9- Admiring Your Work

I roll my eyes chuckling, I know he was doing it just to be a dick..but i also know he was also serious. He is a stickler for rules, always been like that. " Shut up Dain." I say again smiling at him, " Leave the poor girl alone."

He turns his attention to me, " I see you here." His eyes float to Hetta again for just a moment before they're locked on me. " How was your night?"

Wild.

" Riveting." I say sarcastically, " Couldn't sleep."

" So...you went out after hours as well?" He asked a bit annoyed, I swear my eyes bugged out of my head, " What?" I ask dumbly. Now my hear was beating fast, I can feel Hetta's look on us, how did he find out?

" Your neck.." He touches it, I wince back it hurts..alot.. " Who's room?"

I could hear the jealousy..was he? Was he jealous? I made me smile " I wasn't in anyone's room."

" Who was it?" He asks again.

" Why are you concerned about it?" I ask smiling. He pauses, " I'm..not. It's..just an observation."

" Dain..do you want to know about my sex life?" I tease. He looks away, " I was just asking because... no one here deserves you."

" Then who deserves me then?" I push further. I could feel the unanswered tension...I could cut it with my sheathed dagger if I really wanted to. He shrugs, " No one here at Basgiath War College." He finally answers with a little more sincerity. He stands abruptly " So, should we go?"

I nod, " You need a wheelchair Hetta? I can wheel you?"

Her gaze snaps to mine, " No.." She grumbles, annoyed with our jokes. He couldn't help but laugh, " Need help up?"

She sends me a glare I know should be menacing, but I know she's not as mean as she tried to be...at all. " We'll walk slow." Dain looks at her borderline annoyed, as we walked at snail speed. He looks every Cadet over as we pass them, his hand brushing mine once in awhile. I thought it was accident at first..now it's happening way to often so I'm not to sure now.

I wished he just said he deserved me, doesn't he know I like him?

We reach our next class, ' Knowing Dragon Kind' A class that will prep us for Threshing and riding once we're bonded, the one class besides combat I genuinely like. Dain drops us off, " I'll pick you back up for combat." He says giving me a small smile, ignoring Hetta.

" Yea.. see you later." I smile.

Once he leaves I see Hetta watch him before her soft hazel almond eyes were on me, " So..you two.."

" You have a hater with benefits..I like a guy that I'm not sure wants to admit he likes me... rather not talk about it." I say quickly giving her a slight nudge which she grins at. " Fair enough." We take our seats more towards the back while Professor Kaori describes all the types and kinds of dragons for the intro.

I take a notepad out taking notes, seeing it occupies me during classes to take notes it also helps me learn and great to look back and review with. " Anf what dragon is known for having a temper?" Kaori asks.

I raise my hand, " Red Scorpion tails?"

He grins, " Yes, great job Ms. Sorrengail."

" Good job." Hetta smiles.

I hear a grumble from my left see Jack Barlowe glaring at me, a small scar runnign across his face. I avert my eyes to mask my grin I had.. I love seeing my handywork.
