Rose pov

Today was the day. Graduation. It felt like just yesterday that I was just starting school and now I'm graduating. Man, time sure does fly. I took a deep breath, forcing the tears back. Stupid hormones, I thought. But, as I thought that, I smiled and laid my hand on my stomach. I thought of Dimitri and I smiled wider.

I put my robes on, glad they covered my growing stomach. I was starting to show; I didn't want it getting out quite yet.

I heard a knock at the door and went to go open it. It was Lissa.

"You ready to go?" she asked.

I nodded. "Give me a second." I got my shoes and put them on, leaving and locking the door.

We walked to the gym, as that was where graduation would take place. Once was got there, we had to take our places – as we're fashionably late as always (cue mental smile). I took my place and searched around for Dimitri, finding him near one of the doors.

I spaced out through most of it, but when Kirova called "Rosemarie Hathaway," I stopped spacing out and went up to the stage.

I winced while getting my promise mark, but it didn't hurt as much as my first molnija mark. Once I was finished, I looked around the crowd and saw how happy all of my friends were of me.

Kirova announced, "Rosemarie Hathaway, you're assigned Moroi shall be…" there was a dramatic pause. "…Vasilisa Dragomir."

Everyone applauded and Lissa came running, as fast as she could in heels, up to me and we hugged, jumping up and down like little school girls on drugs.

After graduation was over, I ran over to Dimitri and hugged him like he was the air I breathe. He hugged me back.

"We can't, Rose," he whispered.

"It's after graduation," I whispered back, kissing him.

He kissed me back. Suddenly there was a sharp intake of breath.
