SilverStone Academy

Jace

I pull Rayah out of the guy's grip and take her in my arms, wondering what would have happened.

Rayah

Once the others walk off, Jackie looks at us, "Upstairs. Now. Your room."

Jace

"What... what were they going to do?" I ask, walking with Rayah up to the dorm.

Rayah

I Shake my head, walking with him, "I have no idea."

Jace

I swallow and nod, opening the door for her and keeping close.

Rayah

I sit on the bed once we get inside, sighing.

Jace

I sit beside her and take a deep breath, shaking my head.

Rayah

I look at him an sigh, "I'm sorry that my mother is Aphrodite..." I murmur, "S'a pain in the a*s sometimes."

Jace

I glance at her confused, "What does... Oh. That's what they wanted then..."

Rayah

I nod, "And so...I am sorry."

Jace

I flash a smile and shake my head, kissing her temple, "Don't apologize for that. Ever."

Rayah

I look at him, "Why?"

The bell rings for school to end and Jackie walks in, dropping her bag before looking at me with my arms crossed, "Please explain...why you were out in the hallway, anyways?"

Jace

I'm just about to answer Rayah when the bell rings and Jackie walks in. Nic follows soon after, plopping beside me and setting his feet on my lap. He sighs and looks around, realizing he's in the middle of a conversation.

"Carry on, children," he waves his hand at Rayah and I, "Answer the question."

Rayah

I look at Jackie, "Got introuble."

She stares at us before flicking my ear and getting to her homework.

Jace

Nic kicks me and flicks the side of my head before jumping off the bed and going to the window, sighing. I shake my head at him and sigh as well, getting out my homework.
