I felt a bit creative tonight so here's another chapter (although it is only short).
Thank you everyone for the reviews, follows and favourites. I'm actually surprised I managed to write something today at all as i had a really bad migraine yesterday before and while I was work that I'm still trying to get over but here I am haha
I received a couple of reviews regarding who would tutor Rose well I tried not to give it away too much haha but this chapter is all about the meeting with the Dean and who is the tutor :) It's only a short chapter so that's all I wrote about but the next should have the rest of that 'day' and maybe a bit more.

I woke to a knock on my bedroom door. "Rose, wake up Christian made breakfast."
I was ready to throw a pillow at the door but the sound of breakfast was the only thing that made me get out of bed. I walked out my room to see Lissa just finishing up setting the table and Christian serving the food onto plates.
"Thanks, Chris. And thanks Lissa for the wake-up call I forgot to set my alarm." Lissa gave me a smile before sitting down, "Well Rose don't get used to breakfast every morning I have a place to live too." We were soon laughing together.
An hour later I was packing my bag and out the door. I felt nervous about meeting the Dean, I was in my own little world that I didn't see Dimitri downstairs at his mailbox I just kept walking until I bumped into him. "Oh.. umm..I'm sorry." He glanced down at me, "It's okay."
He kept staring at me intently before I got my brain working and quickly walked out the building hearing him call my name behind me. I wish I could have stopped but I wanted to get this meeting over with besides I've been wanting to talk to him for weeks and he's given me the cold shoulder so I'm sure he can wait a little longer.
I arrived on campus around 8:30 am and went straight to the administration building. I walked up to the reception desk, "Hi how can I help you?" "Hi, umm I'm looking for the Dean's office." "Sure thing, if you follow the corridor to your left to the end and take the lift to level 3 it's the fourth door on your right." "Thank you very much." I gave her small smile which she returned.
I followed her instructions and stood outside the office door. I took a couple of breaths before knocking and heard a faint "come in". I slowly walked inside and shut the door behind me.
"Umm Hi, I'm Rose Hathaway, you asked to see me today." "uh yes, Miss Hathaway. Please take a seat. As I said in my email I'm wanting to talk to you about your grades so far, now I know it's only the start but I like to see how all new students are going and help them if necessary."
I nodded along and smiled, he gave me a smile before growing extremely serious. He pulled out a file and opened it, "now, Rose, I've read your file and I understand you had some issues previously though I won't go into them because it's really not any of my business to know details but I understand that may have caused some stress for you especially having to move away. But please if there is anything more going on currently please feel free to organize to talk to one of our on-campus counselors."
I looked at the floor but nodded anyway. I wished I could talk to a counselor but I was scared Jesse would somehow find out I was opening up to someone who could cause a lot of trouble for him and that he would do so much worse to me.
"Now onto the reason, I asked you here. As you are struggling a lot, I've decided that along with a tutor I would you to start having weekly meetings with a success advisor and depending on how you go you can reduce how many times you see them. The success advisor isn't just there to ask about your classes and assessment items they are also there for any advice you may need and also guide you towards career advice, etc."
He handed me a file with my name on it. "In this file, I've given you an outline of how your meetings will run as well as more detailed information on what the success advisor can offer you. You'll also find details about the tutoring program which I have enrolled you into, as well as who your tutor is and their class schedule. Please read through as much as you can when you get a chance. But for now, I'll let you go so you can get to class."
"Thank you, Dean." He extended his hand and quickly took it before leaving. I was walking out the admin building when I saw Dimitri at the reception desk. I was going to go up to him and ask what he wanted this morning but he looked busy and I wanted to get to my first classroom so I had time to look through my file.
There were only a couple of other people in the room when I arrived so I grabbed the seat I liked. I opened the file and it was packed with information. The sound of the success advisor was actually good and I couldn't wait to meet them, I also saw the meetings were already organized which was good and it worked out well because I didn't have work the day I'm meant to meet them and her name was Leigh.
I flipped through quickly scanning the information on the tutoring program which was going to read later until I got to the person's name in fine print.
Dimitri Belikov.
DPOV
I got called into a meeting with the head of the tutoring program before I went to class. I had decided to join the program just before the semester started as I did it in high school.
I knocked on the door once I had arrived at the room. I heard "come in" from the other side. I quickly walked in and took a seat.
"Morning Dimitri, sorry I asked you hear so early but it was important. I've got a student for you to tutor as per the Dean's request." She handed me a file. "Inside this file are details about the student, their schedule, courses, etc. please read through this as soon as possible and speak with them soon. The Dean is eager for this student's tutoring to start as quickly as possible."
"Thank you." I quickly left and went to class. Students were piling into the room as the class was about to start soon and I was able to find a somewhat good seat. I opened the file which explained this student was in their first year and already struggling. I flipped through to find the name.
Rosemary Hathaway.
So what do you think? Do you think Dimitri being Rose's tutor will help them get close again and Rose to open up to him?
