that's when my heart scattered into pieces.

"Oh, okay. I guess you two have fun. I'm feeling sick, can I please be excused?" I stood up and started walking until Dimitri held my wrist.

"Roza, I-I'm sorry." He apologized.

"You're SORRY? You never told me about this Dimitri and you're SORRY? What am I suppose to do? FORGIVE you? Are you crazy?" That's when I started to run away and succeeded. How could he think that I can forgive him? I know he accepted the offer because he can have baby with Tasha and not me. I get why he accepted her offer. He wanted a family that he can look after.
