ANOTHER CHAPTER DONE. KEEP REVIEWING PLEASE

So the weeks have past, and we finally leave for St. Paul's tomorrow morning. My routine has consisted of sleep, practice, and school. Dimitri was right I haven't even had time to hang out with my friends.

I've been practicing harder than I ever have before. My muscles ached on an everyday basis. It has all paid off though because I've been able to take Dimitri down in sparring more than a few times.

Dimitri and I agreed decided to take it slow, so I can focus more on training. Sure we have stolen kisses here and there but, nothing more.

Flashback

The day after Dimitri and I made out on the track, he decided to walk me back to my dorm after practice.

" Roza, I think we need to slow down so you can focus on your trials" Dimitri said as we got to my dorm doors. Everybody was still asleep so it was still safe for us to talk like this.

" Absolutely, comrade" He was right, I haven't been able to focus during practices.

" That's it? No argument?" Dimitri asked raising an eyebrow.

" You're right comrade, I do need to focus if I want to be ready for my trials. Especially because I want to prove to everyone that I am going to make a kickass guardian for Liza" I said with my man eater smile.

Dimitri chuckled. " And that you will be my Roza" He said wrapping his arms around me.

End of flashback

I was sitting in my room feeling nervous about tomorrow. I knew that I was good enough to take Dimitri down, ( a few times) but was it enough?

I decided to go look for Dimitri, he always made me feel better. It wasn't time for curfew so I knew exactly where he would be. The same place he goes every night for peace.

I walked in the doors to the church and sure enough there he was sitting on the bench in the back row. I sat down next to him. We sat in silence for a few minutes.

" Is everything okay Roza?" He asked turning to look at me.

" I'm just a little nervous about tomorrow" I said whispering.

He wrapped his arm around my shoulders and pulled me to him.

" You are going to do great Roza, I know you will" He said kissing the top of my head.

Even though that's all he said he made me feel a lot better. It's weird that all Dimitri has to do is be around me and I feel like nothing else matters.

"Rose wake up" I heard Liza say through the bond. I just rolled over and tried to go back to sleep.

"Rose you better be up, I'm on my way to your room" Liza said through the bond.

"Damn it" I cursed to myself. I knew Lisa wouldn't leave me alone until I got up.

'Knock'

'Knock'

'Knock'

I rolled out of bed and opened the door.

" Hey Liz" I said rubbing my eyes.

" Rose get ready the bus leaves for St. Paul's in a half and hour"

" Calm down Liz, I packed last night, all I have to do is get dressed" I said shutting the door behind her as she walked towards my bed.

"Wow Rose I'm impressed" Liz said sitting on my bed grabbing one of my magazines from my nightstand.

"Well don't get your hopes up to high" I said laughing and walking in the bathroom to get ready.

"I'm sorry I haven't been around much in the past few weeks Liz" I said as we were walking to the bus.

"It's okay Rose, I know you've been practicing really hard for these trials and I am very proud of you by the way." Liza said bumping me.

"Thanks Liz" I said bumping her back.

We got to the bus and gave our bags to the guardians to put them in the back. We had to wait until the guardians gave us the okay to get on the bus.

Liz walked over to stand by here lover boy which left me standing by myself. That was until I saw my Russian God walking up with his bag over his shoulder.

" Hello there, Comrade" I said as he walked beside me.

" Hello, Roza" He said guardian mask on but smirking at the same time.

" Did you sleep well last night" He said eying me.

Why would he ask that? I thought to myself. He must have known what I was thinking because he did his cool one eyebrow thing.

" Because of your nerves Roza, that's why I asked"

"Oh ya, ha-ha" I said feeling a little dumb at the moment.

" So?" Dimitri continued to ask

" Actually I slept pretty good last night, I've been exhausted from all the training." I answered truthfully

" Well that's good because…."

"DIMKA!"
