Rose POV
I can't wait anymore, Alberta just has to start already.
I mean, how long can it take to get a list with names into your own hands? Not long, thank you very much.
Mason sits next to me, holding my hand and laughing at my impatience, but Adrian who sits next to Christian seems to be as bored as I am. I don't even know why he's here. I guess he doesn't want to be alone all day.
Alberta FINALLY steps onto the podium and starts talking.
"Hello everyone. Today is the day where you, young novices get assigned to your Moroi for field experience. I will begin at any second. But first let me tell you, there is no changing. You have to protect him or her full six weeks unless you want to fail. Did you all listen?"
I look around and see everyone nodding, just as I do. Alberta is terrifying at times if she talks so serious and looks at us with that scary spark in her eyes.
"Good, let's begin then. Mason Ashford ... you are assigned to Christian Ozera."
I smile at him and know it's a good thing for two reasons. One, Mase knows Christian and isn't afraid that he is going to turn Strigoi at any time like some students still expect him to. Two, he and Lissa will be together the whole time, so I am going to see Mason a lot.
I have to calm down or I'll be doing my happy dance in front of everyone. I just want to point out that it would be embarrassing as fuck, considering my bad-ass reputation and stuff.
Doing it in my room where nobody sees? Cool. But in front of the whole school? Hell, no.
That's one way to destroy your reputation.
Mase grins at me like he's saying "No you don't have to be afraid to get assigned to him any longer",releases my hand and walks up to Alberta to get the little packet with information about his Moroi. For the record, I am not afraid of Christian or something, I just don't want to have to guard him for full six weeks and to sleep in his dorm where he can annoy me to death. That's why.
When Mason comes back he sits down next to me, kisses me on the cheek, and gives Eddie - who sits on my other side - a high-five. Then he takes my hand in his again.
Alberta announces two other novices and their Moroi and it's really, really difficult not to laugh. Poor Emily and Jane, they are assigned to Jesse and Ralph and they know they are screwed. Everyone knows Jesse and Ralph are just some idiots who love to spread rumors.
Alberta continues.
"Eddison Castile, you are assigned to Vasilisa Dragomir."
That's so cool. Wait... what?! That's is not cool, not at all. To whom am I going to be assigned, if not to Lissa?
I look over to Eddie who looks really sorry. I smile and nod at him because I am not a child anymore, I am in control of myself. I can do this.
I lay my hand on his arm for a second, to let him know that it really is okay. When he understands that I mean it, he gets up and walks to the front to get his packet as well.
I take a look at Mason who looks worried but recovers quickly.
He smiles at me and says "Don't worry Rose. It's not that bad and think about it. At least you can't get Jesse or Ralph anymore."
I have to laugh at this thought. He is right, whoever I get, it could be much worse. I'll just have to wait it out.
"Noah Galen, you are assigned to Mia Rinaldi."
Noah sits two rows in front of us. He's cute, he has dirty blonde hair and brown eyes. He asked me out on a date before Lissa and I ran away from the academy. Normally I'd say he's totally Mia's type, but everyone knows Mia and Eddie just have eyes for each other, even if they don't want to admit it yet.
I am next. Who is it gonna be?
I wait for Alberta to tells us who my Moroi is. All of a sudden I am nervous again.
"Rose Hathaway, you are assigned to ... Adrian Ivashkov."
My eyes go wide as I look over to Mason and then to Adrian, who looks very much contended, but not surprised. Did he know this? If so, I'm so going to kill him...
But for now, I have to get up and walk to the front just like everyone else did before me. I am surprised how I stay so calm and receive my packet.
Information about Adrian, yay. That's all I've ever wished for, not.
Why is it suddenly so silent in the whole room? Oh boy...
I walk back to my seat and sit down. All my friends, including Adrian, are looking at me. It's like they expect me to freak out or burst into tears. Yeah right. That's not what Rose Hathaway does.
I just suck it up and live with it.
Like Alberta said, no changing and I sure as hell won't quit.
"Are you alright?" asks Mason.
"Yeah, why wouldn't I be?" I ask back. I know Mason can see through my act but the others don't seem to realize I'm lying, besides Adrian who grins at my answer.
"I don't know, it's just...you know. It's Adrian."
"I take that as a compliment," Adrian says and grins.
I give him a glare and kiss Mason on the lips. The kiss is sweet and gentle and I show him how much I love him. We have to stop though because we are quite aware we are in a room full of students and teachers. We'll continue later, I think and smile wide.
"Could you please do that in your room? We don't want to see you two making out all the time," Christian says annoyed.
"Yeah right, firefly. Do I have to remind you that I saw you and Lissa doing a lot more than just making out?" I answer with an eval grin, wiggling my eyebrows at him. All my friends laugh and Christian glares at me.
