Kallos (Kallos Series) - By Khelsey Jackson Page 0,20

He can only guess it's about Kallos. Mary is very jealous and has shown it in the past. His only concern is for Kallos; his ex is crazy and powerful.

She moves closer to him and wraps his arms around his waist. “That you and the new girl are together.” She looks up at him and bats her eyes. “Yesterday I saw your brother kissing her.” What? Ian kissed Kallos. He looks at Mary, and she is grinning from ear to ear. She moves her hand from his face to his shirt.

“Please let go of me Mary.” He tries to move away, but she holds on tighter.

“I will get you back. You are mine, not the new girl’s.” She glares at him, and he pulls her hand away from his shirt.

“I don't think that is going to happen,” Sean says calmly; he doesn't want to hurt her. She quickly looks down. At one point, he did care about her. He knows that she is in love with him, and he wishes he could take it from her.

“Why not?” Mary asks and looks up to meet his eyes. He can see in her eyes how he has hurt her. Her pale cheeks are streaking with her tears that are falling from her obvious heartache.

He takes a deep breath and grabs her hands. “Any guy would be lucky to have you. But I am not that guy.” He can see the tears in her eyes, and he brings her hand to his lips. “I'm sorry that I hurt you.” She nods and takes her hands back. Then she turns around and walks away from him. He finally gets into his locker.

“I don't think I have ever seen you that nice before.” Sean glances over his shoulder and sees Kellee.

“Well, I feel bad.” He grabs what he needs and turns around.

“Right and it has nothing to do with Kallos?” He really hasn't talked to Kellee before. She is more Ian's friend, and they don't share well.

“I am a nice guy,” Sean says, and she starts to laugh. He doesn't blame her. He has been a jerk to almost everyone. “Look, I know that I have been a jerk to you, and I'm sorry.” Kellee's mouth drops open, and he smiles.

She clears her throat. “Jerk is too nice of a word. But thank you for telling me you're sorry.” She smiles at him and walks away. He heads to his homeroom.

Kallos can see Ian watching her from the corner of her eye. She looks over at him and he grins. “I met Aphrodite,” she says. He comes to her and takes her hands in his.

“That means that your change is coming.” Ian says; he is standing in front of her. When he is this close to her, she can’t breathe. She forces herself to take a deep breath.

“She told me a way to relieve the pain.” He looks away, and she can tell that he is remembering the pain.

“How?” His eyes pin her with his baby blues.

“I have to find my soul mate.” She says as she is looking in his eyes. His eyebrows rise, and he moves closer. She can feel her heart beating faster, and she knows that heat has risen to her face.

“How do you find your soul mate?” He asks as he inches toward her. They are still looking in each other’s eyes.

“Um, she said I would know when I kissed him.” All of a sudden, his lips are on hers. Ian’s lips are soft and molding perfectly to her. His hands go around her back, and he pulls her closer to him. Kallos wraps her arms around his neck. Her whole body is heating up and something inside of her wants to hold on to him forever. Her mark starts to warm and then cool. This is her first kiss, and it is perfect. Just when she thinks she may explode, he pulls away slowly, and when she opens her eyes, she doesn't see him looking at her. His eyes are still closed from their kiss. She can see that he is breathing heavily. Could he be the one? “Ian?” she asks. He opens his eyes and looks at her. Just then, the bell rings. He looks at the school and shakes his head.

Ian clears his throat. “We better get to class.” Then he leaves her and walks to the school. Kallos is left alone and breathless. It seems that people like to leave her out here. She rushes after
