He had called him my boyfriend; did I not just say he was technically my boss? Not that I ever actually cared that Mattheo was in charge I still did what I wanted to not what I was told to do but when he put his hand on me, I let go. I never let go, I have never let an opponent live. That wasn't what I was taught, if my mentor could see me now, he'd have me flogged. They were all just following me quietly and as much as I wanted to be alone, I was glad they were here.
"Matt," my voice shattered the silence between us all "Can I talk to you?" I needed to make sure he hadn't told them what I did.
"Of course" he turned to the others and shooed them away "What's wrong?" Why did something have to be wrong? Why was he concerned?
We walked a little bit further in silence just to make sure that no one was listening.
"What I said" I hung my head
"what do you mean?" I looked into his warm eyes
"You know what I mean, when I snapped back I..." He cut me off.
"I didn't hear anything" he spoke softly "Don't worry about it" I smiled at him and nodded.
"now that's a nice view" he laughed
"What is?" my face heated
"Seeing you smiling" he was just looking at me but it felt like he was burning holes straight to my soul "Its rare but its nice" he brushed a stray curl out of his eyes and I noticed yellow flecks as the sun hit them. I shook the thought out of my head.
"we should find the other two, it is getting close to dinner, and I still haven't gotten my schedule" The smile on his face dropped slightly as he nodded in agreement.
"Yeah we should, probably get that sorted out" he stepped to the side letting me walk down the path first. When we finally found Theo and Dawn, they were sat on a bench looking over the lake, they were both giggling about something.
"If you two are done flirting we could do with heading back" Matt called to them as we approached. Dawn looked at us her face had gone bright red. I couldn't help but laugh at her.
"We weren't" she yelled getting off the bench at the speed of light. Theo winked at us, and I burst out laughing which only made Dawn go redder.
The lady in the reception area pointed us towards the scheduling office but it was difficult to hear her instructions over Matt and Dawn arguing about what happened earlier. I was glad that she'd got over the formalness she had when she first met him.
"what do I say?" I turned to Dawn who was doing everything she could not to punch Mattheo. We were stood outside the door to the office, she just smiled at me and walked in first.
"Hi can someone help us please" she greeted the grey haired woman behind the desk. The women held up a hand and then pointed to the phone by her ear. Dawn just nodded and stepped back from the desk slightly. After about 10 minuets the women finally ended the phone and looked between us.
"what problem can I help you with that needs four of you?" she did not look Impressed with us at all
"Well it didn't need all of us" Dawn shot a look at the boys who were now just whispering to each other.
"Oh ur yeah we will wait outside" Theo stumbled with his words and the boy swiftly left the office. Dawn looked at me indicating it was my turn to speak.
"I was just wondering if I could get my schedule I wasn't given one at the beginning tour like everyone else" the women pushed her glasses higher on her nose,
"And why didn't you query this earlier?" I shuffled on my feet and looked at the ground,
"we were planning on it but..." she cut me off
"Well planning on doing something isn't the same as doing it" She huffed at me then started typing something on her computer "Name?" her eyes bore holes into me.
"Saffron Morelli"
"Here," she tapped hard on her keyboard and the printer to her left started whirring, once the paper spat out of the slot she looked back up at us "Take it, I'm too busy for this" Dawn grabbed it off the printer and pushed me out the office.
"Do you, have it?" Theo searched me with his eyes
"Its here" Dawn waved the paper in front of him, he grabbed it out his hand and checked it against his and Matt's.
"We have no courses together" a defeated look spread across his face.
"That can't be right" Matt snatched the two pieces of paper from Theo and scanned the pages himself "He's right" He handed the pages to Dawn.
"Of course I was right!" Theo whined. Dawn was now checking the pages against her classes, she had a surprised look on her face.
"Saff you have all the same courses as me apart from martial arts, you're in the advanced combat course" Theo leant over her shoulder.
"Wait why aren't I in advanced combat? I have the same level training as her!" Dawn waved him away and looked over the papers at me
"Saff you are in all the advanced classes" she cocked an eyebrow at me.
"I don't see why everyone is surprised that I'm in the advance courses" I slumped into the waiting chairs outside the office.
"We aren't, we are surprised that me and Theo aren't" Matt sat next to me "We all expecting to be training together as that was the point of sending us here wasn't it?" I just shrugged and put my head in my hands. I was exhausted after the events of the day. I just wanted to slump into my bed and never get back out. Dawn ushered the boys away and we said our goodbyes and she showed me where my room was.
