RPOV:
Walking into my dorm room, after finally finding it after an hour of aimlessly walking, I dump my stuff on my bed. I hate this school already.
Not only am I the only girl here, other than Vasilisa and a few female guardians, but I also have to have a dorm room in the boys dorm section. Turns out they don't have a girls dorm rooms because Vasilisa is the only other girl and she shares a room with one of her female guardians.
So here I am, bored shitless, alone and in a boys dorm room. Plus to top off my shit list the room smells slightly.
I pulled out a perfume from my bag and sprayed it around the room. Now my room smells like a tarts hand bag but at least it has covered up the musky, dirty smell.
I started to unpack my things, putting away my underwear in one draw and hanging up some clothes in the cheap shitty wardrobe.
At least I have a attached bathroom.
Another thing to add to my shit list- the bathroom is not a bathroom, it is in fact just a toilet with a sink and a mirror. So I guess I have to share the shower room with the boys. Fuck no.
A knock at the door pulls me out from my inner rage. Behind the door stands the almighty Vasilisa Dragomir.
"Hello, im Lissa. I just thought I would come and introduce myself seeing as we are the only girls at this school. May I just add I am so glad to have another girl here, I thought I would go mad if I had to spend another 8 months here as the only girl student here."
Does this girl not breath? I mean she talks so fast. I flash her a tight lipped smile, not sure if I want to trust her.
"erm, yeah hey im Rose, nice to meet you I guess" I say, looking down at her outfit and comparing it to mine. It was obvious she was a girly girl. Wearing a light pink dress and white legging with a pair of white pumps sort of gave it away to me that we had completely different styles.
Here I was, wearing a pair of black skinny jeans, a pair of red converses and a plain red tank top. The only makeup I was wearing was black, thick eyeliner and mascara. My hair was messy and pulled to one side, where as hers was neat and perfect.
Yeah total opposites, but as the saying goes 'opposites attract', not that Im attracted to her.
"do you need any help unpacking?" she asked me. Ok, for a royal she did seem nice. I shrugged.
"sure, may as well help me, thanks."
We both walked into my room and walked over to my three suitcases that had been brought up to my dorm room an hour ago- may I just add I wasn't there when they got delivered as I was still aimlessly walking about looking for my stupid dorm room!
Lissa and I started to rummage through my suitcases and put certain things in certain places. I added some posters to my walls, such as The Kooks, All Time Low, ACDC and the Beatles.
I also added some other random stuff to the wall, like a photo of this beetle (the car) and a black and white vintage photo. Once everything was put away I put my empty suitcases under my bed and sat down on my bed with Lissa.
"so, who are your guardians?" Lissa asked me. I had to pause and think back to who Kirova said I had.
"erm Alberta something, and something Belikov" was my reply. I really do need to start paying more attention to what people say.
"oh" lissa said, with a strange look on her face.
"what?" Something was defiantly strange about this girl, but in a good way I guess. She still had a weird look on her face when she answered.
"Dimitri Belikov, that's his name. and the reason I say 'oh' was because, well he is one of my guardians. They must have switched so that you have him and I have someone else. Strange, they didn't tell me about it." lissa told me. Did she think I stole him from her?
"was he your up close guardian?" I asked. Lissa shook her head.
"no we weren't that close, my up close guardian is a girl called Anna, and I have many guardians, Dimitri was just one of the distant ones. But still, he is like a god, I feel a lot safer when he is around, no offence to the other guardians. Plus you have Alberta, she is a women of power. You did well getting those guardians." lissa said with a smile, though I couldn't quite help but think she was upset that Dimitri was now my guardian.
"do you and Dimitri have a thing going on or something? Its just you seem upset with the fact that he is now my guardian" I tell her. Because If I am being honest she seems upset about it all and I don't want her to think its my fault, after all she is the only other girl and I kind of want to get along with the only girl here.
"oh no, its not that, I was just thinking that maybe Dimitri didn't want to be my guardian and maybe he asked to be someone else's"
"I doubt that Liss, I can call you Liss right? But still I doubt he would ask to be someone else's guardian, can they even do that?"
"yeah you can call me Liss, I have to go now, just got some stuff to sort out, see you soon?" she asks, but before I can answer she is already out the room, shutting the door behind her.
Wow, that girl seriously need to calm down. I lay back down on my bed and stare up at the ceiling.
A loud knock at the door shakes me from my daydreaming/starring competition with the ceiling.
"come in" I shout, not being bothered to go and open the door. It will most likely just be Christian.
"hello I am Dimitri Belikov, I am one of your guardians" the man standing in my door way says. I sit up and smile.
"oh hey, so you are the one I stole from Lissa." I tease.
"yes I am" Dimitri says in a harsh voice and a tight lipped smile. Ok, he obviously doesn't want to be my guardian.
"wow, im obviously not everyone's first choice around here, yanoe if you like, you can just ask to become Lissa's guardian again and I will just have Alberta whateverherlastnameis" I say jokingly.