After that we stop our little talk and continue to listen to Alberta. Mason puts his arm around me and I lay my head on his shoulder, still thinking.
I keep in mind that I am going to talk to Adrian, I have a feeling he has something to do with that.
And if so, I'm going to be very angry at him and can't guarantee that he won't disappear ... forever.
Mason POV
I am assigned to Chris for field experience, that is awesome. At least not some spoiled Moroi who is thinking Dhampirs are just there to die for them. Tasha raised him the right way and I love her idea of Dhampirs and Moroi fighting sight by sight. Elemental magic can be a lot of help during fighting a Strigoi.
And the whole Christian-is-going-to-turn-Strigoi-sooner-or-later-thing is just nonsense. He hates Strigoi and helped us fight them in Spokane. Everyone who still thinks he's going to turn willingly is an idiot.
The way Rose smiles at me tells me she is thinking the exact same thing. I receive my packet and get back to my place. I kiss my Rose on the cheek and high-five Eddie. My Rose, I love the sound of it and I just can't get enough.
I put her hand in mine again and listen carefully to what Alberta says.
Oh well, I feel very sorry for Emily and Jane, Jesse and Ralph are such assholes. I really don' like them, never have and never will. Also because both spread rumours about my Rosie here a while ago and I still haven't forgiven them. But just like Rose I don't waste my time on them unless I really have to.
"Eddison Castile, you are assigned to Vasilisa Dragomir."
What the hell? That's sure as hell something I did not see coming. I thought Rose would get Lissa because of their bond and stuff. Eddie looks terrified, I think he expects her to beat the crap out of him. I have the same feeling that he does, but our expectations turn out to be wrong.
She touches his arm for a second to assure him it's okay, he believes her. Then he walks to the front and receives his packet with information about Lissa. Don't ask me why but they always do this.
Next is Noah and he got Mia. Which means he's going to hang out with us. I hope for him he's not into Rose anymore and if he is, that he won't show it. He knows I can hurt him, even if I won't do it. He is a good friend and very loyal, he wouldn't start something.
After he gets his packet Alberta continues to read out the names and I know who is next. She is nervous.
"Rose Hathaway, you are assigned to ... Adrian Ivashkov."
I see her eyes go wide and she looks and me. Then she glances over to Adrian who looks very content at the moment. A second ago he was bored and now he is grinning like some cheshire cat or something. Rose seems angry, but why? Did Adrian know about this? If that is, then she's going to kill him. That's for sure.
What surprises me is that Rose just stands up and walks to the front to get her packet, totally calm. Ok, something is wrong, folks. It's official.
Everyone here is staring at her as she walks to the front and back. They are just as shocked as we are, well except Adrian of course. He seems to be quite happy about this. I didn't even know he would participate. Why didn't he tell us? Guess he wanted it to be a surprise, but why Rose?
She comes back and sits down in her chair. We are all looking at her, waiting for her to freak out or to burst into tears or something.
"Are you alright?" I ask her.
"Yeah, why wouldn't I be?" she asks back. She's lying, it's so obvious. Am I the only one who notices?
No. Adrian smiles when she answers, he's probably reading her aura. Cheater. Can't someone wipe that smile off of his face? I would do it if Rose wouldn't have been assigned to him just seconds ago. She'd beat me up if I did.
"I don't know, it's just...you know. It's Adrian."
"I take that as a compliment," Adrian says and grins, again. Idiot.
Rose glares at him and kisses me. That takes me into paradise once again, I just love kissing her. The kiss is soft and shows me how much she loves me really. I love her too, I love her since I first met her. Ok not exactly because I was too young but you all know what I mean. Soon we break apart though because of all the people in the room.
"Could you please do that in your room? We don't want to see you two making out all the time," Christian says annoyed. I have to grin because he only does this to piss off Rose. They just love to annoy the hell out of each other, they are good at getting on each other's nerves, I have to admit that.
"Yeah right, firefly. Do I have to remind you that I saw you and Lissa doing a lot more than just making out?" she answers with an evil grin and wiggles her eyebrows. I suddenly remember how she always complains about her inability to lift a single brow, guess she has to live with it. We all laugh and Christian gives Rose a glare.
After we are done laughing, we continue to listen to Alberta. Only a few novices left, so it won't take long anymore.
I can see Rose is still thinking. She probably wants to have a talk with Adrian, which could either mean talking to him or knocking him out. We'll see how it goes. Until then I put my arm around her and she lays her head on my shoulder.
I remember my thoughts about Noah. No, Noah is not the one I'm worrying about, Adrian is the one that worries me. I know she loves me but he's after her since she first met him on that porch in Idaho...
To be continued...
