faster. Kallos is having a hard time catching her breath she doesn't know if sitting with them is the best idea

But looking at Ian, she can only tell him, “Okay.” He smiles, and once again, she feels her cheeks heat up. She has never forgotten who she was around a boy, much less two. All of her friends make fun of her, since she hasn’t had a boyfriend.

She keeps looking at the clock, and is relieved to see it’s almost lunch. She feels anxiousness like none she has ever felt before now. She wonders why she gets weird feels whenever Sean and Ian are around.

As she is walking toward the lunchroom, she can see Sean waiting for her, but he isn’t alone. He has four beautiful girls with him. The red head touches his waist, and Kallos wants to scream, Mine! Where did that come from? He isn’t hers, even if she wants him to be. She is almost upon him and starts thinking maybe I should keep walking… She is just about to turn away, when she hears her name. Crap! She stops and looks at him. He smiles at the other girls and they giggle. “Ladies, I have to go.” The red head pouts and gives him a puppy dog look.

Kallos wanted to laugh at her. She never understood why girls did that. Kallos looks closer at the other girl and could see that she was wearing an LV scarf wrapped around her neck and Ed Hardy shirt and pants. The girl glances at Kallos and rolls her eyes. “Sean don’t you want to skip lunch and come with me?” She winks at him, and he just grins at her.

“Sorry Mary. I already have plans.” Then he starts to walk to Kallos, which only takes him three steps. “Come on Kallos,” he says as he holds out his hand for her. She can feel something inside her reaching out for him before she even moves her hand. She gives into him and puts her hand in his. As they walk away, she notices that most of the kids are staring at them. She is just about to pull away, but Sean tightens his hold as if he knew what she was thinking.

They walk past the lunch line and straight to the back of the lunchroom. She glances around, and didn’t see anyone but Ian sitting at the very back, and he was alone. He smiles at her and then at Sean. She looks at the table, and Ian already has their lunches as well as hers. She is so hungry and instant relief washes over her as she realizes how thoughtful they were to think of her meal also. When she gets closer, Ian stands up. He moves to a chair next to where he was sitting and pulled out the chair for her.

“Thank you,” she whispers; he nods and gives her a sexy half smile. He sits on her left, and Sean sits to her right. She feels a certain aversion to the way they are looking at her. Their brows furrow looking scared and sad. They each take one of her hands, and she looks at Ian then back at Sean.

“Kallos, I didn’t tell you everything last night,” Ian starts. “I didn’t tell you about us.” This makes her heart beat a little faster. What else could be worse than finding out that she is adopted? Ian lets go of her hand and she turns to look him; and he reaches for her face. He lightly frames her face with both of his smooth hands and smiles at her. His touch is calming… “We are also reincarnated. I am Apollo and Sean is Aries.” She stares at him dumbfounded. Kallos remembers what she read the other night about gods and goddesses, she read that Apollo was one of Aphrodite’s many loves and Ares was the god of war. Why would anyone tell her this unless they were telling the truth? She still isn’t convinced that she is Aphrodite; she’s not that pretty. This is crazy! Ian removes his left hand, and she could see the bow with an arrow being pulled. “This is my birthmark. He puts it right in front of her face to make sure she looks. “It’s like yours.”

Sean tugs on her right hand to get her to look at him. He shows her his left hand. Right under his thumb is a helmet with a spear going through it. She strokes her
