Chapter 6
Mason's POV
Eddie wanted to know where Rose was from. She was about to answer him when the guardian who oversaw the training came over and scolded me for neglecting my duties. Still grinning at Rose, I barked out orders to everyone, explaining what exercises to start with.
"Come on, Rose," I said, taking her arm. "You can be my partner. Let's see what you've been doing at your academy all this time."
An hour later, I had my answer.
"Ow," I groaned, momentarily incapable of normal speech.
She extended a hand and helped me up from the mat she'd knocked me down on-about fifty times.
"I hate you," I told her, rubbing a spot on my thigh that was going to have a wicked bruise tomorrow. I tried to look serious but as I said I tried.
"You'd hate me more if I held back."
"Yeah, that's true," I agreed, smiling at her. I was staggering along as the class put the equipment back.
"You actually did okay."
"What? I just had my ass handed to me."
"Well, of course and I'm not surprised cause we are trained differently at the academy I'm from. But hey, you're still walking. That's something," she said mockingly.
"Did I mention I hate you?"
She flashed me a smile and went on to next period. Oh well, I guess I just got a hot new kick ass friend.
