Thank you all for the ideas and even for just reveiwing. And especially for being patient! Aha. 3

I don't own anything except Lissa's attitude...

Dimikazgirl- Aha. Adrian gay, that's priceless.

Okay, I'm going to do a little time skipping. To the supervised training.

Chapter 4:

After Dimitri and I departed last night at the cabin, nothing interesting happened. Alberta led me back to my dorm, the whole time lecturing me about rights and wrongs. I didn't get much sleep. I lay in bed, just replaying the cabin scene over and over. Eventually I did fall asleep...for an hour. My alarm bared loudy as I sat up groggily. I only had a couple minutes to get ready for training with Dimitri. A slight smile spread across my face. Atleast Kirova didn't take training away, even if it was suporvised. On my way to the gym, I checked Lissa's emotion. Yep, still mad.

Out of the few kids I saw on the way to the gym, all of them had been staring. A couple of girls whispered behind their hands, then those girls also turned to look. I pushed it to the back of my mind when I entered the gym and threw down my bag. "Morning, Guardian Petrov. Morning Dimitri," I greeted the two. Alberta raised her eyebrows from her seat on the bleachers at the hint of cheerfulness in my voice. She gave a nod in hello and relaxed ever so slightly. I went to where Dimitri stood in the center of the gym, a ghost of a smile on his face.

"Good morning, Rose. You know the drill, eighteen laps to warm up, then come back for hand to hand, and if there's time some staking practice," Dimitri said. From the tone of his voice, I could tell he was doing his best to stay in his mentor attitude. He waved me off to the running track outside. I glanced back when I went out the doors. Alberta had crossed to where Dimitri stood and said a few words I could make out. I ran the laps in record time and had come inside to see Dimitri and Alberta still chatting. I caught my name, but other then that, their voices were too low.

I cleared my throat and they turned towards me. "Congratulations, thirty seconds off of yesterdays time," Dimitri said as Alberta retreated to her seat. "One minute to catch your breath, then we spar," he said simply. I knew he was only treating me like this because Alberta was here, atleast I hope that was it. I don't know what would happen if he told me he regreted everything we did last night, if he told me it was all a mistake. Just like he had done with Victor's lust spell. But that was a lie. I just needed a minute to talk to him alone. Without anyone around. I stood in a fighting position when I had my chance to take a breather.

I dodged Dimtri's kick to the gut and returned one to his knee, which he skillfully dodged. We were testing each other. After blocking and attempted hits, I aimed low, hoping to trip him, and I did. I chuckled silently, but somehow I was on my back. Alberta gave an involentary laugh from the bleachers. I sat up and glanced around. Dimitri was already on his feet, holding his hand out to help me up. "Looks like I'm not the distracted one today, Comrade," I teased with a grin. Dimitri laughed, and my heart fluttered at the sound.

Before I left, Dimitri slipped me a small folded peice of paper. Once I got out of Alberta's sight I read the note.

Rose,

Meet me in your room afterschool.

Love, Dimitri

Awah, ain't Dimitri sweet? So it took me 3 hours and thirty minutes to write this. Ugh. I'm slow.

Songs I was listening to:

Your Guardian Angel- Red Jumpsuit Apparatus.
