Author's Note: Hey peoples. I'm not going to write about the tour that Dimitri gave Guardian Makalov because I think that might bore you guys. So this takes place after the tour.

Again I say: these characters do not belong to me. They belong to the creator of Vampire Academy, Richelle Mead.


Chapter 3

Dimitri POV

"Thank you for the tour Guardian Belikov." Guardian Makalov said after we were done.

"You're welcome and please, call me Dimitri."

"Only if you call me Vanessa." She said with a smile.

I'll admit Vanessa was a very attractive woman. The first thing I noticed about her was her eyes. They were a beautiful blueish gray color that could make any man melt. Any man but me that is. I only had eyes for my Roza, and no woman could change that.

"Deal. So where were you before you transferred to St. Vladimir?" I asked trying to start a conversation.

"I was at an academy called Pushkin Academy. It's in Aleksin, Russia." (AN: This is a real academy and Aleksin is a real place in Russia I think, if I'm wrong please let me know.)

"You're from Russia?" I asked completely shocked. I mean I knew her last name was Russian but I just assumed that she was raised here in the US.

"Yup. I came here because the queen said you guys needed more guardians. And well, you know how it is with the queen."

"I sure do." I said thinking about Rose's little nickname for the queen. It's true; the queen can be a bitch a times and a tad bit demanding.

We continued the rest of our walk to lunchroom in silence. About five minutes later, we made it. Because it was lunchtime, everyone was here but as always I immediately spotted Roza out despite the number of people around me.

She was auguring with lord Ozera and from the look on his face, she must have been winning. 'Rose will be Rose and I wouldn't have her any other way'. I thought with love and amusement.

I turned around to face Vanessa and told her that I will be with Rose and would be right back.

"Can I go with you Dimitri? I don't know anyone here and I already met Rose, and she seems to like me."

From the look on Rose's face when I saw them together, I could tell that Rose hated her; but I wasn't going to tell her that. Nonetheless, I agreed and we made our way towards their table. I wasn't even three feet away from where they were and already hear Rose and Christian arguing.

"… Bitch if you don't give me back my damn donut, I will make sure your little man downstairs won't be able to function properly."

"But Rose, it's my donut! Why would I give it to you?"

"If you don't hand it over in the next five seconds, you find out why."

"Christian, just give her the donut."

"No way Liss. It's mine."

As much as I loved to see my Roza win this battle, I deiced it was time to make my presence known.

"Rose, leave poor Christian alone."

She spun around faster than I thought possible, and ran towards me.

"Comrade." She said as she practically jumped into my arms.

Christian shot me a look that said 'thank you' before eating the donut before Rose saw.

"Hey Rose." Vanessa said speaking for the first time.

Rose made a face full of disgust then said hey back and sat back down in her seat. I don't think Vanessa saw Rose's expression and if she did, she hid it very well.

"WHAT THE FUCK CHRISTIAN, YOU ATE THE DONUT? YOU SON-OF-A-BITCH!"

"Come 'on," I said to Vanessa, "I'll introduce you to everyone."

The first person to say something to me was no other than the drunk-head himself, Adrian.

"Wow Belikov, you and Lil Dhampir only been public for five months and you already found another chick?"

I ignored his comment and stared with the introductions.

"Vanessa that Adrian Ishakvo. You'll have to excuse him, most of the time he's never sober."

"So you're the queen's nephew." Vanessa stated.

"The one and only."

"Hi Vanessa I'm Lissa and that's my boyfriend, Christian, and our friend Eddie. Mia, our other friend, is at court. And I guess you've already met Rose." Lissa said finishing my introductions for me. Rose was right; Lissa loves to meet new people.

As they all got to know each other, I decided to sit by Roza. It's been two minutes and she hasn't said a word that has got to be a record.

"What's wrong Roza?" I asked with concern.

"Nothi-"

"And don't lie to me and say nothing."

She sighed before responding. "Dimitri, do you...umm…have feelings for Vanessa?"

