A/N: Sorry I took so long to post but I had exams to study for and then a lot of crapped happened at home and I had to deal with it. The school became a hassle. So long story short, sorry I didn't post earlier and I hope this chapter is okay. Thanks to ieaturcookies for her ongoing advice. This chapter is dedicated to you.

After my wonderful meeting with Kirova and Mister I-think-I'm-so-special-because-I-got-Rose-out-of-trouble Belikov I am now in the gym cleaning, just what I want to be doing on my Saturday afternoon. On top of being back at the academy I also have to be training with Dimitri. Argh that guy gets me! He so quiet one moment and then he thinks he can interrogate me as to whether I was fully prepared to protect Lissa.

I mean first it's hell from Kirova for running away, then it my worst nightmare lecture time from pretentious, awful and vile Stan and finally a guy I don't even now feels the need to interrogate. Who does he think he is? Superman. Ha doesn't he wish.

Its sucks tomorrow I officially start training with the Belikov dude. I miss Adrian I haven't seen him all day and instead of sneaking out of my room to go to his I'm here cleaning because apparently this is my punishment for running away and for allegedly destroying school property.

I'm mopping the floor when someone walks into the gym. I hear the door close but most of the lights are off so I can't see the person as they are in the shadows.

"Rose?" Someone asks.

"Who's asking?" I say getting the mop ready to use for defensive attack, though I am sceptical as to whether or not it will do much damage considering how badly I did today in class with the other novices.

The lights are all turned on and I squint, waiting for my eyes to adjust to the sudden change of brightness. I open my eyes all the way and see Dimitri standing next to the light switch.

"What are you doing in here? It's way past curfew?" Dimitri asked stepping away from the light switch and stepping a little towards me but he's still about two meters away.

"I'm cleaning." I said in an obvious tone while holding up the mop.

"Why?" See interrogation could he just take I'm cleaning but no still needs to ask.

"Punishment," I said getting annoyed.

"Okay well you should put that away and get back to your dorm before you get into more trouble."

"Wait? What are you doing out here?" I ask turning to conversation away from me.

"I'm on duty and your about to get into trouble if you don't go to your room."

"Okay no need to be snippy."

"Snippy?" He asked. His eyes widened a fraction.

"Snobby."

"Snobby?" His tone raised a little

"Sniffy."

"Sniffy?" He asked raising an eyebrow. Cor, I always wanted to be able to do that.

"Shutupy." I said getting annoyed at the repeating.

"Okay that's it." He sad snapping. He snatched the mop out of my hand but I held firmly on to it.

"Let go."

"No you," He pulled it towards him and I staggered forward letting go off the mop. He huffed and put it in the cupboard, spill out the dirty water and put it with the mop.

"Let's go." He said grabbing a firm hold of my upper arm; turned off the lights and lead me towards my dorm.

"I know how to get to my room." I said tugging away from his grip but he just held on tighter.

"Obviously not," He said trying to ignore me.

"Dimitri let go of me." I said pulling away from him.

"If you stop tugging maybe I will."

"Who the hell do you think you are?" I asked my voice getting louder. He stopped walking and made me face him.

"I am your mentor and you will start treating me like one. Do you have no respect?"

"You did not just go there." I said getting angry. "You want respect start showing it. Just because you're my mentor doesn't give you the right to treat me like crap." I pulled away from his grasp and stormed away to my room without a look back at him.

I slammed the door behind me once I got to my room.

"Argh!" I yelled out frustrated.

"Rose what's wrong?" Someone asked. I looked up to see Adrian lying on my bed shirtless.

"Nothing." He walked over to me.

"It didn't seem like that a moment ago."

"Adrian, don't worry. It's just stress from being back and getting to a school schedule and changing back to a vampire schedule." I said trying to get him off my case. He didn't need to know that Dimitri was trying to be a smart ass.

"Okay well why don't we do something." He asked.

"What did you have in mind?"

"Why don't you help me remove the rest of my clothing?" He said kissing me down my neck.

"Adrian." I said shoving him off me. "I don't have time for games, maybe another time."

"Okay." He said pouting.

"Come on don't do that to me. It's not fair." I said feeling bad. Puppy dog look and pouting worked well with Adrian. "Stop doing that." I said moving my hands to his mouth to try and get him to smile.

After a while I huffed frustrated that he wouldn't smile. I knew one thing that would make him smile. I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him. He instantly responded and kissed me back. He moaned into my mouth as the kiss intensified. I pulled away after a while but he kept me in his grasp.

"Adrian you should go now. I need to wake up to have training with Dimitri and get ready for a full day of school." He pouted and let go off me.

"I'll see you tomorrow." He said opening the door.

"Bye." I said walking up to him and giving him a hug.

"Have a good beauty sleep." He said as he walked away from me.

"Oh, ha ha." I said in a non-humours tone. I could almost imagine him smirking as he walked away.

"Shouldn't you been in your dorm Miss Hathaway?" A familiar annoying voice asked. I looked up to see Dimitri walking in the direction of my room.

"Shouldn't you learn to leave me alone?" I muttered

"What was that?" I sweat it looked like he was trying to hide a smirk but I must be mistaken.

"Nothing," I said wanting the conversation to end.

"Well then you should go into your room."

"What the-. Argh." I said slamming my door shut. That guy has serious issues. I swear I heard chuckling outside my door. I wanted to pull it open and slap him but decided to contain my anger, which is a first. There was something about that guy that just gets to me. If I can't stand to see him outside my room or talking to him then how am I going to survive a couple of hours training with him? God what have I gotten myself into? I thought as I contemplated ways to avoid him. I soon fell asleep angry of the day's events. Being brought back, meeting Dimitri, having to train with him and doing detentions for my punishment.

A/N: I know I already dedicated this chapter to one person but I need to dedicate to another person. The author deserves to be dedicated to. I am in no way affiliated with her neither does she know I did this. I think you guys should read her stories because they are really good. I'm not trying to make you guys feel pity for her but she has an eye disease and she is finding it hard to write her stories. , you are an amazing author and I hope with all my heart you get better.

Love; Ana :-)
