Chapter 4

RPOV

I saw him and Tasha walking towards me. Seeing him made my chest ache. My amazing, brilliant, passionate, Russian god was leaving. Then my eyes went over to her. Tasha.I gave her a look of digust. I kind of felt bad. It wasn't really her fault. So then instead of acting like a heartbroken teenager I put on my Rose-Hathaway look. Then I did a Rose-Hathaway move. I turned around and walked away. Dimitri jogged up to me.

He grabbed my shoulder and tried to turn me around. I ignored him. "ROSE!" He shouted. I decided to face him.

"What?" I asked with venom in my voice.

He looked slightly, hurt and confused at my tone. But his gaurdian mask slammed into place a milli-second later. He wasn't my russian god anymore. He was just my hard-ass mentor now. And soon he wasn't even going to be that anymore.

"Why are you here?" He asked. I could tell I wasn't the only one that was pissing him off.

"Well when my dad got my mom-"

"Shut it." He cut me off. "You should be in class, and you know it." He replied sternly.

I snorted. "Whatever" I snarled and walked away. He grabbed my arm and pulled me back.

"What is wrong with you? This is completely reckless, stupid and selfish. Of course that's not a new thing for you. I'll drag you back to your class if I have to. I'm your mentor. Not your friend, and whatever you do, goes straight back to me. How does it look when you're skipping out on classes?" He asked. I bit my lower lip to restrain myself from saying something I would regret. When I didn't reply, he continued.

"So why are you here instead of in class?" He asked through gritted teeth. I knew he was over-reacting.

"So why are you here instead of at practise?" I replied evenly.

"I was busy. Now answer my question." His tone was dangerous.

"Well so am I." I replied coldly,

Tasha had walked up when Dimitri did. I hadn't really noticed her until now. She looked slightly uncomfortable, I didn't know if it was me, but I was pretty sure I could see some smugness in her face. I was done. They could ride off into the sunset together for all I care. I gave Tasha a look of hatred, and Dimitri one of longing, and then my classic pissed-off look.

"You know, since there won't be many more training sessions, you might want to put in some extra ones." I said, looking at Tasha. Dimitri frowned in confusion.

"What are you-" I cut him off by smirking at Tasha before walking away, with a toss of my hair.

"Sorry if I ruined the surprise Tasha!" I called over my shoulder with an evil smile.

...

I walked back to my room to see that lunch was in twenty minutes. I realized I hadn't eaten anything since I woke up. I didn't want to. I felt sick to my stomach now. I collapsed onto my bed. Why did I have to fall in love with my mentor? Why was my life so fucked up?

I sighed and looked at one of the few (three to be exact) photes on my wall. It was a picture of me and Lissa at one of the biggest parties I had ever been to and probably ever will. I lost track of how many guys I made out with, all I knew was that it was over twenty. Then I decided something. I was seventeen. I was young and hot. And I was far too young to fall in love. It was just a crush. A stupid, teenage crush.

I put on my most revealing clothes, which was a loose, black belly top, some studded, denim short shorts and black satin heels. I put on some dark make-up, a necklace and a bracelet. I looked H-O-T hot, if I do say so myself.

I checked my alarm. Lunch started five minutes ago. I walked out of my room and I was thankful I didn't run into any teachers or gaurdians on my way there. I knew it would land me in Kirova's office. I walked through to the cafeteria. It was like every single set of eyes in the cafeteria were on me. I couldn't help but smile, when I pictured Dimitri's face. NO. I couldn't think about Dimitri right now. I saw Eddie, Liss, Christian, Mia and Mason sitting together. I strolled over, hearing wolf whistles, and seeing guys winking at me. Most of the group turned around to see what all the fuss was about. I saw Lissa smirk and roll her eyes. Christian smirked as well but for different reasons. Mia shook her head slightly, but still smiled, Eddie laughed and joined the guys wolf whistling. Mason's whole face lit up with glee. I strolled over to the guys, but Lissa got up and came over to me.

"Hey" She said.

"Hey" I replied smiling.

"What happened this morning? I mean, why did you kinda, you know, freak out?" She asked. I knew she didn't mean to but she was really kinda annoying me. I was trying to forget Dimitri, and she was not helping.

"It dosen't matter Liss. I'm good now. So come on." I said walking over to the group.

"What. The. Hell. Is all I have to say." Said Christian. I slapped him on his arm playfully.

"Just listen. There's an old cabin out in the woods that's deserted. I was thinkning, we could go out, and have a little...gathering shall we say." I attempted to raise one eyebrow, which I half pulled off.

Christian looked towards Lissa, Eddie looked towards Mia, and a grinning Mason looked towards me.

"We're in." Said Christian and Mia at the same time.

"Ok, I guess..." Said Liss. She was worried about her homework assignment from Stan. Nerd.

"Definitely." Said Mason, still grinning from ear to ear.

"Sure." Eddie said simply.

"Great. Meet there at about 30 minutes after curfew."

They all shrugged and nodded.

"I'm gonna go, I'll catch you guys later." I said giving them a huge smile.

They said their good-byes and went back to eating. I was heading for the cafeteria door when I saw Dimitri entering through it.

"Shit." I muttered under my breath. I headed out the other door, hoping he hadn't seen me. He would lose it if he saw that I hadn't gone to class. I had no doubt he would find out about it anyway, but I needed time away from him. Plus, he would have been twice as bad if he saw me with this on. I made a B-line for my room. I waited for a few minutes to check if he had seen me. Nope. I re-applied my make-up and got ready for the par-..gathering. This was going to be one hell of a night.

...
