Rose's Pov

As I walked from class to class I wondered about Dimitri and how could he just leave without saying goodbye? I finally got to my last class before lunch which is Jake's class. When I entered the class I heard music coming from speakers, it's going...

"Baby I just wanna dance
I don't really care
I just wanna dance
I don't really care... care... care "

Automatically I knew it was the song "Who's that Chick?" Then as I turn I see Mason and Eddie who are arguing while Eddie's pointing frantically to the phone beside his ear. As I walked closer to them their words became clearer.

"You're always on the bloody phone!" yells Mason, annoyed out of his mind. "Can't you just turn it off? We're in the middle of class and we have to behave well if you want to make a positive reputation for Jake on his first day."

"Nerd much?" I asked which gets a laugh from Eddie.

"Hey everyone," Jake yells out as he turns down the music which is now the song Undisclosed Desires by Muse. "Okay I just want you guys to spar with each other and I'll just walk around and give you pointers. It'll probably be a pretty easy lesson so...yeah. But just a reminder to you all that this is only the first lesson so I just want to see where you're at and your level of combat. Also, if anyone wants to have private lesson with me you can just write your name on this piece of paper and I'll take it at the end of this class." He holds up a piece of white sparkly glittered paper with a few names already on there. Being at a close distance to Jake I can make out the names on the sheet and it's no surprise to me that most of them are girls. "I would like all those who put their name's down in today's lesson to take note that I will only be taking a selected few from the list as I can't give everyone private lessons without becoming a nerd."

I notice Eddie nudge Mason who's trying to pretend that he doesn't know who Eddie is. All act of this is erased when Eddie yells out "Wow! We've already got a volunteer for class nerd."

"We have to behave well if you want to make a positive reputation for Jake on his first day," I mimicked in a high pitched girly voice.

More laughter erupts from our class but Eddie quiets them down with a "WAIT!" He presses a button on his phone and there's Mason's voice played back saying the very phrase itself.

Mason glares at Eddie. "I thought you were talking to people!"

"Err...no," Eddie replies. "I don't actually have really any friends who have phones."

Mason doesn't stop glaring his icy eyes at Eddie. "I have a phone. I know it's not that high tech but still it's a phone. Wow, it turns out you actually have a friend with a phone after all." Mason pulls a smug smile.

"Friend?" I question and I gain the satisfaction of watching that smug smile crumble. "Don't you mean stalking nerd?"

Jake walks closer to us three. "Yay!" he exclaims in a voice of false brightness. "You've lost five minutes of class time but don't worry; you guys can make up for it with private lessons. More people to my list already! Actually you guys can choose detention or private lessons...your choice..."

"I'll take private lessons," I respond automatically as I planned to make private lessons anyway.

"Ugh...How long do we have to take these private lessons?" asks Eddie. His eyes flash towards his phone before flicking back up to Jake's.

"As long as it takes for you to come higher than average in your combat skills," Jake answers. "It's nothing so major when you really think about it."

"And the detention goes for how long?" Eddie questions again.

"Only for a week," replies Jake. "But it won't be just sitting there. I'm sure there's some blocked toilets that need cleaning out and the boys bathrooms are really a mess. I could pull some strings and get you to clean the girls bathroom too."

Eddie nods. "Okay, I take the detention."

Mason's forehead fills with creases. "I think I'll take the detention with Eddie to keep him company." I receive a sincere look from Mason apologising that he won't be in private training but I give him a nod that hopefully says it's okay. We wouldn't even be together in private training anyway, there's a reason it's called private or personal training.

Mason, Eddie and I walk to the lunch table while we're discussing how awesome Jake's class. Eddie and Mason even regret choosing detention over personal training. He was way better than Stan's class and pretty much is the talk for all of us who were in the class. There is also a lot of disturbing talk about how so many girls have fan girl crushes on Jake but I remind myself that it's only to be expected. Dimitri got this from some people but Jake's range of fan girls seems to be larger...must be the age difference or something.

The three of us get trays and make our way to the lines to get food. I can't resist the delicious chocolate glazed doughnuts and because I can't just have that for lunch I grab a warm chicken salad with avocado and garlic dressing. I also don't feel like I'm being some sort of greedy pig by adding the salad to my lunch.

I take a seat with Lissa, Adrian and Mason & Eddie because they've gotten their food before me. I sit next to Lissa and Adrian and begin to pick at my salad. "Where's Christian?" I asked through a mouthful of salad.

Lissa looked around the cafeteria again. "I don't know Rose; I haven't seen him since third period."

"It's better without him anyway," Mason said.

I finish my salad to find that my doughnuts mysteriously gone missing. I look around in accusation when my eyes rest on Adrian whose taking a large bite out of my chocolate glazed doughnut.

I clear my throat to catch Adrian's attention.

Adrian catches my eye and reluctantly gives the doughnut back to me. "Fine, fine but we both agree that I haven't broken that deal yet. I just promised to stop being annoying not steal peoples doughnuts, I didn't even steal your doughnut because I just took a tiny bite out of it. There's nothing wrong with that, I'm an innocent angel."

The music of Queen begins to be heard around the table.

"I'm just a poor boy nobody loves me
He's just a poor boy from a poor family
Spare him his life from this monstrosity

Easy come, easy go, will you let me go?
Bismillah! No-"

Eddie answers his phone while the rest of us are laughing and sharing amused looks. Eddie sends us such a death glare that we all became silent and now we concentrate on Eddie's phone call.

"Yeah it's Eddie…what's wrong with you sales man. Your just stupid Russia dudes who try and sell me worthless stuff that's not even worth a crap…No! I don't want to buy roses. I can just go outside and pick them myself…Learn to speak English too you freak with a stupid accent…for god's sake just go home and leave me alone! I DON'T CARE!" He hangs up and is confused as the entire cafeteria has turned their complete attention to him. He receives faces that make him want to run out of the room and hide.

"Racist much?" Adrian asks.

"Ugh…I need to charge my phone." He begins to walk out of the room but bumps into Jake that's coming our way. "Sorry Jake, I mean Guardian McDonnell." He proceeds to walk out of the room and Jake approaches me.

Jake passes me a slip of paper. "Here's your schedule, some of these personal training sessions are at 6 in the morning so hopefully you'll be able to get up. Considering the choice that I gave with detention and this, I'm sure you understand that you can't complain or whine like a mutt." He gives me a flawless smile before turning to Mason. "You and you're great bud Eddie have detention tonight after eighth period so meet me in the gym where you can clean up lockers and bathrooms. Whoever's there first can clean up the girl's toilets by the way." He walks away briskly as if something is troubling his mind.
