The next day, I decided to pay a visit to Alberta's office. Maybe they would see me pushing myself into this as more of a 'normal' thing than refusing extra sessions because I don't need them.
"So, Rose, you have changed your mind about the extra sessions?"
"Yes," I said, lying through my teeth. "I decided that if I can better my techniques, then I would have a better chance in protecting Lissa. Besides, I have been a bit bored with my guardian classes lately. It will be interesting to see what Alex can show me."
"We have titles for a reason Miss Hathaway." She didn't sound very upset about my calling Alex by his first name, though. She was just thrilled that I wanted to continue my training. She did, however, pick up on me dissing the school's lack of challenging guardian classes, because she said, "Guardian Whylde is one of the best Guardians that this school has ever seen. He is experienced in training one-on-one and he has extensive field experience. There could be no better candidate to fill this position."
Did she even know how much I wanted to punch her in the face right now? Yeah, no, probably not.
"Well, that will all become apparent in good time, Guardian Petrov. Thank you for seeing me on such short notice today. When do I start practice?" That was the best I could do without igniting a nuclear explosion.
"You will start tomorrow morning an hour and a half before school. You will have two practices; one will be in the morning and the other is in the evening after school, just like your previous training sessions."
I stood and faced her. "Nobody has the ability to replicate those sessions . There is absolutely nothing that could even come close to comparing with them. These sessions with Guardian Whylde are a new chapter for me, not a continuation of one. Do not make the mistake of thinking that I will pick up where I left off."
She was speechless. Finally.
I turned and left, wondering yet again if there would be repercussions for behaving the way I did in Alberta's office. I probably shouldn't have said some of those things, but I couldn't let her talk about Dimitri that way. If his training sessions were as bad as she suggested they were, I would have been dead by now. Maybe I was just overreacting.
Pushing those thoughts aside for now, I checked my watch and saw that –if I ran- I could make it to first period.
A/N I know this is kind of short, but I needed to write out this little snippet between Alberta and Rose. I really enjoyed writing this! thank you guys for reading and please review:):)!
