Sorry for the late update, I've been extremely busy with school.

RPOV

"Sorry, Andre, I didn't see you there" I apologized when I bumped into Lissa's gorgeous older brother.

"Its fine, why aren't you in class?" he asked.

"Well Miss Bitch asked me a question in French but I didn't know the answer so Lissa sent me the phrase through our bond. So I gave her the right answer and she accused me of cheating – because for once the answer was correct – and sent me to Kirova's!" I complained.

"Well wasn't that technically cheating?" he asked, clearly amused. I shot him a glare.

"That's not the point," I said ignorantly.

"Then what is?" he said.

"She hates me. She loves picking on me. And she doesn't even know about the bond," I said.

"Well that sucks, I could tutor you - if you want," he offered. Oh my god! This is great, I've had a major crush on him since I was like ten, this is so amazing!

"Yeah that would be great … I'm sure you could teach me … a lot of things," I stumbled on my words while trying to be as cool as possible. He smirked.

"Well how about we meet in your common room, tonight, around eight," he said.

"Sure" I replied brightly.

"See ya then" he said and walked off. Then the bell rang and students came rushing out of their classes towards the cafeteria. Just then I spotted Lissa and called out to her.

"Hey, how many did Kirova give you this time?" she asked. I didn't need to her to elaborate to know that she was talking about detentions. Yeah I was known for my bad reputation with the headmistress.

"Oh I don't have detention," she gasped. "But if I get sent back to her office today then I get two detentions. Oh and by the way Andre's tutoring me in French."

"Oh."

Then I noticed the dark stooping shadow that had been following me around all day. It was my new guardian of course.

"Oh and Lissa this is Guardian Belikov," I said introducing him. Belikov bowed his head respectfully.

"Princess," he said.

"Please, call me Lissa," she prompted politely.

"I prefer to keep professional with my charges," he said gruffly.

"Oh," she said then a thick silence enveloped our table. She gave me a sly, knowing look, then leaned in and whispered, "He looks hot."

"I know," I whispered back. I turned to look at him. Belikov wore an amused expression, one of his brows arched over the brown eye. Oh god, did he hear us? Lissa and I both blushed involuntarily. Then to my pleasure, the bell rang, or not, as my next class was elemental class. I was sure to have detention today, I thought, as I walked through the doors.

I'm sorry to say this but I'm holding the story hostage five reviews or no update.
