A/N: Ok, so I'm done with short chapters. This chapter should be super interesting! :-) The meeting (finally). Sorry it took so long. I just had to build up the suspense between Rose and Dimitri. So was anyone else surprised that Dimitri isn't dating Tasha anymore? I know I was! Just so you know, I'm totally and completely in love with Dimitri so this story will definately be Rose/Dimitri!

Rose-

I walked through the halls of the school building to Lisa's office. Since Kirava resigned, Lisa became the headmistress. It was a very welcome change. Lisa is a lot easier to deal with. I tried to distract myself with figuring out what I need to do for Anya when I get home. I would have to do laundry, wash dishes, get her ready for the day, and take her to the video store to get another one of her freaking western movies. I hate Westerns.

This distracting thing wasn't working well. I kept thinking about him. This wasn't going to do for the meeting. If it wasn't important Lisa wouldn't have called the meeting. I need to pay attention during it.

I walked around the last corner and went up to her door. I took a deep breath before pushing it open and walking in. Inside was the usual. A desk, three chairs, bookshelves, a tv. The only difference was who was occupying the chairs. Lisa (of course) was in one. Tasha and Dimitri were in the other two. Tasha faded from existance as soon as I saw Dimitri. He looked exactly the same. He stood up to his full height and I was reminded of how tall he really was. His long brown hair was pulled up into a low ponytail at the nape of his neck. His eyes were deep pools of chocolate holding every memory we had ever shared together. He still looked as god-like as ever. He was gorgeous.

Ah-hem. Someone cleared their throat. Dimitri, I realized. Oh god. I had been staring at him. Good job Rose. Way to not care! He gestured for me to sit in the chair he had just gotten out of. I sat down quickly and waited for Lisa to explain why I was in this situation.

" Hi Rose." She said ackwardly.

" Hey Lis."

" Alright. Let's get to buisness. Tasha, you are going to be teaching some Mori classes on using you element, correct?"

" That's correct." Tasha responded.

" And Rose is our advanced combat teacher. So Dimitri, you are assigned to help in that class?"

" Yes." He said uncomfortably.

" Wait, what? When was that decided?" I exclaim.

" The queen decided this three days ago." Lisa says.

" Of course she did. That doesn't surprise me even a little bit."

" Rose, think about what you say before you say it."

" You said this was important what exactly was it about?"

" Ah. The point of the whole meeting. There is going to be a party tonight. I need you all to come." Lisa responds.

" What?" All three of us ask at the same time.

" It's not quite a party as much as a ball. I need to bring three representatives from St. Vladamir's. All royal Mori are attending. You may bring whoever you wish."

This was directed at me. She meant that Adrian would also be going. Which meant I had no one to watch Anya. Everyone that I trust is going. She was going to have to come with me.

" Shit!" I say.

" Rose! Stop overreacting. Be at the gate at 3:00am. Dress in a gown, please."

" I have other stuff to do right now. I don't need to deal with this right now. I'll see you later Lis."

I hurry out of the office trying to get away. I knew I would end up going to the stupid ball- Adrian would make sure of that- but I didn't have to like it. Little did I know that Dimitri had followed me out.

" Rose! Wait up!" He calls as he catches up to me.

" What do you want Belikov?"

" I want to know- well- I wan't to know where we stand."

" What do you mean?"

" Are we friends or not friends or more than friends?"

" We aren't anything. The way this is going to go is, I'm going to ignore you until we go to class, then I'm going to talk to you as little as possible. Understood?"

" That's not fair. Can't you just let me explain, Rose?"

" Why don't you go and explain to your girlfriend Tasha. I'm sure she would love to hear about that."

" Girlfriend? Tasha isn't my girlfriend!"

" Oh, so are you two married now? Expecting a child? She can have your demon spawn!"

" Roza."

" No! You can't call me that. You may call me Guardian Hathaway or Rose but you are never allowed to call me Roza again!"

" Just let me explain." He was quiet, almost in defeat.

" No. When you left me for that bitch you gave up any rights you had to 'explaining'."

" Tasha is not a bitch! You are the bitch."

Before I can stop it, my left hand forms a fist and knocks into the side of Dimitri's head. A thin trickle of blood comes out of the side of his lip and a huge red mark appears all over the left side of his face.

" Dimitri, you can call me what you want but YOU were the one who broke MY heart. Now, I've found someone who can almost fix all the damage you did. I'm engaged to Adrian. We are in love. I've moved on. It's time for you to do the same."

A/N: I promise, it will work out to Rose/Dimitri eventually you just have to wait! It will all turn out AMAZING! So review and tell me what ya thnk of this chapter! ;-)
