Drabble:41
POV:Third Person
She had come to the dorm lobby to post a letter. She missed home, and her parents. Also, the fact that she didn't have many friends made her homesick. Praying for a swift reply to the letter, she was just about to leave when she saw them. The dark-haired teenage dhampir and the tall, dark andhandsome man accompanying her.
Both figures were considered legends, albeit of different nature, throughout campus; even then, the girl wasn't shocked to see them together. What surprised her was their rapport. The way they were behaving was friendlier than what their age-difference and mentoring relationship would suggest.
The young moroi watched, transfixed, as the guy opened the door for his companion, who came indoors with a smile, both their hands occupied by cardboard boxes. After speaking a few words to her, the male headed off towards the teachers' quarters. The dark-haired girl, with her hair pulled into a ponytail, stared after him with a soft smile on her face.
Hesitantly, and curiously, the moroi girl inched towards the dhampir, wanting to talk to her, but not knowing what to say. When the dhampir saw her, her eyes almost bugged out in surprise. The curly-haired moroi couldn't help but exclaim animatedly, "OhMyGod! You're Rose Hathaway, aren't you?". When Rose confirmed her identity, she asked about her molnijas, which Rose showed- leaving her starstruck.
When Rose asked for her name, the younger girl gushed excitedly, introducing herself. "Jillian—Jill. I mean, just Jill. Not both. Jillian's my full name. Jill's what everyone calls me." When Rose laughed with her, Jill rambled on, thanking the stars for having come to the lobby then.
Jill asked her about her relationship with her attractive mentor, and their evident friendship, which made Rose fidget uneasily and blush. Ohmygod! Rose Hathaway blushed! Gathering encouragement, she dared to ask Rose about her alleged relationship with the handsome, emerald-eyed Adrian Ivashkov, which (sadly) Rose immediately dismissed as lies. They continued talking and Jill felt elated. She knew she had a habit of rambling nervously, which annoyed her friends, but Rose gave no indication of being irritated or bored.
After about 10 minutes, Guardian Belikov returned with Ms. Davis, and Rose introduced Jill to her mentor-Dimitri. She called him by his Christian name and he didn't even chide her! Jill hesitantly shook the proffered hand of the extremely-hot guardian, who smiled kindly at her. Jill felt so overwhelmed, she was sure she'd pass out. Excusing herself as quickly as she could, Jill escaped and raced up the staircase. Peeking a first-floor window, Jill watched as the mentor-pupil duo walked away together, laughing and chatting. They had been so nice to Jill, and so friendly! They hadn't been irritated or condescending because she was a nervous, teenage non-royal moroi. Smiling like the Cheshire Cat, Jill skipped towards her best friend, Amy's room to gossip about her unexpected encounter. Guardian Belikov and Rose Hathaway! Amy was gonna be soooo jealous!
