Kallos (Kallos Series) - By Khelsey Jackson Page 0,3
Sean and starts to laugh. Sean doesn't look too happy that he didn't get to meet her first.
“What! I was supposed to meet her first! I’m still the oldest!” Sean yells at Ian. Ian just puts his hand on his shoulder in a condescending reassurance.
“Will you keep it down?” Ian says quietly, and Sean narrows his dark turning eyes.
“I thought you’re with Nikki,” Sean says, and smiles at Ian.
Ian rolls his eyes. “That's old news. Besides Kallos is the one; I can feel it.” Their parents have told them that Kallos was their soul mate, but to only one of them. They have kept a watchful eye on Kallos as she grew up, hoping that one day she would be the one to fall in love with one of them. They have waited sixteen years for her to grow up. Now she is here among them.
“Well you might want to forget her now. You know girls always choose me over you.” Sean smirks then winks at Ian and walks away. Ian knows that Sean will be meeting Kallos really soon. He is a little nervous for her to meet his cocky player of a brother.
Ian laughs as his brother walks away. He really hates how sure Sean is. He knows there is something there with Kallos; he felt his heart speed up when he saw her and when he touched her his heart nearly stopped. He kind of feels sorry for his brother because Kallos is his soul mate, not Sean’s. He heads in the same direction as Kallos just walked, hopefully to the same classroom.

As Kallos walks briskly, watching only for people in her path and numbers on doors, she knows that she is still blushing and doesn't know why. When she finally finds her homeroom, she only has two minutes to spare before the bell rings disrupting her train of thought. She looks around and finds an empty seat in the middle of the room. The girl seated in the small wooden desk to Kallos' right smiles at her, and Kallos returns her smile as she introduces herself. “Hello, I’m Kallos.”
“Hi, I’m Karissa.” She notices Karissa's long, dark blonde hair is wavy and her eyes are a beautiful shade of green. Suddenly, the room gets quiet. As Kallos looks up, she sees Ian walk in the door. Her heart flutters and the butterflies threaten to overtake her breath again; she realizes that there is only one seat left and it is next to her. He walks over and smiles at Kallos as he sits down. Lucky for her it’s right next to her.
He smiles and says, “I told you I’d see you later, Kallos.” He shifts his gaze to Karissa and says, “Hey Kris, how are you?”
Karissa smiles, “I’m great! How about you?”
He stares into Kallos’ eyes as he says, “Great.”
Kallos averts her eyes as the teacher, Mrs. Kendall, walks in and quiets the class. “This class is to study and for your class meetings; for today, you guys can talk. But don’t get used to it. It’s the first day and I have a lot to get ready for the year.” Suddenly, she feels Ian’s eyes still on her. She doesn't have the guts to actually look at him.
Karissa turns toward Kallos and smiles as she pushes her hair behind her ears. “So, I heard your dad is the new principal.” Kallos was hoping people didn’t already know, but apparently it was false hope. She nods. “That’s nice. I also hear he’s a hottie.” Kallos just shakes her head. She is used to her friends telling her that her dad looks like Brad Pitt with black hair, but she can’t believe this stranger is telling her this. As if jolted with a bolt of electricity, she jumps when she feels someone touch her shoulder. She has a strange warming sensation coming from deep in her body, as she jerks away from Ian's touch. He laughs in response.
“So what do you hide behind those goddess like eyes?” Ian reminds Kallos of a movie star. She was staring again and mentally shook her head to remember the question he just asked.
“What do you mean?” She could see him smile from out of the corner of her eye.
“Have you ever been to a party?” She hadn't. It isn’t easy being the daughter of parents who had to know where she was every second of everyday she was gone. She hadn't even been on a date.
