Hey! I thought it might be helpful to hear what Dimitri was thinking about last chapter. So, here it is! Thanks again to all who reviewed, favorited, or alerted this story, it means so much to me to hear your thoughts! Anyways enough babbling, heres chapter 3!

Dimitri POV:

"Nice job, you nearly had me beat." I told her as I helped her stand up after I beat her in our sparring match. It was true, she had almost beaten me. It had been a while since anyone had been that close to beating me, it was actually sort of refreshing, and kind of attractive. At my old school in Russia I was pretty much undefeated in classes that involved sparring and was on the track to graduating top of my class, that is until Ivan and I left. Now, this petite, beautiful, girl, had nearly done what few men could, I had to get to know this girl, I thought. Then, she snapped me out of my admiration by saying,

"You're not so shoddy yourself, Comrade." Comrade? Why was she calling me comrade? I gave her a confused look but just figured I`d find out later since the teacher had just come over to tell us what a good job we did and dismissed everyone to get changed.

As we began walking across the room to the locker rooms she started the conversation back up again by asking,

"I haven't seen you around here before, are you new?"

"Yeah I just transferred here, I was going to St. Basil`s in Russia but I left for a year then got caught, expelled, and sent here." I responded, not wanting to ruin my chances with this girl by elaborating on the reason why I left and got expelled. I expected her to ask about it but she didn`t think anything of it surprisingly.

"Oh, so you're a bad boy huh?" she said. I was going to tell her I wasn't but we were nearing the split between the boys and girls locker rooms and she interrupted me saying,

"You`ll have to tell be your crimes later, want to sit with me and my friends at lunch… uhh I don't think I caught your name," Geez how stupid am I! Not even thinking to get her name!

"Dimitri, Dimitri Belikov, and yours?" I responded trying to make it sound smooth and cool.

"Rose Hathaway, so do you wanna sit with me?" YES! OF COURSE! Why wouldn`t I want to sit with this beautiful, tough, funny girl? I was excited but didn`t want to let my voice betray me so I tried to make my voice calm and level saying,

"Sure why not, where do you sit?" her eyes lit up when I agreed, that had to be a good sign right?

"When you walk in the door near the far right corner, I`ll keep an eye out for you" she responded

"See you then Roza" I said while walking down the hallway that led to the boys locker room. I realized I had slipped and used the Russian form of her name but figured I`d explain later at lunch, besides I sort of liked it little better than her already beautiful English name.

After changing out of my workout clothes I went off to my next few classes where I couldn`t concentrate on anything the teachers were saying. My mind kept wondering back to Roza. I thought about her beautiful, long, dark hair that looked almost black. I thought about her sparkling brown eyes, and her delicate pink lips.

I was about to start another round of Roza daydreams when the bell wrenched me back into reality. It took me a second to realize, it was time for what I had been fantasizing about all day, lunch with Roza…

So, again, how was it? Review and let me know! Also, I have a question for you guys, I`m not exactly sure where this is leading but I feel like there should be some sort of conflict a little later and i have an idea or two but if you have any ideas I`d love to hear them and I`ll probably use one of them. So, let me know your ideas, and one more question, should Dimitri tell Rose about why he left or should it be a mystery to her for a little longer? Let me know! TTFN!
