Heh. Sorry this took me soooo long but I've had I really weird month but here we go. Enjoy!
I stepped into the headmistress' office. A few guardians lined the walls; I saw Stan against the back wall. If looks could kill. Standing in front of the headmistress' desk was a girl, maybe a year older then me. She had straight, light brown hair tied up in a high ponytail. Her classic Moroi pale skin showed off her green eyes; I could tell she was royal even though she only had on a t-shirt and jeans. She gave me a dazzling white smile and I had to remember to breath. She was beautiful.
So you go and fall for a teacher and now you're in love with this tramp? I don't know why I put up with you. Maybe I should just leave, and let you fuck up you own life.
I wish you would, I thought.
"Mister Belikov," Headmistress said, "This is Ana Ivashkov. She will be finishing out her high school education with us. I would like you to show her around. Show her the ropes, if you will."
Ana held out her hand, "Nice to meet you…" She waited for me to fill in the blank with my name.
I took her hand, "Dimitri. And the pleasure is mine Lady Ivashkov."
Ana giggled a little, "Well I'm not a Lady yet, but please call me Ana."
Then I shifted my attention to the headmistress. "You want me to show her around? The dhampire who has none of her classes, and took the last Dragomir princess out of the Academy and out into the world for two years." And the dhampire who's in love with his teacher and the guy standing directly behind me with a large sharp stick wants me dead, and I play poker at midnight with my friends and… Yeah, not the best role model for a new student.
"Why yes Dimitri. I think it will be good for Ana to join, oh how do you say, um… Crowd." She said. I raised an eyebrow (a talent I have acquired over the years) in reaction to her comment. 'Crowd'? Really? Christian and Lissa were both royal but Mia wasn't and Eddie and Mason, no doubt, would trying to get her in bed by breakfast tomorrow. Yep, my friends would be the best 'crowd' for Ana, but I didn't say so. "Okay," I waved Ana towards the door. "Come on, the crowd is probably studying in the common." Just to be sure I texted Mia and asked where they all were. Low and behold they were studying in the common. I started telling Ana about myself and we exchanged information about your lives. Turns out her great aunt was the Queen! I mean like the Queen of all Moroi, yeah that goes a long way in the vampiric world. We took the long way to the common, as I showed Ana the building. I lead her around a corner but just before she came in to view next to me a voice calling my name stopped me in my tracks.
"Rose? Err, Guardian Hathaway." I said and Rose jogged up to me.
"Hmm," I think she almost pouted, "You never call me tha…" She said but I cut her off with a sharp look and a gesture with my shoulder saying that we weren't alone out here. "Oh" she said quietly and bit her bottom lip.
I pulled Ana up next to me, "Ana this is Guardian Hathaway. Guardian Hathaway this is Ana Ivashkov."
"Pleasure to meet you Guardian Hathaway." Ana smiled.
"And you Lady Ivashkov." Ana blushed a little.
"I'm no Lady yet." Wow this was going scarily like our conversation in the office.
Rose focused on me now. "Dimitri I need to talk to you about your…uh, training."
"Okay, Ana why don't you go to the common and introduce yourself. I'll be there in a minute." I said and pointed her in the direction and the dorm building commons. She nodded and strolled away. To get out of earshot quicker Rose and I walked the other way.
"Okay, I've been freaking out all day. What's with Stan?" I asked when we were a safe distance away.
Rose seemed to ignore my question and she looked off in a random direction. "She seems nice."
I stopped and put my hands on her shoulders, turning her towards me I sighed and looked directly in her eye. "Don't go there. She's not my type."
"What is your type?"
"You." I said quickly then added like I hadn't just said what I thought to be the most romantic thing in the world (which it probably wasn't, but I was seventeen.) "Now, what about Stan? Do we need to kill him and dispose of the body off the edge of a cliff or something?"
Rose chuckled, "No, he shouldn't be spoke to anyone for a while. I sort of broke his jaw."
My eyes widened, "You did WHAT!" I was shocked.
Rose laughed a little more as she shushed me, "Look it doesn't matter. Just go and I'll see you in the morning for training."
"Okay, see you tomorrow." I kissed her shortly then ran off after Ana.
"Hey Dimitri," Mia called to me as I walked into the common. Christian had his arm around Lissa as she stared Ana down like she could kill her with just her eyes. Mason and Eddie were sitting on either side of Ana, or more like sitting on her lap. I'm surprised Ana could even breath.
"Hey" I walked in and took a seat next to Mia. I tried to listen to the conversation but it was really just a Q and A with Ana. I just tuned out until Eddie started answering me a question.
"Dimitri… Dimitri! Hello?" Eddie called.
"Huh?" I shook my head.
"Man, where were you? I swear, if you were anymore out of it, there would have been a dream cloud floated above your head." Eddie laughed.
"Sorry, I haven't slept well in the last couple days." I paused, "Actually, I think I might go to bed, I'll see you guys tomorrow." I stood by Mia's hand caught the end of my shirt.
"But you haven't even eaten." She said, her eyes begging me to stay.
"I'm not hungry." I looked up at Ana, "I'll see you tomorrow, Ana."
Mia pouted but let me go. I walked out but caught Ana asked a question, "Do you guys know anything about Guardian Hathaway?"
I tensed, why would she be asking about Rose? I pondered the question while I walked to my room. I walked silently across the dark campus. There was nothing but the slight swoosh of my brown leather duster. The blissful quiet was broken when my phone rang with a text message. I flipped open the screen and opened the message. Lissa's text came up.
Hey, realize this is random. But I thought I would remind you of your birthday in like four days. I saw how tired you were and figured you forgot. Most people who are about to turn 18 are a hell of a lot happier.
-Lissa
Huh, how the hell do you forget your own birthday? Well, there you go. The silent resumed and I continued walking. In the stillness I felt like there was someone else out here. I spun around,
"Hello?" I expected Mason or Eddie to jump out at me. But nothing happen, through I couldn't shake the feeling there was someone else. I headed away from my dorm and stayed close the building. A large alcove came up and I silent peeked around the corner. I froze. My shoulders tense and I begged my legs to take me back to my dorm, but they wouldn't move.
Rose was kissing Stan… I took off running towards my dorm.
Stupid! Stupid, stupid boy! Stupid! Stupid! Stupid fucking heart! I kept running until I was face down in my bed. I couldn't cry-I'm a guy, we don't cry. I couldn't sleep. I could barely breath.
Maybe this is good. Maybe this is better. We could have never been together. Maybe this was good… Nope, it still sucks for me. Then I thought, or began to think because suddenly I was unbelievably tried. I closed my eyes and drifted off almost instantly. For some reason and image of Mia floating around in my head.
*Sobbing into her hands*
I am SO sorry! I can't believe I did that! That's one of the reasons I took so long, I had to convince myself to write each letter. I'm sorry!
So, did you like it?
Do you like Ana? The girl version of Adrian.
What do you think I'm going to do with this image of Mia is Dimitri's head?
Do you forgive me?
Do you think there was a reason Rose was kissing Stan?
Do you think Rose was kissing Stan by chose?
Review Plzz!