"I already have" Dimitri says. I have the distinct impression he isn't joking.
"wow seriously, dude just relax will ya, tell you what if they say no then Alberta can be the one to train me yeah? That way you can just relax and look after lissa unofficially and I will have Alberta and myself looking after me, ok?" I say in a not so nice voice. But seriously what is wrong with being my guardian?
"They already said no, they already said I have to be the one to train you and I already know you are going to get me in trouble, because when you do stupid things, it comes back on me. I am your combat mentor and you close guardian. So cut with wise cracks and don't make me look bad. You have training tonight so meet me down in the gym in 5 minutes" Dimitri said angrily and walked out of the room, shutting the door behind him.
What crawled up his ass?
I now just realised, that he was the one in the office that I smiled at but got ignored by. The tall foreign dude. Russian.
You know what they say about Russians, wink wink. Well I think they say it about Russians.
The gym. Do I feel like working out right at this moment? No, I feel like crawling up in my bed, sleeping for ages and then if it gets any worse in the morning peacefully dying there.
Walking over to my wardrobe I pick out a pair of grey sweats and a sports bra and my running shoes.
Peeling off my clothes and putting on my gym outfit didn't take long. It was pretty cold outside but I thought that one, we would be inside and two, I would warm up when we got going.
Locking my dorm room was an easy task, finding the gym however took a little bit of time. And by a bit of time I mean longer than the five minutes that Dimitri gave me to get ready.
When I finally found it with some help from a poor boy who looked to be around the age of 13, I noticed Dimitri was already in there. Doing chin ups. Might I just add- shirtless.
Can anyone say yummy?
"yummy" I mutter under my breath.
"you're late" Dimitri yells. And enter the not so yummy part of him. I role my eyes.
"sorry, I didn't exactly have a magic portal that lead my right into the gym, I actually had to go look for it. Thanks for the directions by the way" I say, sarcastically.
"ten laps. Outside!" he shouts at me. Well I think that's what he said I was to busy looking at a trickle of sweat sliding down his chest. A very toned, tanned chest. With a 6 pack, or was it an 8 pack. Mmmm yummy.
"now!" Dimitri shouts. Once again not so yummy. I head outside onto the running track that is outside. And fuck is it cold outside.
The wind instantly attacks my hair, leaving it all dishevelled. It also instantly attacks my nipples leaving them very, erm, pronounced?
"fuck" I mutter under my breath and I start running. Running has always been my weakness. Especially in the cold, I have this annoying habit where I seem to gulp down the air, that then makes my lungs and throat hurt and sometimes even my actual neck.
But I keep running. That is until I reach the 7th lap in which I am about ready to die. Instead of struggling on, I decide to just lay on the track, catching my breath.
"Rose, if you don't get up in the next ten seconds I am going to drag you back to the start where you will do another five laps" Dimitri started yelling.
I had two choices, I could either get up and only have to do another two and a half laps or I could lay here and pretend to be dead.
I chose option two.
Laying on my back, eyes closed, not moving.
"Rose get up right now" Dimitri says in an angry voice.
Eyes closed, not moving.
"im counting to three."
Eyes closed, not moving.
"one, two, three. Right that's it" Dimitri says.
Eyes closed, not moving…..and now screaming.
"Dimitri put me down!" I scream, well part scream seeing as my lungs still hurt from running.
"nope, you are doing another five laps" Dimitri states, before he dumps me at the start.
"Nooooo, please don't make me Dimitri, I'll do anything, just please don't make me run, my lungs hurt, my legs hurt, my feet hurt and im so tired. Im jet lagged from the flight and I have to be up early tomorrow for training. Please just let me go back to my dorm room so I can have a nice warm bath and sleep"
That was the first and last time Rose Hathaway would beg.
"No, five more laps".
"dick head" I mutter under my breath before I start running. I was angry now, really angry. Today had been shit, I am tired and fucking freezing. Plus I have to do another 5 laps. A serious case of fuck my life.
I knew Dimitri was waiting for me to whine about the laps, just so he could make me do more. So I kept my mouth shut and suffered in silence. I ran, and ran, and ran until my five laps were up and then I walked over to Dimitri.
"am I done?" I snap harshly at him. He nods curtly, and I turn on my heel and walk off, back into the gym and into the changing rooms, hoping for a nice shower.
That hope soon grew smaller and smaller.
Mental note: add another thing onto my shit list.
Review please, what do you think so far?
Why is Dimitri being such a prick?
Certain people in there reviews asked why they have fangs and why they are the only girls there.
The reason they have fangs should come out in more detail in a future chapter, but all people know at the moment is that they have them to 'pair' with someone.
And the reason they are the only girls will also come out in more detail in a few chapters when rose has a conversation with a certain person, but I will tell you the main reason is because they thought it would be safer for both of them to be together- being the last Dragomir and one of the only freak mutations dhampir/moroi means everyone is out to get you- and for everyone at the school be there to protect them.
If you have any questions just ask them in a review and I will either reply in a pm or write the answers in a next chapter.