I looked deep into her eyes searching to see if she was joking or not but when I saw that she was serious, I had to ask.

"Why would you think that?" My voice was filled with perplexity. Didn't she know that she was my one and only true love? That only she could capture my heart, my soul, the way that no other person could?

"Because I know for a fact that she likes you, I mean have you seen the way that she looks at you? And she gorgeous and even-"

"Rose, stop. Yes Vanessa is beautiful in her own way, but I only have eyes for you. And as for the whole her liking me thing, I doubt that she does."

"God Comrade, you are so oblivious to your surroundings. And you call yourself a badass guardian. Come 'on, you have got to have noticed the way her face fell when you said we were together, or the way her eyes fill with lust whenever she's near you."

"Rose, I'm pretty sure that Vanessa doesn't like me in that way; were just friends."

"Friends my ass."

I pulled her closer to me in hopes to try to convey to her that even if Vanessa did like me, I only love her; end of story.

"Rose," Lissa called, "We still haven't made plans for your birthday yet; so what do you want to do?"

Rose once told me that she hated whenever Lissa planned her birthday, saying that she always went overboard and she be buying her the whole mall. So knowing Rose, she probably just wanted to spend her birthday in her dorm, surrounded by her friends.

"Liss, I really don't want to do anything this year. Can't we just have a small gathering or something?"

"Sure Rose, it's your day."

"Liss, I mean it!"

"Okay Rose fine!" I could tell by the looks on Lissa face that she still was going to plan something big despite Roza's wishes. I know Rose saw it as well but instead of arguing more, she just let it go.

"When is your birthday Rose?" Vanessa asked.

"In two weeks." Rose said without any emotion.

"How old will you be?"

"Is that really any of your damn business?"

"Rose?" Lissa and I said at the same time. Except I said mine in the voice that Rose calls 'my mentor voice.'

"What?" She asked looking at me with that face she knew I couldn't resist.

"It's okay Dimitri, she right; that isn't any of my business." Vanessa said.

"Umm… Rose," Eddie said. This whole time he was talking to Adrian about something and since he hasn't spoken in a while, he had everyone's attention. "Shouldn't you and Lissa be heading to class?"

Because Rose and Lissa took a 'vacation' for two years, the only way they could graduate with their class is if the doubled upped. Meaning that along with senior classes, they had to take junior classes as well. They had to leave lunch earlier than they normally would so that they have time to squeeze all those classes in.

After lunch, the students don't go to class; they go to their dorm for about an hour and 30 minutes then go to class. During that hour the students can catch up on homework, get extra help, basically do whatever as long as their back by their next class.

But Rose and Lissa couldn't enjoy that free hour and 30 minutes like the rest of the students could, because they had to play catch up.

"Shit you right, come Lissa we got to go." Rose said getting up from my out of my arms. She then started pulling on my arm.

"Rose, what are you doing?" I questioned.

"You're coming with us today, right?" She asked with that same puppy dog face.

Sometimes I go with Lissa and Rose to guard their class if I'm not on duty. But I had Vanessa with me today I couldn't leave her.

"Rose, I have Vanessa with me I can't leave her."

"It's okay Dimitri. Can you just walk me to my room; I think I'll just rest for the remainder of the day."

"Sure." I said standing up.

Before we left, Lissa gave Christian a kiss that Rose made a comment on and then we were out the door. I told Rose that I'll be in her class in about seven minutes because I had to show Vanessa her room.

She wasn't too happy about that but left me with her anyways while she and Lissa walked away. About five minutes later we were in front of the building where the guardian stayed.

"Okay here we are. Room 179B is on the second floor. If you have any more questions just call my cell phone or come to my room; it's on the third floor at the end." I said while giving her my number.

"Thanks Dimitri. O and thank you for putting up with me."

"You weren't a problem." I told her.

"Well thank you anyways. Well, guess I'll see you later." She said when walking into the building. She was out of sight before I could even say anything else.

I then made my way towards the class that my Roza was in.
