AN: Omg! I am so sorry that I took so long to U.D forgive me O:)

I've been hearing Moroi's talking about us learning how to fight with magic. I thought it was a ridiculous idea. It would never work, plus that's what guardians are for. Not that I liked the thought of Mason going out there and risking his life for selfish royals.

I'm so glad the weekend is here. I'm drained from school and could really use the break to catch up on some sleep. My weeks been full on with juggling assignments, homework and me and Mason's time together and all while getting seething looks from stupid royals. I think people were catching on.

"Hey Mia wait up." I turn around and see Christian.

"Hey." I said. "Where you headed?"

"Nowhere in particular just going out for some fresh air." I just nodded. Me and Christian use to be close when I was a freshman, but after Andre I didn't hang out with him as much and I was glad we kind of fixed our friendship. "Where are you royal snobs I thought you'd be hanging out with them but you don't seem to be going anywhere near that group and more towards that ginger ninja guardian in training guy."

I whacked Christian in the arm playfully.

"For the last time." I said with a sigh. "His name is Mason." that's what everyone always describes him as the red head or something way to be original.

"Why do you care what I call him? I mean you have nicknames for everyone anyway?" He said with a knowing smirk on his face. I felt my face heat up.

"I don't care." I said putting my best old Mia voice on and shrugged. "He's just a friend."

Christian just stared at me for a while searching for any dishonesty. It kind a hurt that he didn't believe me, but then again I was actually lying. He shrugged as well and kept walking.

"Hey it's none of my business you don't have to explain yourself."

I let out a mental sigh of relief. I realised Christian might be one of those crazy royals who thought it was a good idea for moroi's to fight alongside with Guardian's using magic. I looked it at him from the corner of my eye. He looked straight ahead at the snow covered path. I guess I could understand why he wanted to fight, he saw his parents die. I felt bad for Christian everyone always judges him for what his parents had done. He saw me looking at him and I quickly looked away.

"What?" He asked me.

"Nothing." I said and look down at the icy path as well. Careful of my footing. I always slip and Mason always ends up saving me but there is no Mason here now just me and Christian.

"Then why were you looking at me. I know I'm handsome and all..." I whacked him in the arm again

"You are not." I could feel a smile playing on my lips. He looked mock offended.

"Your right handsome is an understatement...it's more like sexy beast." I started giggling uncontrollably. Man was Christian full of it but it was in a funny sort of way I knew he was just joking around. He wasn't bad looking either.

"Of course." I said finally catching my breath. "Man Christian you sure as hell do crack me up." He just shook his head. I hear a loud coughing behind us. Me and Christian both turn around and see Mason.

"Oh hey guys funny running into you what a small world." His voice sounded strained and his expression said something else he had a stormy face.

"Yeah." I said with a confused look on my face. Why did he look so upset?

"Oh...sorry guys but I uh have some uh... studying to do..." Christian said with a weird look on his face. I guess he was intimidated by Mason, if I wasn't going out with him I would be too. I suddenly didn't want Christian to leave I had a bad feeling about this.

"Okay bye." I said more to myself then to Christian. I watched longingly as his figured disappeared into the cold, dark night. Mason and I just stood there in silence for a while. Until he broke the silence.

"So what's up with you and Christian?" He said. He tried to make it sound like he didn't care like he was just asking trying to make small talk, but it came out sounding like a jealous boyfriend.

"Nothing." I said defensively.

"That's not what I heard." I can't believe it Mason didn't trust me. I knew this relationship was to good to be true. I should have never let myself fall for him so hard.

"Oh yeah well haven't you ever heard the saying you shouldn't believe everything you hear?" I said. My temper was starting to rise.

"I have but I saw it too, the way you two were flirting and you giggling at his jokes."

"I was being friendly because you know he is MY friend!." I just wanted this conversation to stop so I could go to my room, curl up in a ball and never come out again at least then my heart will be protected. "Where did you even get this idea from?"

Mason looked down at the ground and seemed a little sheepish now.

"Camille..." I don't know who I'm more pissed with Camille or Mason?

"And you believed her." God boys are stupid. If Mason can't trust me then I don't know how this relationship would even last.

"I'm...I'm sorry." I shook my head.

"No." I said. "I'm sorry, sorry I thought this would work out." I couldn't believe I'd be the one saying this. His eyes went wide.

"Mia don't I'm sorry-" I cut him off.

"No Mason if you can't trust me then how is this going to work." I needed to get out of here tears threatened my eyes. I couldn't hear what he had to say and ran as fast as I could to my room, if my gym teacher could see me right she'd be proud of how fast I was, but if Mason really wanted to he could have stopped me and caught up with me. So I knew it was officially over.

The tears fell freely once I was in my room but I forget that Camille would be in here too.

"What's wrong Mia?" She asked innocently. I wanted to grab that innocent head of hers and slam it into the door.

"You tell me since you and Mason have become so close." Her eyes went wide probably because she thought I wouldn't find out.

"Look he didn't deserve you I put him through a test for you a trust test and I'm guessing he failed." I knew Camille was lying but I had been deprived of a girlfriend for so long and it felt nice her comforting me I just wanted to believe she was telling the truth because it would make it a whole lot easier getting over Mason then if I thought of him as some kind of jerk. "Shh it's okay...we'll get Aaron back for you I know he's still crazy about you."

I didn't want Aaron he was boring and predictable. No offence to the he's cute and all, but now that me and Mason are done I have no friends that means I have to get back with the power players, which meant I had to get back together with Aaron.

"Okay." I sniffle. But deep down I knew that I was just pushing Mason away because of these feelings I had towards him and I was scared of getting hurt so I thought I would hurt him before he could hurt me.

Okay so I have no idea where I'm going with this any more so tell me if you want Mason and Mia to get back together or should I end it with the next chapter?
