You guys have to understand that I have no clue what I’m doing. I have never had a boyfriend and never had these feelings. Now, I may have two boyfriends. You really have to be patient with me,” Kallos says and looks both of them in the eyes. They both nod and smile.
They continue walking to school, and they are still holding hands. Kallos really loves being next to both of them. A car honks next to them; stopping dead in her tracks as she looks up she sees her dad’s car. The boys must have known because they quickly let go of her hands, and she can see her dad nod. As he drives past, she and the boys let out the breath they were all holding.
“Your dad scares the crap out of me,” Sean says, and Kallos bursts out laughing. Sean is her bad boy. She thought nothing could scare him, but she guesses everyone is afraid of something. “I thought he was going to rip my head off this morning. At least I was the one wearing clothes,” he teases and looks at Ian. Ian just laughs. Thinking about Ian fresh out of the shower and just wearing a towel makes Kallos’ face burn.
“I’m sure he would have killed me, but he didn’t see. From now on, we’ll text in the morning if we need each other. We can’t afford not to be with you, Kallos,” Ian states. That was true; she needed to be by at least one of them all the time. Ian bent down to whisper in her ear, “But that kiss this morning was amazing!” Kallos looks straight ahead because she is getting tired of trying to hide her blushing. She can see the school and sighs with relief. As they walk up to the door, Sean and Ian reach to open the door at the same time. She chuckles and walks in. When she gets to her locker, she notices that the nice girl whose locker was on her left isn’t there anymore. Sean is to her left and Ian is next to him. Kallos slams her locker shut and walks towards her first class. Of course, both of the boys catch up to her. Sean pulls her into a janitor’s closet and Ian shuts the door.
“Why are you mad?” Sean asks as he rubs his necklace. “And don’t tell me you aren’t; I can feel it. It’s like your anger is burning my skin.” This must be the connection that Ares was talking about. They would know her feelings, know all about them.
“I don’t like not knowing what’s going on,” she says. Kallos knows that she sounds ridiculous. It doesn't change the facts that they kept the locker change from her.
“Kallos, is this about the lockers? The only reason we changed lockers is because all of our classes are closer to this side of the school. Plus we need to be with you,” Ian says and moves closer to Sean and her. “We won’t ever keep anything from you that are important. I promise you that,” he says as he takes her hand.
“I also promise not to keep anything from you,” Sean adds and takes her other hand. Just like that, her anger vanishes as if it just melted away. She understands why they need to be with her; they proved it last night.
“I’m sorry; I really don’t know why I freaked out like that.” Kallos has never reacted like this before. Maybe it's because she has never had feelings for someone before. She feels both of them tighten their hold on her hands.
“Kallos, we should get to class. You will see Sean in your next class, and if your dad already talked to Mr. Nelson, he’ll sit next to you.” Ian opens the door and glances out. He nods, as she feels Sean push her out of the door. There are some kids still in the hallway, but they are all hurrying to class and aren’t taking notice of them. Sean brings Kallos’ hand to his mouth and gently kisses it. Ian is pulling her away.
“Come on; we’re going to be late.”
Kallos is giggling when they enter the classroom. As soon as Ian and Kallos walk in the door, the shrill bell rings. She hopes that Sean made it on time. She and Ian hurry to the last two desks. Karissa is staring in awe at Ian. Kallos now knows why Karissa doesn't like her. Karissa has a thing for
